As the year winds down, now is the perfect time to schedule your physical therapy or sports recovery session before your insurance deductible resets.

If you’ve already met your deductible or are close to doing so, your out-of-pocket costs could be minimal — or even fully covered.

Take advantage of your remaining 2025 benefits to continue your care, address nagging pain, and start the new year feeling your best!

Review our Frequently Asked Questions and contact IMPACT Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery to book your end-of-year appointments while openings last!

Did you know that men can experience diastasis recti — the same “ab separation” often linked to postpartum women? It’s more common than you think and can cause symptoms like persistent belly bulging, lower back pain, and poor core stability.

At IMPACT Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery, with convenient Chicagoland locations, our pelvic health specialists help men identify and treat diastasis recti through targeted core rehab and strengthening programs.

Learn how this condition develops, how to check for it, and the most effective, evidence-based ways to restore your core strength — no surgery required.

Read the full blog to learn the signs, causes, and recovery solutions for diastasis recti in men.

November 19 is International Men's Day

At IMPACT Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery, we provide care for both men and women struggling with diastasis recti or any other pelvic floor dysfunction.

We will share the poll results in the next month's newsletter!

1. Our front desks and PT's will do our best to work around your schedule. And if you need to leave your appointment early, just let us know ahead of time!
2. Our Front Office Coordinators will be able to verify your insurance benefits and provide you with a quote of benefits. However, we strongly encourage you to also confirm details with your insurance directly.
