Receiving expert knee pain therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy - North Loop in Chicago, IL, helping residents overcome discomfort and return to favorite city activities like walking along the Riverwalk or playing basketball at the lakefront.

Your Chicago Lifestyle—And the Challenge of Knee Pain

Life in Chicago is full of movement, from bustling commutes on crowded sidewalks to afternoons spent playing pickup basketball at the lakefront and winter strolls through Millennium Park. With our city’s ever-changing weather—icy winters, rainy springs, and humid summers—your knees work overtime, supporting you through every step, jog, and jump. But when knee pain strikes, even the simplest activities—climbing the L station stairs, exploring local festivals, or just walking along the Riverwalk—can become a challenge. At Athletico Physical Therapy – North Loop, we understand how knee discomfort can sideline you from the Chicago experiences you love. That’s why our Knee Pain Therapy is designed to get you back to your active, city lifestyle with confidence.
