Physical Therapy in Chicago, IL

Staying active in Chicago—whether running along the Lakefront Trail, commuting by bike, or enjoying parks with family—is easier with Athletico Physical Therapy in Rogers Park, where personalized PT helps residents recover from injuries and manage pain for a vibrant city lifestyle.

Chicago is a city that never slows down—whether you’re braving icy lakefront winds in winter, running along the Lakefront Trail in spring, or joining a softball league in Lincoln Park during summer. Our neighborhoods are filled with runners, cyclists, commuters, and parents pushing strollers through bustling streets. All this activity can sometimes lead to aches, pains, or injuries that keep you from enjoying the vibrant Chicago lifestyle. At Athletico Rogers Park (Touhy & Western), we’re here to help you stay active and pain-free, no matter what the city throws your way. Physical therapy is more than a treatment—it’s your path to a stronger, healthier life in the heart of Chicago.

Why Physical Therapy Matters in Chicago

Living in Chicago means adapting to the seasons—navigating icy sidewalks, shoveling snow, or getting back outdoors when the weather warms up. These changes can bring on everything from back pain and knee injuries to plantar fasciitis or shoulder discomfort. Maybe you’ve noticed a nagging ache after your last 5K along the lake, or you’re recovering from a slip during a snowy commute. Physical therapy can help you regain mobility, manage pain, and get back to your favorite activities—whether that’s climbing the L station steps or enjoying a family picnic in the park.

Personalized PT Programs for Your Unique Needs

No two Chicagoans are alike, and neither are their injuries or goals. Our team includes doctors of physical therapy (DPT) with specialized experience in manual physical therapy, ortho physical therapy, and sports injury rehabilitation. We work with you to create a customized PT program that addresses your specific concerns, from it band issues to rotator cuff stretches or targeted exercises for knee arthritis. Whether you’re seeking physical therapy for a sports injury, chronic back pain, or post-injury rehabilitation, our approach is designed to get you back to the life you love.
