Team World Vision (TWV) has partnered with IMPACT Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery since the days when it was still known as the Chicago Recovery Room (CRR). Back then, a few of our runners from the South Loop happened to discover CRR and met Liz Yerly—and we’ve been part of that community ever since.
Liz and her team have a gift for making both running and injuries feel less overwhelming, especially for our runners—most of whom are training for their very first marathon. For beginners, an injury or even the fear of one can feel like an instant barrier. But the staff at IMPACT consistently remind our runners that a setback doesn’t have to mean the end of their marathon journey.
Through expert care and encouragement, they guide runners past the pain and mental hurdles of injury, help them recover, and support them all the way to the finish line. Beyond treatment, they also equip our team with practical knowledge on injury prevention and offer affordable access to recovery tools throughout the training season—ensuring our runners stay strong, confident, and race-ready.
IMPACT is an extension of our running community. It provides another place for our team to hang out after a run and is a one-stop shop for all the things you need to feel refreshed after a long run. Most of our runners live in the City and have small apartments/condos/townhomes that don’t allow for storing a lot of stuff, so having access to these tools makes it super easy and convenient to take care of yourself after logging a ton of miles.
Liz and her team are incredible! They are super flexible and willing to come to you to help spread the word about what IMPACT can offer. They provide an affordable and non-intimidating way for runners to get from the start of training to the finish line.
