Athletico Physical Therapy Opens in West Town

Chicago, IL. —Athletico Physical Therapy has opened a new location in West Town on Monday, August 24th and is nestled between Ashland and Damen Avenue, one half mile East of Mariano’s. Athletico is looking forward to continuing its quality of care throughout the state of Illinois.

Athletico is committed to keeping employees and patients safe during COVID-19 and has taken several measures including additional screening procedures, enhanced cleaning practices and appropriate distancing of patients during treatment sessions. In addition to in-clinic treatment at the West Town clinic, Athletico is also offering telehealth virtual treatment options where patients can connect with a Physical or Occupational Therapist through a secure online video chat.

“I am thrilled to be joining the West Town community and be able to provide physical therapy services to those throughout the area,” said Annette Egel, PT, MPT, COMT and Clinic Manager of Athletico West Town. “I look forward to starting this clinic from the ground up alongside developing the neighborhood. This is my 15th year working for Athletico and am still energized by the new opportunities they have to offer their employees.”
