Entropy Physiotherapy & Wellness in Chicago looks like plenty of other physical therapy clinics. It focuses on pelvic issues including pain, pregnancy and postpartum issues, vulvodynia, and men's health matters. It offers neuromuscular reeducation, pelvic floor physical therapy education, spinal mobilization, and neurodynamic mobilization.

Public Safety

The security surrounding Entropy, however, isn't like that of many other clinics. Sandra Hilton, PT, DPT, MS, chose the location in part due to safety. It's within walking distance of the train—an important factor for both the staff and the clinic's patients and clients. It also has easy access to public transportation. The area outside the building is well-lit. And the clinic itself has 4 separate exits, not all of them obvious.
