What Physical Therapy Can Do for You

At Athletico Fort Wayne (Illinois Rd), we know that every person’s journey to recovery is unique. Whether you’re an avid runner dealing with IT band discomfort, a weekend gardener struggling with shoulder pain, or a busy parent seeking relief from plantar fasciitis, our physical therapists are here to help. Our PT programs are designed to get you back to the activities you love—pain-free and stronger than before.

We treat a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Back pain from shoveling snow or lifting kids
  • Knee arthritis aggravated by long walks or stairs
  • Sports injury recovery for athletes of any age
  • Rotator cuff strains and shoulder impingement syndrome
  • Plantar fasciitis and foot pain from those long park strolls
  • Post-injury rehabilitation after slips, falls, or sprains

Our licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) use evidence-based manual physical therapy techniques, targeted exercises, and education to help you understand your body and prevent future injuries. We even offer specialty services like dry needling and customized rotator cuff stretches, all tailored to your needs.
