Athletico Physical Therapy - Bucktown

"I received excellent care and guidance from Kate Summers as I worked to recover from a stress fracture. Kate's attention to detail and dynamic recovery plan got me back to running. I highly recommend working with Kate for any PT needs."

"After struggling with severe wrist pain and limited mobility in my dominant hand for over two years, I learned that three of my finger tendons had ruptured. This news was overwhelming, but I was fortunate to be referred to a world-class surgeon who recommended the APTIS prosthetic implant as the best solution for my condition. Post-surgery, my recovery was closely monitored by Mark Torres, an outstanding occupational therapist. Mark meticulously followed the protocol for the APTIS prosthetic implant, ensuring that my therapy sessions were tailored to my specific needs. His careful guidance and support were instrumental in my rehabilitation. The recovery process was gradual but steady. Mark's integrated approach to occupational therapy included exercises to restore strength and flexibility in my wrist. His encouragement and dedication kept me motivated, and I could see noticeable improvements week by week. Mark went above and beyond to ensure that I progressed according to plan, including attending my post operative appointment with the surgical care team and providing detailed progress updates on my recovery. Today, I am delighted to report that my wrist function has significantly improved. I can perform daily tasks like opening a can, turning a doorknob and typing on the computer with ease and have regained a level of independence I feared I had lost forever. In August - six months post surgery - I achieved a forearm plank in Pilates. I am immensely grateful to my surgeon, and to Mark Torres for his unwavering support during my recovery. Their combined efforts have made a remarkable difference in my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing similar challenges. If you are considering a prosthetic for the hand, trust in the expertise of a skilled surgeon and the comprehensive care of a dedicated occupational therapist like Mark Torres. Their teamwork and commitment to patient care can truly transform lives, just as they did for me."

"I attended PT on and off at Athletico Bucktown since 2021 and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The facility was always clean and ready to be used, the staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, and I always felt so comfortable there. I went in for three very different injuries in my time there and felt as though I was in the best hands I could be in. Jeremy helped me with calf, foot, and shoulder issues, Mark helped with an elbow injury, and Keyra with a knee injury that lead to surgery and recovery. Everyone I worked with always made sure that I had a full understanding of what I needed to do to help heal my body and also understand the progress I was making. I recommend this clinic to everyone whether you want an injury assessment or go there for PT/OT. I sent many of my coworkers there too and only heard great things!"

"I came here for a knee issue I was having and was very satisfied with my care and treatment. The staff are very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. My physical therapist (Connie) as well as her intern were both very knowledgable, friendly, and helpful with my treatment program. The purpose of each exercise was thoroughly explained and also demonstrated for proper technique. Overall I'm quite happy with the care I received and my knee feels a lot better."

"Had a great experience working with Jaclyn for physical therapy both during pregnancy and postpartum. She was knowledgeable and helpful in both stages and made it really easy for me to build a routine doing the exercises at home. After my pregnancy sessions, my lower back pain was significantly reduced and during the postpartum sessions she helped with c section recovery including scar treatment. Both Jaclyn and the full staff at this location were friendly and professional. Would absolutely recommend!"

"I had the best experience at this location! I needed physical therapy after I had surgery for a fully ruptured hamstring (water skiing accident, not a fun time). I was referred to Russell at Athletico in Bucktown, and he got me into his schedule immediately. I was in physical therapy for 6 months for my injury and the entire team was there for me every step of the way. Russell was extremely knowledgeable and his expertise was essential in my recovery. He took into consideration all of my goals for recovery (I'm pretty active and wanted a quick turnaround) and because of him I was able to get back to normal activities as quickly as possible. He was also very understanding and helpful when I had work conflicts and had to reschedule appointments week to week. Some of his teammates stepped in to continue my therapy when he was unavailable, and they did a great job exchanging notes to make sure my recovery plan didn't get impacted. Thanks to this team, I went from having a major surgery in July to snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains in January. I've had physical therapy at other locations for surgery recovery and sports related injuries in the past, and this was by far the best treatment I've received. Highly recommend Athletico-Bucktown!"

"Absolutely loved it. Came in post meniscus surgery and found an environment that not only promoted recovery but allowed me to be myself and enjoy my time at PT. Jackie, Malvika and Connie were all excellent but shoutout Connie especially fr fr. Also I miss Russell because he was great too. Can't recommend it highly enough. Hear they have some great new aides too"

"I had an amazing experience at Athletico Bucktown! I'm a runner and came in for an ambiguous lower leg injury - negative for a stress fracture/reaction but still no clear diagnosis. Connie was great at listening to what was wrong and getting me started on rehabbing it right away. I unfortunately wasn't able to run the 2024 Chicago Marathon like I had planned, but the disappointment was helped by knowing that every time I came to PT I was getting better. Even when Connie wasn't available, Jackie and Malvika were great at keeping me on track with my treatment and exercises. The environment in the clinic itself was always so fun and made it so that I genuinely looked forward to going in there. I joked with everyone that I hope I never have to go back, but if I do get hurt again I'll be coming to Athletico Bucktown."
