ATI Physical Therapy

Staff rocks. Paige at front desk welcomes you like family. Chris Rudd is the ultimate PT Pro and has changed my life for the better. True difference maker for my physical well being. Caryn McGuinn

I’m not one for words, but I wanted to extend my thanks and gratitude for the care and attention I received at ATI in Niles.
Chris was attentive, professional, and cared about getting me back to 100%. (Which he did!)
If Chris was a personal trainer, I would be using him right now. In a nutshell: thanks for fixing me!

This place is THE BEST!!! I chose it because it had such great Unilocal reviews & I am only 39 and was unsure of where to go for physical therapy & I am so happy I did!!! Chris Rudd is AMAZING and a wonderful Physical Therapist. He is patient, kind, compassionate and really cares about his clients. I am 101% better after only 8 visits… and I had relief after just 2 visits! When I started here I was saying my pain was a 9 out of 10 and after the two visits I was down to a 3, I wouldn’t have believed someone if they had told me that my knee would be that much better after just a couple of visits. When I found out that my awful health insurance policy was not going to cover me I decided to stay here & pay out of pocket rather than try to go somewhere else that it did cover because I liked them here so much. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of physical therapy if you want to get better and back to normal FAST and I will recommend it to anyone who asks me!!! Thank you ATI/​Chris!!!

ATI makes physical therapy fun. I’ve gone through 2 complete rounds and graduated with flying colors. The team of Chris & Kristey get results in their approach to each patient. ATI = «Attention To Individuals»! They work together to create exercise programs for the needs of patients, instructing & explaining the benefits of each. Their encouragement is «2^nd to None»! I am currently in the step-​down program to continue the progress I’ve made here. If you have any questions, stop in & ask the pros. ATI provided therapy to some well-​known organizations: Milwaukee Brewers, Notre Dame, Milwaukee Bucks to name a few. Highly recommended! Thankful everyday for these two putting my life back together physically.

I had PT at other joints before my surgery that would just stretch you a lot or massage you. News flash… that doesn’t work!!! I had to get surgery to fix the cartilage on my hip… After my hip arthroscopy surgery, I had to get PT for a really really really long time. Tom and Kristy really took care of me. I made sure to come to each and every session and give 100% of my effort. They both understood the importance of PT after this procedure and left nothing out. I am still following a home program that I do at the gym with their blessing. Because of them, my hamstrings, thighs, hips, and glutes are like steel. Keep up the good work of motivating people and getting results.
Also, part of the effort is on the individual. If you don’t follow a home protocol in between visits, you won’t get results. They aren’t going to lift your leg for you… so keep on yourself and set up a schedule. Trust me… you need someone to kick your behind to get you better!

I came to ATI from another clinic in Evanston. I was warmly welcomed and treated like a guest in someone’s home. I found the staff positive and energetic with encouragement as a theme. The lead Therapist Tom took really good care of me and I appreciate all the care they showed me. I didn’t feel like an outsider in the clinic, I felt like part of them. Thank you ATI for a great experience, advice, encouragement and honest approach. Would return in a heartbeat. :)

I have had OUTSTANDING service at this facility over several weeks. Tom the director is as skilled as he is caring, which sets the tone for the whole place. Sincere and dedicated 200%.
I came for the convenience, but I’ve been blown away by the standard of care. Unlike some places where you don’t get much attention, just a bunch of «do this, now do that» — here the focus was on me with LOTS of hands-​on tailored to my needs with expertise as well as compassion. All the staff are friendly, professional and helpful too — Kristy the other regular therapist and Julie on reception. The staff here work really hard to get you better, I’ve had more sessions than I care to count — making progress, I should add! — and I’ve watched them working with other patients, not just me. Everyone gets a fantastic level of input.
The mood is light, the intention is serious — to get you back to full functioning again! The therapists give you so much of their own effort & energy, alongside your own, honestly I wonder how they can keep it up. But they do!
Oh of course the facility is clean and bright, very well-​equipped — and prompt, friendly driver Diane is available to take you if you can’t get there under your own steam. This service was so helpful for me!
Just totally impressive, what a well-​run, positive place. If you need physical therapy, I don’t think you can find a better facility.
