Services available at Athletico Liberty include:

    --  Physical therapy - Personalized treatment plans, developed in
        partnership with patients, provide rehabilitation for different issues
        including back and neck pain, sport, work or auto injuries, muscle
        strains and sprains or joint replacement therapy to name a few.
    --  Complimentary injury screenings - A 30-minute free assessment performed
        by a licensed clinician who reviews an injury or problem to your
        musculoskeletal complaint, as well as assesses movement impairments and
        discusses how this is affecting activities of daily living. Please note,
        restrictions apply.
    --  Workers' compensation - From the time of injury to case closure, our
        rehabilitation services work for our patients in a cost-effective and
        timely manner. This service educates employees on safe work habits and
        injury prevention. Athletico also customizes treatments to meet the
        needs of each case and offers work conditioning evaluations and workers'
        compensation services to provide the stabilizing, strengthening, and
        conditioning necessary for work simulation and return-to-work.
    --  Manual therapy - Also known as hands-on physical therapy, manual therapy
        uses no devices or machines. Instead, therapists use only their hands to
        perform tissue work and mobilization/manipulation. Therapists apply
        pressure to the soft tissues of the body, such as the muscles. This
        pressure can help relax muscles, increase circulation, break up scar
        tissue, and reduce or eliminate soft tissue inflammation.

Additionally, Athletico Liberty:

    --  Accepts all major insurance plans so you don't need to worry about your
        visits not being covered.
    --  Offers convenient hours, including early mornings and late evenings.
    --  Schedules each initial evaluation within 24-48 hours of the patient's
        request.
    --  Provides ongoing patient education on diagnosis, treatment plans and
        prescribed home-exercise programs.
    --  Practices clear, consistent communication between therapist, physician
        and patient regarding progress.
