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 Council Bluffs-Lake Manawa clinic, Athletico is also offering telehealth virtual treatment options where patients can connect with a physical therapist through a secure online video chat.

“When I was younger, I was fortunate not to have had any significant injuries that required physical therapy services, but many of my teammates did. I saw the positive impact that physical therapy had on their lives to get them back to doing what they loved and knew I wanted to help others do the same,” said Bailee Shupp, PT, DPT, OCS and Clinic Manager of Athletico Council Bluffs-Lake Manawa. “I’m excited to build relationships within the Council Bluffs community, and I look forward to helping patients live better and reach their health goals.”
