Expert-led Physical Therapy for Pain, Injuries, & Prevention

Skillz Physical Therapy

At Skillz Physical Therapy, we believe that your body deserves dedicated care, so we deliver expert-led treatment focused only on you each session. No guesswork, no waiting for the therapist to finish with two other patients. Just your body, your goals, and a clinician whose full attention is dedicated to your recovery. We deliver precision treatments backed by science, experience, and advanced recovery techniques. Our clinic combines advanced modalities with deep clinical insight. Depending on your unique case, your treatment plan may include: • Dry Needling – releases stubborn muscle knots and trigger points that traditional massage can’t reach. • Extracorporeal ShockWave Therapy – uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow and tissue repair, helping tendon injuries heal faster. • Cupping and Laser Therapy – support circulation and speed up cellular recovery for post-surgery or chronic pain patients. Rediscover What It Feels Like to Be You Again. Whether you’re struggling with lower back pain, knee pain, TMJ, Vertigo, shoulder &amp; neck pain, or post-surgery treatment, Skillz Physical Therapy provides a space where your healing is personal, not procedural. We understand that pain isn’t just physical; it’s emotional. It’s the frustration of missing your morning walk, cutting short your bike rides along the Skokie path, or feeling like you can’t keep up with the people and activities that make you, you. At Skillz, you are more than a slot on a crowded schedule. We focused on one goal, helping you feel like yourself again.

Two Artists Explore the Quiet Power of Nature in “Voices in Stillness” Exhibition at A.I.R. Gallery

Glencoe, IL — April 2026 — Local artists Diane Rakocy of Wilmette and Maria Sundqvist of Winnetka will present a collaborative exhibition titled “Voices in Stillness” exploring what&nbsp;happens when we slow down and listen to nature’s quiet cues. The show will be on view at&nbsp;A.I.R.&nbsp;Studio &amp; Gallery from April 17 through May 10, 2026, with an opening reception on Saturday, April 25 from 5–8 PM.




The exhibition brings together two distinct styles united by the shared belief that slowing down and paying attention to the natural world can reveal beauty, connection and meaning in unexpected ways.


Rakocy’s vibrant, layered paintings are built through an intuitive process of color, mark-making and discovery. Sundqvist’s atmospheric landscapes offer a quieter visual language, capturing subtle shifts in light, horizon, and mood. Together their work creates a gentle dialogue, like listening to two voices telling different parts of the same story.



“This show grew from a shared desire to slow down and pay attention — to nature, to ourselves, and to what we might notice when we take a moment to listen.” said Rakocy.&nbsp;We hope visitors leave feeling a little more connected — to nature and to themselves.


An opening reception will be held Saturday, April 25 from 5–8 PM, and the public is warmly invited to attend.
