OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Athletico Physical Therapy, one of the nation's largest providers of orthopedic rehabilitation services to communities, employers and athletes, announced today a strategic partnership with Limber Health, a premier digital health solution facilitating the delivery of hybrid musculoskeletal care. Athletico has deployed and integrated Limber Health's technology platform to support in-clinic patient care and improve outcomes across its network of more than 900 clinics in 24 states and the District of Columbia.

To enhance patient care, the Athletico mobile app, powered by Limber Health, was launched to offer video home exercise programs, progress tracking and patient-reported outcomes collection. Additionally, for eligible patients, Athletico offers remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) with support from dedicated Care Navigators, licensed clinicians who are an extension of Athletico's in-clinic care team. Care Navigators provide guidance and motivation to patients between clinic visits to drive engagement with their home exercise program and to ensure patients reach optimal outcomes.
