I’ve unfortunately needed Unbroken twice in the past year. Once for a nagging shoulder injury and the other time for a torn meniscus in my knee. Martin has been an enormous help along the way and has pushed me to come back stronger than before and return to athletics. I can’t recommend him enough.

I work with Fred and Natalie, to get my Achilles back to normal, they are so helpful, kind, provide nice variety of exercises, I think the massage to the tendon is so helpful, they adjusted their schedule to fit my schedule, I am so thankful. I wish I found them earlier. Thank you Unbroken Rehab!

I genuinely cannot recommend Kimberlyn enough.For 10+ years, I've dealt with pain that no one could seem to figure out. Every appointment ended the same way: "I'm not really sure what's going on." "I've never seen this before." After hearing that over and over, I kind of accepted that maybe I'd just have to live with it.When I called this practice, the owner told me, "I want you to see Kimberlyn. She's my right-hand woman. She can help you." I figured... what do I have to lose? So I drove an hour to see her.Within the first assessment, she was pointing out things that no one had ever mentioned before. I literally started tearing up. She asked me what was wrong, and I told her, "I think I'm just hopeful for the first time in a really long time."She looked at me and said, "I can help you."I've been seeing Kimberlyn for about 6?ish months now, and she has completely changed the trajectory of my recovery. I've made so much progress, but more importantly, I finally feel like I understand what's going on with my body and have someone who knows how to treat it.She's incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and takes the time to connect the dots instead of just treating symptoms. Every session I leave learning something new, and every month I continue to get better.If you're someone who's been told, "We don't know what's wrong," or you've been living with pain for a long time, please go see Kimberlyn. Driving an hour to work with her has been one of the best decisions I've made, and I'd do it again without hesitation.

Dr Kimberlyn is the best. She has a vast knowledge of the body and related exercises. All of my sessions have felt like personal training and she is great at explaining why we do each exercise. I would highly recommend.

2026-07-13T16:59:18.889Z

Amazing staff and facility. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get back to their athletic peak. The knowledge of sports related injuries, mobility, and athletic performance is unmatched.

Wonderful experience, PT is not always easy, being unsure what to expect, Kimberlyn made that easy! She is very helpful and explains everything and makes sure you’re healing properly. She is very hands on and communicates with me, is always there when questions and concerns come up. She came highly recommended by a friend who also had a great experience . I will be recommending her and Unbroken.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I can’t recommend Kimberlyn enough! I struggled with shoulder and arm pain for a long time and tried massages, dry needling, cupping, and even chiropractic care. While those treatments gave me temporary relief, I still didn’t have the strength or confidence to return to work or get back in the gym.Kimberlyn took a completely different approach. She created a personalized plan, focused on rebuilding my strength, and encouraged me every step of the way. Thanks to her, I’m finally lifting weights again, my shoulder feels stronger every day, and I’ve been able to get back to doing the things I love.If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress and knows how to help you regain your strength, I highly recommend Kimberlyn. I’m so grateful for everything she’s done to help me reach my goals.

Dr. Kimberlyn is great!!

2026-07-08T20:43:16.894Z

I’ve been neglecting my rehab and recovery so I’m Thankful to have found Dr Kimberlyn. She helps keep my body feeling good for my active lifestyle. Every visit I have left feeling better and better. She’s corrected my form, educated me on my body, and is super personable and friendly.

Recently finished going through PT at Unbroken and am very pleased. I have gone to many other Physical Therapy places in the past and must say this is one of the better ones by far. From their equipment, techniques, and one on one sessions, they are definitely a cut above the rest. Will was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!!

2026-07-07T14:02:46.742Z

Unbroken is great, compared to other PT businesses, because you get an entire hour of one-on-one time with a PT. You don't get handed off to an assistant after a 5 minute meeting with the PT. You're not sharing your hour with other clients. The PT's focus is entirely on you and getting you better.Unbroken is also great because they don't baby you. You're there to get better / move better / be in less pain. You have to put in work to get there. I've gone to PT places in the past that had me doing such a light / easy plan that I didn't get better. I deliberately looked for a PT place that catered to athletes because I wanted to be challenged and actually work on getting better. I wanted to get back to doing activities that I stopped doing because of pain. My PT, Kimberlyn, worked with me to work towards my goals -- our plan was designed to get me back to working out the way I did before the pain.Speaking of Kimberlyn - she is an amazing PT. I absolutely loved that she explained everything to me - it's so much easier to follow a plan when you know the reason behind the steps you're taking. Every session started with asking how the past week had been, what activities caused pain, what kind of pain, etc. - Kimberlyn would actually listen to me, explain why pain might be happening doing a certain activity, and we'd work on strengthening areas to support that activity. And she'd explain how the workouts in the session would help towards reducing pain or supporting the body in the area causing pain.Sessions were a workout, in a good way. I've felt sore in muscles I didn't even know existed. And I learned what areas I've severely underdeveloped in my own workouts prior to PT.I also learned I had baaad form in some areas. Like, apparently you can run wrong? Who knew?! Not me, before Kimberlyn! I now try to pay closer attention to form, and wouldn't you know, you have less pain when doing things correctly! Crazy concept, I know.Anyway, Unbroken was great and Kimberlyn was amazing. You should go here if you need a PT. Totally worth it.

I have been to very good physical therapists for management of my knee osteoarthritis in the past, but felt something was missing and I wanted excellent PT for the next round of appointments. I chose Unbroken Rehab and Athletics and it is one of the best decisions I have made regarding my health. Dr. Kimberlyn is thorough, knowledgeable, collaborative, professional and personable. I am doing so much more than clamshells and other typical exercises I have come to expect. The facility on Avondale Avenue (Park Ridge/Edison Park) is beautiful and I am already reaping the benefits of her well-grounded approach to my issues. Cannot say enough about what a great practice this is!

2026-06-30T02:00:25.187Z

I’ve used a prior PT company for many years. This one was recommended to me. I was a bit skeptical about changing but what a great experience it’s been. The staff is very engaging, knowledgeable, and caring about your health. Plus, they spend the entire with you and you’re not passed off to an aide.

2026-06-26T19:08:44.763Z

i was traumatized by an outside heel hook in my second match at adcc atlanta. i could not extend my leg. by my eight match i couldn’t walk at all without help and needed assistance to limp out of the venue. dr. william gates is a high level genius who reviewed the mri and notes from my orthopedic surgeon, developed a plan and used his physio healing powers to restore confidence and make me feel bulletproof before a competition just two weeks later.if you get broken in competition or training and you are even remotely near him you must work with him. he will not waste your time and will make you move actual weight to get you back training fast and fix you.

2026-05-30T14:59:04.871Z

Best physical therapy sessions I ever had. It’s physical therapy by athletes for athletes. Doc Will Gates was awesome. Doc Gates helped me feel better and helped me gain confidence in knowing my current limits for compound exercises.

2026-05-27T19:26:52.751Z

Fantastic facility and staff! Kimbo led me thru pre and post knee replacement. Doing pre knee replacement rehab set me up for faster and more successful post surgery recovery! Highly recommend!

After injuring my shoulder from a fall on ice I was referred to Will Gates, DPT. by a Jiu Jitsu teammate. I went 4-6 weeks without physical activity prior to working with Will and was still suffering from symptoms after attempting to return to training. Being a Jiu Jitsu practitioner himself, Will was able to tailor an assessment and treatment plan that was specific to my goals. He began the process by listening and asking questions, in addition to a thorough physical examination of my shoulder mechanics, mobility, and understanding what triggered pain and discomfort. I worked with Will for four weeks at Unbroken Rehabilitation where he provided targeted exercises, clear explanation behind the purpose of the exercises, and answered all of my questions along the way. Outside of weekly physical therapy sessions, Will provided a home exercise program that helped address daily symptoms and a supplemental bi-weekly workout. I highly recommend working with Will Gates for anyone seeking a knowledgeable professional that understands the complexities of the human muscular and skeletal systems and what athletes demand of them. The work Will put in to helping me resulted in being able to return to training without symptoms and the knowledge to continue my progress and build confidence in my shoulder strength and stability.

I’m 58 yrs old, very active and had to undergo a full knee replacement. The team at unbroken were incredible! Dr. Will Gates listened to my goals, created a program and guided me through it. This is not your cookie cutter rehab in which you talk to a doctor for 5 min then get pawned off to someone else. Your therapist is dedicated to you during your session and not bouncing around with other patients at the same time.Will had me at my goal within 3 months post surgery! I could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend The Unbroken team! If you want results… Unbroken Rehab and Athletics will be the team you want.

I went in for rotator cuff discomfort, and within a few weeks I was able to get back to lifting. William Gates was amazing—great conversations and an extraordinary level of care throughout the process.After trying some larger PT clinics, this place was exactly what I was looking for. My goal was to get back to lifting and staying active, and they helped me do just that.They have a clean, welcoming gym and even partner with a local gym if additional equipment is ever needed (which wasn’t necessary in my case).If you’re an athlete looking to stay active but dealing with discomfort, I highly recommend stopping by—they’ll help you get back to performing at your best.

Due to my hip issues, I've been to several physical therapy places around the far northwest side of Chicago. Usually, the therapists work with 2 other people simultaneously. Not at Unbroken! It is one-on-one which right away impressed me.My physical therapist, Kimberlyn (Kimbo) Gadawski, was the best therapist I've ever worked with. She asked good questions, and was thoughtful about her approach so I felt the exercises and interventions were highly personalized. I think the fact that she's also struggled with pain management makes her particularly insightful about how to manage and treat it. I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to her if you have any issues that require a thoughtful approach with long term benefits.

2026-04-04T15:53:50.834Z

Unbroken Rehab has given me the opportunity to continue my sport PAIN FREE! I am a professional track and field athlete, specifically the shot put. After dealing with sport specific injuries I was pointed in the direction of Dr. Kimberlyn Gadawski at Unbroken Rehab. Dr. Kimberlyn’s programming pushed me to be a better athlete physically and mentally. She doesn’t just put a bandaid on issues. Dr. Kimberlyn ensures that you know what’s going on with your body, how we can approach the issue, implements a plan that is sport specific and makes its understandable so even a meat head like myself can follow LONG TERM. We have been working together for almost a year and I can proudly say that I am getting stronger and more resilient.Thank you to Dr. Kimberlyn Gadawski and the unbroken rehab team for your support!

Dr Martin & Dr Will are nothing short of miracle workers. My son tore his UCL in December. We came to Unbroken in January to start PT. I was skeptical when my son set a goal of being ready to compete again by March 2nd. Dr Will & Dr Martin tailored his PT to wrestling, and did everything possible to meet his goal and avoid surgery. I am so incredibly happy we found Unbroken. It is quite possible that my son returned stronger after such a devastating injury. Not only was he able to compete March 2nd, but he advanced to Frosh/Soph State the next week, and placed this past weekend! Thank you!

Injured my back doing BJJ and worked with Will Gates, DPT. Will is also a BJJ practitioner, so the thought of working with him was very appealing from the start — and he did not disappoint. His therapy plan was targeted, efficient, and effective. His understanding of the body and movement is excellent, and he pushed me in ways I didn’t know were possible. I worked with him for four weeks and made a successful return, feeling stronger than before. Very happy with how my recovery went and feel great about the knowledge and exercises I’ve learned from Will. This was top-notch experience and I highly recommend working with Will for any of your PT needs.

I would highly recommend working with Unbroken Rehab and Athletics. After pushing through workout after workout with persistent shoulder pain, I finally decided it was time to address the issue instead of working around it and I’m so glad I did.I worked with Fred, who was professional, knowledgeable and truly an active listener. As a CrossFitter, it was important to me to find someone who understood the demands of my training and could help me safely rebuild strength without pulling me away from movements I love. Fred not only understood CrossFit, but he thoughtfully incorporated CrossFit- specific movements into my rehab program which made the process relevant and motivating.Thanks to Unbroken, I was able to get back on track with my workouts and achieve a full recovery. If you’re dealing with an injury and want a team that understands your goals and meets you where you are, I can’t recommend them enough!

2026-02-05T17:14:19.861Z

They helped mend my injuries. I'm back up to par and have a great supply of exercises I can do in the future to maintain and prevent any further injuries.

2026-01-01T15:41:15.549Z

I worked with Fred over the span of several months, recovering from surgery - I’m convinced he and his team are the best in the business - they spend 100% of the session with you - employ active listening and are so motivated to be the difference in their clients rehab. So glad I found Unbroken!

2025-12-20T00:59:40.058Z

Dr. Martin and the whole Unbroken staff are miracle workers.

2025-11-27T00:59:29.932Z

I have used Unbroken twice this year for sports related injuries and they have been invaluable for my recovery and continued performance after our sessions. Dr. Kimberlyn and the team do an amazing job of assessing your injury and your body as a whole in order to properly address the problem and start the healing process. They have a wealth of tools and techniques including dry needling, cupping and compression boots that make the road to recovery quick and easy.

2025-11-10T20:58:21.675Z

I can’t believe how well I responded to physical training at Unbroken. Will my PT wasgreat, place has great equipment and super clean.

2025-11-07T18:48:42.997Z

I came to Unbroken Rehab and Athletics after popping my gastrocnemius while training for Hyrox last year. I met the Unbroken team at our gym after they did an event talking about injury prevention. I called them the same day of my injury and they got me in right after seeing a doc hours later. They got me back to walking, then running within 3 months allowing me to compete just in time. Unbroken Rehab is the spot for all athletes, anyone who trains, competes or likes to move.I highly recommend them to anyone who needs support getting back to feeling good and back to what they love. Recently, they've been treating my arm that was injured during wall balls.I am deeply appreciative of their unwavering support and profound expertise in the realm of athletics. Thanks, Unbroken!
