Athletico Physical Therapy Announces Partnership with Nebraska Athletics
OAK BROOK, Ill., Aug. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Midwest-based Athletico Physical Therapy today announced a partnership with Nebraska Athletics and Learfield IMG College's Husker Sports Properties. The affiliation marks an exciting addition to Athletico's robust collaboration with collegiate athletic programs across the country, including five Big Ten universities and the Big Ten Conference.
"We are thrilled to partner with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and to support Nebraska Athletics," said Mike Berlin, Regional Manager at Athletico, a UNL Alum and Founder of the former Excel Physical Therapy. "UNL is a great university and we share the same goal of helping individuals perform at their highest level. This relationship is a natural step as we expand our presence in the state of Nebraska."
The multi-year agreement includes signage, digital and radio marketing assets, as well as hospitality opportunities for Athletico.
In addition to 14 clinics in Nebraska and Council Bluffs, Iowa, Athletico currently operates two clinics in Lincoln, including an East Lincoln location that opened in April 2019. Both clinics serve as a convenient resource for University of Nebraska students and staff, as well as the surrounding communities.
Athletico entered the Nebraska market in late 2017 with its acquisition of Excel Physical Therapy, a leading physical therapy and industrial rehabilitation provider since 1988. Following the acquisition, Athletico now operates more than 475 clinics throughout 12 states.
