After graduating, Fogus began working for Athletico’s Gold Coast location. Four years later, he returned to Indianapolis to be closer to his family.  With the opening of Athletico’s Valparaiso location, Fogus is excited to continue to reside in his home state, as well as, return to Athletico Physical Therapy.

Fogus’ specialties as a physical therapist focus on his passion for athletics, especially golf rehabilitation.  “There is nothing more humbling or gratifying than helping another individual return to doing what they love to do” shared Fogus.  Experience with video gait analysis, and Graston Technique® enhance Fogus’ skill set, as he looks to serve golf as well as endurance athletes.  Overall, Fogus’ expertise, service, and dedication to the best individual treatment options for patients will continue as he fulfills this new role as the facility manager of Athletico Valparaiso. Athletico Valparaiso provides patients with 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. Results show that 98% of our patients would recommend us to their friends and family.
• 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.
