Don, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are happy to hear that you felt cared for and that our team at Athletico Physical Therapy - Pickerington was dedicated to your improvement. Your kind words mean a lot to us and motivate us to continue providing excellent care.
I am so impressed and thankful for this place, Matt especially. He is intelligent and motivational. I have dealt with chronic pain for many years after a bicycle accident and have seen many different doctors with no solution or relief. ranging from urgent care, dentist, oral facial surgeons and specialists, ENT, and chiropractors. No one has figured out why i have pain or how to fix it. Upon the first visit he targeted my issue and pain location and gave me helpful solutions that i can continue to work on at home. The biggest blessing, my pain is resolving. He has also helped my wife before in the past. would highly recommend him to any and everyone. Thank you so much for your help.

I would like to start off by saying this is an amazing place, from the time you walk in the building the Lady at the front desk was very cheerful smiling seemed to be in a pleasant mood. I finally got called back in a timely manner. My first time I met with Shawn. He was so so amazing. He had a very funny sense of humor. He made me feel very comfortable. I was very nervous and he was very understanding. He sent me home with exercises to do which really helped me a lot although after meeting with him the first time I met with a few other ones and they all were the same very very nice. The environment is so calm everybody has such a great personality is just a nice place to go to get your physical therapy done. I highly recommend anybody needing physical therapy. I give this a five star I will give more if I could.

This practice was referred to me by a previous client. Best PT I've ever had. I think I saw 5 different therapiss. Each was excellent. They were focused on my issue. The environment was good as well. The receptionist was really funny and nice. The location was good too. I'll go back there should I ever need PT again.

Kay - Thank you for the wonderful review of the team at Athletico Pickerington!
Let me start off by saying this: the staff at this Athletico are some of the most fun and inviting people you’ll ever meet. Everyone was so friendly, and it was obvious how much they truly care about each and every patient. I always felt like I could joke around and have great conversations with every therapist there. They somehow made coming to PT something I actually looked forward to.
Now to the GOAT Sean, this man is the absolute best. I could not have asked for a better person to help me through my recovery process. Sean was extremely friendly and just an absolute beast. He is there to make sure you are doing things correctly, tell you some interesting facts, hit you with some dad jokes, and even poetry if that’s your thing. He always made me laugh and made each session fly by. 10/10 would recommend every person to go to Sean. Going to miss this man as I know I will not get anyone better.
Now onto Hannah aka Big Dawg. Hannah being the first thing you see when you come in is one way to make sure you have good vibes and high energy for sure. As soon as you walk into the place Hannah has such good professionalism and a smile on her face. She also got jokes too so watch out for that. Hannah can definitely keep you entertained as you are waiting to go in and is always down for a chat after. Definitely made the PT experience 100x better.
Overall, this Athletico location has an incredible staff, a welcoming atmosphere, and good energy all around. I’d highly recommend it to anyone. Whatever you're coming in for, you're in good hands here.

Your kind words and heartfelt recommendation mean the world to us, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! Thank you once again!
I had right knee surgery in May of 2025. My surgeon suggested Athletico for my Physical Therapy. When I started PT I advised the Therapist that I was having surgery on my left knee in June. The Therapist(s) at Athletico had me work on both knees. The Therapist are very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. They critique the therapy based on your individual needs, and go at a pace that is comfortable for you. The pre Therapy on my left knee made my recovery time faster. I want to personally Thank Kindrea, Sean, Ashley, Andrea, and Blake for your personal commitment in helping me achieve my goal to recovery. I can now ride my bike, and run and play with my grandchildren. 😊💜
