Hey,

MY NAME IS DR. ALEX ANDERSON, BUT YOU CAN JUST CALL ME ALEX. I AM A doctor OF PHYSICAL THERAPY, who is board certified in orthopaedic physical therapy and FELLOWSHIP-TRAINED IN ORTHOPAEDIC MANUAL PHYSICAL THERAPy. I am dry needling certified and also treat women’s health conditions.

I am from the D.C. area originally and will always call Maryland home. I also have a special place in my heart for California, as that is where I received my PT education. My Fellowship program at the University of Illinois at Chicago brought me to the midwest, which is where I am currently practicing.

My passion for starting The Physical Therapy Academy is to treat pain and movement dysfunction. I believe we are all meant to move and achieve pain free, efficient movement. This is my goal for all my clients. My knowledge of pain science, motor control, and exercise physiology allows me to incorporate techniques to retrain faulty movement.

In addition to orthopaedics, I also treat a variety of women’s health conditions. Believe it or not, the pelvic floor also consists of muscle, which needs to be strong and functional, just like the rest of the body.

By providing one-on-one, personalized care, I have discovered that better movement is possible for anyone willing to take on the challenge. The best part is that by working together, we can achieve this through thorough, efficient, and effective collaboration. So let’s get in touch and get you on your way to better movement.

I’M LYNN. I GREW UP DANCING AND SPENT 15 YEARS IN TECH. BOTH MAKE ME A BETTER PHYSICAL THERAPIST.

Hi, my name is Dr. Lynn Goh, and I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Northwestern University. I treat a wide variety of orthopedic conditions, and also specialize in vestibular and concussion rehabilitation. I’m particularly passionate about helping patients navigate recovery from dizziness, vertigo, headaches, and imbalance issues.

I moved to Chicago from Los Angeles where I grew up, and it took me two career paths to get me to PT. I trained in dance from an early age and had every intent to pursue it, then ended up spending over 15 years as a software engineer in the tech industry. It all adds up. I love being a PT because it marries my analytical skills with my lifelong passion for movement and physical wellness.

I love figuring out why you are experiencing pain or how movement patterns can affect it.  I combine my analytical background with evidence-based movement science to look beyond surface symptoms and find the root cause of your movement dysfunction. I also believe in providing one-on-one care to focus on truly collaborating with you. My goal is to find a treatment plan built around your life. Whether you want to get back to your favorite sport or stand for long stretches preparing Thanksgiving dinner, I work with you on a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Ultimately, I want to get you back to doing what you love, and to provide the education, support, and tools you need for lifelong health and physical wellness.

My name is Chris Hagan — and yes, I’m one of those people who genuinely loves both the clinic and the classroom.

I’m a licensed physical therapist and Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy at Midwestern University, where I also serve as a mentor for physical therapy residency and fellowship programs. I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Health Sciences, which allows me to stay deeply connected to both research and clinical practice.

I’m a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT). My clinical interests include orthopaedic and sports rehabilitation, manual therapy and joint mobilization, chronic spine pain, and temporomandibular disorders. At the core of my work is a passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and understand their bodies more clearly.

I believe physical therapy works best when patients feel informed, supported, and empowered. My approach blends evidence-based care with hands-on treatment and thoughtful education, so patients not only recover—but feel confident returning to the activities they enjoy.

When I’m not teaching or treating, I enjoy continuing to learn, mentor, and collaborate with others in the profession. I’m passionate about shaping both strong outcomes for my patients and the future of physical therapy as a whole.

Let’s get to work.
