What Athletes Are Saying About Core Sport
Core Sport holds 5-star Google ratings across both locations. Read what athletes and active adults in Evergreen Park and surrounding communities are saying about their care and outcomes.
Core Sport offers outstanding physical therapy, and Bobby Waddell is a prime example of the level of care they provide.
His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to patient success were instrumental in my recovery from a calf tear. Under his guidance, I progressed from being unable to walk to running and squatting again with confidence. Bobby’s ability to tailor treatment plans and make smart, targeted adjustments throughout the rehab process truly sets him apart.
If you’re looking for a place that delivers real results with knowledgeable and dedicated professionals, Core Sport is an excellent choice.
Had a foot injury and knew I was going to core sport. First thing I noticed about it was everybody was very friendly and always talked to me. Right away I felt very supported and welcomed. I built a relationship with pretty much all the therapists because of this.
I would 100% recommend going to core sport whether you have a injury or are going there to become the best athlete you can
My 14 year old son had knee surgery last summer and he went to Bobby and his PT team for recovery. I can’t say enough good things about how knowledgeable the Physical Therapists and trainers are at Core Sport. My son grew to trust Bobby very quickly because Bobby listened to him and demonstrated how he had my son’s best interest in mind every visit. I have an incredible amount of confidence in every employee at Core Sport because I’ve seen firsthand how professional they are, and how much they care about each athlete they train. As a bonus, scheduling is a breeze with Erin! She is very detail oriented and does her best to accommodate everyone, in spite of each client’s inevitable busy schedule.My son enjoys going to Core Sport for his PT and continued recovery training because the atmosphere is fun, positive, motivating, and super supportive! I highly recommend Core Sport!
ACL rehabGreat stuff!
I’ve been working with a few of the PTs here for about a year and a half. It started with a foundational rebuild of my hips to help relieve knee pain. Ultimately, a knee replacement turned out to be unavoidable—I tried just about everything under the sun in addition to PT.
After one week with my surgeon’s recommended physical therapist I left there and walked right back into Core—and I’m glad I did. The team here has an amazing ability to find that fine line between discomfort and progress, and then push you through it safely and intelligently.
When I tell them I’m turning 43 this year and fully intend to deadlift over 400 pounds again, no one scoffs. Instead, they have a clear plan to get me there. It’s a process and it takes patience, but they know how to progress you the right way.
I’ve been to several PT offices over the years, and this is the only one that truly takes an individualized, personal approach to recovery. Most others felt generic and one-size-fits-all. The PTs at Core take the time to find exactly what’s holding you back—and then help you get past it.
I couldn’t recommend this place more.
Core Sport is THE PLACE for ALL your physical therapy and wellness needs! I started going for neck pain and continued through my knee surgery. Each visit I’m greeted with a warm welcome by numerous employers. The staff at the front desk are welcoming, personable, and quick to respond to scheduling requests. The therapists and trainers are knowledgeable, kind and attentive.
The therapists devote a full hour to each patient and are trained in a variety of areas- pre and post surgery, sports injuries, dry needling-just to name a few. They value your time and are committed to making you stronger.
Core Sport is a facility that you can continue to train at beyond your prescribed therapy hours. This sets them apart from the typical chain therapy centers. Their commitment to life long health, strength, functionality and overall well-being is what makes them unique. Core Sport is quickly becoming a neighborhood stable and I’d highly recommend scheduling a visit!
Look no further!
CoreSport is the perfect blend of high-quality care and genuine human warmth. Working with Alice has been incredibly enriching. I’ve experienced real healing in my body, and our sessions are always engaging and genuinely fun.
Alice is incredibly knowledgeable, and I’ve learned so much about my own body through our work together. Every time I walked in with an injury or concern, I walked out feeling better. Her energy is infectious, and you can tell she truly listens and cares. I truly feel so blessed to have her as my provider, and I believe anyone who has had the privilege of working with her would agree.
The atmosphere at CoreSport is just as impressive. The whole team is made up of professionals who are passionate, attentive, and deeply dedicated to every patient who walks through the door.
You can’t go wrong trusting CoreSport for any rehabilitation needs.
We’ve had such an incredible experience at Core Sport, especially working with Nick. My son sees him for strength and conditioning and the progress has been amazing. He’s gotten so much stronger, more coordinated, and more confident in his movements.
Nick is truly gifted at what he does, he knows how to push kids in the right way while keeping them motivated and engaged. My son really vibes with him and genuinely looks forward to going every week, which says everything. It’s not easy to find someone who is both highly skilled and great with kids, but Nick is exactly that.
We’re so grateful for the impact he’s had and highly recommend Core Sport to anyone looking for top-tier sports rehab and training.
Nick has done an excellent job as my rehab specialist—knowledgeable, attentive, and has really helped me progress. I know he spends a lot of time planning before every appointment. He will be your biggest fan and hype man, he wants the best out of his patients! Erin and Kaley at the front desk are always friendly and welcoming, and Alice and CJ are fantastic physical therapists; their guidance and exercises got me back on track quickly.
The Core Sport team are great at what they do, and they’re great people too!
We’ve had an excellent experience at Core Physical Therapy. Erin at the front desk deserves a huge shout out. She thoroughly explains benefits, is extremely knowledgeable, and always returns calls promptly, which makes the entire process so much easier.
CJ was wonderful to work with from the start. He helped address a gait issue my son was experiencing and was incredibly thorough with his evaluations. His knowledge and attention to detail really stood out. My son has also enjoyed working with Nick D, who has been just as great.
Since working with the team at Core, my son’s overall athletic performance has noticeably improved. The staff has built a great connection with him, and he genuinely looks forward to his sessions each week. We are very grateful for the care, professionalism, and positive environment at Core and highly recommend them.
I can’t say enough about the team at Core! The office staff are organized and welcoming, the PT team is incredible! I’ve been coming for about 9 months and have worked with the whole team! The progress has been consistent, they push me to get stronger and challenge my limits each time! Their one on one approach to PT was a big draw for me and it has paid off!
I’ll also add that my 13yo son really enjoys their group classes for strength and conditioning! I love that Core is committed to helping these young athletes learn howTo train and prevent injuries!
I have had an excellent experience at Core Sport and Physical Therapy over the 4 years I have been with them!
The front desk staff never fails to greet each patient with a smile and help me with all of my scheduling needs.
Every therapist at Core Sport is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. Each member of the Core Sport team, even the ones that I do not personally work with, make an effort to get to know me personally. Working with Alice has been a privilege. Her enthusiasm and energy is infectious. She always makes an effort to make each one of my concerns heard.
I highly recommend Core Sport for any strength training or physical therapy needs!
Back in October our son dislocated his knee cap and needed surgery. He was told it would take him 6-9 months to recover. This news shattered him knowing he would most likely not be about to play baseball this year. He never gave up. He followed every rule, sometimes to closely. He pushed himself at PT about 3-4 days a week. He is now only 4.5 months post surgery and he is back on the field doing what he loves the most.
Our family is so grateful for the dedicated people who work at Core Sport. They have been there with him every step of the way.
Both my son & daughter are training with Chris Seropian. He has been instrumentalin increasing their speed, strength & reactive jumping! Many thanks to Chris & the sports performance program at Core Sport & Physical Therapy!!
Our experience with Core Sport has been incredible. Nick’s care stood out right from the beginning, and both he and Bobby have a real understanding of what my son's going through, along with a level of expertise that really stands out. That immediately built a strong sense of trust and connection for our family.
Together, they’ve been a constant source of support, encouragement, and belief. They’ve created an environment where he feels completely comfortable and looks forward to seeing everyone there.
What sets them apart is the value they bring beyond just the physical side of recovery. They invest in the whole person — building confidence, providing motivation on the hard days, and celebrating progress every step of the way. They’ve gone above what we ever expected, and it’s made a real difference for our son.
We are truly grateful for Nick, Bobby, CJ, Erin, and the entire team.
Awesome staff and amazing facility!
You immediately feel welcome and at home as you are greeted by and amazing, enthusiastic staff! The facility also has everything you need to become stronger and reach your peak performance. Highly recommend stopping in!
The staff at Core Sport and Core Fitness far exceeded my expectations. From prompt scheduling, prompt return calls and emails to their incredible “bedside manner” when helping rehab my teen, they are the best around! Bobby, our physical therapist was exceptional helping my teenage son navigate a debilitating injury, while inspiring him to use his heeling time to work on himself. We were able to throw just about any question at Bobby and knew he would not only answer it, but explain and show us. He is incredibly patient and thorough. Thank you!!!
Core Sport has given me an amazing experience throughout physical therepy. I felt very welcomed and in good hands. They provided me great excercises to continue at home which aided my progress! I would highly recommend Core Sport!

Core Sport has been amazing for my daughter as she recovers from a sport injury. She loves seeing Alice! Shoutout to the front office staff Erin and Kaley who make scheduling so easy!
I cannot say enough great things about Core Sport! From Kaley, Erin and Brittney at the front to all of the trainers I have worked with, every single one of them, has been AMAZING! I started at Core about 1 year ago for running injury. They worked hard to uncover the source of my issues and pushed me through managing the injury with approproate stretching and workouts as well as the individual and amazing therapies they offer, dry needling, cupping, compression... all of it aided in my recovery. I was able to get back to racing with in a few short weeks after working with the trainers at Core.

Core sport has been great helping to develop my young athlete’s strength, speed and overall conditioning. Over the years she’s done group classes, small group and individual sessions and loved each trainer she has worked with! The various options for training make it easy to fit in sessions around a busy school and sports schedule. Most importantly she is learning proper training techniques and a love of exercise.
I would give up my cell phone before I gave up this place. Changed my life. Could barely get up from the floor when I started (I’m 76). But now, 2 years later, I’m a big show off (to myself mostly) no need to sit to pull on pants or socks. I bound up and down stairs. And, I look soooo much better
We’re lucky to have Core Sport in our neighborhood! Every session leaves you feeling better, the energy is upbeat, staff greet you by name, and the facility has innovative equipment for PT, group, or personal training.

I could not say enough good things about everybody that works there.
