Athletico Physical Therapy - South Des Moines

Experiencia fantástica: I did therapy here twice and would definitely go back. This time I worked mainly with Sara and James after my knee replacement. The therapists know their stuff and I felt supported in my healing. I highly recommend their services.

Experiencia fantástica: I experienced a weightlifting injury on my spine in early May and lost feeling in my leg. Devin, and his student, Christine, were professional and informative every step of the way, including before and after surgery. It was obvious from the start that they truly cared about my health and well-being. Every session, they pushed me to get better and my leg function has improved tremendously. As a busy working mom with little time to get into the office, they also provided me with the tools to increase my leg strength at home. I highly recommend Devin, Christine, and the Athletico team! Thank you!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have not had the best experience with other Physical Therapist, BUT, I have started going to Sarah at Athletico off of Sw 9th. And this is my 3rd appointment and she and the rest of the crew there are so wonderful to their patients! She takes time out to explain, and demonstrates how to do things and explains all to me. I will choose this place from here on out. Thank you Sarah F.

Experiencia negativa: The physical therapists seem to be shooting the sht with each other more than they're focused on you as a patient. They're also attempting to spread their attention between two patients at one time. You end up feeling like a third wheel. Call me crazy, but I think the patient who is there for their scheduled time should be the center of the PT's attention for that time. The exercises I was given are all things I could easily do on my own at home and didn't need to come in to do them. I would have appreciated more manual therapy considering how helpful it is to injuries and how insurance, for god knows what reason, doesn't cover it. But every PT should know how healing massage can be for injuries. These PTs just didn't seem to want to work too hard.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable staff. They listen to concerns and treat you like a human being. They don't treat you like income like most places I've been. Very friendly and engaging as well. If you are looking for sports injury or post-surgical PT, this is the place for you! I highly recommend them! Thanks for all your help on my post-surgical recovery Athletico South team!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is both very kind and super knowledgeable!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff are always friendly. I worked with a few different people and they were all knowledgeable and explained things well. They were able to give me things to work on at home to improve my condition. I would highly recommend them for anyone with physical therapy needs.

Experiencia fantástica: After back surgery, the professionals at Athletico (SW 9th in Des Moines) helped me successfully recover my stability, mobility, and strength. I really appreciate their friendly, caring, and dedicated attention to my needs.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was polite caring and helpful. They walked me through all the exercises and kept attention on my progress throughout each session and through the course of my rehab. I worked mostly with Devan and Erin. They also set me up to continue my work on my own. I am grateful for all their help.

Experiencia fantástica: Shout out to the whole staff here. James, Erin, Devin, Anna, Rachel, and the new ladies. Sorry I don't know your names. This place is awesome. I worked primarily with James and sometimes Erin. This place is upbeat, lively and very professional. The attention to detail when explaining why and what we were doing and answering the questions that I had was second to none. In the future if I ever need pt again this is where I will go and I would recommend it to everyone.

You won’t regret it!

Keep up the good work!

They all work together well and have a genuinely happy and positive environment for all of us dealing with painful injuries !!! Without their consistent smiles and encouragement many of us would be in a dark place. They are an awesome group of highly talented individuals that I am proud to recommend to anyone who needs physical therapy !!!

Experiencia fantástica: If you need physical therapy you really need to set that appointment with Athletico. They have everything you need. Attitudes are always positive and I actually have a fun when I go. I work with Devin and Erin. The BEST. Not only do I receive physical therapy but I always leave with a smile. When I am not really into it, Erin always pulls me back and makes me focus at the same time gigglin and jokin around giving me that positive vibe I need. Thank you all for everything.

Experiencia fantástica: I had some specific goals I wanted to achieve through PT at Athletico SW 9th Street. Working with the three therapists helped me achieve the goals and they were polite, respectful, and very knowledgeable. Helped me push myself to get to my goals and also helped me see the progress I made throughout my visits. A huge "Thank You" to Devin, Erin, and James who worked with me to get me back to enjoying life! Sue B

Experiencia fantástica: I have received therapy at Athletico South for 2 separate issues in the last year. I couldn't be happier with the care I received as a whole person, not just the injury.

You are a great team!

Experiencia fantástica: The coolest Athletico staff I’ve ever met :)

Experiencia positiva: I have to say I was very impressed with the therapy I received from Athletico on the Southside. I worked with Devin, Rachel and Errin and enjoyed my time there. They are very knowledgeable about the therapy I needed. I felt I could ask any question and receive a truthful response. Thanks for all the hard work you put into me. Charlotte Wyant

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Connor and the Athletico south team was amazing my injury was addressed in full detail not just the initial problem area my back hasn't felt this good in years I'm excited to get back into the gym and get back to the outdoors something I thought may never be possible again it was a good feeling knowing that they truly do want you to get better not just push you through truly an enjoyable experience

Experiencia fantástica: Rachel and Connor did an amazing job helping with my knee. I was unable to run even a block when I started working with them and can run 2 miles in a few months of work. They gave me the tools I needed to fully recover from an injury.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved getting therapy there everyone was really friendly, and helpful very encouraging, if I was to recommend a place for therapy this would differently be the place.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was very friendly. Did a great job accommodating my difficult schedule. Staff was always cheerful and fun to be around.

Experiencia fantástica: The team here at the sw 9th location are top notch. Very knowledgeable and very helpful in all aspects of recovery, pre, and post. I would highly recommend to anyone needing therapy

Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly and encouraging. I had knee replacement and was first with a different therapy group and it was miserable. Switched to the SW 9th location and was so glad I did. Highly recommend this group of therapists.

Experiencia fantástica: Kelsi R single handedly made a seemingly impossible recovery - POSSIBLE! The whole team is great and they continue to keep patients safe with COVID practices in place. Always looking forward to my next appointment!

Experiencia fantástica: 2 months ago I dislocated a knee and couldn’t do anything with it, I started going to pt and I remember being scared to even do a squat, now with my physical therapist Connor at Athletico in just 5 weeks I have healed 100% and I am beyond happy with my results! The south side athletico team is awesome!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I enjoy Connors professional attitude and his passion. He is allowing me to progress at my pace and I can see he cares about each person. Tony Andrews

Experiencia fantástica: I am so happy I went to this group of therapists! I am a much more informed caretaker of my body. My acute pain was addressed and forward thinking approaches were provided to prevent a similar type of injury in the future. THANK YOU, again, team at Athletico!

Experiencia fantástica: My name is Jake Smith and If i could leave a 100 star review I would. The staff here is very friendly and actually takes time to get to know you personally and truly cares about others wellbeing. I've come here for 2 different occasions, the 1st being minor and they took it serious and fixed me up while the other was after a nasty car accident and the highly skilled and trained staff helped me in unspeakable ways! If you ever need physical therapy on any level of severity, I highly reccomend this place!

Experiencia fantástica: After my recent C-section, I decided to be more intentional about strengthening my core and ensuring better healing from surgery. My husband recommended going here, since they just helped him with some sciatic pain. I had a great experience with Kelsi and was shocked at the depth of her knowledge and how well she explained the purposes of each exercise. I was further impressed that they didn't push me to come in for additional appointments, once I was in a good place. She happily printed out tons of exercises that I can do from home to save me money and allow more time to care for my kiddos (although I didn't mind a PT break every now and then) ;)

Experiencia fantástica: Exceptional providers that care about their patients, kind and knowledgeable in their field of expertise, and very good at getting you back to your regular tasks at an excellent pace.

Experiencia fantástica: The therapist’s do an amazing job of finding the proper low impact exercises to help strengthen muscles to get you back to yourself again. My main trainer was Devin Rode. He encouraged me to believe in my own strength to do exercises that got me back on my feet post surgery. I also want to throw in a quick thank you to Heather. I worked with her a few days. Her style of therapy was different from Devin’s yet just as effective.

Experiencia fantástica: Great overall experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I am trying to care for a parent from out of state and Bobbi made this process so much easier. She is amazing. My mom loved her therapist and is excited to be getting treatment at home.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are very knowledgeable and polite. Devin worked miracles for my constant arm pain. I will definitely return here if needed.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff all around! They really make it easy to work with your schedule, very helpful with billing, and everyone is very welcoming and kind. They’re great on checking your progress and getting you where you want to be!

Experiencia fantástica: Before I even start my review, I just wanted to say thank you to Kelsi and the Athletico team for all of their help. So this was my first time doing physical therapy and the reason I needed it was for my Tricep (Tricep Tendonitis and maybe a little nerve issues). I’ve had Tricep issues for the past 3-4 years and it’s limited my ability to not only doing Tricep exercises, but just utilizing it without random pain here or there. Kelsi, who was my main trainer for everything did a FANTASTIC job from start to finish for helping me with my issues. Kelsi was super easy to work with made sure everything was going OK. If I could explain physical therapy it would be the best “it hurts so good” as they teach you new techniques, exercises and stretches to help ease your issue, but you will really feel it when you first start. The only few critiques I would have are the following.. 1. Cost – pretty expensive overall, but your health is more than anything and my triceps issue was resolved so I would say it’s worth it. 2. One-on-one time. I’m a very one-on-one person and I’m someone who wants to make sure I’m doing something correctly at all times. During my session there would be maybe 1-2 other patients getting treated as well so you would sometimes have to wait to get helped. My issue wasn’t as big as the other patients during my training time, but when you’re paying a lot of money to be helped it would be nice to have a little more one-on-one time. I also think Kelsi trusted me in all aspects of doing workouts correctly and doing my workouts at home so I do understand from that perspective. I just finished my last session and I’m extremely happy I did physical therapy and I chose Athletico. I’m excited to finally lift triceps consistently with total piece of mind regarding pain/flexibility. THANK YOU!

Experiencia fantástica: I went in for knee pain. I had struggled with the pain for over a year. My Dr. and Chiropractor could not help the pain. After a month of therapy I have no pain when walking. The key is to keep your appointments and do the work at home.

Experiencia fantástica: All staff are very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend 100%.

Experiencia fantástica: I was completely satisfied with the treatment exercises. Devin is very knowledgeable and always attentive to any pain issues. I would totally recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is amazing and very helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: The team at this location is great, especially for people with hypermobility related problems. They listen when you tell them an exercise won't work for you and will find one that does. A+ for the Athletico South team.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is very well trained and knows their stuff . I was so scared going there two days after knee surgery but they helped me to face my challenges and make progress . As time went on and I could see better out come because of their help and not giving up on me . I now consider them my friends and family

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly staff. Convenient hours.

Experiencia fantástica: The therapists at this location are amazing! I have gone here for several injuries and each time they have helped me return to full mobility. Leanna is great at always fitting the appointments into my schedule. Highly recommend this facility!

Experiencia fantástica: I feel much better

Experiencia fantástica: I am very thankful for everyone in Athletico. They made my recovery from surgery as easy and exciting as it could be. Devin especially! Would truly recommend to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Helped me recover my elbow injury from work. Much appreciated!! Devin was great and was flexible with appointment times. Thanks Devin!

Experiencia fantástica: I came in with a severe case of whiplash after having been sideswiped; I had the opportunity to work with four different therapists who all gave me stellar care and made me feel like they truly had my best interests. I was also grateful that they were so flexible about working with my schedule, which as a teacher was subject to change. Thanks for making me pain free Athletic Des Moines South!

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and personable staff. Thanks for helping me after my surgery. Five star rating for sure!

Experiencia fantástica: Convenient hours and apointments. This place has seriously helped with my on going recovery. The staff has always treated me with respect and demonstrates professionalism on a continuous basis. They will challenge you to work hard to recover
