Isaac is a seasoned physical therapist with a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for helping his patients. He treats each patient with compassion and care, working tirelessly to ensure they achieve their goals and live life to the fullest.

Isaac earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Studio Art from Knox College.

Isaac’s clinical practice encompasses a wide range of patients, including those with vestibular and workers’ compensation injuries, overhead and sports athletes, pre- and postoperative care patients, individuals experiencing musculoskeletal pain, and those in need of postural and body mechanics education.

Isaac believes that the most rewarding aspect of being a physical therapist is the opportunity to be part of a community that helps injured individuals improve their quality of life. He is passionate about his work and excited to open a new facility that offers a comprehensive range of services, including orthopedic and neurological physical therapy, personal training, sports performance, pilates, and a recovery room. By bringing all of these services together under one roof, Isaac hopes to create a truly holistic approach to health and wellness.

The new Vernon Hills facility will be a state-of-the-art facility that combines cutting-edge technology with personalized care. From the spacious recovery room to the fully-equipped pilates studio, every aspect of the facility has been designed with the patient’s comfort and well-being in mind.

Isaac has always been a natural athlete, excelling in a variety of sports throughout his high school and college years. From sprinting down the track to pushing himself on a baseball and soccer field or volleyball court, he has always strived to be the best he can be.

Isaac’s love of sports has been a constant throughout his life, from his early years as a high school athlete to his ongoing commitment to personal health and wellness. When he’s not participating or taking in a game, he enjoys traveling the world and experiencing new cultures and cuisine with his family. He is especially proud of his son and daughter, who have grown into talented and accomplished young adults.
