Chicago Recovery Room/Impact Physical Therapy
Affordable Access to High Quality Physical Therapy
A Blessons for Women-Run Business Story
Liz Yerly, founder of the Chicago Recovery Room

MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY MASTERS DEGREE IN PHYSICAL THERAPY '04
In her practice as a physical therapist, Liz noticed many high performing athletes developing muscle soreness and other overuse injuries.
These injuries? Many of them could have been prevented with proper training or eliminated with good recovery techniques. This motivated Liz to found the Chicago Recovery Room (CRR), a center that, partnering with Impact Physical Therapy, provides state of the art recovery methods in addition to athletic training spaces.
The CRR and Impact Physical Therapy has highly skilled clinicians at the ready, their mission being to help you stay active, healthy, and happy. Throughout the cycle - from injury, to rehabilitation, to wellness, to prevention, to maintenance, to recovery, to fitness - clients receive the highest level of care to help their body feel the best it can be. With their hands-on therapy treatment, they strive to help their clients recover as quickly as possible so they can get back to their favorite activities as quickly as possible.
I came to realize that people needed to be treated during all stages of their life from prevention to acute rehab to maintenance and wellness. By offering care along a continuum, we feel we can treat the entire person and not just the injured patient.
— Liz
With her business, Liz aims to provide athletes all levels of affordable access to cutting-edge technology and treatment options to help speed up recovery, prevent injuries, and continue to train like a pro! With physical therapy, recovery/wellness services, and fitness programming on the list of services offered, the CRR helps people at any stage of their physical fitness journey.
What Makes Her Business Unique
The Chicago Recovery Room aims to be a resource to not just athletes, but also anyone recovering from a physical injury through all stages of their care. Liz created the center to provide not just recovery services, but also preventative maintenance, and help members enhance their physical performance.
Why She Loves What She Does
The biggest struggles in the healthcare arena are declining insurance coverage and reimbursement rates, but their philosophy of offering a multitude of cash rate options gives people options when it comes to their healthcare dollars. Not only does her business and her work allow patients and athletes to heal their injuries, it also introduces preventative practices and skill sets that when used can improve one’s overall wellness, improving the health of athletes and clients from start to finish, while also remaining affordable.
