WACO, Texas, Feb. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Athletico Physical Therapy has opened a new location in Waco, Texas, located next to the Dunkin Donuts on Hewitt Drive. This location offers convenient hours, including early morning and late evening appointments, and does not require a referral or prescription to start treatment. To learn more, or to schedule a free assessment, visit www.athletico.com/WacoHewitt.

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 Waco – Hewitt clinic, Athletico is also offering telehealth virtual treatment options where patients can connect with a physical therapist through a secure online video chat.

"What motivates me most as a physical therapist is seeing people get out of pain and inspiring my patients to move more without limitations," said Travis Urban, PT, DPT, COMT and Clinic Manager of Athletico Waco – Hewitt. "I'm excited to be helping patients in my hometown and providing the Hewitt community with a resource for improving their overall quality of life."

Services available at Athletico Waco – Hewitt include:

Physical therapy – Our physical therapists treat you to reduce pain, improve or restore mobility, and to help you remain at your optimal health without further risk of injury. We also offer joint replacement therapy, headache treatment, concussion therapy and more.
Free assessments – If you have a strain, sprain or nagging pain, you can see one of our experts for a free, 30-minute assessment. We evaluate your injury and recommend treatment. If needed, we can begin treatment immediately, no referral necessary. Please note, restrictions apply.

Our workers' compensation specialists are trained to assess workplace environments and worker behaviors to provide customized intervention techniques and programs.

Our ACL 3P clinicians are committed to helping you minimize the risk of these injuries, as well as helping athletes who have sustained ACL injuries progress through rehabilitation to perform at their highest level.
Back pain/spine rehabilitation – Although common, back pain is often misunderstood and left untreated can result in a prolonged recovery.
