Most women over 60 make this mistake after an injury…

hey stop moving.

Or worse,
they try to jump right back into the same workouts…
and end up right back in pain.

Here’s what most don't realize:

👉 Your body didn’t “fail” you.
👉 It adapted… and now it needs a different approach.

We see this every day with women in their 60s and 70s who:

• Feel stiff getting out of bed
• Avoid workouts they used to love
• Worry they might make things worse

But once they understand how to safely rebuild strength and movement…
everything changes.

That’s exactly why we put this together 👇

We broke down:
✔️ How to return to exercise after injury
✔️ What to avoid (this is where most go wrong)
✔️ How to rebuild strength without re-injury

This is the same approach we use inside our clinic every day.

One of the things we love most about being part of the Evanston community is seeing neighbors support one another. 💙

Someone shared this recommendation in a local community group about Skillz Physical Therapy, and it meant a lot to our team.

She wrote that she came in with neck, arm, and shoulder pain, and after just a few weeks of working with Aime and the team, her pain was gone and she had exercises to stay strong and flexible at home.

Another neighbor commented that Aime has helped many friends and family members recover from injuries and find pain relief.
And someone else simply said: “She’s the best.”

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do.

To everyone in Evanston who trusts us with their recovery and recommends us to their neighbors...Thank You!!!

We are grateful to care for this community every day. 💝

We recently came across a conversation in the community that meant a lot to us.

Someone in Skokie asked their neighbors if anyone had a good experience with a physical therapist for lower back pain.

Seeing our clinic mentioned by someone in the Evanston community was deeply meaningful.

Skillz Physical Therapy has always been built around one simple belief:

Help people move with confidence again so they can return to the activities that make life feel like theirs.

Many of the women who visit our clinic are leaders in their fields — professors, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, and caregivers.

They spend their lives helping others.

But even strong people deserve help when pain begins to interfere with the way they want to live.

Whether it's back pain, neck tension, or TMJ discomfort, our goal is always the same:

Help our patients move with freedom again.

To our neighbors who trust us enough to recommend us — thank you!

Your support means everything.

Have you ever received a recommendation from a neighbor that turned out to be incredibly helpful?

Spent the afternoon with the future of healthcare in Evanston.

Today I spent the afternoon at Evanston Township High School speaking with students in the CNA program about patient mobility and assistive devices.

We practiced how to safely use crutches, walkers, and other mobility tools, and talked about how communication between healthcare professionals is essential in settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation facilities.

I took the afternoon away from the clinic because supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals matters. These students will soon be caring for patients in our hospitals and long-term care facilities, and the skills they are learning now will make a real difference in people’s lives.

It was inspiring to see their curiosity and dedication to helping others.

Grateful to be part of a community that invests in future caregivers.

Morning back pain is very common.

Try 10 press-ups before getting out of bed to help reduce stiffness.

Save this so you remember to try it tomorrow morning.

Why do completely healthy, high-achieving women in Evanston develop back, neck, and jaw pain...even when there’s no injury?”

Many of the women who walk through our doors are strong, accomplished, and organized.
They teach, research, run teams, care for patients, and manage families, all while appearing composed and capable.

Yet, accumulated physical load can show up in pain and stiffness.

Our Thorough Evaluation and Custom-fit Treatment Plan is designed to support the women who carry so much.

What our Evanston neighbors are saying about their experience at Skillz Physical Therapy…

Many of the women who come to our clinic tell us the same story:

They spent years trying different treatments without real relief. Then something finally changes once we identify the actual root cause of the problem.

Staying active after 60 shouldn’t mean pushing through knee or hip pain.

In fact, some of the best activities for women in their 60s are low-impact — and far better for joint health and long-term mobility.

Strong women often carry more than people realize.

Some lead teams.
Some manage families.
Most do both at the same time.

Today we’re recognizing the women who keep everything moving…at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Many of the patients we see at Skillz Physical Therapy are women balancing careers, motherhood, community, and their own health, often putting themselves last.

International Women’s Day is a reminder that strength isn’t just about pushing through.

It’s also about knowing when to care for yourself so you can keep showing up for the people who depend on you.

To the women of Evanston and the North Shore….we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re honored when you trust us with your care.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Most neck pain doesn’t start suddenly. It builds slowly from years of daily habits.

One of our patients had been dealing with neck pain and recurring migraines for years while balancing work and family.

Like many people, she kept pushing through it.

When she came to Skillz Physical Therapy, we focused on understanding the cause rather than just managing symptoms.

Within six weeks, her headaches were under control and daily life felt manageable again.

"I genuinely feel like my life has changed for the better."

The moment your kids walk in from school… they’re watching more than you think.

When you brace your back.
When you avoid the floor.
When you joke, “I’m getting old.”

They notice.

This new article explores how movement confidence—or movement avoidance—quietly becomes your child’s blueprint.

Strength isn’t about aesthetics.

It’s about capability.
