Athletico Physical Therapy Opens in Kansas City

Athletico is looking forward to continuing its quality of care throughout the state of Missouri

Kansas City, MO., October 29, 2021 — Athletico Physical Therapy has opened a new location in Kansas City, Missouri, located at the intersection of Gregory Boulevard and Oak Street in the Waldo neighborhood. This location offers convenient hours, including early mornings, late evenings and Saturday appointments. To learn more, or to schedule a free assessment, visit www.athletico.com/Waldo.

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

“Physical therapy enables each patient to stay on top of their own health, gives them knowledge on how to take care of aches and pains themselves, and the confidence to do it well,” said Katlin Hickerson, PT, DPT, ATC, MS, and Clinic Manager of Athletico Waldo. “I am very excited to help Athletico expand into the vibrant Waldo neighborhood and bring specialized care to each patient.”

Services available at Athletico Waldo include:

• Physical therapy – Our physical therapists treat you to reduce pain, improve or restore mobility, and to help you remain at your optimal health without further risk of injury. We also offer joint replacement therapy, headache treatment, concussion therapy and more.
• Free assessments – If you have a strain, sprain or nagging pain, you can see one of our experts for a free, 30-minute assessment. We evaluate your injury and recommend treatment. Please note, restrictions apply.
• Work injuries – We are committed to helping everyone practice safety at work. Our workers’ compensation specialists are trained to assess workplace environments and worker behaviors to provide customized intervention techniques and programs. In addition to treating injuries that occur on the job, our services include work conditioning, ergonomics, post-offer/pre-employment testing and more.
• Headache rehabilitation – Our headache specialists provide treatment for headaches that fall into the cervicogenic and migraine categories. Physical therapy can decrease and/or resolve the intensity and frequency of headache symptoms, as well as improve your function, mobility and quality of life.
• Dry needling – If you are experiencing pain, you may benefit from dry needling. This technique involves placing ultra-thin needles into painful areas of the body to stimulate the pain-causing trigger points in the muscle and connective tissues.

Additionally, Athletico Waldo:

• Accepts all major insurance plans, so you don’t need to worry about your visits not being covered.
• Offers convenient hours, including early mornings, late evenings and Saturday appointments.
• Schedules each initial evaluation quickly, sometimes the same or next day, but always within 24-48 hours.
• Provides ongoing patient education on diagnosis, treatment plans and prescribed home-exercise programs.
• Practices clear, consistent communication between therapist, physician and patient regarding progress.
