Du Page Physical Therapy

Anita is a wonderful Physical Therapist. She is so knowledgeable and like no other! She has been the only one to lead me in the right direction for identifying what has been causing my back pain. I’ve been through it all...chiropractors, other physical therapists, orthopedics,etc. Nothing in the past worked. Anita has taught me how to use and move my body, as well as getting me custom orthotics to improve my stance. Highly recommend!!!

I was in a bad car accident that left me in constant pain. I saw several physical therapists over the course of two years. They barely put a dent in my pain and limited movement. Then I found Anita. She was able to make a big difference. My pain came way down and I was able to move much more freely. That was twenty four years ago. This last year I was under a lot of stress with dying parents and much of my pain returned along with new issues. Luckily, Anita was still around. She knew exactly what to do. For a second time she rescued me and returned me back to health, to a livable life. You can’t put a price on a gift like that. She is extraordinary.

Anita Panagiotis has changed my life. I am only 30 years old, but have lived with chronic pain for the past 15 years. Neck, shoulder, back, and foot pain. I have gone to a chiropractor on and off since I was 15 years old, but no one has ever been able to help me. My pain had gotten so bad that I couldn’t even clean my house or go for a walk without being in severe pain. I believe my pain stems from doing gymnastics as a young child, and riding, jumping, and falling off horses for 15 years after that. I also have an underbite, which we believe is the root cause of my neck pain, since this all started after getting my braces off. Anita took proper impressions of my feet (holding them in the neutral position) for custom orthotics (which were made by a pediatrist) that have completely changed my life. Within only a couple days of wearing the orthotics in my running shoes all day, I don’t have pain in my feet anymore. I can also clean my house without back pain. It’s unbelievable. Anita has done cranial work on my head, in addition to deep tissue massage on my neck and shoulders, which has significantly improved my neck and shoulder pain/tension. I am continually blown away by her work, and also her understanding of the body. She is an expert in her field and thinks outside the box. I am forever grateful for the work she has done with me.

Anita changed my life! After 11 knee surgeries, I am moving Pain free!! I haven't been able to run for the past two years. Within a few weeks, Anita got me running pain free!! The philosophy behind PRI is absolutely brilliant and Anita is a true professional. I am a very active person that's been struggling with imbalances for years. Anita applied her PRI knowledge (after seeing countless doctors of all kinds the past 2 years for many different issues and pain throughout my body) and I literally have felt my body shifting and falling back into place where it belongs. It's truly amazing. THANK YOU ANITA!!

I have been experiencing low back pain for about 4 years. I have visited physical therapists, orthopedic doctors, pain management specialists and chiropractors and nothing seemed to help. At the beginning of 2015 the problems just escalated. I began to experience very painful spasms that literally landed me in the hospital 5 times from February to May. I found out about Anita at DuPage Physical Therapy because my son was referred to her by his orthopedic doctor for a sports injury. After a scary misdiagnosis, several trips to the E.R., hospital stays, multiple consults with doctors, specialists and inept treatment at a "world renowned" physical therapy hospital, I was amazed that she figured out what was wrong with me during my first visit. Within about 2 weeks, I was feeling and moving better. After about a month, she completed her therapy. I continue with my daily breathing and physical exercises that she assigned. I can bend and move again without experiencing spasms. My quality of life is getting back to what it used to be after being bedridden for several months. If you need a physical therapist, I recommend Anita! Not all physical therapists are alike or practice the same techniques. Anita is the best! She literally gave me my life back.
