"I'm incredibly excited to join the Athletico team as we expand into Georgia and bring our services to Columbus," said Michael Mentz, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT and Clinic Manager of Athletico Columbus - Airport. "Physical therapy can have a powerful impact on the body – from athletes to weekend warriors looking to get active – and I look forward to serving members of the Columbus community."Services available at Athletico Columbus - Airport include:
  • Physical therapy – Our physical therapists treat you to reduce pain, improve or restore mobility, and to help you remain at your optimal health without further risk of injury. We also offer joint replacement therapy, headache treatment, concussion therapy and more.
  • Free assessments – If you have a strain, sprain or nagging pain, you can see one of our experts for a free, 30-minute assessment. We evaluate your injury and recommend treatment. If needed, we can begin treatment immediately, no referral necessary. Please note, restrictions apply.
  • Work injuries – We are committed to helping everyone practice safety at work. Our workers' compensation specialists are trained to assess workplace environments and worker behaviors to provide customized intervention techniques and programs. In addition to treating injuries that occur on the job, our services include work conditioning, ergonomics, post-offer/pre-employment testing and more.
  • Hip rehabilitation – Whether you have pain or tightness in your hips or need rehabilitation before or after a hip surgery, our specialists can provide safe and effective treatment to keep you moving.
