From the reviews
My experience at Athletico was nothing short of amazing. While waiting for months to see a spine specialist and be approved for back surgery, Laura worked with me to help improve my mobility and gain strength. After surgery, I was excited to get to work and actually improve. Laura is the “bee’s knees”!!
Brought my younger brother in and was thoroughly impressed. The staff assessed him efficiently, communicated the treatment plan clearly, and demonstrated genuine investment in his progress — not just moving him through the door. Clean facility, competent team, tangible results. Exactly what PT should be.
If I could give 10 stars I would. Athletico on Hickman in Waukee is thee ONLY place you want to go to get great service and to get back into the game. PT David Birkey is my main PT. He is an absolute MIRACLE worker!
Outstanding physical therapy! I have been to several area physical therapy practices and Athletico is now my very favorite. I came away with a lot more knowledge about the source of my joint disorder, and I gained freedom from pain. What more could I ask for? The staff are incredibly helpful and encouraging.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
