Lino started Speech Therapy through Early Intervention in January 2025. At that time, he was using…read moresingle words, able to name pictures here and there, but couldn't even say "help" when I could see he was asking for it in his own way. His patience was short, which made communication tough. He also had delays with motor skills. He could hold utensils and knew they were for eating--he would bring them to his mouth--but he wasn't able to hold them strongly or in the correct way. After months of practice and support, he's now using utensils just fine, and I'm so proud of how far he's come. He began receiving Speech Therapy-Grace, Occupational Therapy-Madelyn, and Developmental Therapy-Shirley once a week. After 8 months of consistent therapy, the progress has been incredible. Lino is now able to make sentences, loves to sing, and can clearly say what he wants. His play skills have also grown--he enjoys playing with others and now involves people around him, which has been wonderful to see. We are especially grateful to his therapist, who has shown how much they truly care about Lino. The patience, dedication, and encouragement they've given him (and us as parents) mean so much. They don't just teach--they celebrate every small win with us, and that has made all the difference. Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress he has made, and we are deeply thankful for the team who has supported him every step of the way.

His knowledge of anatomy and how various parts work was impressive. He took time to ask about my symptoms, knew what they meant and used a variety of therapies to help me heal and get stronger.

In January 2024, I had my first broken bone due to a skiing accident. Having a broken tibia meant I…read morewas in a full-leg cast for about six weeks. After those six weeks, I was moved to a short-leg cast, and was referred to physical therapy to start range-of-motion (ROM) exercises. Never having been to PT, I did not know what to expect, but I saw this Athletico was close by, so I decided to try it out. I submitted a request for an appointment through their website, and received a call that same day from Elise. Elise was extremely helpful and ensured I got on their schedule right away. I started PT about two days per week, starting with ROM exercises, then moving on to weight-bearing, then running/jumping. All-in-all, since I did not have surgery, my recovery was much longer, but we got through everything starting in February, and I was discharged in October. I can't say enough great things about this Athletico location. I came in completely nervous about this experience, but Ryan and Mitch were able to calm my nerves immediately and they helped me along every step of this tough journey. Being in PT for eight months, you start to build a relationship with those helping you out, and that's extremely true when it comes to this Atheltico location - all the staff, from my physical therapist, Mitch, to the few sessions I attended with Ryan, along with the amazing assistants - Maggie, Olivia, and Maria who helped me along the way - I always felt like friends with all of them while I was here. While they maintain professionalism, they also ensure to treat you not just as a patient, but as a friend, and it's clear that they truly care and want to see you progress in the journey. While nobody really "enjoys" going to PT, I'd say the treatment, services, and staff at this location made me truly enjoy being there and working towards my goals of being back to 100%. From someone who came in on crutches and a knee scooter, doing exercises like moving my foot back-and-forth or picking up marbles with my toes, I'm now running, jumping, playing tennis again, biking, etc. I was even able to take a full walking tour through Italian villages and cities with no problem thanks to this amazing staff at Athletico. While I'm hoping I never have to come back in here (as I'm never trying skiing again), if I do have PT needs or know anyone who does, I will always recommend Athletico Lakeview East. Thank you, Mitch, Ryan, Elise, Maria, Maggie, Olivia, and the rest of the amazing staff I worked with, and alongside of, at Athletico Lakeview East. I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me through this.

It's been quite a journey and their patience, expertise and support has certainly boosted my confidence in physical therapy as a treatment. Before working with Keith, I was subjected to a negligent PT's care, leaving my condition significantly worsened (I could walk/bike then I could barely walk). Turning to Sovereign to help me rehabilitate allowed me to learn how proper and caring physical therapy is done. From evaluation to treatment programs, I'm informed about the mechanical and muscular contributors to my injury and understand my at-home practices so that I actually do them. Keith is an incredible hands-on PT who makes the experience of PT accessible and fun for clients. His team is just as attentive!

If you'd rather be treated my therapists who have the time to treat you and the experience to know which techniques are going to move the needle, Sovereign Rehab is the spot. As someone who had his first knee surgery in high school and has had several since, I've been exposed to my fair share of PTs. Keith and his team are the best I've been around. They employ all the latest techniques and take a thoughtful approach to each patient's treatment. Critically, they truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to help them get back to doing the things they want do. Individual results will depend on whether the patient does their part and is consistent with the exercises, but I cannot recommend Sovereign Rehabilitation strongly enough for providing the tools to get back to 100%!

This proved to be incredibly sound advice as the entire team at the Lakeview West location provided both exceptional treatment and amazing convenience. The ubiquity of providers may suggest that PT is something of a commodity service, but in my experience, therapy is actually a significantly more personalized form of care than required from my (also excellent) orthopedist when treating my lower leg fracture. Enter Rachel Ballantine. and her colleagues at Lakeview West Athletico for my rehabilitation. Rachel spent significant time at intake understanding the nuances of my pain and remaining physical limitations, consistently identified highly specific muscle groups and mobility challenges far better than I could ever articulate to her, and then tested and retested my progress to develop carefully customized, advanced, engaging, and varied bi-weekly sessions. What at times felt like a sixth sense was in fact the work of an incredibly talented professional who successfully rehabbed my strength, flexibility, and tolerance for impact after 10 weeks completely non-weightbearing. In addition to Rachel's immense skill, she connects with patients on a personal level extremely effectively - something I observed from the whole team working with a wide cross-section of patients from athletes to the elderly. I never felt patronized when awkwardly trying a new therapy and nothing was ever too obvious or irrelevant to vocalize - even though I'm sure I offered plenty of both. The entire vibe of the facility had both a seriousness of purpose but also a certain easiness I think born equally from the trust patients had in their therapist and the well-earned confidence the therapists have in their ability to make an impact. That easy manner extends to the convenience of the entire experience that the staff provides (especially Dom) - no trouble getting many rounds of visits covered by insurance, easy/flexible scheduling (or rescheduling as needed), and an online portal FAR better than "MyChart" et al from a hospital system with extremely clear instructions/videos for home exercises and account management. I offer Lakeview West Athletico my deepest gratitude and highest recommendation
