Hear from patients that reclaimed their lives.
I started 4 days after knee surgery and couldn't be happier with the results. David Johnston and the team at Foothills all worked together to get me the flexibility and strength I needed to move on in the healing process. I highly recommend them!!!!!!

I've been to several physical therapy locations over many years and Foothills Sports Medicine in Surprise is one of the best I've experienced. David Johnston was my therapist, and he was not only extremely helpful in getting me into a better place physically but also seemed to be a genuinely nice and caring guy who was a true pleasure to work with. His knowledge is extensive, and he used what he's learned, asked questions and listened to my concerns during each visit to help me strengthen muscles and relieve pain. I left with a plan to maintain my progress at home and feel good about my ability to do so. I'm very pleased with my experience and definitely recommend David and Foothills Sports.

I went to Foothills after a bad fall and shoulder injury. I had lost so much mobility of my arm/shoulder and the pain could be very intense! Walking into Foothills, I was warmly welcomed and treated with respect. David, my therapist, was so amazing. He really took the time to learn about me, my injury, lifestyle, and goals. He worked hard to help me regain use of my arm/shoulder, and I can now shoot my bow and go back to the gym. I am very hopeful to be able to compete in archery as soon as I am back to full strength. Thank you to this wonderful team of caring and compassionate healthcare professionals!
