OUR THERAPISTS
Peter Domagala - Licensed Physical Therapists, President
Peter specializes in manual therapy, sports therapy, TMJ, and spinal disorders and also performs Vestibular and Balance rehabilitation. He has completed over 1,000 postgraduate hours in lectures, demonstrations, and practical training. Peter added the Graston Technique® to his specialties in 2009 and vertigo/balance problems in 2012. Since 2014 Peter has been mastering Strain Counterstrain, an advanced manual therapy technique to effectively and non-surgically treat all kinds of neuro, muscular and joint conditions. Thanks to the unique technique he practices, Peter is often the last resort for many patients for whom other clinics or therapists were not able to help.
Peter is a huge fan of all kinds of sports and is very active himself. He is the fastest roller-skater on his street. Two years ago, he discovered in himself a desire to learn and play the violin and has been mastering his skills since then.

She completed Lymphedema training at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, she has also taken courses in Kinesio Taping, Strain Counterstrain, as well as foot problems, and is an integral part of our Work Conditioning program.
In 2015 PDR started accepting students for clinical experiences and Eva became a clinical instructor for Physical Therapist Assistant education. She supervises that program in our clinic collaborating first with Solex College and now with Harper College.
Eva is married to Peter and they have two children. Like Peter, Eva is also highly active, as she enjoys running. Not long ago she completed a half-marathon.
