Grace Pence was very instrumental in my shoulder rehab. She returned my full range of motion to my right shoulder. Grace is very knowledgeable and shared ideas with me on how to continue rehab at home as well as how to avoid re-injuring my shoulder in the future. The entire staff is friendly and flexible with scheduling as well. Thank You!

I've been going here for about a month for occupational therapy for my carpal tunnel. Grace is an exceptional therapist. She provides a very individualized plan that has been beneficial for my road to recovery. My pain has decreased significantly after doing the exercises provided. I highly recommend seeing Grace as she is a great listener, super knowledgeable and overall delightful!

Just had my second dry needlingsession with Dr. Heather.I felt compelled to write a review as the results have been amazing after the first session and hoping for the same again.I have had such debilitating double knee pain that it has changed my life negativity for the past years.No options but a double knee replacement. A friend has a friend out of state that had terrible knee pain and did this and his pain immediatly lessened.I searched for someone locally who was qualified and by luck was blessed with Dr Heather at Athletico Physical Therapy.I was apprehensive but she was so knowledgeable, I just felt confident.The procedure was not comfortable, but bearable.She is quick and concise and I experienced a minimum of 25% less pain after the first session. I was about 35% more productive and my increase in mobility after 3 days was astounding. This has given me such hope that I can attain complete healing and put a giant HOLD on surgery!

I’ve had Grace Pence as my occupational therapist for the past 5 weeks and she has been amazing in helping me recover from surgery and progress towards returning to work. I would recommend her ten times out of ten to anyone who has surgery. She is very knowledgeable and does an exceptional job at using her knowledge to explain why certain things will help your progress more in either the short term or long term. She goes above and beyond to make everyone’s experience as enjoyable as possible while making a good recovery.

I’ve been in physical therapy for years, in Los Angeles and here in Greenwood. Heather Fluts is by far the best physical therapist I've worked with. I was giving up hope but in a few months my body is starting to work again. I’m so grateful.

I had been experiencing numbness in my wrist and hand for 6+ months. My symptoms were so bad that I often could not feel my hand while using my mouse for work. I believed that surgery was my only viable option for relief, so I delayed treatment for quite a while. I was told by a family member that I could go see Grace for OT without a referral from my doctor. I truly did not want surgery, so I decided to give it a try, even though I was a bit skeptical.Grace was absolutely wonderful. She has a bubbly personality, answered all of my questions, and was quick to develop a plan that worked for me. She made me a splint and I was AMAZED at how quickly my symptoms resolved. I couldn’t be more thankful for her expertise in her field and her assistance with getting me back to doing all the things I love most.

I came to Athletico for reoccurring knee pain and I was met with nothing but kindness and laughter. All of the staff are able to joke around and have fun, but also stay professional with their work. I especially love Anna, Jay, Heather, and Courtney as they have been the ones working with me. The atmosphere of the place feels like family, and having been there for over a month, they have made me feel a part of it. I highly highly recommend Athletico if you’re in need of physical therapy but also if you just need some laughs or a conversation.

I have never been in physical therapy before. I have to say Heather, my therapist is phenomenal. She challenges me mentally and physically. I broke my tibial plateau in September 2022. It was nondisplaced so I didn't need surgery, but lots of PT. The staff at athletico are warm and welcoming, they are very knowledgeable, caring going the extra mile to help each and every patient be successful throughout their therapy journey. I will always come to Athletico for my therapy needs.

Great experience and therapists. Grace is very patient and thorough as she helps with occupational therapy for a fractured wrist. Heather is the best, too! I came to Athletico because of previous PT with Heather.

I am starting my last week of therapy for my knee for a non surgery related problem. I feel good about the friendly yet compassinate and professional care I received from all the therapists. I have made significant progress and I am grateful for all that I have accomplished. Will recommend to everyone I know with therapy needs. Thank you just isn't enough to Heather Jay Courtney Carly Cassie Samantha and everyone on the team!

I had surgery to remove part of a torn meniscus in early fall. Melissa (physical therapist) primarily helped me through the recovery and did a fantastic job. She was excellent with her communication, goals for my recovery, and formulating an exercise plan to help with my progress. I was back cycling in no time.Once I was far enough along in my recovery to feel confident in my movement, I went back under the knife for a torn bicep tendon. The recovery from this surgery was much tougher for me. I had met Grace (Occupational Therapist) prior to my surgery. She offered to meet with me and my physician at the first post-op appointment so that we were all on the same page. She didn't have to do this but Grace, along with the rest of the Athletico staff, show an amazing amount of care and compassion for their clients/patients. Grace gave me the time and the attention I needed to get my progress going. Things weren’t looking great after the first month but Grace helped me keep on track and pushed me mentally and physically to get over the hurdles in my recovery.Today, I graduated from my Athletico care journey. I would highly recommend Grace and Melissa to any patient needing assistance. Melissa has a busy schedule now but there are other fantastic physical therapists at this location. Athletico in Greenwood is an amazing team that works well together. You will be in good hands by going with Heather, Anna, Jay, or Sara-Elise. They have a number of college students that assist with therapy and they are excellent as well. Jamie assisted with my therapists a lot but the others are equally as good. Samantha is who you will probably talk to on the phone and see when you first walk in the door. She is welcoming and helpful. She does a great job scheduling appointments that work for you and coordinating the communication between physicians and therapists.Five stars is not enough. Recovering from two surgeries back to back is tough but the Athletico staff kept me mentally positive and physically on track.

I transferred over to this Athletico location mid-treatment and was awaiting news on if I'd need surgery. I felt right at home on my first day here! The whole staff is incredibly welcoming and very kind. They've been super supportive and helping me maintain stability and strength while I wait for surgery.Samantha at the front desk is always welcoming, on top of scheduling and fluent with answering insurance questions. Courtney has been super helpful in getting me started when I show up and diligent in listening to any problems I've had since my last appt. Melissa and Sara-Elise kick my butt and are extremely knowledgeable in their fields. Their expertise amazes me! I always leave feeling better then when I come in! They put a strong emphasis in ensuring you are healing, not hurting.I didn't mention everybody's name but the whole team is awesome! It helps they all have a PHENOMENAL sense of humor so we always have a good time. I look forward to my journey with them after my surgery!

Great experience! I went in for lower back pain that had developed from heavy lifting and a little age. Heather Fultz was instrumental in getting me back on track with my treatments and exercise. I also want to give Sara Drimi many thanks for her assistance as well. The technicians - Carli and others helped keep my exercises on track. Relaxed but professional atmosphere. Special shout out to Samantha at the front desk who was kind and helpful with scheduling my appointments. You won’t be disappointed!

To say that Melissa, Heather & Amelia have helped me in my recovery would be an understatement. There just aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to the entire staff. I was born with Spina Bifida and at 43 years old and 49 surgeries, I’m still on my feet. They never took it easy on me because of my disability or let me slack off when I was having a rough day. Instead, they listened to my concerns, adjusted the treatment plan for the day accordingly and cheered me on as I did the hard work. It’s not enough to help a patient out physically when recovery emotions can play such a huge part in your overall recovery plan. This staff meets every need of their patients and offers convenient times, easy scheduling (Thank you Samantha & Heather) and a staff that truly cares about your successful healing. Thank you for the bottom of my heart.

Heather Fults is an outstanding practitioner. She is communicative as well as very knowledgeable about her life’s work. I have learned a great deal about how my body works as it relates to pain. The facility is very well organized and clean. The atmosphere is very positive and uplifting. From the receptionist Sam to Heather the Physical therapist, just an excellent experience!
