Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Adam Weiss.
Dr. Adam Weiss is Board Certified Chiropractic Physician. Dr. Weiss graduated from National University of Health Sciences in 1992.Dr. Weiss has been in private practice for the past 25 years, specializing in neuromuscular injuries. As the medical director of PilateSmart in Deer Park, Illinois, Dr. Weiss has been successfully integrating the AbSmart, BackSmart, and StretchSmart Methods, sports conditioning and lifestyle changes including weight loss programs into his practice.
Dr. Weiss’s knowledge of endurance, flexibility, and strengthening exercises are a result of his own experience with martial arts and from years of weight training; he has held a first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do since the age of fifteen, having competed in state and national competitions at the junior and senior levels. Dr. Weiss teaches Pilate reformer classes while maintaining a full-time practice during which time he also presents strengthening and conditioning exercises at workshops for professional and amateur sports clubs and martial arts studios throughout the United States.
Dr. Weiss has written Strechsmart: dynamic stretching to improve the way you feel and move, the Absmart fitness plan: the proven workout to lose inches and strengthen your core without straining your back, and the Backsmart fitness plan: a total body workout to strengthen and heal your back, a complete full-body workout.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I have taught thousands of clients over the past 20 years. I feel each new person I meet either as a patient or a new student for the reformer class offers opportunities and challenges. The need for people to invest in their health is more important than ever now with the healthcare system we have. The struggle has been communicating with them before a health issue arises.
PilateSmart – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I started out seeing patients with muscle-skeletal injuries from sports to everyday aches and pains. I started to incorporate more exercising with my patients on the Pilates reformer and they improved so much they asked if they could bring their friends. Now I see International Olympic Athletes from France, Australia, Japan who seek me out for care and my workouts. It a lot of fun to have young athletes come to class. They bring a lot of energy and motivate the adult students as well.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success for me would be helping someone every day achieve their goals who seeks help from me.

Been seeing Doctor Weiss for years for classes and adjustments. If it wasn’t for him I would never be playing ice hockey again.
Thanks Doc!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Weiss since he opened his office in 1992, and I could not be more pleased with the service he has provided to me. Doctor Weiss is not only extremely competent, but also very accommodating and personable. When I visit his office, it is clear to me that my health is Adam’s only concern, and he will spend as much time with me as is necessary to resolve my issue. At 69 years of age, I play golf three times a week, and play sports with my grandchildren on a regular basis. None of that would be possible without Doctor Weiss.

Dr.weiss has helped me with upper back problems that started many years ago. His Pilates program is very helpful and has helped me maintain flexibility and advanced level fitness. I strongly recommend this program.
