What I said above It is less about recommending NM Physical therapy and more about recommending Matthew Tan. His work with me made all the difference in four months. I went from barely able to walk to walking five miles. "

And I would only recommend Matthew. His program of exercises have really helped me. When I was first injured in December last year, I had to use a wheelchair. I am almost back to normal walking and doing my usual activities after 10 weeks. I did have a session with one other therapist and I could tell the difference in the effectiveness of the exercises. I almost switched to Rush after that appointment but I am glad I waited to see Matthew again because now I recommend him to everyone I know.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
