Athletico Physical Therapy - Mesa East

Had a total knee replacement and Eric and Katie just did an outstanding job on my therapy. My wife is now going to them for ACL/MCL reconstruction!

Katie and Eric have been absolutely fantastic in the progression of my recovery following two back surgeries. They know when to push a bit harder and when to back off a little. I had no idea how weak I had become after being down for about 8 weeks post-op. My strength is back and I have the tools to continue in my recovery. They also incorporated some alternative methods in which I had great success I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this office to anyone. Thank you all for improving my quality of life!

Excellent care every time I go in for a session. Lauren and Matt make it their business to understand your goals and challenge you to achieve them. They explain what they are doing and how it will help recover range of motion and strength. A very professional team that is a delight to work with!

Amazing staff! They are all so helpful, kind & informative. They explain each exercise and how it will benefit you.
I had most of my lower back fused and had little range of motion. I asked them to challenge me and they do when they know I"m ready. They have improved my stability, my strength and & my range of motion.
I have more sessions left and I'm excited that by the end of therapy I'll have the movement & function I desire.
The facility is very clean (they clean between each client) well lit, lots of windows for natural light and spacious.
Best Physical Therapy organization I've experienced!

I would strongly recommend Athletico for your Physical Therapy needs.

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The Physical Therapists were also friendly, and were very knowledgeable and experienced in general Physical Therapy and in my specific condition (recovering from reverse shoulder replacement surgery). They always pushed me to my limits to increase my range of motion, but were careful not to overdo anything. I saw good progress over my time there. I always felt like I was in good hands during my therapy.

The folks that work here are the BEST!!! They are very professional, but also kind, caring, patient, & understanding. That's the "status quo" at this place. And Lauren is a super duper person and physical therapist! I have also worked with physical therapists Stephen & Jeff, who are great, and so is the receptionist, Jan. Never worked with Eric, but he is nice, too. However, Lauren went over & beyond when I became dizzy right before my therapy began. She placed a cold pack on my neck, got me some water, and was very comforting and accommodating. When the dizziness let up a little, she had me lay down in a darkened room with the cold pack still on my neck. Her concern was really touching. I was probably there for about 45 minutes or so, but still didn't fell well enough to drive. Lauren offered to take me home! It brought me to tears. Unfortunately, you don't find people of her caliber that much in the medical field. It's sad but true, and my friends echo the same sentiments. In contrast, Atheletico Physical Therapy, and especially Lauren, deserve big KUDOS! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone.

What a great team of professionals working in this office! From the receptionist, Jan, to the manager-therapist, Gary, and therapists, Lauren and Eric, all are great to work with and it’s obvious they have the patient’s wellness as their goal.
They are all down to earth and enjoy each other and the environment at Athletico.
If I need therapy again, I know where I’ll go!

My husband did PT with Lauren and Zach for over a month after his total knee replacement. Considering Dave had never set foot in a gym before, he did well! Lauren and Zach pushed him but just enough that he met his goals and he never once complained about going to PT. However, he did come home exhausted after each session!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this location was for my recovery. I had shoulder surgery on 3/10/2022, anyone that has gone through this process knows how painful the recovery process is. Eric and Katie were my therapist, from the massages to the therapy they we’re Amazing!

Eric your knowledge and email exercises/ video direction were a huge part to my recovery. Working on sore spots to get me to the next level, explaining why I was hurting and even giving me the tools to take on mini vacations to continue my strength training really helped. Everyone is so nice and understand if you come in a day cranky because your hurting, they saw that from me more then once “I was a cry baby at first”they let you pout and put you to work, Thank you my friend.

Katie your instruction and push to get me to the next level was great when I was feeling like I’d never get to the next level. “JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL” you guys know what that means lol. I highly suggest this location for any of your therapy needs I can’t say enough how blessed I feel.

After interviewing several companies, it was Athletico East Mesa I selected for my physical therapy after surgery. This was the best choice to make and I was very happy to go there. Jeff and Lauren make a fabulous TEAM to work with. They listen, problem solve, and give solid directional guidance all along the way. If I ever need additional physical therapy, Athletico - with Jeff and Lauren, I would be happy to have on my TEAM again to help me achieve great recovery success. Great job Jeff and Lauren. Keep up the fantastic customer service and true patient care you provide to all customers.

My experience with Athletico was excellent. Jeff the PT was interested in what I had to say and then applied his knowledge to make my plan of care. Six weeks later I graduated, feeling much better. I was provided with exercises to do at home. I can’t say enough about Lauren PTA. She too is very knowledgeable and kind. Last but not least is Jan the wonderful person greeting you upon arrival, always welcoming and smiling. Thank you all.

Excellent PT facility. From Jan at Intake to Lauren the PTA as well as Jeff the PT, everyone was phenomenal. I felt like from the very beginning all were concerned with addressing my concerns versus meeting performance objectives. Facility was clean and following excellent protocols during the pandemic. Amazing bedside manner and current processes and techniques were great for addressing my needs. Highly recommend this team as being top notch and committed to excellence in delivery of their services. That said, I highly recommend this team. Kudos to a job well done.

Eric kicked my butt on the regular and i don't think my ankles have ever felt this strong. I came in after a ligament repair surgery and i have a rare protein disorder that makes a lot of my joints dislocate, and be was super involved in making sure i healed correctly and involved me in the treatment plan to give me skills for what I specific want to do with my body, not just generic exercises. Good dude, good place, this is my second time at Athletico after a surgery and I will go back if i need to in the future

Athletico PT, East Mesa office is exceptional in offering and delivering professionally developed personalized care. All of their employees are respectful, courteous, compassionate and patient-focused and they make you feel like part of a family. The staff is extremely mindful of safety and cleanliness. The increase in function and decreasing pain, have enhanced my life and well-being. The treatment and detail received at this office has been a blessing to me and I would return if I ever needed their services. Thank you Athletico and staff!!

Great experience at this location. The therapist Gary really helped me make progress with my condition. They are very caring and put a lot of effort into making your therapy great. Jan at the front desk is awesome along with the whole team. I highly recommend them.

I have been very impressed with Athletico Mesa East. I went there after my partial knee replacement in 2015 and was quickly back to full activity. Recently I went back after having episodes of severe debilitating back pain. Gary educated me about the spine and gave me some exercises. I did them sporadically and felt better so I stopped doing them. Unfortunately I had another episode of severe pain a few weeks later and returned to see Gary. He again took the time to educate me and gave me more exercises. After doing them religiously I have been pain free. I am now a believer in making the exercises and stretching a regular routine. THANK YOU GARY!!!

These guys are phenomenal PT caring people! I had shoulder replacement and these guys truly cut my recovery time by at least a month! Even my doctor was very amazed. Jeff, Lauren and Jan were the three I dealt with, Jeff and Lauren being the PTS. This isn't my first rodeo with physical therapy and these guys are the best!

I was having shoulder pain and saw Gary who informed me it is Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). After 7 sessions, and doing the exercises at home that Gary assigned me, my shoulder pain and range of motion has improved dramatically. Gary is extremely knowledgeable, competent and professional. He really wants you to get better and will try different things to find what works for you. The rest of the staff is great too!

I would just like to thank a few very caring people who made a big impact on my recovery here...Jan, you are such a sweet, kind, caring, person who is so nice and pleasant every single day, you are always so cheerful and make everyone feel so welcome, thank you so much for being you.
Lauren, you are always so sweet and caring, and so very knowledgeable and passionate about what you do, and genuinely care for your patients, you get to know the people that you help and thats what makes you so personable. I so much enjoyed getting to know you, you are awesome Lauren and I appreciate you.
Gary, you make me laugh..you are funny, witty, kind, caring, very helpful, super knowledgeable and so easy to get along with. You are such a good PT and I was so happy that I had you as my PT. I'm pretty sure I'll be back for more therapy. Thank you so much for everything you taught me and helped me with, I appreciate you so much.

I will most definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs PT :)
