The AthletiCo difference are the people...

Over the years, I've heard countless stories from administrators, coaches, parents and players about how they felt some people gave them bad medical advice in order to keep them coming back and paying more and more each time.

Coming from a family whose father created and has owned a home health care agency since 1984, I always hope that would never be the case. When it comes to soccer or any sport for that matter, the main focus should be helping the athlete recover as quickly and safely as possible so they can get back to what they love doing the most - playing.

On Thursday night, I was a guest of AthletiCo at the Bears-Saints game. I've used AthletiCo before when I've been hurt, and at times, I felt like the place was my second home earlier this year.

As I was walking out of Solider Field, I turned to my buddy, who played and coaches soccer, and said, "You can tell everyone at AthletiCo loves their job. From the top down, those people make the company and it's easy to see why every major sports organization in Chicago uses them."

Keep that in mind the next time you select a physical therapist.
