Experience expert physical therapy in the heart of Chicago at Athletico Loop: Jackson & Franklin, where busy professionals and active locals receive personalized care for pain relief and injury recovery—whether you’re commuting on the “L,” running the Lakefront Trail, or exploring Millennium Park.

In Chicago, life moves at a fast pace—whether you’re catching the “L” to work downtown, running along the Lakefront Trail, or braving the unpredictable Midwest weather. From winter’s icy sidewalks to summer’s lively festivals, our city’s energy keeps you on the go. But when pain, injury, or nagging discomfort slows you down, it can make even the simplest activities feel overwhelming. That’s where physical therapy comes in. At Athletico Loop: Jackson & Franklin, we help you get back to the Chicago life you love—whether that means walking pain-free to Millennium Park, playing pickup basketball at your neighborhood court, or simply taking the stairs at work with confidence.

Personalized Physical Therapy for Your Busy Chicago Lifestyle

Chicagoans know how important it is to stay active, especially with so many opportunities to explore the city on foot, bike, or public transit. But injuries, chronic pain, or everyday wear and tear can make it tough to keep up. Our expert team of physical therapists—each holding a DPT license—understands the unique challenges locals face, from IT band tightness after a long run by Lake Michigan to shoulder pain from shoveling snow in January. We offer a full range of PT programs and manual physical therapy techniques designed to address:

  • Back pain treatment for those who spend hours at a desk or commuting
  • Sports injury recovery, including rotator cuff stretches and exercises for shoulder impingement syndrome
  • Knee pain and PT exercises for knee arthritis to help you keep moving, no matter the season
  • Rehabilitation for plantar fasciitis, sprains, and strains from city walking or running
  • Dry needling and hands-on rehab therapy for stubborn muscle discomfort

We know you’re looking for “physical therapy near me” or “ortho physical therapy near me” because you want care that fits your routine. With our convenient Loop location, top rated physical therapy is just steps from work, home, or your favorite Chicago coffee shop.
