COLLEEN LEVITZ, a physical therapy genius, has been working her magic for more than 20 years, the last 14 at Northbrook’s Rebound Fitness and Rehabilitation. Setting goals for herself and her clients and putting in the work to achieve them is cathartic for Levitz, who lives by the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.” With her passion for health and helping others, she strives to get clients back to what they enjoy doing most—be it swinging a racquet or a club. Setting aside her strengthening bands, Levitz shares her city and shore favorites with Sheridan Road.
