The Challenges of ACL Recovery
Worried About Re-Injury
You've been cleared to play, but you don't feel confident. The fear of re-tearing your ACL is holding you back from performing at your best.
Generic PT Isn't Enough
Your typical physical therapy clinic treats multiple patients at once. You need individualized, sport-specific rehab that prepares you for the demands of your game.

Time off means lost strength, speed, and agility. You need a program that gets you back on the field better than you were before the injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Physical Therapy at Core Sport? We’ve got answers.
How do I get started with ACL rehab at Core Sport?
Illinois is a direct access state, which means you do not need a physician’s referral to get started. Simply give us a call at 773-941-6132, and we can set up your initial evaluation. We’ll assess your current mobility, strength, and functional movement to create a personalized ACL rehab plan.
Do you take my insurance for ACL rehab?
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO. We also offer self-pay rates and can help you look into out-of-network reimbursement rates for other insurance plans. Give us a call at 773-941-6132, and we’ll walk you through your options.
