Private physical therapy · Elm Grove & Brookfield

The whole studio, reserved for you.

When you visit Ares, you’re the only patient here. You won’t share the lounge, the training room, or a single piece of equipment. From the moment you arrive until you leave, it’s just you and your doctor of physical therapy.

The lounge, Elm Grove
Private studio

One patient in the clinic at a time. No waiting room crowd, no other patients, no aides or hand-offs. Your entire visit is you and your doctor.

55–60 minutes

Unhurried sessions with time to assess, treat, and teach you what to do between visits.

Private pay

We don’t bill insurance, so your care plan is set by your goals, not by a visit cap.

The approach

A clear path from first conversation to full function.

Consultation

We sit down in the lounge and talk through your history, your goals, and what a good outcome looks like for you.

II

Assessment

A thorough movement evaluation with measured baselines: range of motion, strength, and timed functional tests.

III

Your plan

A written plan built around your schedule and your sport, with milestones you can see.

We re-measure as we go and adjust the plan, so you always know where you stand.

Our team

Doctors of physical therapy, one patient at a time.

Every session at Ares is led by a doctor of physical therapy. Each brings a deep specialty, and you work with the same clinician from first visit to last.

Founder

Dr. Elizabeth Ngutse PT, DPT

Liz founded Ares to offer the kind of care she wanted for her own athletes: one clinician who knows you, listens closely, and explains every step.

Before physical therapy, she coached elite gymnastics. That background shapes how she works today: precise movement, steady progress, and a plan you understand.

The studio

Calm by design.

Your visit takes place in a private suite designed for comfort and focus. Put on your own music and settle in. With no other patients and nothing competing for your doctor’s attention, every minute of your 55 to 60 minute visit is focused on you.

Private lounge

A comfortable space to talk through your goals and review your progress.

Treatment room

A motorized, cushioned treatment table that adjusts to you, in place of the hard, fixed tables of a typical clinic.

Open gym

A fully equipped training floor, used only by you during your visit.

Your music

Choose the playlist. The room sounds the way you like it.
