Physical Therapy in Cincinnati, OH

Enjoying Cincinnati’s vibrant lifestyle—from cheering on the Reds at Great American Ball Park to hiking in Eden Park—made possible by expert physical therapy at Athletico University Square, helping residents recover from injuries and stay active year-round.

Living in Cincinnati, OH means embracing the city’s vibrant energy—whether you’re exploring the hills of Mt. Adams, cheering on the Reds at Great American Ball Park, or braving those brisk winter walks along the riverfront. But life in the Queen City also brings its share of aches and pains. From shoveling snow in the winter to long days at the office or training for the Flying Pig Marathon, Cincinnatians know how quickly an injury or nagging discomfort can get in the way of everything you love. That’s where physical therapy steps in. At Athletico Cincinnati (University Square), we’re here to help you get back to your active Cincinnati lifestyle—without letting pain slow you down.

Why Physical Therapy Matters in Cincinnati

Our city’s changing seasons mean your body faces different challenges throughout the year. Maybe it’s knee pain after hiking in Eden Park, stiffness from commuting downtown, or a sports injury from a pick-up game at Washington Park. Physical therapy offers a personalized path to pain relief—so you can move freely, whether you’re navigating icy sidewalks or enjoying a summer festival.

PT isn’t just about recovery; it’s about prevention and performance. Our skilled doctors of physical therapy (DPT) understand the unique demands of Cincinnati living. We use evidence-based PT programs and manual physical therapy techniques to help you:

  • Find lasting relief from back pain, knee arthritis, or plantar fasciitis
  • Rebuild strength and flexibility after a sports injury or surgery
  • Address shoulder pain, including rotator cuff issues and impingement syndrome
  • Improve balance and mobility for safer movement on Cincinnati’s hills
  • Reduce the risk of future injuries with targeted rehab therapy

Your Journey to Recovery Starts Here

When you walk into our University Square clinic (or connect with us through physical therapy online), you’re not just a number. We take time to listen to your story. Are you frustrated by that IT band pain keeping you from your morning runs in Ault Park? Or is shoulder stiffness making it tough to enjoy golf at one of Cincinnati’s many courses? Our team crafts a care plan tailored to your needs—whether you need ortho physical therapy, dry needling, or specialized PT exercises for knee arthritis or plantar fasciitis.

Here’s what you can expect from your physical rehabilitation experience with us:

  • Prompt appointments—often within 24-48 hours—so you’re not waiting in pain
  • Personalized evaluations by a licensed doctor of physical therapy (DPT license required for all our PTs)
  • Clear, practical education so you understand your condition and recovery steps
  • Hands-on manual physical therapy, therapeutic exercises, and cutting-edge techniques
  • Support for your goals—whether you want to return to sports, work, or simply keep up with your kids at Smale Riverfront Park
  • Flexible options: in-clinic, telehealth, or hybrid PT programs to fit your Cincinnati schedule
