Sports Performance – Offered at all of our locations

We focus on enhancing our athlete’s performance in competition by using the latest advancements in sports science and Kinesiology to develop a sport-specific strength and conditioning program that improves his/her overall athleticism. Our athletes improve their strength, agility, speed, power, coordination, and balance as it relates to their chosen sport. Check out our hard-working athletes across many sports!

Pilates – Primarily offered at our Vernon Hills location

Our Pilates instructors incorporate a series of precise movements that engage the body’s deep muscles, particularly those in the abdomen, back, and pelvis. By emphasizing controlled and flowing movements, Pilates not only strengthens the muscles but also improves coordination, balance, and range of motion. It is a low-impact exercise suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels, and it can be adapted to accommodate specific needs or goals. Whether you’re aiming to tone your muscles, alleviate back pain, recover from an injury, or simply enhance your overall well-being, Pilates offers a comprehensive approach to physical fitness that promotes both strength and flexibility.

Note: Group and private Pilates classes are offered in Vernon Hills. Pilates specific to physical therapy is offered at both locations.

We also offer guidance both in-person and virtual to specific recovery protocols tailored to your needs. TFI Chicago hosts ice bath workshops throughout the summer right outside our clinic.
