Athletico Opens Facility in Vernon Hills

Athletico Physical Therapy opened its newest physical therapy facility at 555 E. Townline Road, Ste. 24, in Vernon Hills. The facility is located near the corner of Townline Road and Milwaukee Avenue. Athletico Vernon Hills offers physical therapy, sports medicine, work rehabilitation, work conditioning, and functional capacity evaluations. Transportation services are also available for those patients who require transportation assistance.

Justin Fedie, PT, MPT, serves as the facility manager and treating physical therapist for the Vernon Hills facility. Fedie graduated from Marquette University in 2004 with his Master of Physical Therapy degree and now resides in Libertyville with his wife and two children. He began his Athletico career at Athletico’s Niles/Northwest Chicago facility.

“Vernon Hills is an excellent location for Athletico. The location offers convenient access due to its close proximity to the main thoroughfare of the area. I absolutely love the area, which is why I moved to Libertyville in 2009,” says Fedie. “I look forward to building wonderful relationships by serving my community and calling Athletico Vernon Hills home.”

Fedie’s passion for physical therapy began in high school stemming from athletics and his love of working with people. He frequently tells his patients that what he enjoy most about being a physical therapist is seeing people get better and returning to their everyday lives. “Every person has a story, and I learn just as much from my patients as they hopefully do from me.”

Athletico Vernon Hills provides the community quality care and convenience through the following means:

• Patient outcomes reporting using a third-party outcomes system to provide measurable data on a patient’s progression that is discussed throughout the course of treatment
• Patient satisfaction reporting throughout treatment in order to better understand and respond to patient needs while they are still receiving rehabilitation services, rather than after a patient is discharged
• Convenient hours including early mornings, evenings, and Saturdays
• Prompt scheduling of each initial evaluation within 24-48 hours of the patient’s phone call
• Ongoing patient education on diagnosis, treatment plans, and prescribed home-exercise programs
• Clear, consistent communication between therapist, physician, and patient regarding progress
