ROCKFORD, Ill., July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Athletico Physical Therapy opened a new location in Downtown Rockford on Monday, July 13th at East Jefferson and Third Street, just blocks away from the scenic Rock River and walking distance to many local favorite restaurants that line E. State St and the Indoor City Market.
“The opening of this clinic has created a positive vibe in the community where an empty space once was,” stated Regional Manager for Athletico, Mike Rose, MS, ATC. “Many community and neighborhood members have told us how excited they are to see us here and we’re excited to be opening a third clinic to serve Rockford.”
The clinic is managed by Physical Therapist David Walsh, PT, DPT, who provides patients with education about their condition and provides treatment to help patients reach their health goals.
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 Downtown Rockford 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.
