Three things to know:
1. Under Illinois' new direct access policy, patients no longer need a physician's prescription to undergo physical therapy.
2. The new Orland Park clinic features physical therapists experienced in treating sports injuries, work injuries and chronic conditions and providing pre- and postsurgical rehabilitation.
3. Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush doctors serve as the team physicians for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Fire Soccer Club and Joffrey Ballet, among others.
