We’re running for beer on Global Running Day. 🍺

Free Body PT is proud to sponsor the Goose Island 5K Fun Run, Wednesday, June 3 at Goose Island Beer Co, part of the Illinois Brewery Running Series.

Whether you’re training for your first race or your fifteenth, your body deserves support that actually keeps you out there. That’s why we do what we do: 45-minute one-on-one sessions, root-cause treatment, and a team that stays curious about your body.

Come find us after the race to meet our team, get a movement screen and free give aways!

Tag a running partner and drop a 🍺 if you’re coming.

Meet Annalesa Maggio — the newest addition to the Free Body team. 🖤

Annalesa came up through Northwestern’s DPT program, then went straight into a residency at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush — spending her first year out of school working alongside orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, and physical therapists on some of the most complex cases in the city. She’s currently working toward her Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification, a credential held by fewer than 10% of practicing PTs.

Her clinical passion? Helping people understand how their body actually moves — not just fixing what’s hurting, but building the kind of strength and body awareness that keeps you out of trouble long term.

Outside the clinic, she’s logging miles in the pool, under a barbell, or on a pilates reformer. Summer weekends? You’ll find her on the 606 or biking the lakefront. Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, she knows this city, loves this city, and is genuinely thrilled to be treating patients here.

She’s also, reportedly, on a very serious mission to find the best coffee shop in Chicagoland. Recommendations welcome.

Welcome to Free Body, Annalesa. We’re glad you’re here.

A PT about to graduate with her doctorate stopped at our table at the Rosalind Franklin career fair. She read our model and said:

“This is what I’ve been looking for. How do I not know about this?”

She wasn’t alone. We were the only independent clinic there.
And her question stuck with us — because it’s not just about new grads. What about the PTs already out there? Five, ten, fifteen years into a system that kept getting faster, more crowded, more administrative. Who remember why they got into this and can feel how far the work has drifted.

You’re not imagining it.

At Free Body, we built something different. Fellowship-trained leadership. Fellowship sponsorship offered to every clinician we hire. And every PT — regardless of experience — completes our six-month one-on-one mentorship program.
45-minute sessions. One patient at a time. No techs. No shortcuts.

If you’ve been inside the system long enough to miss what you used to love about this work — we’re hiring.

New grads welcome. Experienced PTs encouraged. Bilingual candidates especially needed.

Humboldt Park. Second location opening in Belmont Cragin.
