Success Stories
PATIENTS
“My experience of therapy was clearly enhanced by the spirit of the entire staff at Athletico. It was obvious to me that the staff members worked as a team, got along, and were friendly and helpful, not only to clients but to one another, as well. For me, the positive tone seen in the staff was a great supportive background for me as I was going through the rigors of therapy. Coming in for my sessions, I was always greeted like an old friend! It is with a sense of joyful pride that I can say that I did achieve my goal. I do have my life back.” – Sr. M. Barbara Ann Bosch
“I now am pain free. I can run five miles without pain. I thank the support, knowledge and information that Mr. Sean Campbell from Athletico New Lenox provided this Tri Mom.” – Melissa Nakos
“It has been only a year and a half since the accident, and I have made somewhat of a miraculous recovery. I owe so much of my success to the team at Athletico. They really know what they are doing, and they have heart and passion behind their practice, as well.” – Madeline Lubenow
“Kevin at Highland Park was instrumental in my recovery and helped me get back to running and in record time. As a matter of fact, I was feeling so good that I decided to fight the aging process and my protesting body, and I signed up to run the Chicago Marathon.” – Jolene Moore
“Unlike previous physical therapy facilities, at Athletico I received personal one-on-one therapy. This has helped tremendously with my rehabilitation on my knee. I now have hope of a good recovery and better mobility in my knee, instead of giving up like I was going to do if I stayed with the other physical therapy facility.” – Debra Lavazza
“On the day that I graduated from my therapy my husband took me out to dinner at the mall. After dinner, I decided to test out my new knees and asked to walk the mall. Needless to say, I did just that. With tears of joy I realized that my quality of life has improved 100%. I can’t thank Caleb enough for giving me the ability to walk again.” – Stella Beagle
