Physical Therapy in Chicago, IL

Achieve your Chicago fitness goals and enjoy active city living with Athletico River North (Wabash and Kinzie), where personalized PT services help locals recover from injuries, relieve pain, and stay strong through every Midwest season.

In Chicago, life moves fast—whether you’re catching the “L” on a brisk winter morning, enjoying a lakeside run in the spring, or rallying with friends for a softball game in Grant Park during summer. But when aches, pains, or injuries strike, even everyday tasks can feel overwhelming. The changing Midwest seasons, from icy sidewalks to humid marathon routes, put unique demands on your body. That’s why physical therapy is such an essential part of staying active and healthy here in the Windy City. At Athletico River North (Wabash and Kinzie), we’re passionate about helping you reclaim the movement and quality of life that Chicago living demands.

Understanding Physical Therapy for Chicagoans

Physical therapy is more than just a way to recover from an accident or sports injury—it’s your partner on the journey back to the life you love. Whether you’re dealing with nagging knee pain from climbing snowy stairs, or you’re an athlete sidelined with a shoulder injury after a pickup basketball game, our team is here to help you heal, strengthen, and prevent future problems. We see Chicagoans from all walks of life: runners training for the Chicago Marathon, parents carrying groceries up three flights, and professionals who want to stay pain-free at their standing desks.

Your Journey to Lasting Pain Relief and Mobility

Our approach at Athletico River North (Wabash and Kinzie) is built around you. From your first physical therapy appointment, our doctors of physical therapy (DPT license holders) listen closely to your needs. We partner with you to create a custom PT program, using proven techniques like manual physical therapy, ortho physical therapy, and therapeutic exercises tailored to your goals. We treat everything from IT band discomfort and plantar fasciitis to complex back pain and shoulder impingement syndrome, with personalized rehab therapy plans designed for real Chicago lifestyles.

  • Pain relief for back, neck, knee, and shoulder pain—so you can enjoy city walks or bike rides along the lakefront
  • Injury recovery after sports injuries, slips on icy sidewalks, or weekend warrior mishaps
  • PT exercises for knee arthritis and other joint conditions to keep you active, whatever the season
  • Specialized rotator cuff stretches and exercises for shoulder impingement syndrome
