Axes Physical Therapy - St. Charles

I started using Axes Physical Therapy prior to having a total knee replacement. Due to other factors that had severely limited my physical capabilities for the past 15 years, the muscles in my legs were extremely weak. My therapist, Stephen R., took me through a regimen of exercises designed to carefully and safely strengthen the muscles in both of my legs so they weren’t unevenly strengthened and were also designed so that my knee would be prepared to receive the replacement, would be successful, and my recovery period would be fraught with little to no complications. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained the reasons for each different exercise and why it was important, and answered any and all questions I had regarding the exercises, as well as explaining the mechanics of my knee. The day before my surgery, as I was leaving the office, Stephen called out to me, “Don’t worry, Rita. You’re going to crush this!” I went into surgery feeling happy and confident about what I was about to experience! I am currently 4 weeks post op and couldn’t be happier with the results. Stephen has an innate sense of when to push me and when to pull back. He listens. He is so very kind, patient, gentle, but firm, and has a great sense of humor! His welcoming smile each time he sees me come through those doors makes me feel like me and my final outcome are of significant importance to him! Every member of the staff at Axes Physical Therapy, from those who help set up and then clean each piece of equipment after its use, to their receptionist/secretary and woman who knows every aspect of running that office, to their interns, and, finally, to all of the physical therapists, kindness and caring are of vital importance! They’ve become like family, and though I know that at my current stage of recovery, pain is an inevitable part of the journey, I look forward to my visits! Thank you, Stephen and Axes Physical Therapy!

Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere in this location, makes you feel comfortable. The therapist watch to make sure you are doing the exercises properly. They also make sure that what you are doing you are feeling in the right area, and then they actually ask how it felt, easy, hard, made that exercise irritated another area. You don't just come in get your therapy information and that's it your own your own. I've had therapy before foe myself and my son. This is the first place they are hands on.

I have been to st charles location before and they have helped me tremendously. I have now different problems from a fall and it has been difficult. The therapy is helping me and this is ongoing. I feel Im in good hands and am and will have great results. Staff is professional and very caring. Thank you. My physical therapist has a caring and professional attitude geared to my recovery.

I am a 70 yr old and not very confident in my abilities. I worked with Tommy for 21 sessions and am very satisfied with my progress, as was my doctor The facility is very clean and the trainers are ready at the scheduled time. I would highly recommend Axes Physical Therapy.

I highly recommend Axes St. Charles. The physical therapists I have had are friendly but very professional. They are quite knowledgeable and willing to try various strategies to help strengthen and heal whatever the problem may be. The facility is kept clean. I always see them wiping down the bed I have used right away as I am leaving. They also try to work around your schedule as much as they can.

I feel as if I have a partner in my recovery. Tommy always asks how I am doing before we start. He will adjust to my needs. His coaching makes it easier to push myself to get the most out of every session.

They were super quick to get me in and very flexible with scheduling and anytime I needed to move an appointment. Brendan was super helpful and thorough with questions, exercises, and explaining how each exercise would help.

Rotator cuff and bicep tendon surgery 1 year ago to repair significant tears from a fall ... enter Candace from Axes. I call her approach, 'Adaptive Therapy'. She met me where my body and mind were and adapted her approach to accommodate my bias to work hard to recover. This weekend I carried and lifted 4 tons of mulch by hand. Axes and Candace made my life whole again. 😀
