Athletico Gold Coast is fortunate to have Dani Harkavy leading and working with patients. She brings a unique focus to the arena, and I feel deeply blessed to have her structure a program that improved my strength and balance and infused me with real hope of a full recovery. This for me was a lesson in learning to surrender and trust the teacher. Dani is amazing. Anyone who is seeking to rehab and heal must work with Dani. I am grateful for Dani and her team, they are the very best. Berk F read more

If you want no progression, no plan, and no recovery, go here. You'll need to come prepared to remind your PT what you did the previous weeks and then get passed around to the assistants for the rest of the appointment. After seeing TaShea once a week for 3 months and making ZERO progress, I started going to Dynamic Physical Therapy in River North and saw progress within 2 weeks. The attention, knowledge and understanding I received at Dynamic were night and day difference to what I received at Athletico. DO NOT GO here unless you want to be pushed through the system with people who do not care about you or your recovery. read more

In 2023, I suffered a torn rotator cuff due to a work-related injury. I went through five months of therapy at another facility and thought I would never heal. In 2024, a doctor recommended that I have surgery to repair my torn rotator cuff so I did. I was advised that after my surgery I would have to continue my therapy for approximately 8 -12 months. The Athletico Gold Coast came highly recommended. All the employees were always kind, helpful and professional. My therapist Dani provided excellent care. Dani stayed right with me through my ups, my downs, my good days and bad days. Dani is a highly skilled professional, very knowledgeable, a great communicator and listener. She is compassionate and doesn't hesitate to advocate for her patients. Thank you so much Dani ! My other therapist on the days Dani wasn't available was George. Everything I said above for Dani goes ditto for George. George and Dani worked together to formulate a plan that enabled me to heal, strengthen and regain the use of my right shoulder. As a result, I have successfully completed my therapy and returned to full duty. There were other therapist that pitched in as well during this year long process and provided excellent quality care. I would highly recommend Athletico Gold Coast to anyone looking for exceptional, highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals. Many Thanks, Diane W. read more

Just want to start off saying I have loved Athletico and the service providers that I've had there in the past (specifically on Devon Ave) and I do have experience with PT in general. The first day I show up a couple mins early and the front desk person was pretty straightforward and explained that there was a 15 min grace period before the appointment is cancelled as they do have a tight schedule which I signed and agreed to. For the entire hour I was there, everyone up front was laughing having a laid back time which was distracting but like fine I let it slide. The next day I show up 6 mins behind schedule (still within the time frame) and the provider's whole demeanor changed. She didn't acknowledge me/say hello, claimed they run a tight ship (the front desk worker situation definitely didn't reflect that), and basically lectured me about how I was taking away our time and other patient's time. I had only met this person the day before and she was extremely hostile to me. I said that I didn't appreciate being talked to that way (just to her) and I don't think this is the best fit. She then took it upon herself to say she's holding me accountable because I hadn't been before and also said "it's not like other fields where time doesn't matter as much"? Not sure what she was implying but a simple "Hey, I noticed you came in at 7:06, can you call the front if you're running late?" Would have sufficed. Not a full lecture so everyone else could hear. Definitely don't recommend this place if you are a minority because they will talk to you like you are a child. And when I called to cancel the rest of the appointments, I asked if they needed DOB or name and I was met with "we have caller id". Very dehumanizing experience for simply stating I didn't think it was a fit, sorry for not wanting care from someone who was clearly very hostile towards me. read more

I've been working with Katie for only a week, and the pain in my shoulder and tennis elbow is already showing signs of recovery. I was hoping the pain would go away on its own, but my doctor recommended physical therapy, and it really has been helpful. Katie Warner is personable, knowledgable and effective. She makes sure you understand the physiology behind each movement and exercise, and she makes you feel comfortable in your situation. In fact, she has her doctorate, which, of course, makes her "Dr. Katie," but she just likes to go by Katie. Emma was very helpful when getting enrolled, and Naomi was very pleasant in assisting me with my exercises. If you're looking for results with a long-term favorable outcome, I would highly recommend Athletico Gold Coast. read more

If you value honesty and trustworthiness in the people you hire, avoid this place like the plague. First, they overcharged me. I would never have known that I was being over-billed unless I checked with my insurance company. When I brought the error to their attention, they eventually admitted the mistake, but it was like pulling teeth to get them to actually issue a refund. Eventually, after many phone calls, emails and time, I was able to get a refund check and left with a zero balance on my account. No apology, no acknowledgment that this should have only taken one phone call; just disrespect and bad attitude that they had to cut me a check. Months later, I get a bill saying I owe more money. I paid every time on the day of treatment and left with a zero balance. How could I possibly owe you money? When I called to ask about it, I received the same disrespect and bad attitude as when I questioned the original overcharge. There are simply too many good options in Chicago to waste your time on a company that doesn't value trust and respect in dealing with clients. read more

Erin and team are top notch at Athletico Gold Coast. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and really helpful. This location is really convenient, clean and I love all of the beautiful plants! Erin really helped me get back on track from having a broken ankle - she is the best! read more

This location was conveniently located to me and I'm so glad I went. I'd been suffering from planters fasciitis for quite a while and started seeing Kathleen Warner for pt. She is knowledgeable, kind, friendly and helped me get through my pain. The entire place and all the other staff people worked so well together. Overall a happy, great experience! read more

I fractured my hip and I was extremely lucky to get Jeanne as my Physical Therapist. Jeanne is knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated and caring. She wants all of her clients to make good progress and she works hard to achieve this. She watches as you do your exercises and pays attention to how you respond. She welcomes feedback and acts on it. I can not praise her highly enough. You will be fortunate if you get her as your Physical Therapist. read more

5 months ago, I broke my ankle. I would have never dreamed that I'd be running this soon, but this talented staff made it happen. My Physical Therapist for the past 3+ months has been Patrick Nielsen. Let me tell you about Patrick. Patrick loves his job. He genuinely cares about his work and helping people see to it that they get back to doing what they love. He has made the environment enjoyable and the injury bearable. We've been able to have super great conversations, and even though he's an Eagles fan,--I'm a Cowboys fan til the day I die--he's still a super great person. To anyone reading this needing a Physical Therapist, he's your guy. (And any higher-ups reading this who are in charge of Patrick, he's also your guy--for a raise!!) I cannot express how thankful I am for the staff at Athletico Gold Coast for giving me my ankle back, and doing it in a way that was an absolute joy. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to miss Physical Therapy. Thank you Patrick and the staff at Gold Coast!!!! read more

Ode to Todd, Patrick and the A-Team: After a severe hand injury, surgery and six weeks in a cast, I learned what happens when the cast comes off: painful therapy. My surgeon handed me a piece of paper with a list of Athletico locations. I chose the one closest to me and with great hesitation went to my first appointment with Occupational Therapist, Todd Cobler. As you can imagine, I wasn't in the best of spirits as I embarked on the road to recovery. Luckily for me, Todd, Patrick and the rest of the Athletico staff are incredibly caring, funny and good at what they do...I never thought I would laugh while people cause me pain (good, healing pain of course). I'm grateful for Todd's magical healing powers. He's the company's only OT on staff at that location, and he works hard to make his clients both comfortable and fully mobile. If you have an injury on the upper half of your body, I strongly recommend giving Todd a visit. He's knowledgeable and provides gadgets to ensure proper healing (protractors! silly putty! splints! golf balls!). He also has great stories and a very friendly staff that will coax the soreness out of your muscles and the sadness out of your spirits. Todd, you and the Athletico family truly rock. Thank you! read more

Thank you Kendra for getting me back to running! I had previously been in physical therapy at another Athletico location with another Athletico therapist. To make a long story short, it didn't go very well. And I resolved to the fact that my knee wouldn't get better, and I wouldn't be able to run again.... ....and then enter Kendra. She was so knowledgeable, and so patient, and very optimistic that I would be able to get back to running. Her exercises were perfect for my knees, and with all her experience/knowledge she got me back to a walk/run program. And 4 months later, I ran a half marathon!! Thank you Kendra soooooooo much for your patience and your determination to help me get back to a running program. read more

Absolutely recommend this place if you need Physical Therapy! Chris Jensen was the best PT person I've ever seen and I could not have been happier with the service here. He was very friendly and attentive to my specific goals and got me back to 100% a lot quicker than I could have hoped. Had Knee surgery on a torn meniscus and was back to 100% and playing Ice hockey within 5 weeks. The entire staff is friendly and takes the time to know your name. Hopefully I won't need PT anytime in the future, but if I did, Chris would be the first person i would try to see. read more

I woke up one morning and could barely get out of bed because of back pain. After a trip I started physical therapy with Sally Ryan. My goals were to play full court basketball and lifting weights with my trainer again. After 3 day/week sessions for two months I was back. Sally is excellent at her job and great to work with. Highly recommended! read more

I have thankfully not needed regular services of AthletiCo, so this is a review of the preliminary/injury screen, which they offer for free. I even had the option to schedule an appointment the same day I called, though I opted for the following day. The therapist was so friendly, like the rest of the staff, and took the time to answer my questions and make sure I really understood what was going on. While some of my excitement about this place may have to do with the fact that I won't need guided physical therapy, I was very impressed with the time and care they took with a free injury screen. There was NO pressure or even mention of coming back for more physical therapy. The therapist even showed me exercises I could do on my own to manage my own recovery. Awesome service. I hope I never need to come here, but I'm glad that that if I do, this would be a silver lining... read more

I have been 5 times now for PT and already can feel the difference in my lower back. The staff works as a team and really takes care if everyone. Hima is my therapist and she really listens to me and seems genuinely concerned. She takes careful notes and documentation. Very happy I sought treatment here. read more

I'm obsessed with every single person at this place. I have never met a more supportive, encouraging and friendly group of people before. My PT was Lauren and not only is she an awesome PT who obviously knows her stuff but she's very easy to get along with and makes the whole "being miserable because I'm injured" thing much more enjoyable. I'm going to PA school right now and I told Lauren I'm sending all of my future injured patients to go see her because I really do think she is the best. All the other PT's seem awesome too and the assistants there are very friendly and helpful. If you're injured- go here! They work well with your schedule to make convenient appointments and I really don't think the staff could be any better! read more

After shoulder surgery I was told I needed regular physical therapy to regain strength and rotation. Immediately I recalled friends' stories of physical 'torture,' medical bills and hours upon hours wasted in inconvenient gyms. I was not a happy camper. But I'm here to tell you, Athletico makes physical therapy enjoyable. I spent 1 hour a day, three times a week with Sarah K.-- and I looked forward to every session. Sarah is kind and smart, always paying close attention to detail and explaining what she's doing/the reasons behind treatment. After my time at Athletico I walked away with not only a totally recuperated shoulder, but with an understanding of how to treat my body in the future. The space: bright, updated and close to transit The machines/equipment: clean, new and available The staff: friendly, knowledgeable and efficient The details: scheduling is easy, they take insurance and by god, you need to go! read more

I've been a patient of Athletico Gold Coast for the last 8 months as I originally came in for broken cartilage in my kneecap and then broke my foot a few months later (bad luck I swear). Alexa Bancel has been the Physical Therapist treating me. Alexa is a diamond in the rough and I cannot thank her enough. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about PT, exercises, movements, etc. she really cares about her patients. After 4 months I started experiencing pain again in my foot and she came with me to my ortho appointment at Northwestern to meet with my doctor alongside me. I cannot begin to say how thankful I am to have such a caring, involved and educated physical therapist. read more

I love shortcuts in life. Usually, they garner positive results. However, when it comes to my lifelong avoidance of stretching after a workout, well, it's now come back to haunt me in the form of a massive strain in my thigh muscle. My doctor gave me a prescription for physical therapy immediately after it happened, and though loathe to admit, I was planning on throwing it in the trash. I figured it would just heal on its own in a couple of days. Alas, I was again mistaken. (Insert Athletico here). I went to my first appointment the other night, and met my fantastic therapist Pam - she was sharp, friendly, and clearly knew what she was doing. She immediately put me at ease, and ran me through a couple of stretches, an awesome massage with a rolling pin-like device (I'm big on technical terms, obviously), and then iced it down to cap off the hour long session. I left feeling loose, and woke up the next morning with significantly reduced pain. Athletico's Gold Coast location is not super big, but it has all the amenities you could possibly ask for in a rehab center. All of the staff I interacted with were super friendly, and professional. If you're trying to recover from an injury, look no further. read more

My review is so long overdue, sorry. I hurt my ankle and was in therapy 2-3 time a week for a few months. I can admit I am the worst patient, seriously like ever. I was lucky enough to be assigned to work wth Patrick for my therapy. He is a such a dedicated professional. His commitment and optimism made me 100% invested in my recovery. I look forward to our weekly torture sessions. My balance and coordination improved dramatically. It has definitely improved quality of my life. Usually one of his later appointments and even at the end of the day, he was always so patient and encouraging. Thank you Patrick! read more

Got my second part of treatment there, it was incorrect unethical and unprofessional with negative impact on my heath. This is my second attempt to post the review read more

November 2018, I dislocated my elbow and decided this is the place to start my healing!!! The first person I spoke to was Nicollette, who made the process so easy and painless on picking my specialist! The first day I felt nervous also scared due to the fact I've never broke or dislocated anything in my life, but as soon as that elevator opened the smile and warmth from the front desk those feelings faded. Expressing my feelings about my first day Nicollette and Julie reassured me I'm in the best hands, then walks in Kathy the best therapist I could ask for! She is a God sent, and everyone should have a Kathy! Kathy's encouragement pushes me harder and I don't think I could have gotten this far without her! I'm currently still in therapy because I finally had surgery and I can honestly say I love this place! I know there are other Athletico but you have a DIAMOND in Gold Coast!!! Everyone is so friendly and you can tell they love what they do!! I know it's weird to love physical but it makes a difference when it comes to the environment and the people!! I can't thank everyone enough for what they have done for me and continue to do!!! I will recommend everyone to the best damn TEAM AND PLACE!! read more

I highly recommend this place for physical therapy. Not only are they extremely professional, but Austin and Jack are ready, willing and able to answer your questions. They both have a great sense of humor and are very knowledgeable, making the entire experience very pleasant. I feel so much better after going here. The environment is just so welcoming and makes you excited to go through PT!! Kudos to Austin and Jack! read more

Seems like a solid place with good people that work there. Unfortunately, though, I had an awful experience. I went in for my initial assessment for a TORN ACHILLES and was assigned a PT, let's call him Ben. Then for my follow-up appointment two days later they assigned me a different PT, let's call her Jen (it was a Saturday, not all PTs are there those days it's no big deal). It was evident that Jen had many more years of experience and way more knowledgeable than Ben. Nothing against him, he is new to this and just doesn't have the experience. Jen has clearly treated many Torn Achilles. Due to some bad luck with my insurance (be careful when you have HMO ppl) I am paying for sessions OUT OF POCKET. I also, unfortunately, have to travel out of town and won't be able to do consistent PT, instead I have to do rehab on my own for a few months. Both Ben and Jen knew this. Huge risk of having long-term chronic pain on my Achilles. SO long story short. I saw Ben twice, and Jen once. I wanted to see Jen one more time before I left town to get as much knowledge and expertise as possible before venturing off on my own. They weren't having it. Everyone felt bad for Ben because I wasn't sacrificing my well-being and PAYING $150 FOR SESSION to go see him so he could get some training and experience in on my terribly torn Achilles tendon. Honestly, Athletico has zero concern for the patient's well-being. They were more concerned for Ben, so he could get some people on his schedule. Jen has a very tight schedule (very experienced) and I asked to be put on her waitlist for this whole week. Ben took me off that waitlist. Now, I will not be able to get another session in before leaving town. Terrible people management, patient care, and genuine concern for a patient's HORRIBLE INJURY. Honestly, most of the needed exercises are online. I can handle it myself, but it would have been enormous for me to get more guidance from an experienced, knowledgeable PT. Jen (not her name) thanks for your help and guidance! Good luck with them, and remember folks put your well-being above the comfort of the PTs and the owner's ability to bill more people!!! read more

Since it's amazingly convenient to work and home, I elected to do rehab post knee scope there. The first clown to see me, Hima, didn't ask my goals, instead jumped into some whatever. I finally got to inject what I was wanting to do post rehab (Crossfit), and I got the reply, "yes, but what will you do for cardio" (showing her lack of training knowledge and terminology knowledge.) Oh yeah - she didn't know that the kettlebell is primarily a conditioning tool... I jettisoned her as quickly as I could (she also was clearly not paying attention during some of my rehab movements). The next clown did a good job on basic mobility, but nothing for targeted strength. My vastus medialus was never specifically targeted. The ORTHO and the Sports Med docs were both surprised at that, since it's pretty much the go-to move for my type of injury, according to them. It felt more like general prehab or "get a fat person off his duff and working out for the first time" instead of highly-active person's kneehab. Before embarking on PT, go to a high-end MD, and see what they recommend, preferably something on their premises. Northwestern, for example, has its own rehab. oh yeah. I ended up doing my own, targeted strengthening and stretching that the ORTHO and sports med docs approved, and got much stronger and was back to full capacity. PT is crucial, just do it at a better place. Or that's more suited to the athletic type's rehab. read more

I recently started coming here for a long stint of physical therapy sessions because I tore my ACL training in Brazilian Jiujitsu. My surgeon recommended this location to me, and I couldn't be happier. The facility is large and extremely clean. The machines are all top notch and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Never a transportation problem due to the plethora of cabs, busses, trains, etc...best of all there is a parking lot which the validate for costing only $6. I have been working with Adam W. and he is absolutely amazing. Extremely motivating, yet patient - certainly an expert in his field. I know that he is one of the top guys there, so his schedule is always busy - I booked him out for several months in advance, but it is well worth it. read more

I had a great experience with Athletico physical therapist Erin Weinhardt, whom I went to see for help with a shoulder, neck, and jaw issue that's probably related to sitting at a computer all day. I've had varying degrees of pain for years (decades?) and I've seen a number of PTs, all of whom were able to solve part of the issue but didn't fully address the underlying cause. I hit the jackpot with Erin ... she's AMAZING! I can hardly believe it, but she helped me all but eliminate this chronic issue. Erin is super knowledgeable. She asks great questions and she actually listens to her patients so she can offer the best solutions to get you back to your own best functionality. Erin identified the problem and taught me a series of what seem to be simple exercises that are complete game changers. When I dug deeper into her recommendations she took the time to explain the physiology behind the exercises, which helped me stick with them. I now have strategies for ongoing maintenance as well as tools I can use to identify and stop the problems as they begin to creep in again. If you're looking for a great PT, go see Erin and her team at Athletico Gold Coast. Thank you, Erin! read more

In December of 2010 I had shoulder and bicep surgery ( SLAP Surgery and Bicep tendonesis ). I was referred to Athletico here ( it has since moved from Clark to Chicago and Dearborn by the Chik-Fil-A )... My therapist was Kendra, although I worked a few times with Lauren, Adam, and a couple of others.. My care was outstanding... The entire staff was fantastic, and Patrick would do my trigger point release massage, which was 5 stars for sure!! If I am ever injuried (hopefully never again ) again, I will go back here in an instant!!! read more

Just wanted to commend Lauren Parsons on the great job she has done working with me in the last 4 - 6 weeks. PT is inherently awful for the client; you get poked, prodded, and have to endure exercises that only a masochist would complete on their our time. That being said, Lauren has been a pleasure to work with. Like most clients, I have no idea what is wrong with my knee. Lauren has taken the time on several occasions to ensure that I understand not only what the poking and prodding accomplish but also why the exercises will expedite my therapy. I feel as though there are few people in the medical (loosely speaking) field that genuinely care about their patient and I believe that Lauren is one of them. Additionally, it's refreshing to show up to the location and see that everyone enjoys their job, whether it be at 7am on a Saturday or the last appointment of the day on Friday. Everyone has been accommodating and generally enjoyable to converse with / be around which lightens the mood considering the reason for the visit. read more

The care is good but their billing department is screwed up - no level of transparency!

Patrick is a very talented professional who makes even the most difficult procedures manageable and even fun. The whole staff at clearly happy to be there and enjoy helping clients of all types. read more

Found these guys from a post race booth, got a free eval and they referred me to a sports MD. Turned out i had a strained hip muscle of some sort, MD I was referred to not so great, used alot of technical terms and didn't really seem to care...anyway. The PT i was set up with was Kendra, she did an amazing job of pinpointing the problem right away, and with a little "good pain" as i call it has made my leg back to perfect condition. I went from barely walking to running again. If your looking for an awesome PT team ask for Kendra and Darrel... game changers. Cant rate them high enough. read more

This review is way overdue. About a year ago, I worked with Eric in an attempt to both recover from a sprained ankle that had never quite healed and train for an upcoming marathon without experiencing my usual set of injuries. Not only did I run the marathon (with a PR!), but thanks to Eric, I have spent the last year running injury-free. I have never in my life gone this long without injury. I attribute my success 100% to Eric and the set of exercises that he advised I continue to do after finishing PT. As an added bonus, Eric and the entire staff at Athletico are incredibly friendly, making the 2x/week appointments a lot of fun. To me the lesson is clear - go to Athletico, do what they tell you to do, and you'll end up healthier than you ever thought possible! read more

Checked the Yelp reviews for AthletiCo on E Chicago AFTER I completed 2 weeks of 6 for the treatment of: (1) Pain Management/Chronic Pain - Coccydynia and LL Back; (2) ROM & Strength Training - R/L Knee. Post Bilateral High Tibial Osteotomy w/micro-fracture, bone graft; (3)ROM & Strength Training - R/L Knee. Post Bilateral Total Knee Replacement w/arthroscopy, removal of hardware. I was REALLY surprised to find that this facility was so highly recommended by the patients who took the time to review it. I generally don't like to write negative reviews, but after browsing thru the countless accolades about this place, my input is warranted. My surgical history has lead me to seek rehab thru various physical therapy options - I've tried VNA, Outpatient and Inpatient treatment. I was directed to AthletiCo by Northwestern (NMH) (Dr. Puri, Orthopedic Surgery, and after 2 semi-successful ganglion nerve blocks, by Dr. Katz, Oncology, Anesthesia & Pain Management). Along with the 2 referrals for PT covering 6-weeks @ 3X week, I was given an AthetiCo brochure and a sheet containing their facility locations. An interesting note - both departments had stacks of AthletiCo pamphlets inside the patient exam rooms. During my initial AthletiCo consult, Lindsay took my paperwork, surgical history and gave me a verbal 'House Rules' etiquette to follow. ALL STANDARD. The visit finished with a gait analysis and a few VERY BASIC exercises. This was the ONLY appointment that Lindsay and I worked together throughout the session. The following appointments consisted of an initial warm-up set with an assistant, a 10-15 minute period of stretching and sacral manipulation with Lindsay (who then proceeded to work with her next client while she referred me to one of the group of assistants, students, whoever, who lacked knowledge, had trouble interpreting the patient flow sheet, which they had to recheck with Lindsay on, and did not set-up and monitor the exercises properly) and terminating with cold therapy and stem (electrode pads incorrectly placed on lower to mid back). My final visit (2nd week) was the same scheme. Warm-up with assistant, 10-15 minutes with Lindsay, remainder of the session with one of the lesser trained staff. When it came time for stem, the assistant fumbled with the electrode contacts - she even asked ME where to place them! She walked away forgetting to turn on the equipment on also forgot to apply a cold pack to my lower back. I waited for 10 minutes for her return. She said "OK - You're done". I informed her she hadn't conducted stem or cold therapy and I'm done? All I got was "Sorry." I went home and called the manager, informed him of the occurrence and expressed my dissatisfaction with the process of treatment that day. Also, because treatment was not complete, I asked to be credited for the incomplete care (stem, cold pack, interpretation of exercises). I told him the Dr. Katz had explicit instructions for stem written on his referral order for pain management. I told him about the soreness and that no ice had been applied to the inflamed site. He told me the company bases itself on customer satisfaction; however he did not make any effort to accommodate me. The bill came and I was charged in-full for the bungled incomplete visit. In the least, a credit or other arrangement should have been provided. My above account may not be the norm for my opinion is not in agreement with what the majority is saying. I do however have a point as to the GENERALIZED service provided by AthletiCo on E Chicago. I am a certified personal fitness trainer, so I could easily spot the inaccurate exercise technique provided. I have had trauma to my back, coccyx and both knees. I have gone thru 7 surgeries, all requiring physical therapy, in 3 states over the last 6 years. From this experience, I have received awful and outstanding treatment. At AthletiCo, what I found was nothing more than any of the countless AVERAGE rehabilitation centers driven by the bottom line, drawing in as many patient's possible, fractioning the one-to-one expertise with lesser qualified personnel to complete the job. read more

Six weeks ago I tore my rotator cuff. Bummer. Of three opinions from orthopedic surgeons, one said surgery and two for waiting. I went to Athletico on Chicago Avenue and was paired with Lindsey Cullen as my therapist. She worked wonders and my shoulder feels as good if not better than before my accident. She is extremely knowledgeable and also enthusiastic which is important when the muscles start to burn, and you want to stop. Thank you Lindsey, and thank you Athletico for all the equipment. read more

I've been an athlete my whole life and I travel over 100,000 air miles a year. I was on a flight from Moscow to ORD in a lucky last standby seat. (albeit next to the restroom). Well on my long 14 hour journey that I could not sleep (I know a lot of background) I apparently got a pinched nerve behind my left leg which precipitated me not to be able to wear heels (my ankle rolled, non-stop when I did). BIG ISSUE. It took MRI's and an EMG to confirm. I started going to Athletico and I must say this place is heaven on earth. My PT is Alexa and she is INCREDIBLE. She not only attempts to un-pinch my nerve with hardcore massage therapy, but also with very targeted ankle movements to build up my strength around the injured area. She is very knowledgeable and is driven to get my issue resolved quickly and correctly. This location is filled with really kind and fun PT's of which all work together and don't mind pitching in on a client if needed. If you have an issue and require a PT, you must come to this Athletico and you MUST request Alexa. If you can't get her, get someone at this location, you will be back in shape in no time! read more

This place is AMAZING! Initially, I went for physical therapy and when that was over I decided to start working out with one of the trainers, Derek Nielsen. His credentials are outstanding and he is continuously educating himself. He listens to what I would like my results to be and adjusts our workouts to fit those needs. He makes me want to work out. This is unusual for a trainer. I highly recommend them and him. read more

Referred here by a doctor. My initial eval was rushed, but the attention and care by the two therapists I worked with was phenomenal -- Hima (Phys Therapist) and Andrea (massage therapist). They make up for the cons of this place. read more
