Dr. Marcin Jez

I was drawn into physical therapy through a combination of my interest in athletics and a desire to help people stay active and pain-free. Growing up around athletics, I saw firsthand how injuries can impact performance and quality of life, and I wanted to be part of helping people recover and get back to what they love.

I have been fortunate to learn from many strong clinicians and physicians throughout my career who have helped shape how I approach patient care. I have also been influenced by my mother, who is a nurse, who instilled in me the importance of helping others and putting patients first.

I have been a physical therapist since 2011, primarily in the outpatient orthopedic setting. Over the years, I have continued to expand my skillset through certifications in dry needling, vestibular rehabilitation, and concussion management. I also stay actively involved in clinical education, leading courses, and mentoring newer clinicians.

What I enjoy the most is the problem-solving aspect of physical therapy and the relationships built along the way. Every patient presents a unique challenge, and it’s rewarding to guide them. Whether it’s pain, functional demand or just education, I enjoy building their confidence and improving their function

I enjoy working with a wide range of patients, from athletes to the general population. I have a particular interest in helping active individuals return to sport or activity, whether that’s youth athletics, weekend warriors, or higher-level competitors.

I take a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care, looking beyond just the area of pain to understand the bigger picture and address the root cause, not just the symptoms. Each plan is individualized based on the patient’s goals and lifestyle, with a strong focus on clear communication so they feel confident every step of the way.
My experience working with athletes at all levels, including professional hockey with the Cincinnati Cyclones, helps shape my approach to performance, recovery, and return to activity.

My goal is to help you move better, feel better, and get back to doing what you enjoy. I focus on identifying the root cause of your issue, creating a plan that fits your life, and giving you the tools to stay healthy!

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am a father of two active boys who keep me busy and bring me a lot of joy. My wife, Meggie, and I love to travel and explore whenever we can. I also enjoy staying active and am a Chicago sports fan at heart.
