Athletico – Milwaukee Eastside

As a traveling performer with a worker’s compensation claim, I’ve seen my fair share of physical therapists. The entire staff at Athletic is nailing it – organized, friendly, knowledgeable and having fun. I worked with Krystal (forgive my spelling?) and she did more for my injured hamstring in 3 days than other PTs had done in 6 weeks.
I would recommend this facility to any athlete, performer or plain ol’ civilian who needs to get back into world class shape.
Bravo, Athletico!

Really first-​rate professional PT clinic in an extremely convenient and comfortable environment. My shoulder issue was fully resolved. Great place for PT and great therapists (Lizzie was so knowledgable and helpful). Excellent!

After I broke my arm at the shoulder, my doctor referred me for physical therapy. I was extremely sceptical — how could a few hours a week be helpful? But, since I couldn’t open a soda can or button my coat without help, I was willing to try anything.
But Athletico made me a believer. Athletico on Downer Avenue is a short walk from my house, a good thing since I couldn’t drive for almost four months. They keep formalities and paperwork to a minimum, so I never felt overwhelmed with insurance claims or payment hassles.
Eight months after the injury, I have almost normal range of motion in my arm and shoulder. I found Athletico so comfortable and friendly. Tom Brice, the physical therapist I worked with, was excellent. At first, he was respectful and reserved, just about right for
someone 30 years my junior. But as we got to know each other, we enjoyed chatting and cracking jokes. He knows how to push without being pushy, a remarkable skill.
When I finished physical therapy, I joined a fitness center and Tom came by to give me
suggestions about how to continue improving my arm function. I really feel that Athletico is THERE for me. Tom Brice and Luis Rivera, the manager, both kept track of how I was doing. Tom not only encouraged me, but also challenged me, every session. They’re real pros. I hope you never need to rehab from an injury, but if you do, Athletico is top notch, and Tom Brice is a PT rock star!

Athletico really helped me out both short and long term. I had rolled my ankle skateboarding and was looking around for an elastic resistance band to work on stretching it out. After a fair amount of searching (online and by phone calls) it became apparent that this is not an easy item to replace in Milwaukee. I remembered walking past Athletico on my way to school and wondered if, just based on their name, they might know what I needed.
Did they ever! The receptionists themselves immediately knew what I was talking about and would have sold me this item on the spot but instead suggested I take advantage of their free consultations with Luis, one of their physical therapists. After an appointment the next day I had my equipment, an assessment of the damage/​problems (Luis really took into consideration my history of ankle injuries/​viewpoint about this.), and a clear set of instructions for working the ankle/​leg/​hip back to 100%.
Thanks Luis and thanks Athletico. I’m skating good as ever but next time I need to rebound from an injury fast, in a way that will last, I’m headed straight over to you.
