OKEMOS, Mich., Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Athletico Physical Therapy has opened a new location in Okemos on Monday, November 16th and is conveniently located on the corner of Grand River Avenue and Okemos Road, right next to Panera Bread. This location offers convenient hours, including early mornings, late evenings and Saturday appointments and doesn't require a referral or prescription to start treatment.

Physical therapy is usually the thing you are told to do after medication, x-rays or surgery. The best way to fix your pain is to start where you normally finish - with physical therapy at Athletico.

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 Okemos clinic, Athletico is also offering telehealth virtual treatment options where patients can connect with a Physical Therapist through a secure online video chat.

"I am incredibly excited to take my career as a Physical Therapist to the next level with Athletico by continuing to grow as a clinician and leader, said Joe Pantino, PT, DPT and Clinic Manager of Athletico Okemos. "I love how active the Okemos community is and how much pride they have in their school districts along with Michigan State University. I look forward to growing a new Athletico clinic into a successful part of this community."
