Athletico Physical Therapy - Altoona

I'm currently a client at Athletico because of a compression fracture at L1. I have OI, which is a brittle bone disease & it makes treatment tricky. I have had just over 60 fractures over the years. I'd been unable to stand even a t-shirt touching a large curve in my thoracic spine at times. Kevin Peterson is my PT & I swear that he's a miracle worker. I'd been hunched & clenched up for a year because of my spine. We started out slowly & gently & I quickly began to get over my nervousness. Over the past 8 weeks we've worked hard & Kevin has been diligent at creating the best program possible for my specific issue. He has really listened to my concerns all along, & I'm so thankful. I've learned lots of stretches, moving, core strengthening & techniques to loosen up when needed & my pain has greatly improved. I can't recommend this facility enough. (I've been here previously with a different injury & received great care & treatment.) I now feel confident about continuing on my own after I graduate next week. Give them a call!!!

I have been coming to Athletico for about 5 weeks with Kevin being my P T therapist. When I started I was hardly walking and could not do a lot of my daily household work. I was discouraged and was not sure I could get better. The treatment and exercises that Kevin assigned were amazing. I was diligent doing the exercises and listening to Kevin's advice. Each week, after the explanations of how it all improved my body, I became stronger and Kevin discovered I needed work on balance and prescribed therapy to help that. I am so thankful to him and the informative suggests he lead me to a new way of working my body. I recommend Kevin and the group at Athletico in restoring me to a stronger and painless life. I know they cared and truly wanted me to get better. If you need P T from a great group come here. I am enjoying my life in a whole new way. Thank you Kevin for changing my life!!!

I first worked with Gary Latchem at Athletico following a knee replacement in 2022. I recently returned to Gary because of hip and ankle issues. He listens....he is able to identify the cause of the discomfort/mobility issues...and he puts an effective exercise program in place. I will continue to recommend Athletico in Altoona to others!

I just had my first visit with Kevin and was very impressed with his level of engagement and expertise. I feel that he has me on the right path and I look forward to coming back and seeing him again. I already feel a little bit better than I did when I came in. Hallelujah!

I want to say, the team at Athletico, Ankeny is the best. They are supportive and so knowledgeable. I wish I had therapy with them right after my injury before I thought the wheelchair would soon be my only option for mobility. Thank you.

I had severe vertigo and had Kevin as my PT therapist and he was beyond amazing! He corrected that along with my shoulder and neck needing work too. It was a great experience working with Kevin. Thanks, Kevin Mike G

I came in with hip bursa pain due to traumatic hip injury with total hip replacement. Kevin was Fantastic to work with me to strengthen my leg to return to work! Would Highly recommended them for all physical therapy services!

My daughter received great care from Kevin at Athletico. He is extremely knowledgeable and the results have been very positive. We would highly recommend Athletico. Thank you Kevin!
