I cannot speak more highly of the care I received at this location, and the expertise of the entire staff that works at this location. I was Caitlin's patient for over two years, and even though there was an Athletico facility literally across the street from me on Jackson Blvd, I walked twice a week to the South Loop location because the care and treatment I received were exemplary, and it was definitely worth the walk. The facility is outstanding, very clean, and I never had a problem with anything/anyone during my 2 year treatment. In my opinion, Caitlin is a MASTER of physical therapy and healing, and one of the reasons I am able to still snowboard at 51 years old. I enjoyed coming to see her and was always treated with the best care and attention. The amazing program, attention, and compassion I received from Caitlin, the staff, and everyone at this location is truly a blessing to me. I would follow Caitlin wherever she goes, and will always be a strong supporter of Athletico in general. This location ROCKS! Thanks to all in the South Loop Athletico who made my snowboarding dream possible! You all are amazing! Kyle read more

Thank you Kate for helping me with pelvic floor muscles therapy. It's a really nice and chill place and it's close to Chinatown so you can get food afterwards. The staffs are all very friendly and environment is clean and quiet read more

Came in for some pain in my hip with only a month and a half left to run the Chicago marathon. I worked with Josh twice a week and with his guidance I was able to run the marathon with no pain to my hip. Josh thanks a million! read more

Reception staff efficient and friendly. My therapist (Josh) put me on a program for treatment of a shoulder problem. Progress monitored and exercises added as needed. Home use exercises insured continued strengthening of treated area. Would highly recommend this facility if physical therapy is needed. read more

Josh was my PT, on my first visit he assessed my medical problem and we discussed a plan to improve my physical health. On appointment days we reviewed my home assignments and talked about any problems which occurred along with solutions. He is an excellent professional with a great personality and has good people skills. Josh is a motivator who is not pushy. I would use Josh's services again and would recommend him to others. He provided me with a home exercise plan which I currently use now. Thanks Josh for your help. John read more

I had bunion surgery one year ago, and I never thought I would be able to walk like normal again. I had a significant limp and lots of stiffness even several months after my surgery date. I could hardly bend my big toe back. That's when I had a conversation with my podiatrist about writing me a prescription for physical therapy, and I chose this Athletico location. I was assigned to Kaitlyn Worth, a therapist with several years of experience under her belt. From the first appointment, she gave me great care. She was gentle with her manual therapy and always had something different for me to do in terms of physical activity at each appointment so I wouldn't get bored and would strengthen all of my muscles instead of just a select few. I didn't expect to need physical therapy for 7 months. But, the bunion surgery has been a long road for recovery. I will continue working at home with some of the exercises I learned from Kaitlyn! I thank her so much for being able to help me feel much more closer to normal now. Now that I'm done with physical therapy, I will kind of miss going to Athletico! It became a part of my routine for a while! I'd highly recommend going to this location for your physical therapy needs. read more

After being diagnosed with TMJ, I was instructed to seek out a physical therapist. I was recommended to Athletico and selected the South Loop branch based on proximity to my home. The staff was really kind over the phone and in person. They are all super helpful and lovely. My therapist was/is Caitlin. She's super helpful, kind, and has an amazing personality. She makes physical therapy bearable, maybe even enjoyable. Caitlin is amazing at what she does, highly recommend seeking her out if you are diagnosed with TMJ. read more

no way...how am I the first to review this awesome place??! and how did I not review earlier! Tore my acl at age 13, finally at 32, decided to have it repaired...Colleen Hanlon is the best. She knew I was into cycling and that I loved basketball. I told her to be tough on me and she whipped me not only into the best shape of my life, but got my knee back so I was running and playing basketball 6 months after, I ended up doing my first triathlon less than a year after. She only works part time and you have to be flexible on the hours, but trust me, she is worth the wait. On a side note, I did rehab with a few others and everyone here is fantastic! read more

I recently had surgery to repair the ligaments and tendons in my ankle. After several months in a cast I was feeling very down about my situation, worried about the pain I was experiencing, and nervous about starting rehab... these worries proved to be unfounded. Danielle B., and all of the staff, at Athletico has been great to work with. Each day I went in Danielle listened to my concerns and we were able to work out a plan that not only got me back on my feet, but gave me a bit more confidence and put me at ease during the process. The staff at this location is always friendly. It makes an incredible difference when someone not only remembers your name, but takes an interest in your well-being. They definitely put their patients first here, and should I ever need physical therapy again, I will be calling Danielle. read more

They did a great job of providing Physical Therapy services and through their coaching I have fully recovered from what was initially a very scary injury. For this I am extremely grateful. However, their billing practices are underhanded. I was told all services provided would be covered by my insurance, and that I could simply pay my copays and all would be fine. And yet, a year later I began receiving bills for nearly $400. Their collections staff must be very highly paid, because I am now regularly harassed via mail, phone and email. Avoid this evil company. read more

Did you know Athletico does massages?! For people that don't necessarily need physical therapy? They do! The South Loop's massage therapist Jordan is fantastic. His massage/getting a massage from a physical therapy approach was great. There was no pressure to relax and we were able to have an actual conversation about the body and how it works, how dancer's bodies work, etc. Prices are incredibly reasonable too! An hour massage was only $65. I definitely recommend Jordan for performers that are looking for a massage. I will be back. read more

After breaking my wrist, I was in need of a physical therapist to recover my mobility. The South Loop location made it easy for me to schedule appointments. My therapist, Margaret, has done an outstanding job restoring my wrist mobility so I can resume my normal activities. She has been extremely helpful in providing exercises that I could perform at home to expedite my recovery. I found the staff to be very friendly and a great team and want to says Thanks to all of them. Nina T. read more

I have gone for PT to this location on Archer for three different injuries/situations. I highly recommend the PTs -- I have worked with Nathalie, Caitlyn, and Kaitlyn. I have also found the scheduling and reception staff to be warm and helpful. Staff have also been flexible and welcoming when I have had to bring my young child to an appointment. I recently also scheduled a massage when I didn't have a PT prescription but needed help in maintaining my at-home routine, and the massage therapist Justin was FANTASTIC. He was respectful, really understands body mechanics, used perfect pressure, and I felt great for several days afterwards (which is a lot more than I can say for most massages). read more

I can't say enough about the great support I recieved from my therapist, Kate. She got me moving. When I first started therapy with her I was in so much pain. Kate worked me vigorously and now I can function with relatively NO pain. Kate is the best. I also would like to thank the entire staff at South Loop Athletico, they made me feel welcome. I would highly recommend the South Loop Athletico location and Kate for your therapist. She exceeds expectations. read more

I had the pleasure to have #kellibarton as my therapist....she was very nurturing, giving, supportive, and justjust as driven as I was/am to continue my process to heal from breaking my ankle in April....I will be indebited to her and the entire team for giving me the boost to keep going even when it was difficult in mind to do an exercise... read more

After taking a fall on the streets in September, I finally made my way to Athletico. My PT was Nicole, who is just wonderful. She's an excellent listener and took the time to learn about my pre-fall exercise routine and design a program to get me back in to the swing of things. Nicole pushed me when I needed pushing and sent me off with homework to ensure I made rapid progress. The results speak for themselves - I'm back to walking 5 plus miles daily, doing pilates and being tortured by my evil trainer. Athletico also has massage services and Liz is just wonderful. I saw her while I was wearing the much-dreaded walking boot and she was able to relieve a lot of the pain and soreness I felt from being somewhat unbalanced. Prices are very reasonable. read more

I recently broke my ankle and part of my recovery is physical therapy. The South Loop Athletico is a super convenient location so I decided to check it out. I've never had PT before and for whatever reason I was very nervous about going. Danielle B was very kind and understanding. She calmed my fears and put me at ease. She thoroughly explained my injury and what we'd need to do for recovery. Since my injury is my right foot, I cannot drive. They told me that they have a an arrangement with a cab company and the cab service picks me up. The service is free of charge to me. This is an outstanding service. They are a very professional team, but friendly at the same time. Side note that has nothing to do with PT-- some employees are taking time to organize events to raise money for children's charities... I like using organization with people willing to give back. read more

The South Loop team has been helping me gain strength and balance through Achilles and knee problems since the spring. This is an exceptional team, very professional and skilled. It is a well managed practice; accommodations are always "doable" to meet the patient needs. Highly recommend without reservation. read more

I have had mobility problems due to herniated discs aggravated by a bumper to bumper accident. I was extremely cautious about my moving about in my day to day activities. My PT was Kelli, who was knowledgeable and attentive to my condition. If you are like me who requires a full explanation of the exercise's mechanics and how it works on the body, she will explain everything in detail yet keeping it interesting. She is very encouraging and upbeat to work with. Kelli went out of her way to go the extra mile. My body feels better all thanks to her attentive care. read more

The South Loop Athletico (19th and Archer) has been a lifesaver. I broke my femur two years ago and started PT for the healing. Caitlin is an excellent therapist. She is patient, understanding yet tough enough to show true change. I also appreciated the fact that she keeps In contact with the surgeons and doctors as well joining in for doctor visits. In fact all of the Therapists (Natalie and Kaitlyn) that I have encountered at this location are excellent. I have also been in therapy for chronic lower back and shoulder pain. To assist in all of these ailments I also have done work with pain management (Kaitlyn) as well as Vertigo and TMJ with Caitlin. They excel in all of these fields. Their understanding of the exercises that help the healing process is amazing. I also have scheduled Massages with the massage therapist... Justin. He is the best massage therapist I have ever encountered. His understanding of body mechanics is amazing. On top of all this they also are really great people. read more

Natalie is great - even though she pushes me to meet my goals. My doctor was impressed with her report and recommendations. He said: "I like how she works. ". (Had a knee replacement. ). Yesterday because of the rain I was having a really bad day and did not want to go to pt. Or I planned to just walk out if it was too painful. I told Natalie and she gave me a heating pad, a massage and then worked my surgical knee with just the right amount of "torture" for me to pass my previous numbers. What a difference I felt leaving my session than what I felt going in. read more

From day one I was greeted from my PT Kelli Barton. She showed great enthusiasm and knowledge. Kelli was cautious with my therapy and made sure I performed every exercise/stretch correctly! She is very helpful and answers any question! I have nothing negative to say about her, or this facility. I was treated with great hospitality from the staff and from Kelli. I recommend this location for anyone who is ordered to do physical therapy and I recommend Kelli Barton as a PT. read more

I had a shoulder/neck pain that was not going away. I was fortunate to have Nicole, Emily, and Danielle all bring me back to full strength and no pain, with Nicole as my main therapist and Emily and Danielle filling in. Each therapist has their own unique style and all were effective. They truly care about healing you and we were able to finish earlier than expected. They are all very sincere and the facility is a very comfortable place to focus on your healing. I am truly in their debt! read more

My ortho doc recommended Athletico to help me recover from tendonitis in my foot/ankle. Being in the health care professions myself, I was skeptical that I really needed physical therapy. From the first day, Nicole, my main P.T. was professional and relaxed with me. She made me feel comfortable and assessed me and started me on a program that worked fast. I made great improvements within 5 sessions. I needed to end my treatment a week earlier than anticipated and she was accommodating and very helpful with exercises that I could continue on my own. She gave me her email and also said that I could call if I had any questions. I do not want to forget to mention,Danielle, who took very good care of me as well when Nicole was off. The whole staff there is wonderful and if I ever need physical therapy again, I will definitely come back to them! Thanks to all of you! P.S. They also have free parking which is a added plus in the South Loop! read more

I have chronic pain mostly in my thoracic and cervical spine. It's likely a life long rutt from my Crohn's disease. Natalie was my third physical therapist in 4 years. Long story short it's difficult for a person like me to be interested in physical excursion but, she did it with flying colors. Even though I'll never be pain free I continue to use the tips and tools she thought me. To top it off her and her colleagues create a pleasant atmosphere. read more
