KALAMAZOO, MICH. — Athletico Physical Therapy has opened a new location in Kalamazoo, located in the Westwood Plaza in between Biggby B Coffee and Kyoto Hibachi & Sushi.

Members of the community, as well as local and state representatives, are invited to join the Athletico clinic team to celebrate the opening and learn more about physical therapy services.

“Being able to serve my community by helping others get back to living their life pain free is a passion of mine,” said Karri Porco, DPT and Clinic Manager of Athletico Kalamazoo. “I was a physical therapy assistant for 14 years before attending physical therapy school, and I’m excited to expand my knowledge and areas of practice while growing an Athletico clinic in my hometown.”

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 Kalamazoo 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.
