Athletico Physical Therapy - Lakeview East

"I had a great experience at this location for my MCL sprain. I worked with Mati and he helped me safely continue training for a half marathon and tailored each session specifically to my injury and goals. I felt supported, cared for, and confident leaving every appointment. All of the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Thank you Mati and Athletico!"

"I'm incredibly grateful for the outstanding care I received at Athletico. During my rotator cuff recovery, Danielle and the entire staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout my treatment, creating a supportive and encouraging environment from day one. They developed a personalized exercise program that was perfectly tailored to my needs and recovery stage. Each session, Danielle took the time to ensure I understood proper form and technique, which gave me confidence to continue my exercises at home and at the gym. Their expertise and genuine investment in my progress made all the difference in my healing journey. Thanks to their guidance and the targeted exercises they provided, I've regained strength and mobility beyond what I initially thought possible. I highly recommend Athletico to anyone seeking skilled, compassionate physical therapy care."

"I had a great experience at this location. Mati was a fantastic physical therapist who helped me recover from ankle surgery. You can tell that his main priority is doing whatever he can do to help the patient, rather than any external incentives. We worked together closely for 2 months and he was the main reason I progressed from not being able to walk to getting back active range of motion and actually working out the muscles that need development. Highly recommend him and this location. Did not get to know other staff as well but all were very friendly and welcoming."

"I had shoulder surgery and worked with Mati as my physical therapist three days a week for about six months. He was excellent throughout the entire process. Mati was knowledgeable, patient, and always took the time to explain what we were working on and why. He pushed me when appropriate but was also very mindful of my limits and recovery timeline. I saw real, consistent progress under his care and felt confident I was in good hands the whole time. I also worked with Dave on occasion, and he was great as well--professional, supportive, and clearly experienced. Overall, it was a very positive rehab experience, and I'm grateful for the care I received."

"I had a great experience at Athletico Physical Therapy in Lakeview East! I came in with neck and shoulder tension that was causing frequent headaches, and Heili and David were amazing to work with. They were professional, kind, supportive, and made every visit a positive experience. They really took the time to understand what I was dealing with. Thanks to their treatment, I feel so much better and my headaches have gone away. I'm so grateful for their help and highly recommend them!"

"I've been working with Heili at Athletico since my ACL surgery in September and have had such a great experience. Not only are she and the rest of the team experienced and knowledgeable in providing care for patients post-ACL, but she creates a friendly atmosphere that makes me excited to go to PT. She always challenges me while also meeting me where I am on any given day, is patient when I have questions, and encourages me to push myself each time. I would highly recommend this Athletico location to anyone seeking PT!"

"I highly recommend working with Mati. He was well-prepared for each session and gave me realistic expectations for achieving specific milestones with my recovery. With his focus on and expertise with strength training, my recovery went much more rapidly than I expected. I am now back doing all the activities I enjoy."

"All the staff here was friendly and helpful. It was my first time receiving physical therapy and I wasn't sure what to expect. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to draw Mati Arndt as my physical therapist. Mati's professionalism and deep knowledge was apparent from the start. He listened to my concerns with empathy and helped me set realistic goals and achieve them, explaining in easily understood detail why and how each exercise would contribute to my success. His positive personality and gentle manner were so encouraging as he measured my improvement every step of the six-week journey. And I was no exception as I witnessed his affirming and knowledgeable interaction with other patients. If you need physical therapy, you should check out Athletico-Lakeview East and ABSOLUTELY should ask for this young man by name!"
