History
Originally founded in 2001, by Robert Johnson and Ashraf Abdelhamid, Achieve Manual Physical Therapy has been focusing, for over 10 years , on the treatment of chronic pain and orthopedic conditions through the combination of manual therapy techniques, advanced neuromuscular rehabilitation, movement pattern analysis, and the psychological component to injury, health, and wellness. In 2012, the sports medicine branch of Achieve was born by combining the already existing talents of Achieve staff and welcoming Sports Medicine Program Director, Gina Pongetti Angeletti. With the announcement of her move, and the increasing local community awareness, the sports medicine program has grown and expanded to Naperville and Burr Ridge using a multidisciplinary approach to managing the orthopedic patient--Including prevention, wellness, sponsorship, rehabilitation, and medical community communication
