Free Body Physical Therapy is owned and operated by Dr. Marc Gregory Guillen, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT. After receiving a doctorate in physical therapy and working at several PT clinics along the west coast, Dr. Guillen completed a physical therapy fellowship program in Manual Therapy that less than 1% of physical therapists in the U.S. have completed. This expertise in Manual Therapy provides hands-on knowledge to help patients reach their physical therapy goals. Dr. Guillen offers a close one-on-one relationship with patients where his goal is to educate, empower and maximize recovery in as few visits as possible.

Common conditions that Dr. Guillen treats include back pain, neck and shoulder pain, knee and ankle injuries, post-surgery rehabilitation, arthritis, chronic pain conditions, sports injuries, and much more. Free Body Physical Therapy accepts most insurance, Medicare, worker’s comp and self-pay patients. Dr. Guillen is fluent in both English and Spanish.

Dr. Marissa Nemec, PT, DPT received her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology and Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. She has worked with a wide variety of orthopedic conditions and has participated in continuing education, focusing on her manual therapy expertise. Marissa is currently in the process of becoming a Certified Manual Trigger Point Therapist through Myopain Seminars and incorporates Dry Needling in her practice. She additionally specializes in treating vestibular dysfunction including BPPV, vestibular hypofunction and concussion. At Free Body Physical Therapy, she is looking forward to enhancing her knowledge base and skill set under the mentorship of Dr. Guillen.

As a former dancer and now healthcare professional, Marissa strives to optimize human movement for all individuals. She believes in educating patients, providing personalized care, and having a bit of fun along the way.

Outside of the clinic, Marissa stays active by attending barre classes and roller blading, but also enjoys less productive activities including shopping, relaxing with her cat, and indulging in Chicago’s food scene with friends.

Dr. Michal Czesny, PT, DPT attended Northwestern University in downtown Chicago for his Doctorate in Physical Therapy after receiving his bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Loyola University-Chicago.
Michal has experience treating a range of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions in addition to managing post-operative rehabilitation and care.
As a clinician, Michal prides himself on using a combination of education, exercise, and manual therapy to create a safe, fun environment for patients to meet their various goals and become as independent as possible.
He enjoys taking time to keep up with research so that he can provide the most relevant information to his patients so they can make the best decisions for themselves with their care.

Michal played soccer competitively from a young age through college and is eager to funnel that same competitive energy into getting his patients better and faster with the one-to-one model that Free Body Physical Therapy provides.
For Michal, successful treatment is not just by improving pain or function but by showing patients how they keep themselves well, too.

This Wisconsinite has been living in Chicago for the last 10 years and is ecstatic to start serving the community he now calls home.
When he is not thinking about physical therapy, Michal enjoys spending time with his partner and dog, playing board games like Settlers of Catan, some casual computer gaming, and cast iron cooking.
As an Arsenal FC fan who bleeds white and red, don’t be surprised if you find Michal at a pub on match day at 6 in the morning supporting his club!
