Was directed here in January 2019 after suffering an acute medial meniscus tear at work. Participated in therapy for about 10 visits prior to surgery, gained mobility in my knee, with the exception of the tear catching and causing great pain. Eric Rondeau is the facility manager for this location, and was very personable and accommodating. He is very knowledgeable about joint injuries and is able to troubleshoot individual shortcomings. He noticed immediately that I did not use the proper muscle groups for various bodily movements (e.g. squats, walking straight, etc.) He worked on correcting some of these shortcomings which I had built up over my lifetime in order to take some strain off my damaged knee.
During this time frame, Office Coordinator Gladys Johnston was hired to perform the coordination of scheduling and handle the various insurance policies and communication scenarios. She is a very upbeat and helpful person! Worked with my scheduling during this period, which was no easy feat as my family was dealing with the onset of aggression from our special needs son, in addition to my injury.
Shortly after my surgery in March 2019, I was re-directed to Athletico for post-op rehabilitation. The business had gained clients, and in addition to Eric, I also was treated by Andrew Miller, who was assigned as the facility manager for the new Peculiar, Missouri location for Athletico. He was temporarily assisting Eric in Gladstone, Missouri, and working at the Liberty, Missouri, office.
Both of these gentlemen were concerned with my recovery. Do not get me wrong, they will push you some days to perform in a similar fashion as a personal trainer in a gym, but never more than you can tolerate. Your rehabilitation is their goal, and injuring you is not. I got to know them, as well as they did me, and I was happy to be included in some of their family stories.
The facility is kept very clean, they have several restrooms, the equipment is new and innovative (I had never heard of, or seen some of, the items we used, before,) and proper hygiene control is used at all times (clean towels, equipment wiped down with sanitized spray.)
I was blessed to be directed here for my rehab. The location was very close to my residence, there is ample parking, and the staff and office coordinator are awesome. I will recommend this facility to any of my friends who need some physical therapy, and push for any further work related rehabilitation to be accomplished with Athletico.
