About Dr. Simon Ilczyk.

Growing up in Poland, I developed a deep appreciation for physical activity, wellness, and the body’s natural ability to heal. I was fascinated by how targeted movement and touch could relieve pain and restore function. This curiosity led me to pursue a Master's Degree in Physical Education with a focus on massage therapy at the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice. There, I not only studied theory but also worked hands-on with patients, laying the foundation for what would become a lifelong dedication to helping others through physical rehabilitation.

After working as a massage therapist in Poland, I made the life-changing decision to immigrate to the United States. I was driven by a desire to expand my knowledge and make a broader impact. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Governors State University and soon after began practicing as a licensed Physical Therapist.

Over the years, I’ve continued to grow professionally—earning certifications as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and a Vestibular Therapist—so I can better serve patients with complex orthopedic, neurological, and balance-related conditions. Since 2017, I’ve had the privilege of working with patients of all ages, from young children to older adults, providing care that is rooted in empathy, science, and trust. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or experiencing dizziness and imbalance, I approach each case with individualized attention and evidence-based techniques tailored to their needs.

To me, physical therapy is more than a profession—it’s a way to connect with people during some of their most challenging moments and help them return to the life they want to live. That’s why I created Be Well Physical Therapy and Wellness: a place where patients feel seen, supported, and empowered on their journey to healing.
