Our Story  

Rebound’s founder, Jennifer Ilgauskas, has always prided herself in providing quality, professional services to her clients.  For more than five years she managed Precision Orthopaedic Specialties in Chardon, Ohio, and truly enjoyed the various challenges associated with the daily operations of a medical office.  It was during that time that Jennifer met her future husband, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, a professional basketball player with the Cleveland Cavaliers.  They soon married and relocated to the West Side of Cleveland.  Despite her passion for sports medicine, she tired of the daily 60-mile commute and decided to step away and spend time at home with her husband.

While at home for over a year, Jennifer was inspired by the skilled physical therapists that helped rehabilitate Zydrunas and got him back in the game after sustaining an injury on the court.  She began exploring the possibilities of starting a privately-owned, out-patient, physical therapy clinic.  After months of research and late night conversations with her husband, she arranged a meeting with Jon Strychasz, a physical therapist she had worked with at Precision, to discuss her ideas and to see if he would be interested in being a part of this venture. Ironically, during this same time period, Jon and fellow physical therapist Chet Blackburn had also been discussing opening a physical therapy clinic of their own.

Within months of the meeting between Jennifer and Jon, Rebound Physical Therapy was born. Our first clinic, located in Brooklyn, Ohio, opened its doors in October of 2006.  Since then, we have opened additional clinics in North Olmsted, Mansfield and Lakewood to bring the same sort of quality care to patients throughout Northeast and North Central Ohio.
