The Chicago Steel hockey team and Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy are pleased to announce that they have joined forces in the mission of providing high-quality sports medicine to their athletes. Ivy Rehab will be the official physical therapy provider of the Chicago Steel for the 2019-2020 season.
Ivy Rehab’s conveniently located facilities in the western Chicago suburbs feature state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained physical therapists who will provide care to the Steel players, athletes, and fans, alike. Treatments available at these facilities include soft-tissue injuries, sports medicine, spine specialties, post-operative care, concussions treatment, and vestibular issues.
