Location: In-Person at our
Portage Clinic
Date: Mon, Jul 27, 2026 | Time: 6:00pm - 7:00pm

Dr. Joe Schilz, PT, DPT

Joe Schilz is a Doctor of Physical Therapy in our Portage location. He believes the relationship between a physical therapist and the patient is the foundation to success. He enjoys engaging with each individual to learn about not only what hurts or what limits them, but also who they are and why it is important for them to improve. He believes strongly that physical therapy needs to be tailored specifically to the person in front of him and not the body region that is affected. Dr. Joe’s approach to treatment is a collaboration with his patients’ which uses a combination of active movements and hands-on techniques.

Reviews

What is your overall impression of the laser treatment you have received? The laser treatment has been outstanding. It is a game changer!

How is this different from other treatments you have tried? It allows for a greater coverage area in a shorter amount of time, which allows more muscle groups to be worked over. There is also no recovery compared to the dry needling I have had done in the past. I noticed almost an instant improvement vs the dry needling and no soreness.

How is it fitting into other active movements/exercises you have done/are doing? The laser treatment has allowed for greater range of motion as it hits a greater coverage area. It allows me to work the muscles and perform better stretching and no recovery needed like the dry needling.

What has been your experience overall with receiving laser at New Life PT? My experience receiving laser at New Life PT has been amazing. After neck surgery in fall of 2023, I have struggled with neck and shoulder stiffness and pain. Dry needling offered minor relief. New Life then introduced me to laser therapy and from the moment I had treatment, it made a huge difference. My pain and stiffness has decreased immensely. I would toss and turn while sleeping because of the soreness in my neck and shoulders. After laser treatment I am sleeping much better. Having this treatment option is a great benefit to those that either don’t respond well to dry needling or have a wide area that needs covering. I am so grateful for the opportunity that New Life PT has given me!!!!
