Athletico continues expansion in Dallas-Fort Worth area following its acquisition of Ascend Hand Therapy

LEWISVILLE, Texas, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Athletico Physical Therapy has opened a new location in The Colony near Lewisville, Texas, located in the Lewisville Towne Crossing shopping center next door to Jersey Mike's. This location offers convenient hours, including early mornings and late evenings, and does not require a referral or prescription to start treatment. To learn more, or to schedule a free assessment, visit www.athletico.com/TheColony.

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.

The Colony location builds on Athletico's recent growth in Dallas-Fort Worth following its acquisition of Ascend Hand Therapy last year. Based in Dallas, Ascend is a leading outpatient provider of occupational and hand therapy services with one additional clinic in Frisco. With the addition of Ascend to its clinical network, Athletico now serves patients at over 30 clinics throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

"Athletico is extremely excited to partner with Ascend Hand Therapy to continue to provide outstanding care to the local community," said Richard Lowlicht, PT, DPT, Regional Director, Dallas-Fort Worth for Athletico. "Our aligned values of delivering an exceptional patient experience and returning people to a functional, pain-free life will benefit The Colony community as well as the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area."

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 Colony, Athletico is also offering telehealth virtual treatment options where patients can connect with an occupational therapist through a secure online video chat.
