Review from Casia J.

I'd chosen them randomly, out of the phone book. They helped me with a slipped disc, even though it took a few months. Appointments were easy to make, facility is nice and clean, and they were helpful with processing any insurance issues, etc. I was seeing a guy named Jason, don't know if he's still there but he was good.
Having no p/t experience before Athletico, I found out just how great they were only after my next p/t needs, when I'd gone to ENH's therapy office out of a dr's recommendation and proximity to that dr's office. AWFUL! I regret not switching back to Athletico, but I kept thinking things would turn around at ENH but hey never did.
Athletico is highly recommended! -

Reflecting back on the good ole' Evanston days, I really miss this Athletico. After visiting several PT facilities in other cities, I appreciate this place MUCH more for its friendliness, cleanliness, brightness and the amount of space that's loaded with a variety of training equipments. Hours are good, and the location is very convenient - it's in the building right next to Davis Station, Metra and El.
The initial consultation for my damaged knees was conducted very smoothly - the trainer being very professional and informative. I definitely saw improvements soon after. Had it not been for my crappy insurance coverage at the time, I would've continued on with the sessions. Pity...though I now have a new and better plan, I'm hundreds of miles away. -

Athletico is amazing. As a dancer, there is always something out of place, in pain, or broken on my body. They work with a lot of professional dancers (River North, Giordano, Joffrey, etc.) and they really know what they are doing. My PT was Sarah, and she really understands the dancer's body (or in my case, the dancer's foot). She not only helped me with my specific issue, but also with ballet placement issues I was having as a result of my injury and on overall core strengthening. The staff is really courteous and helpful, and the PT aides really know what they're doing.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, they offer free screenings for injuries, which don't require a doctor's referral, which is nice for when I do something stupid in dance class and need some exercises to fix it, but not a full 'script for PT.
I've also been to the Athletico in St. Charles, and they are just as great over there. You really can't go wrong getting your PT here. They also have massages :)Listed in: My Neighborhood - Evanston…, The Places I Go Out in…

Review from Drennen M.

I came here after a bout of the wrenched back due to running in slightly-too-big-but-oh-so-good-looking boots. These guys are fantastic! I went in for the free screening and told the nice physical therapist what was wrong. He gave me some stretches and exercises to strengthen the muscles and prevent a similar happening next time I'm wearing those boots ('cos I will wear them again), said he'd call in a week, and sent me on my way. Did I mention it was FREE?
The facility itself is open and full of nice windows and on its way to being even bigger - they're expanding. I almost wish I was injured just so that I could come here. Almost.
Just to clarify - the first screening is free. Said screening can be all you need - it was all I needed. After that, though, you need a referral from a doctor and all that jazz and insurance would be very useful. -

While searching for a physical therapist, I looked up all the PTs my insurance covered on Yelp. Just based on reviews alone, I had to go to Athletico.
The screening, like Drennen M. said, is completely free, and the process was painless (only stress-wise) and easy. I came in for a hamstring injury. After some brief Q&A, he gave me a deep tissue massage and showed me some exercises that I could do to help alleviate the pain.
Then he put me on some ice while he went to go print out a list of the exercises he'd just taught me so I wouldn't forget them. Did I mention this was all completely free? He said he'd call me back to follow up on, and that if I needed to, I could schedule another screening with one physical therapists who could better help me out.
The best part of my experience? On my way out of the building, I got free ice cream!
Today was a good day. -

I've been getting treatment for about five weeks now and these guys are GREAT!! My PT is Jen and she kicks my a** but in a good way you know. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs therapy. I've seen three therapists and the massage therapist - they're all great.
It is expensive so be sure your insurance covers your treatment! And yes, you need a prescription from your doctor. -

I have had a series of injuries and tons of physical therapy. I was a little nervous trying a new facility (never having done therapy in the Evanston area), but couldn't have been happier! They are always on time for appointments, through and attentive. They seem to really care. They approach the rehabilitative process and my fitness goals as if they were their own.
I feel that the front desk staff is a little rude but it is a small price to pay. The therapists and assistants have been fantastic! -

I was very apprehensive about physical therapy for my back and neck pain, but chose Athletico's Evanston location based on its stellar reviews. I am so thankful that I did! I actually look forward to my biweekly sessions. The facility is bright, cheerful, convenient (located in between both a Metra and a purple line station), and full of all sorts of equipment. Even on their busiest of days, I feel that I am getting one-on-one attention. The therapist I have worked with is very friendly and makes the hour fly by. I also appreciate that they work around my teaching schedule. Other PT offices in the area were unable and/or unwilling to do this. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone. I can't say enough good things about this facility. Four weeks later, I am getting stronger, but more importantly, I am almost pain-free.
