What Makes 2XPT Different
-
Physical Therapy Meets Personal Training
Hands-on treatment plus strength and mobility training, one-on-one in the same session, so you come out stronger, not just out of pain.
-
Technology That Speeds Healing
Bioelectric therapy, whole-body EMS, and therapies like trigger point injections to help you recover faster and more fully.
-
Your Whole Care Team
Physicians, nurse practitioners, and trainers share one plan, so every cause gets addressed and nothing falls through the cracks between providers.
Physical Therapy in Wicker Park That Doesn’t Stop at Pain-Free
Maybe it’s the knee that flares every time you ride down Milwaukee. The back that locks up after a week at the desk. The shoulder that’s been “fine” ever since you stopped doing whatever hurt it.
You’ve probably tried the usual fixes. Rest, ice, a printed sheet of exercises. It got better. Then it came back, or it moved somewhere new.
That pattern has a cause. When one area loses strength or mobility, the rest of your body covers for it. Joints start carrying loads they weren’t built for, and eventually one of them complains.
Treat only the spot that hurts and the cause is still there, waiting.
That’s why 2XPT, our approach to physical therapy, starts with a head-to-toe functional evaluation and ends with you stronger than you were before you got hurt. It’s physical therapy and personal training, one-on-one, in the same session.
We’re on North Avenue at the corner of Claremont, just east of Western and a short walk from the Damen or Western Blue Line stops.
You’ll know what’s wrong, why, and what it’ll take before you commit to anything.

More Than Exercises and a Heat Pack
Exercise and hands-on work are the foundation, and you get both every session. 2XPT adds tools that help you heal and build strength faster.
Bioelectric therapy. Reduces pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm while improving blood flow.
Whole-body EMS. Stronger contractions than you can create on your own, with no weight on the injured joint. You build strength while you heal.
Trigger point injections. Break up stubborn knots that keep a muscle locked up, so hands-on work and training can finally take hold.
Regenerative medicine. For injuries that have stalled, or when you want to speed things along, treatments like prolotherapy prompt your body to repair worn or loose ligaments and tendons.
Body composition scans. Measure your muscle and your side-to-side imbalances, so progress is a number, not a guess.
Our physicians and nurse practitioners provide the medical support. Not every plan uses every tool. Your evaluation decides.
One Team, One Plan
Most pain has more than one cause, and a single practitioner can only treat what their training covers. Whatever falls outside that goes untreated, and that’s often why the pain comes back.
Physicians and nurse practitioners diagnose and provide the medical support.
Hands-on specialists work on joints, soft tissue, and how you move.
Trainers build the strength, one-on-one.
Everyone works from one chart. The person who diagnoses you and the person who trains you are in the same building, working from the same plan.
How Physical Therapy Works Here
Step 1: Functional Evaluation
We look at how you move, load, and compensate, along with your history and your goals. You leave knowing what's wrong, why, and roughly how long it'll take. No referral needed.
Step 2: One-on-One 2XPT Sessions
Treatment and training happen in the same visit. That means hands-on work, bioelectric therapy or medical care if your plan calls for it, then strength and mobility training with a coach on every rep.
Step 3: Get Strong, Then Get Done
We reassess as you go. The finish line is strong enough that the pain stays gone, plus the exercises to handle a flare on your own. If you want to keep training afterward, MedGym is nearby on Damen.
Not Sure What You Need?
Our treatment planning tool matches your goals to the right services, from physical therapy to medical care to MedGym training.
Physical Therapy in Wicker Park: Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Your care is led by physicians who can diagnose and treat you directly. Request an appointment and we’ll start with your evaluation.
Many of our physical therapy services can be covered by insurance. Some add-on therapies and medical treatments are out-of-pocket. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s covered before you start.
Two ways. You’re one-on-one for the whole session Strength training and mobility training are part of the treatment, because lost strength and mobility are usually the root of the problem.
That’s the goal. We find where you’re compensating, treat what isn’t functioning well, then build the strength so you can get back to it without paying for it the next day.
Your evaluation tells us. Every plan has an end, and we tell you roughly where it is up front. Plans can be as short as 6 visits and many can be several weeks to properly address issues for long-term results.
No. You just have to want back what the pain has been taking from you.

“Everything was so tight and so swollen and so inflamed that nothing I was doing at home or anywhere else helped. Truly nothing helped as much as coming [to Balanced Flow]. My life now looks like to be able to do, this literally sounds like a commercial, but all the things I want to do.

“Balanced Flow far exceeded my expectations. What I thought was chronic pain in my neck/shoulders/back for the past 20 years was relieved quickly by the Balanced Flow team. I had almost immediate results in the first 2 weeks at Balanced Flow which did more for me than the past several years of acupuncture, massages, yoga, cryotherapy, and weekly chiropractic visits. After 2 months of weekly visits, I had zero pain, learned a lot about anatomy, and significantly increased my strength and flexibility. The pain that used to come back within a few days or a week now stays away permanently. I did a month off MIHA training and am looking forward to continuing strength training.”

“Balanced Flow Wellness is the best for anything body related. The staff is beyond incredible, so welcoming, friendly and helpful. I’ve continued to go back to Balanced Flow Wellness for all my different body ailments, ranging from a hip issue to a tight back from working out.
Every time I’ve had something come up, they create a plan and outline expected rehab and are transparent about the cost. They also are great for smaller things too I’d need to drop in for like a tight shoulder.
They also take my insurance which is an added benefit. Balanced Flow Wellness has a range of services from PT, chiropractic care, cupping, mija, needling and more. I’ve sent so many friends here and will always be where I go to keep my body working right.”

“I found Balanced Flow after having a few unsuccessful treatment attempts for a long standing injury, and I am glad I did. From my initial visit, it was clear that all the staff were knowledgeable, invested, and caring above all else. Having gotten to know them all, I will say they are great people and an excellent team.
The treatment strategy they presented me was laid out clearly and logically based on my individual needs and expectations, and their pricing was transparent and reasonable. Their methods are all legit as well – no quackery, just solid medicine. Beyond that, everyone is very receptive of feedback and adapts each visit accordingly.
Overall, I have had a great experience coming here, and I feel so much better than I did before I started. If you’re looking for a friendly, supportive, and awesome group of folks to heal with, this is definitely the spot.”
