We start off with a short 30 minute complimentary injury screen. We use this to determine the need for physical therapy or emergency services. If patient is appropriate for physical therapy, we will need a referral from a primary care physician and we can begin the initial evaluation which takes 60-90 minutes. We are willing to discuss your needs with your primary care physician if needed.
Since injury prevention and health maintenance are wellness services, we do not need a referral to proceed.
We do NOT accept insurance and are considered an out-of-network provider with ALL insurance companies. We do this to maintain a high quality of care. You will work 1-on-1 directly with a physical therapist. If you have out-of-network benefits with your health insurance we will provide you will all of the documentation needed to turn into your insurance company for reimbursement. Therefore payment is due at the time of service. We are a fee-for-service clinic and accept cash, checks, Flex, HSA, FSA and all major credit cards.
This is easy! All you have to do is call your insurance company and ask them if your plan includes OONB. If you do have out of network benefits ask your insurance company the following questions:
Yes, we offer in-home physical therapy services by appointment only. Prior to your physical therapy session, we recommend giving us a call so we can figure out your specific needs. We can bring equipment if necessary. Typically, patients need enough space to exercise and/or lay down. We can bring a portable treatment table if needed.
Our pricing options vary depending on location, training frequency, and duration of commitment. It is best to give us a call (312-852-6570) or email us (info@counterforcept.com) for more accurate pricing information. We don’t do long term contracts and clients can pay as they go per month.
We are primarily in the downtown Chicago area. However, we also have trainers as far
We offer many different types of private and group personal training:
Each session is one hour. This provides enough time to get your body working to achieve your desired goals.
Calling (312-852-6570) to schedule the complementary fitness assessment would be the most important and crucial step prior to beginning training.
You meet with a personal trainer to go over your personal fitness goals, get your baseline measurements, learn about the variety of nutrition and exercise programs that we offer, and develop a timeline for you to achieve your goals.
We will use your measurements to create a customized meal plan. Towards the end of the assessment we will also do a physical assessment to see if there are any deficits in flexibility, strength, coordination, agility, and functional movements. Using our graded assessment we will construct a workout plan that focuses on improving those weaker areas.
Yes, we schedule “progress checks” about a month after beginning our training program to make sure you are headed in the right direction. After starting you off on the right foot we schedule progress checks every 2-3 months thereafter. We take weight, body fat percentage, and tape measurements of the waist, hips, thighs, chest/back, and arms.
No worries! The most important session for you will be the fitness assessment because we will assess how you move to ensure safety when programming your future workouts. Our top priority is client safety. We will never make you do any exercises that might cause you harm.
Every personal trainer is different. Generally, as a whole, our training hours are everyday 5AM to 10PM. There are some trainers who prefer early morning hours and some trainers who prefer to work only in the evenings. Some trainers even work weekends! It’s very individualized per trainer so it is best to call (773-510-4312) or email (info@chitowntrainer.com) us for more information.
On average, most clients train about 3x per week. Most clients choose their training frequency based off of their goals and availability.
We recommend sticking with the same personal trainer. This way, they are able to learn your strengths and weaknesses and progress your program at an appropriate rate.
Nutrition counseling sessions can take place wherever is convenient for you, even the comfort of your own home. We come to you! We even skype or tele-counsel!
Unfortunately, currently we do not accept insurance. However, we can provide an invoice with insurance codes for you to send in to your insurance provider.
Prior to the session, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire and 3-day food record. During the session, our nutritionist will discuss your health and medical history as well as your nutrition and physical activity concerns. Measurements such as weight, body fat percent, and BMI will be taken regularly to mark progress.
Based on your individual needs, a protocol will be developed and our nutritionist will help you set and achieve your health goals including dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and other recommendations.
Initial consultations may last up to 1.5 hours, while follow-up consultations may be as often and long as you request. By agreeing and abiding to the recommendations that we provide between appointments and consistently following up, you are guaranteed to see results.
Lots of people, for many different reasons! Maybe you want to lose weight or simply fine-tune your current diet. Are you managing new medication, a medical condition, or want inspiration for new, healthy recipes?
Absolutely not! We are here to individualize your health goals and nutrition plan so that you can feel confident about your meal choices while enjoying the foods you love. We will start slowly, making recommendations that will facilitate change while incorporating methods that make the most sense for your lifestyle.
Your appointments are very important and are reserved especially for you. While schedule adjustments are sometimes necessary, we strictly request 24 hours notice for cancellations.
Please understand that forgetting or cancelling an appointment without giving sufficient notice will result in a cancellation fee.
We request a minimum of 24 hours notice. Anything less than this and you will be charged for the session.
Nope! Our massage therapists bring everything necessary for you to enjoy a relaxing massage in the comfort of your home!
For a full body massage, most people undress completely. However, you may also choose to wear underwear. You will be given privacy to undress, and you will be covered with a sheet and blanket at all times except for the area which is being worked on.
Our massage therapists specialize in performing 60 minute massages.
In your home or a place of your convenience.
Aside from the benefits derived from relaxation, massage therapy has been shown to relieve stress and headaches, strengthen the immune system, improving circulation and posture, aid in digestion, lower blood pressure, increase flexibility and range of motion, as well as enhance rehabilitation. Additionally, it has been shown to relieve depression and anxiety!
Think of once a month as your baseline. Times of extra physical or mental stress may call for more frequent sessions. Finding time can seem difficult when life is extremely busy, but it’s an investment that will pay off by helping you maintain your pre-stress levels of health and wellness. If you want the maximum benefit, twice a month to one time per week is really optimal.
