Arrowhead – Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy Reviews

Doug and his team work amazing well together. Lots of tools in the toolbox to achieve the best results. This is my third PT experienced and the best ever. Should I need PT in the future I will return to this team. Love everyone there - from the ladies at front desk, the PTAs, and the very experienced therapists.

I had Foothills highly recommended to me from a friend and a co-worker. I tore the labrum in my left shoulder and did PT post surgery here. I worked with Doug at the beginning and then spent most of my time with Stacey and Renee. The whole team here is amazing. They are professionals and good character people that I truly enjoyed being around. I had some friends that had the same surgery and did PT elsewhere and they did not get the same high level of service that I received here. I highly recommend Doug and his team to anyone needing physical therapy!

Foothills Sports medicine physical therapy is the best!!! I’ve seen them for pre-op and post-op knee surgery and physical therapy for other injuries and pain management. The front office is so friendly, helpful and efficient. The physical therapy techs are awesome and knowledgeable. My physical therapist is Alex. He is the dry needling master and can manage to chase pain out of my body that has been nagging me for years! My entire family sees him. (We are all broken) I never realized how beneficial physical therapy could be. No matter how much much pain I’m in, I look forward to going and I always leave feeling so. Much. Better. Five stars isn’t a high enough rating for this place!!

I have been going to Foothills Arrowhead since I was a child and they have always amazed me with the positive environment and the love they have for helping people like me. I came in with severe back pain that was so bad I couldn't walk. They stayed by my side and never gave up on me through it all. My therapist was Alex (DPT) and he was amazing! There are so many technicians to help you master your exercises to perfection and a huge variety of physical therapist and physical therapy assistants that are all so AMAZING! they have such positive attitudes and are willing to joke around with you if you are up for it! I would recommend this place to everyone I know and I will come here for any injuries I have in my future.

I love Foothills Sports Medicine. I have been going to them off and on for several years for different sports/exercise related injuries. Most recently I had a full knee replacement in December and have been going 2-3 times a week for PT. I would not be where I am today with my recovery if not for Dr. Doug Howard and his amazing staff. Everyone there is so friendly and knows my name. Thank you all for everything! I would highly recommend Foothills to anyone looking for any physical therapy. The are #1!!

I have been extremely satisfied with the therapy I have received over the many weeks I have been going there. Staff is phenomenal, caring, fully engaged in making sure that I am on track with my exercises.

Scott Sassaman was epic- he had me back in running 4 weeks after meniscus surgery. The crew was super energetic and fun to be around but most importantly gave me a good push.

Doug and his team is the best

I could not say more positive things about foothills. Jordan is absolutely incredible and SO informative. I love they work as a team.. they really care about YOU and you will get to work with everyone! From the front staff to your therapist to the techs they are all wonderful. Do your homework and put the work in and they will have you feeling better!

I was a patient at Foothills for over 3 years and I cannot express my gratitude enough. Alex, my PT, changed my life.. I was a former gymnast and had been dealing with pain from a back injury for 10 years. I went to Alex hoping for some relief with my back and I gained SO much more than I could have ever imagined. I had been in and out of PT places over the past 10 years and Foothills has given me the best experience. Alex has not only treated me but has also taught me about my injury and treatment necessary to maintain minimal back pain. I now know this is crucial knowledge for someone who had been dealing with an injury that they were not well informed about. Alex is truly one of a kind and has changed my life for the better. If you have the opportunity to work with him you will understand what a blessing he is. The care, support, advice, laughter, kindness, friendships, and knowledge that Foothills has provided me with is truly unmatched. I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Foothills Arrowhead worked on me in preparation for a hip replacement and with my wife for 2 broken legs. EVERYONE on the staff are excellent, hardworking and intent on patient recovery. I would NEVER go anywhere else!

This outfit is absolutely fantastic as you have a great leader with Doug Howard and he as quality personnel working under his tutelage,I had a knee replacement and the entire team at Foothills helped me through this.I highly recommend them for what physical needs you might have.

I had a wonderful time at Foothills Physical Therapy. The people there were terrific and really helped me out. I couldn't have chosen a better place to complete my therapy. I received all the guidance and help that I needed to improve my health issues and my results were amazing. I considered everyone there as my friends and always looked forward to my next session. My sincere thanks to all my friends there for all their help. I highly recommend Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine at Peoria.

I have been a patient off and on for many years due to a chronic physical condition. I love Doug and his team. Their consistency with direction and support in endurance and recovery as needed.

Professional physical therapists at their finest and an upbeat environment every single time. They are also the only physical therapy office in Arizona with a laser that does what theirs does.

Sooo grateful for their dedication to helping us get better with all the best tools and movements to get us back on track.

One of the best in the valley. I had double knee replacement surgery and after 23 sections I was back on the court playing pickleball. My physical therapy's Jordan Rivera, DPT and Renee Lambeth, PTA are some of the best in there field. Although I was in a little pain at times, I knew it was in best interest in my recovery. I want to thank both of you for your outstanding efforts in my recovery. Thank you again Joe.

I went to the Foothills PT in Glendale, Arizona for some piriformis muscle pain which really limited my activity.
Painful to walk very far at all and because the sciatic nerve runs either above or below the piriformis I had nerve pain all the way down the leg.

I saw Andrew the PT there who did some dry needling of the involved area and also into the low back.
Nicole the PTA did cupping of the involved area and Into the lower back as the inflammation moved up into my low back as well. See photos of piriformis and of the cupping I had done.
After number of treatments I had dramatic reduction in symptoms and now I am back to normal.
I described the reduction in the symptoms as a Nestea Plunge” or Ahhhhh!
Thanks a lot to all at Foothills PT in Glendale, Arizona

I recently completed my physical therapy sessions, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The professionalism of the team was evident in every interaction; they took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored my treatment plan accordingly.

The therapists were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout my recovery journey. They explained each exercise clearly and ensured I was performing them correctly, which really helped boost my confidence.

The facility itself was clean and well-equipped, making each session productive and enjoyable. I truly appreciated the positive atmosphere and the genuine care the team showed. I highly recommend this physical therapy clinic to anyone in need of rehabilitation. Their combination of professionalism and kindness made all the difference in my recovery!

Words can't fully express how grateful I am to have found Doug and Scott at Foothills Physical Therapy. They truly gave me my life back. My debilitating vestibular migraines are gone, and the vertigo has settled. After seeing countless doctors and specialists for my neurological symptoms--most of whom only wanted to prescribe pills--Doug and Scott approached my musculoskeletal injury with incredible knowledge, care, and patience.

I was initially hesitant and scared to try dry needling, but I'm so glad I did (absolute magic). Thanks to their hard work and expertise, I can now return to working at the bedside and enjoying my active lifestyle.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for not only helping me heal physically but also supporting me emotionally (when you didn't even know it) during a time when I felt at my lowest. You made me feel like family, and I'll forever be grateful.
