Misty Drane 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I did six weeks of physical therapy with my Athletico team prior to my ACL surgery and I’m wrapping up my 12 weeks of post-operative therapy. I cannot say enough good things about the entire team. I’ve worked with almost all the therapists (Ben, Carlos, and Emma) throughout my journey and they are all knowledgeable and great at what they do for their patients. They know how to challenge you to help you achieve your goals but are also patient when things feel a little too challenging. They bring individualized care and positivity to the healing process.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, great facilities and professional staff. Highly recommend this business.

Angela Tovarez 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend coming here for any physical therapy. The whole staff is friendly and ready to answer questions. I went to two other PT for my pain and left with minimal relief. Finally with Paul, I was able to personalize and adjust my recovery plan as needed. He checked in with my condition each visit and adjusted what we did based on my condition. I also appreciated that staff were also open to learning new ways to help patients recover rather than only sticking to old practices. The staff here has so much to offer patients, anyone that wants to remember their recovery in a positive light would benefit from going to this practice.

Fantastic experience: Overall exceptional service! I have been working with both Emma and Ben and they are very friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and professional. They listen to my concerns and help me continue to challenge myself throughout my recovery.

Linda Kumet 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve had both knees replaced, one in July, and the other one the end of October. I am so grateful that I found AthletiCo physical therapy to help me with my recovery. Paul, Emma and Carlos at this location all understands what I’m going through as a patient. They’re gentle, kind, and somehow still manage to beat the hell out of me! I’ll kidding aside, I truly recommend this particular location. You won’t be sorry.

Robert Baysore 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: If I could give 6 stars, I would! I’ve been going to Athletico for about 2 months now for back pain from a recent accident. The personnel there were really understanding and helpful on treating my back pain. I have been feeling much better and owe a great thanks to all the friendly staff at this facility for my recovery! Thank you!

Janeen Sinclair 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: In my opinion best Physical Therapy in Tucson, AZ! They listen and get you back to normal. I have been to Physical Therapy many times throughout my lifetime and never have I had therapy that really worked. Emma is my favorite therapist bar none.

Alicia O'Campo 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Walking in before surgery I was welcomed by a great receptionist. I was so scared to start the process of healing from a shoulder surgery but the staff here is super awesome. Carlos, Ben, Emma really pushed me out of my comfort level and I’m glad they did because my recovery is getting better everyday. I am so blessed to have a team that really cares about the individual and their process to getting back to daily life. Many thanks to you all for what you’ve done. Please consider to join this team in your healing process you won’t be disappointed.❤️

Kate Christensen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Athletico at Rita Ranch. I experienced a high level of professionalism, knowledge and expertise consistently - from the front desk to all treatments. They have helped me heal after an auto accident and regain functionality. Having been a fitness instructor for over a decade I can say do not hesitate to trust their care. Bravo everyone, and many thanks!

Beth Glaude 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I had surgery on my broken ankle, I felt like I would never walk normally again. Paul and Carlos were so knowledgeable and kept the atmosphere fun. If you ever need PT, definitely go to Athletico.

Cheri Benson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After seeing three physical therapists with zero results, I almost gave up until I came here. This crew got me to 100%! Super nice people. I highly recommend this crew.

Ruth Amsbaugh 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Paul listened well, and presented clearly how my muscles are supposed to work, and how he was going to check them. I understood his suggestions for exercises. This was a positive first visit; everyone who dealt with me was courteous and professional.

Augustus Schneider 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here weekly for the past 6 weeks and I’ve seen great results so far! Paul really helped me learn to target my pelvic floor correctly. I felt no awkwardness towards my pelvic floor issue with the staff and they were always so welcoming. Highly recommend! -Jesse Davis

Destiny Mackel-Coffaro 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was a patient of Paul’s, and still am off and on. He is an incredible therapist got me back to my daily activities and feeling normal again. He’s helped me with multiple different body parts and pain I’ve had; from pelvic floor, to my hips and knees, to my TMJ and shoulder. He’s always willing to answer my numerous questions whenever I have them. I will always recommend him to anyone I know who needs PT. THANKS PAUL.

Carol Young 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The therapists at this location were great. I had no injury or cause that I could contribute to my pain. They listened to me and explained the probable problem. After 3 visits and daily exercises that they gave me to do at home, I was already feeling 95% improvement! I worked with Paul and Carlos and it was always a fun and laid back environment.

Elizabeth Jacobsen 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I truly appreciate Ben, my physical therapist. He addressed my concerns and helped me to understand my condition,and helped to alleviate the pain in my knee. I will continue to do the exercises he taught me, so my knee will continue to become stronger. I thank the staff at this location too. God bless the staff at this clinic.

jen ed 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a great bunch of professionals! I felt welcome, I felt cared for, I felt like my health and recovery was their main concern. I really enjoyed the comradery overflowing in the common areas. Interesting conversation, the cooperation between the therapists was unlike anything I've experienced. Thank you so much again for your help. I hope we don't meet again anytime soon, lol, but I would definitely choose you!

Teresa Goddard 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Athletico for several months and have seen a remarkable improvement in my movements. In addition to the entire team being extremely knowledgeable, they are beyond friendly and personable. The entire staff makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I love going to this location.

Susana Arroyo 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have pelvic floor issues and when they sent me to Athletico Physical Therapy my life changed. I no longer have to go to the restroom every hour. I not only did exercise at the office but also at home. Paul and his staff are the best. They made me feel so welcomed since the beginning.

Barbara Teed 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've recently started coming for therapy here and so far each time I've been treated with respect, courtesy and friendliness. From my first appointment, Paul laid out options of how to treat my problems and answers any questions I have.

Hayley Acosta 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Originally started with Paul to close the gap due to my Diastasis Recti but got to know all of the staff really well. In a matter of a few weeks we were able to shrink my gap significantly. If it wasn't for a newer, non flexible job I would still be going if only for the laughs. The crew here is great, very clean and very respectful. It's a smaller clinic which I enjoyed, it makes it feel more personable. The front desk ladies are very attentive and really flexible. I wouldn't go anywhere else and look forward to the next reason I have to come in and get work done. Signed Sincerely, Salty Whiskers :)

Dave Eazer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great physical therapy... 4 weeks post total knee replacement surgery, making great progress! Not without some pain and hard work however, I am confident these therapists know their business!

Kay Davis 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was blessed by a friend telling me of her very positive experience. I am SO thankful I went with her experience and am doing my physical therapy with Athletico. The therapists are experienced attentive to how you are feeling and ask where they may need to focus more in an area. The interaction between the therapists is entertaining and makes you smile. My l last treatment was on July 8, 2022 and I cannot thank Carlos enough for showing me how I should walk and also how to walk using a cane. Those two corrections have been so beneficial with my pain, thank you Carlos!! Paul is attentive and always focused on my problem areas. The healing hands of Paul always calmed and cleared the problem area in my lumbar and leg. I also do my PT exercises daily with the benefit of relieving the pain. I can't say thank you enough to this facility. Last, but in no way least, the office staff are very pleasant and accommodating. Nothing but praise to the students that would be the individual providing my treatment on those occasions. I highly recommend Athletico as your treatment facility.

Eric Harris 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My name is Gerry Harris. I have been going to Athletico Physical Therapy for years for different injuries. I have to say by far the current staff (Kate - my therapist, Paul, Ben, Devon, and Office manager - Debbie) are awesome! They are very kind and helpful. The atmosphere is always positive. Kate is a great therapist. She is extremely helpful and professional.

R A C H A E L R E D M A N 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Paul Clark, DPT and his staff have been essential in my recovery post ACL reconstruction. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, from Debbie who runs the front desk to the PTA Amanda and all of the aides. I enjoy my visits and actually look forward to going to Therapy. Thank you all for being so wonderful! Highly recommend Athletico and this location in particular!

Melissa H 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this location(Rita Ranch) for about two months now. Initiatally, I was not thrilled about going to pelvic floor therapy. Apprehensive to say the least. Upon my first visit I was greeted by Debbie, lady at the front desk. She is always very friendly along with all the other staff. Paul, who does the Pelvic Therapy is patient and friendly as I have Cerebral Palsy which greatly attributes to spasticity in the area. I have to say in just a couple of months of going twice a week. I feel as though I have come leaps and bounds since I started. On a side note there is a great deal of construction in the area due the Houghton Road project. I am coming from work in the late afternoon and the office staff is always flexible when I have arrived late due to the longer commute. I highly recommend this location for all of your PT needs!

Yvonne Greer 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Paul Clark is my therapist at Rita Ranch. He is excellent and does a great job of helping me. The entire staff is very friendly and I feel that they really work as a great team together. Paul is a great multi-tasker as well. I must mention Debbie at the front desk as well. She is very nice and accommodating!

Tammy Woodson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Paul was great when I went in for help getting my vertigo under control. He thoroughly explained what was going on with my vestibular system and what he was going to do to get it working properly. Sure enough, with a couple of sessions, I'm back to myself again, and my balance is back to normal. Thank you, Paul! If you need Physical Therapy, Athletico is the place to go!

Saundra Russell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Everyone is professional and very friendly. The therapists are professional and attentive to your needs, they work hard to correct what ails you. Paul is excellent in assessing and evaluating all your needs for each visit and modifying physical activities for the day. All of the therapists and staff are exceptional in their care. Shout out to Damien, Katherine, Devon and Ben. They are all excellent and helpful in their care and I cannot forget Deanna welcoming you with a big smile while taking your temperature. This clinic is the tops. ‘THANK YOU’ to each of you!

Kar karm Lewis 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Athletico Rita Ranch offers exceptional physical therapy and a welcoming, professional atmosphere. Everyone greets you by name, shows genuine concern, and motivates your progress. From day one when Paul evaluated my sprained ankle, I felt as though he really listened and designed a program to meet my needs. Debbie warmly greets me and works considerately to accommodate my scheduling challenges. No matter which staff are supporting you, they are personable and create a positive, caring experience. I am blown away that less than two months ago I feared I would need surgery, and I was barely hobbling with crutches and a scooter. Now I am walking without a limp or pain, with significant range of motion restored. I am so thankful to Athletico Rita Ranch for their superior care, and I highly recommend them!

Michelle Koster 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I received quality care at Athletico Physical Therapy at Rita Ranch on Houghton Road! My therapist Paul was excellent; he listened to me as I described my limitations and tailored my therapy to address each issue. The staff was also excellent, and everyone was very friendly. An excellent team providing excellent service! Thank you!

Linda Herzberg 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff has been very helpful. They are very polite and cheerful and have been very supportive of me during my therapy. During these trying times they have been a positive influence in my life. Ben, the physical therapist I see has been especially helpful. He always does an excellent job explaining my therapy and takes the time to answer any questions I may have, as do other staff members. I consider them to be extended family.

Nita Ramsundar 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Paul and the team are incredible! I could tell they really cared about helping me with my neck and shoulder pain. Paul is also really knowledgeable about what he does and that shines through in each visit. Devin was super gentle and always a pleasure to talk to and Katie gave me one of the best massages ever! I highly recommend the Athletico Team at this South Houghton location!

Kathleen Knurr 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The therapists here are very personal. I have had Kathryn work with me for different issues for years. The other therapist are always available to help. Whenever I am referred for PT I tell my insurance company that this is where I want to go. I really appreciate the text reminder I get the day before my appointment. They also text me COVID19 procedure updates.

Ashley Cole 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about the staff at Athletico PT! Katie is my physical therapist, and she’s AMAZING!!! I’ve been going to Athletico since December 2020, and it’s been great. Not only is pain relieved with each session, but I also get to know the staff on a more personal level. The whole team is beyond wonderful, and I’m so glad to have worked with each member of this awesome team. Keep up the great work!

Jeffrey Brenden 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have zero complaints about this place. I came in with an injured shoulder and got a lot of help with getting rehabilitated. I did my PT sessions with Paul, but had interactions with a lot of other staff there. Everyone was real friendly, very professional, and genuinely interested in seeing progress in their customers. The environment was always relaxed and the facility was always clean. The sessions themselves were ideal. The sessions with Paul started off easy and gradually escalated into more challenging sessions. There was a lot of communication Paul and I shared that helped tailor the sessions to my needs. All in all, I highly recommend this place. I hope I never have to come back but if I do get hurt again, this will be my first choice.

Wayne Glembin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Athletico @ Rita Ranch. I suffered from a disc problem in my back which caused such pain I couldn't sleep, couldn't hard lie down. An MRI revealed the problem and I gave PT a try. The best decision I could have made - Paul and staff began a program of muscle therapy and exercise which began having positive results. It took about two months of 2-3 weekly but it has been a complete success. I can't thank them enough for the care they gave me and showing me how to continue to self-help.

gillian murphy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere promotes health. The staff work as a team and deliver excellent therapy. The staff is friendly and really good at what they do. There was diversity in the sessions which made it fun and interesting. The clinic is well stocked with toys to make therapy interesting and helpful. I had a wonderful experience at this clinic and highly recommend it to anyone needing physical therapy.

Emily Robinson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a college athlete, it was important that I could get back to where I was before my surgery and this staff, especially Kathryn, were AMAZING at helping me achieve that goal! I highly recommend this physical therapy place. You can tell they care about their patients and try to help make doing your exercises enjoyable. I loved it here and would definitely come back.

Jamie H 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Prior to Athletico, I had been referred to countless therapy facilities for neck pain. I wouldn't ever go. Honestly, I figured I could just Google my symptoms, and do some stretches on my own according to what I found. I felt like physical therapy was a waste of my time and money. That never did end up happening, and obviously, my pain worsened. Finally, I was referred to Athletico on Rita Rd, and I obliged. I've been going twice a week for the last six months or so, and I feel amazing. What is also great about this facility, is the people who run it. They are super friendly and very encouraging. Each therapist is knowledgeable and they all know each others client's. So, although I have a specialist assigned to me specifically, they all work together, ensuring that each client gets the attention and care needed. I look forward to my PT days. But, not only for the physical relief I get, but the great company as well. Thanks Athletico!!

Cindy Lynn 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff here are very professional and nice. They have helped me immensely after my car accident. Ben is always looking for different treatments to help me heal. My surgeons are very impressed with the range of motion I have been able to achieve do to his expert care. If you become a patient you will not be disappointed!
