I have had 2 months of consultation/PT at the printers row location for my shoulder injury. I would HIGHLY recommend this place. Mary Kate and Jillian both are extremely intelligent and gave me broad spectrum of exercises. Their approach from diagnosis to recommending solution is really great! I would also say they are super cool and friendly as well, made tough days of PT better!

I am recommending Athletico- Printers Row to family, friends, and even strangers! This was my SIXTH time going through physical therapy for various injuries and the care I received from Mary Kate and Jill blew the other clinics out of the water. I had neck, back, and hip pain and tightness that caused discomfort in many different muscle groups. My PT's were very attentive to my injury history when creating a treatment plan and as a result I received a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation that strengthened my muscles, took away the pain, and also increased my confidence! This location offers dry needling which targets trigger points- this was particularly effective in loosening my most painful spots in my back and neck. They also keep up to date on current research and are always looking for new and creative ways to improve your recovery experience so if you like to nerd out on exercise like me, you'll have a blast WHILE getting better! Hot Dog! They are very good at simplifying jargon for those who are not as well versed in the exercise realm too. Do yourself a favor, stop waiting, and go get the treatment you deserve!!!

I came to Athletico to fix some hip and knee joint pain I had been experiencing for years, and I saw significant improvement within only two months of physical therapy here. I worked with PT Jillian Marik, who was incredibly kind and helpful, and listened to all of my questions. Along with PT Mary Kate, the rest of the staff are super friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a great experience here, and I’m very thankful to the Athletico team for all their help!

I have had the pleasure of working with Mary Kate for 5 months and counting over the past 2 years. During this time she has been essential for helping to live with my chronic hip pain. Mary takes the time to listen to your concerns and makes sure you are comfortable with the plan for the session. She is extremely skilled with dry needling and this therapy has provided pain relief and helped me maintain my active lifestyle. Mary is encouraging and positive; I have never seen her in a bad mood in my entire time working with her. I have been to many physical therapists over the years and Mary has by far been the most successful in treating my chronic hip pain.

I am a 75 year old male. A severe bicycle accident twenty-seven years ago, had finally caught up with me. As my body aged, the titanium plates and screws used to save my tibia had, slowly moved to the knee.Six weeks after surgery I had finished rigorous physical therapy under the expert guidance of Mary Kate Mixon at the Athletico Printers Row location in Chicago. My surgeon was amazed to see the range of motion in my knee had reached 121 degrees in such a short time. I gave all the credit to the gift of Mary Kate. She is an expert at tailoring range of motion, muscle strengthening and balance exercises to a patient’s age and needs.She implemented a portal that contained all of my exercises, how often to do them and in order of importance. For me, there are seven essential exercises. I can easily duplicate these on my own at home. A stationary bike was part of therapy at Athletico. Fortunately, I have one of these as well.The staff at this location is thoughtful, attentive and always ready with a smile and encouragement. Appointments were flexible and on time.

It was not my intention to injure my knee earlier this year, nor had I planned to spend the next 4 months rehabilitating that knee and a long-neglected shoulder. But it happened, and I could not have stumbled into any better luck than having my rehab managed by Mary Kate at Athletico Printers Row. Mary Kate handled my initial assessment when the injury was still very painful and went to great lengths to involve me in goal-setting and the specifics of my therapy plan. (That was my first hint that therapy would be successful.) Over the following months of therapy Mary Kate displayed a keen knack for motivating me to push towards progression through my plan while also reminding me to incorporate rest as part of the regimen. By the time i was discharged, I had achieved and exceeded all of the goals set in my initial assessment, plus additional goals we set along the way - all of which have contributed not just to treatment of the initial injury, but a trajectory toward healthier lifestyle habits that continue to improve and pay dividends. Mary Kate did have the temerity to take leave during my therapy to attend a wedding (to be fair it was her own wedding, so I guess it's OK ?), but Jill and others stepped in during that time so that my therapy continued seamlessly. So while I hope no one reading this has an injury or degenerative pathology that requires therapy, if you do find yourself needing professional treatment and are anywhere in the western hemisphere that is even remotely accessible to State and Harrison you would do well to entrust your care to Mary Kate and team at Athletico.

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for PT! I've had a lot of PT in my life. I came here on a referral and they treated me so well! The staff is the nicest, like a lil family :) They addressed my needs and provided post discharge exercises and other treatments such as dry needling. Very flexible with scheduling and they are the most caring people!

I worked with Mary Kate principally, and Jillian and Kyle and all the great staff members. No one was ever dismissive. I could see that all the clients were given good attention. They want us to succeed and they have many, many ways to help you get better. They were sincere in their cheer and motivation. I'm grateful.

Mary Kate was absolutely amazing! She was always willing to work around my schedule to ensure that could make it in for treatment, and was very attentive to what worked and what didn't. When I wasn't responding to one type of treatment or exercise, MK was super adaptive and we quickly got on the right track. I can't thank her enough for her help, and I'd recommend her to anybody looking to get back up to speed!

Came in for preventative shoulder work - nothing debilitating, but had amassed tears of imbalances I wanted to improve. Worked with Jill for the first 3 weeks and Mary Kate for the remaining 9 - they were a pleasure to work with! Absolutely took the time to understand my goals and provided the support I was looking for... they managed to make me look forward to 7am appointments.

I've had nothing but positive experiences here. The entire staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. I worked primarily with Mary Kate, she was supportive and paramount in my healing process. I finished PT with the confidence to return to my hobbies that I had to step away from since my injury. Highly recommend this office!

I completed my physical therapy here, all the way from 4 mo out of surgery to walking/strengthening. I had a great experience, and PT Jillian Marik was the best PT I worked with. Even when sessions were hard, it was great to come into a welcoming environment and great music. If I were injured again, I would trust Athletico and especially Jillian Marik to get me back on my feet again.

Michelle was fantastic and I cannot say enough of the facilities. From the moment I called and Enrique responded, he was professional, helpful and very kind. Michelle was my main Therapist and she is a gem, super kind and understanding. Brian also helped and again, he was the nicest.It is my second time having PT at Athletico, and they have been great both times. Highly recommend any of their locations if you need help.
