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.
"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.

Health, added, "We are thrilled to partner with Athletico in
revolutionizing the delivery of musculoskeletal care. By combining
