Sports Injury Rehabilitation in Evergreen Park, IL
Get back to your sport stronger than before with one-on-one physical therapy designed for athletes. Our interdisciplinary team combines sports-specific rehab with customized strength and conditioning to help you return to peak performance with confidence.
Your Injury Shouldn't Keep You on the Sidelines
Whether you’re recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic pain, generic physical therapy won’t get you back to competing at your best. Athletes need specialized care.
Generic PT Doesn't Work for Athletes
Most clinics treat athletes the same as everyone else. You need sport-specific rehab that understands the demands of your game and prepares you for competition.
Reinjury Risk Without Proper Rehab
Returning to sport before you're truly ready increases your risk of reinjury. You need a plan that rebuilds strength, mobility, and confidence—not just pain relief.
Lost Time Means Lost Performance
Every week off the field is a setback. You need efficient, focused rehab that gets you back faster and stronger than pre-injury, so you don't fall behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about sports injury rehabilitation at Core Sport? We’ve got answers.
How do I get started with physical therapy at Core Sport?
Getting started is easy! You don’t need a physician’s referral to begin treatment. Simply call us at (773) 941-6132 or schedule a free phone consultation online. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your injury, answer your questions, and help you understand how our sports-specific rehab approach can get you back to peak performance.
Do you take my insurance?
Yes! Core Sport is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO. For patients with out-of-network insurance, we provide assistance with reimbursement and can help you understand your benefits. We also offer self-pay options for those who prefer to pay out of pocket. Contact our office team for a detailed breakdown of costs and coverage.
What should I wear to physical therapy?
Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely. Depending on your injury, you may need to expose the affected area (e.g., shorts for knee injuries, tank tops for shoulder rehab). Athletic shoes are recommended. If you’re unsure, our team can provide guidance when you schedule your first appointment.
How do I know if I'm a good fit for PT at Core Sport?
Core Sport is ideal for athletes of all ages who want to return to their sport stronger than before their injury. If you’re dealing with a sports-related injury, post-surgical rehab, or chronic pain that’s keeping you from competing at your best, our one-on-one, performance-focused approach is designed for you. Whether you’re a high school athlete, a weekend warrior, or a competitive adult, we can help.
What makes Core Sport different from other physical therapy clinics?
Unlike most PT clinics where therapists juggle multiple patients at once, Core Sport offers true one-on-one care for the entire treatment hour. Our physical therapists specialize in sports rehab and work exclusively with athletes. We also provide an interdisciplinary model that combines PT with strength and conditioning, VALD performance testing, and sport-specific training—all under one roof. Our goal isn’t just to get you out of pain; it’s to get you back to peak performance.
How long does sports injury rehabilitation take?
Recovery timelines vary depending on the type and severity of your injury, your sport, and your individual goals. During your initial evaluation, we’ll provide an estimated timeline based on your specific case. Our one-on-one approach and performance-focused training are designed to get you back faster—and stronger—than traditional PT.
