Athletico Physical Therapy's Online Review Report Card

When I began PT with Lauren for recovery from a broken elbow, I was starting from a place of limited mobility and range, and was instructed to lift no more than 1 lb. for several weeks. Because of my current job (bartender) and lifestyle (former dancer, currently active), I was highly invested in making as full a recovery as possible. One of the things I loved most about Lauren was that, from the start, it was clear that she was also invested in helping me progress as far as possible with healing. From a place of collaboration, active listening, robust knowledge, and warmth, Lauren became a trusted partner, guide, and expert in my healing journey. Each session, she was sure to listen carefully and remain engaged as I described my physical experiences (pain, feedback on exercises I'd been given, etc.). She was intentional about asking where my body was at the beginning of each session and allowing my response to inform the direction of our time together - which meant some days involved more manual/massage work, some more assessment work, and others more physical/strength building work. I always felt like, whatever we were doing, I had the space and autonomy to ask questions, give voice to my physical experiences, and share what did/did not feel right in my body. In our work together, Lauren not only provided her own brilliant level of expertise and knowledge, she not only described the purpose and function of each exercise in a way that was easy to understand, but she also trusted me as the expert on my own physical experience. It truly felt like a partnership in which both of us were invested in our success. Today, I have returned to all standard day-to-day activity, have regained virtually all range of motion, and find myself thinking less and less about my elbow or favoring it. I live an active lifestyle, balancing two jobs, internship, graduate school, and social activity, and being able to do so with growing confidence in my body's ability to sustain is not only a physical relief, but has also resulted in reduced stress and anxiety, which was pretty high following my injury. If having an active voice and role in your own healing; receiving information that is compassionate, clear, and informative; or finding a safe space to work with someone who is equally invested in your progress is important to you, then I'd say the least you should do is have a chat with Lauren (or many of the other A+ folx at this location). We've only got the one body, and I feel so grateful that Lauren took as much care with mine as she did.

It's been a great experience at this location. Every staff member is profesional, welcoming, patient, and provided support when needed. They all know what they do and am pleased with their service. Ask for Lauren, or any other member will definitely restore your movements as they have done with me.

Kristine is an excellent therapist. Very focused on my issues at the same time very caring and personable.

Lauren and Olivia have been amazing, I've definitely felt an improvement in my back, less discomfort and more strength.

I continue to get excellent care at the Rogers Park (Loyola) Athletico since starting physical therapy in August. I credit the progress I have made, and continue to make, to the outstanding staff. The atmosphere at the at the Rogers Park (Loyola) Athletico is collegial, upbeat, and encouraging -- which makes even the most challenging PT sessions not just bearable, but enjoyable! I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for skilled, creative Physical Therapists and support staff.

Good vibes throughout 🤟🏻🤓

Luke and Ashleigh are absolutely amazing. My new knee is feeling spectacular.😁😁

Love this Place and my PT specialists Kristine and Olivia? They don't make it easy but I'm doing better every day! Thank you!

I've been very happy with the P/T sessions that's helped reduce pain and increase mobility to my shoulder/arm. Kristine and Luke have been wonderful. Highly recommend.

Such a great facility with wonderful people! Luke and Carlo are both amazing and Haley was super friendly. My jaw stopped popping for a while after just the second visit!
