About Maxicare Physical Therapy & Wellness

The practice that treats the cause.

Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this practice to end them: one-on-one, with a licensed therapist, every single visit.

Our Story

This isn’t our story. It’s yours.

Portrait of Michael Jumao-as, owner and physical therapist at Maxicare

Michael Jumao-as, PTRP, PT, WCPT, Founder

I grew up in Cebu City and took my physical therapy degree at Velez College. Since then I have worked just about every setting there is: outpatient, inpatient, nursing homes, home health, sports rehab, treating everyone from kids to athletes to adults in their nineties. You learn something different in each one. Mostly you learn how many people get handed a diagnosis and a sheet of exercises and never actually get looked at.

I am also a Sergeant in the US Army Reserve, and the Army values are not something I left at the drill hall. Loyalty, duty, respect, integrity, selfless service, honor, personal courage. Run a practice on those and a lot of decisions get simple. You do not rush somebody out the door because the schedule is tight. You do not keep them coming back after they are better.

So Beverly and I built the kind of practice we wanted to work in. One therapist, one patient, the whole appointment. We find what is actually causing the pain, we tell you what we found in plain language, and we give you a plan with an end date. That is the whole idea, and it is why people look past the other clinics near them and choose us. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.

“You only lose when you stop.”

What We Believe

Four things we’ll never compromise.

Your hour. Not shared.

No techs bouncing between rooms, no handoffs mid-visit. Just you and a licensed therapist, the whole time.

Cause first. Symptoms follow.

You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We find the why, then the ache stops coming back.

Plans end. That’s the point.

You shouldn’t need a punch card. Every plan comes with a graduation date, so you always know how close you are.

You’re not a protocol.

Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.

The Difference

Not your typical practice.

A typical clinic

  • You explain your pain to a different aide every visit
  • Your hour gets split with two other patients
  • The same pain creeps back in a few months
  • No graduation date, just book again next week

Maxicare Physical Therapy & Wellness

  • One-on-one with a licensed therapist, every visit
  • Your full hour, uninterrupted, every time
  • A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything

Rooted in Carpentersville

This is our neighborhood too.

We’ve been treating Carpentersville for 7+ years: your neighbors, your teammates, your kids’ coaches. The mom who’s been pushing through it so nobody else has to worry? She’s probably on our schedule too. Recovery is a lot more personal when it’s local.
