Partnership offers patients a hybrid healthcare model, seamlessly connecting the in-clinic therapy experience with innovative digital solutions
OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 10, 2024 -- 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.
"Athletico is proud to be the first large outpatient therapy provider to deliver an RTM solution at scale," said Dan Guill, CEO of Athletico. "Partnering with Limber Health signifies our commitment to enhancing patient care through digital solutions that complement the exceptional care our therapists provide. Together, we are providing patients with additional tools and resources to help them achieve their rehabilitation and recovery goals."
This partnership underscores Athletico's continued dedication to demonstrating the value of its services, combining traditional in-clinic therapy with digital solutions to enable convenient and comprehensive care for patients. The hybrid approach to care aims to increase overall patient engagement, improve clinical decision-making, and support value-based care initiatives for employers and payers.

By combining Athletico's expertise and expansive network of high performing clinics with Limber Health's best-in-class digital solutions, we are delivering a hybrid care model to elevate patient experiences and outcomes, ultimately redefining the standard of care in physical and occupational therapy."
