Athletico Physical Therapy - Grand Rapids (Walker/Standale)

Fantastic experience: Michelle and team did a great job. I went for knee pain associated with running. I am currently pain free and feel a lot stronger. Plus you get a plant when you graduate!

Fantastic experience: The entire staff on Lake Michigan was so helpful and kind. Thanks for the great job helping with my heel injury

Fantastic experience: Michelle is very good. I had trouble walking and now walking is easier . The dry needling treatment helped a lot. I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Working with Madison has been a joy. I’ve spent a lot of time in physical therapy in the last 2 years, and Madison has made me feel comfortable telling her if something is too hard on me, but she is also able to push me beyond my comfort zone in order to achieve the results I’m looking for. My outcomes have been successful. If anyone asked me for a physical therapy recommendation, my first recommendation would be Athletico with Madison.

Fantastic experience: Very good place. Not only are they knowledgeable in what they are doing, they are very professional and kind. All the employees! Easy scheduling too!

Fantastic experience: I don't, as a rule, like PT, however my mind has been changed. This place is great.. the girls are very caring, friendly and professional. From the time you walk in until the time you leave you are made to feel welcomed and you can feel the concern for your comfort and rehab. If you need PT thus is a great place to go.

Fantastic experience: Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Athletico! The facility was always clean and the staff is the best- always so kind and you can tell they truly want to help you. I am so pleased with my results and the program and care I was given during my time here. I hope to not need physical therapy again but if I do I won’t be going anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: My therapist was Madison. I love her. She's awesome . She really was attentive and truly cared. She knows her job very well. Hi Madison

Fantastic experience: I've been going twice a week to this location and have always enjoyed my time there and gained helpful action steps afterwards. The staff are SO friendly and they go above and beyond to check in and help you make progress!

Fantastic experience: Lauren helped me more than she could know, for years I had issues with my back, more specifically after a c section. After the very first visit I was feeling better and able to sit again. She right away pinpointed my issues and helped me not only feel better but taught me how to actually help myself. That’s more than I can say for any treatment I have received in the past. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I find the girls at the Walker branch to be friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Lauren and the receptionist are amazing. I had a total knee replacement and started coming there two days later. Very clean, well-equipped, and great location. I've been getting stronger and recovering so much with their help and kindness.

Fantastic experience: Due to past athletic and martial arts injuries, I suffered through ever-increasing low-back and hip pain for a number of years. Finally, on October 10, 2022, I had enough and underwent L4/L5 back fusion surgery. Then, on January 10, 2023, I began a program of physical therapy with Madison Polen at Athletico PT. For the past 6 weeks, Madison and I have met two times a week to work on stretching and strengthening my lower back through various of exercises. The results of this therapy have been amazing, and I attribute all of this to the expertise, experience, and knowledge of Madison. She is an excellent physical therapist, but she is also someone who cares about her patients. She regularly asks me how my back is feeling when I arrive for my appointment, as well as throughout the hour of doing these exercises. She's right there with me as I work out, and helps me get the most out of each exercise. She also asks me about what my goals are and what I would like to work on to achieve them. This I really appreciate. I am extremely happy that Madison is my physical therapist, and as the gold stars above indicate, I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: I had such a positive PT experience at this branch and am especially thankful for Lauren's care and knowledge. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Madison is a great & the whole team is spectacular!

Fantastic experience: Lauren and Peggi are fantastic. Peggi does a fantastic job welcoming you and making sure you are informed of the costs and she makes sure that she schedules you at the most convenient time for you. Lauren is super informative and helps you understand exactly why you are doing each exercise. She makes sure that you are comfortable and having a great experience

Fantastic experience: Such a great team at the Standale location! I went there for a few weeks working on my elbow, and Lauren was so helpful + knowledgeable to help me get to my goals. Grateful for her work -- I'm feeling much better after working with her! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I went for PT on my foot. Staff is friendly and welcoming, great to work with. I am glad to be done with therapy but I’ll miss their smiling faces.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly knowledgable and friendly team at the Standale location. My first experience with PT, I went in for shoulder pain. Lauren taught me the importance of proper posture and the importance of strengthing other muscle groups. They walked me through effective daily exercises to strengthen target areas. After sticking to the daily exercise routine I noticed a big difference. I'd highly recommend Athletico for anyone in need of physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: Lauren and Madison are awesome! I saw them for my upper back and they were so helpful in getting to the root of my pain. They set me up for success so that I could continue on my own after discharge! I would recommend this clinic, and any athletico to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Lauren is fantastic as a physical therapist! She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things in an easy to understand way. I had such a great experience working with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience: I had very competent, professional and well trained staff. I was given useful exercises that progressed as my healing progressed. The facility was clean and well equipped for proper treatment. They had a friendly but no nonsense approach for my therapy. I'd highly recommend Athletico for anyone in need of physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I am very thankful for Lauren's help! She is personable, professional, and knowledgable as a physical therapist. I am so happy to be back to my normal self! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Rob and Peggi are great to work with. Helpful, knowledgeable...would highly recommend this facility.

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend this location for PT. Every single person I’ve ever worked with here has been absolutely wonderful. They’re genuinely caring, fun, and knowledgeable and I feel confident in the advice and care I was given. I’ve been to many PT locations in the past, and this one is definitely my favorite!

Fantastic experience: From the moment Peggy answered the phone, I was treated with friendly respect,service and knowledge!!! The entire check in, billing and check out process was handled with precision and accuracy! Thank you Peggy! Lauren and Madison were full of compassion and knowledge, helping me with my physical, emotional and mental needs throughout my injury. I learned so much from their "team approach" during treatment, and their commitment to help me excel with home exercises and learn different pain levels and how to manage my pain at home. The entire staff became "family" to me during my time in physical therapy at Athletico. I truly "looked forward" to my PT sessions - which is just not something anyone ever does! I will forever be grateful to this great team! Thank you all so very much! I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for an excellent Physical Therapy team to help them through their healing process!

Fantastic experience: I truly can't express what a timely blessing it was to receive care at Athletico. The past 3 months have been immensely empowering as the Physical Therapist, Lauren, helped me to gain wisdom on underlying weakness in areas of my body that were impacting other parts of my body. Through the at-home and in-clinic exercises, along with continued physical fitness on my own, my body truly feels the strongest it has been in years (after having 3 kids in 6 years!). Lauren and the receptionist Peggy also graciously accommodated when my children would attend my appointments with me. Not only did coming to Physical Therapy become a highlight in my week, but it also became a highlight in theirs. My knee pain has been eliminated by addressing hip and pelvis weakness and I now feel equipped to know exercises that will help to continue to strengthen these areas of my body. Listen to your body and check out Athletico! :)

Fantastic experience: The staff have been very welcoming and nice since I have started therapy here. They create personalized routines for me that have helped a lot. I leave my appointments very happy with the service I have been provided.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Athletico was nothing but positive! Desiree was always helpful in whatever capacity she was involved with, including making appointments, explaining billing or working with exercises. I was a challenging patient and Rob did an excellent job designing therapy both in the facility and at home to help me process with my rehabilitation. He made it his personal goal to help me succeed. I would recommend Rob without any hesitation! Both Rob and Desiree made me look forward to coming to therapy. Ginny

Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable. PT always seems better when your having a good time while getting your stuff done. This location is also very flexible and able to change the schedule when to when it works best for you. If you are looking for a place to complete physical therapy this location is great !

Fantastic experience: I went here twice a week for several months after tearing my ACL and meniscus. The entire staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and genuine and each person gets attentive care. I highly recommend coming here!

Fantastic experience: The staff and facility are wonderful. Rob is very knowledgeable and personable. Great atmosphere for therapy and conversations. Des got her goal of 20 pushups, so that's a big deal. Rob didn't get his pullups so he is a work in progress. But he will get there some day. But overall fantastic place!

Fantastic experience: I chose athletico when I tore my PCL. Rob is an excellent therapist with a lot of knowledge. The staff is all friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this location. Thanks again, Rob, Des and Caddie!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff, very knowledgeable... Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The staff were all welcoming and amazing to work with! I really appreciated how easy it was to fit PT into my schedule even when my schedule changed!

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Been there three times over the past years since it opened, and every time the issue was cleared up. I also appreciated the exercises learned to continue at home after completion of therapy. Rob, Desirae, and Tarah rock in their understanding of my individual physical self and insurance usage. Thank you Athletico for your Walker location and wonderful, knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: Came in for one of their free 30-minute complimentary injury consultations. I was experiencing some lower back pain from working out. I was able to schedule an appointment the same day I called with Rob, one of their therapists. The staff was very friendly and I got really great advice for stretching and future methods to prevent injury. I will definitely recommend to all family and friends that they go here if they are experiencing any pain.

Fantastic experience: I have been going for the last three weeks and Rob (trainer) and Des (receptionist) are both FANTASTIC! I love their entire team and feel like I am getting great treatment.

Fantastic experience: 10000000000% recommend this place. I’ve had my fair share of PT and Rob is the first physical therapist that I’ve had that actually cares about the patient getting better. Super friendly. New facility. Awesome receptionist (Dez!).
