Elbow Physical Therapyin Metro Phoenix & Surrounding Cities

Your elbow is a complex joint formed by three long bones in your arm. Four sets of muscles help move the joint and are attached to the bones by thick tendons. Damage to any of these structures or to the joints network of nerves, blood vessels and ligaments can lead to elbow pain. Most elbow pain isn’t serious, but because you use your elbow in so many ways it can be disruptive to daily life. Most elbow pain can be improved with simple home treatments. However, if your elbow pain results from injury, physical or occupational therapy can help in healing and preventing future problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • You should wear loose clothes that make it easy to move. We also recommend sneakers. Workout clothes will work, but any comfortable clothing will work fine. Plan on giving your therapist access to your area of concern. The less your clothes restrict your movement and the more comfortable you are, the better. Shorts, yoga pants, or athletic/loose fitting pants and a tee shirt are all good options.

Hear from patients that reclaimed their lives.

I came with a torn labrum and very little mobility in my shoulder. Over three months, my shoulder was fully rehabbed to almost complete form, much more than I had expected in such a short amount of time. I enjoyed every session, with Will and Ian being my primary therapists. They were friendly and incredible at their jobs and created a welcoming environment.

I’m a repeat customer and cannot say enough positive things about the Jenny and Jenn team. They are upbeat, positive, and experienced and use various modalities to ensure I’m back in the Game as quickly as possible. My last injury was a rotator cuff, and I am very happy with my treatment.

I came for shin splints and again for an ACL tear (whoops), and I can’t thank them enough. Every single time I went to physical therapy, I was showered with kind words of encouragement and support, which I definitely needed after tearing my ACL and I honestly think the people who hire the staff here should get an award because every single person who works here is a remarkable person.

I love Camelback Sports Therapy! Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. I’m grateful for the amazing experience I had!

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!

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.

A local orthopedic surgeon referred me to Foothills because I wanted to forestall a shoulder replacement for as long as possible. I had chronic pain in my shoulder caused by a dislocation many years ago and worsening osteoarthritis. I finished my treatments about a month ago and am pain-free as long as I keep up with the stretches and exercises that PT Jeff Sedler prescribed for me. From his initial assessment through my final release, he carefully monitored my progress at each visit and made adjustments when appropriate.

I had an auto accident that caused a neck injury. I went to Foothills South Gilbert for physical therapy; the staff is caring and extremely knowledgeable. I loved that the staff makes an effort to get to know you and remember from one week to the next the things you have discussed on previous occasions. The director is personally involved in every case and makes a point of getting to know each patient. I would definitely return!

I had shoulder rotator cuff surgery, and the recovery took many months of physical therapy. I used to think physical therapy was not all that necessary, but I am a firm believer in physical therapy now after working with Jordan and seeing the results! I am so happy I found Foothills and my therapist Jordan. Jordan was extremely knowledgeable and professional and knew exactly what I needed. He is also a nice guy and was a pleasure to work with. Jordan was never rushed, and he always spent plenty of time working on me at every appointment. He also had great exercise plans for me to do for the remainder of my visit and also gave me great information about exercises at home. I am pain-free and able to move and lift weights with this shoulder again!

Outstanding treatment from the moment I walked in till I finished today. My back has been worked on by chiropractors for over 40 years. However, I have never had permanent improvement until I went to Foothills. I was worked at a steady difficult pace which demonstrated improvement on an ongoing basis. My Pt therapist Peyton and her assistant gave me helpful advice always with an eye for improving my physical well-being.

This was the second time I received physical therapy at Foothills for an ailment. Both times I was thoroughly evaluated and given an exercise routine that improved my overall strength and helped me cope with my issues.

I recommend foothills for those who want to work with a knowledgeable, effective therapist.

Logan Moore was my therapist, but the entire team was made knowledgeable about ACDF surgery and what recovery looked like for ME. My sessions were planned around that knowledge while keeping in mind my motivation level and personality. The staff defines what a team looks like, and to be honest after a few sessions I FELT like one of their family. They are both friendly, and encouraging. I worked closely with techs Laura and Paige, and am forever grateful for their upbeat attitude and helping to create fun sessions when fun was initially the last thing on my mind

Just want to express how appreciative my son and I are for the fantastic physical therapy provided to my 13-year-old son over the course of 4-5 months after he had surgery on both ankles. Matt, Leah, and all who worked with my son were all very professional, thorough, encouraging, and just all-around nice people. The surgeries, and surgeon recommended follow-up PT both served to correct issues with my son’s range of motion of his feet, his gait, stance, and all aspects of the mechanics of his walking.

I have been to this facility many times over the past 10 years due to rehab for shoulder surgery, dislocations, Achilles tendon surgery, and 2 knee surgeries. They are well educated in the practice and you can witness the ongoing training of students and more junior PT practitioners during your visits. I just finished my last session for knee surgery rehab with Matt Schultz and his staff and was able to do all the physical activities I wanted to do at 6 weeks out from surgery. The care was excellent (as always) as they took the time to understand my goals and directed the therapy activities to reach them. Also, the staff was very respectful and kind. Excellent results!

I am so grateful for the program Lynsey developed for me after knee replacement so I could recover. Her calm, reassuring manner gave me the confidence I would improve.

Doug D.

This is the best Physical Therapy center in Chandler by far. As I have been to many PT outlets in the area. Number one, I got much better due to their outstanding people and treatment. Even through Covid-19 I continued treatment without the concern because of their attention to social distancing and constant disinfecting of all areas and equipment. As my favorite PT was Wade Wiesnicht, when he was not available the other PTs were outstanding with the attention and knowledge that improved my quality of life.

5 stars

They are professional, top-notch, and truly care about their patients. The level of care is superior to any I have received elsewhere. My PT is Vince Kame and my husband has had the care of Lyndsey.

It was my first time going to a physical therapy clinic and the staff here was always so kind and patient with my progress. Doug helped me so much with improving my mobility and gaining my strength back after my car accident. He was so patient in explaining my exercises and helping me feel like I wasn’t alone. He treated me with so much attention and always showed concern for my healing journey. I shared many great moments with Doug talking about great stories and the staff there! I am extremely lucky to find such a great place to feel comfortable in and be able to recover!

After 10 weeks of PT, I am happy to say I am back to normal. I couldn’t be happier with my results. And I can’t say enough positive things about Foothills at Power and Brown. First of all, the front desk receptionists were extremely friendly and efficient. Madison was awesome! After my initial assessments, she greeted me every visit with a smile and very personal treatments, specific to my needs. She designed my exercises to treat my areas and each therapist who helped me through each session was top-notch. The entire staff was excellent. And the facility was cleaned constantly and operated very professionally. I highly recommend Foothills, especially this one! I can move again!

Doug is a very experienced knowledgeable physical therapist. I am 8 weeks into therapy after rotator cuff surgery and he has helped me improve every week. I like that he observes other areas that show up during recovery and works on that as well. I listen to what he tells me and I do my exercises at home as directed. I can’t say enough good things about Doug and his team you will get great care.

Ethan and his team have done a fantastic job getting my vertigo under control. I have suffered from extreme vertigo and loss of balance for over ten years.

I highly recommend Foothills PT in Peoria.

Fantastic team, come here if you need help. There are three physical therapists and their assistants here. Will and Ethan are the two I saw. Just given my issues I prefer Will, but Ethan was wonderful. Both are hands-on, checking in with you often, helping you on the rougher days, and encouraging you to progress throughout. Add in the great bedside manner all around and I would recommend this place to family and friends for years to come.

My experience at Foothills Peoria was refreshing. I have not had the best experience with multiple PT offices, but this office changed my mind regarding PT. I am not an easy patient and I am very verbal however, Will Burelson changed my mind about PT and provided knowledge as to why the exercises were helpful for my back pain. He is funny and knowledgeable and will push you when needed. I will continue to go back every year to gain further knowledge on my issues and the support staff was AMAZING!!!

When I had rotator cuff surgery on July 15, 2021, the doctor put in 7 anchors. If you ask anyone who knows what is the worst surgery a person could ever experience they would say rotator cuff surgery. This is absolutely true. It is very hard work on my part for this rehabilitation, but it could not be this successful for me without the most caring team, Jaime and Emily, at Foothills Sports Medicine on Tatum. They are truly there for me and cheer me on each new step of my uphill climb.

A torn rotator cuff: I turned to Foothills Sports Medicine on Bell Road when my shoulder replacement surgery wasn’t improving after two months of often painful treatment at other Physical Therapy. At Foothills Richard Boeckmann realized something was wrong and suggested I see my surgeon, Dr. Kaper. An X-ray showed a torn rotator cuff, the result of rough treatment. I had to undergo a second surgery and now have a reverse shoulder replacement. I am thankful for Richard Boeckmann’s knowledge and awareness that something was wrong with my shoulder.

I saw Jake Kelso for about 2 months. He didn’t just immediately help reduce, and eventually resolve my Sciatica pain, he fully listened to me and cared about my worries and concerns. Each time I saw him he asked me specifically how bad my pain was, where was it hurting, and what activity was making it worse or better. I didn’t just want to be healed, I wanted to know everything about my injury. I asked him a bazillion questions and he patiently and fully answered them all and clearly enjoyed talking about his profession. He is an experienced professional and knows exactly what he is doing. I am virtually pain-free now and he provided me with the knowledge and tools (exercises) to get me fully healed, in time.

Over the past 10 years, I have had chronic back pain and have seen various healthcare providers with some level of relief. I started seeing Lindsey 5 years ago and she has tailored programs for each of my episodes. She really is in tune with my specific medical needs and talks me through the mental part of chronic pain. I am always amazed at how smart she is and knows what to zero in on to help me improve with each visit. There is a very positive atmosphere at this center which helps with one’s recovery.

I’ve had some injuries, but I didn’t want them to change my life. Itamar Stern at Foothills Sports Medicine showed me that my bike accident didn’t have to stop me. With his amazing help, it didn’t. Fast forward two years and he’s shown me that the shoulder I injured exercising, wasn’t a show stopper either, and his help isn’t limited to we folks over 60. When I’ve been at Foothills, I’ve seen young ballerinas and athletes; 30 somethings, tennis players and hikers; people recuperating from surgery. They’re all ages and the Foothills staff is also fantastic.

First, let me say I’ve had post-OP treatment with Foothills for two different shoulders and two different knee replacements over a few years time. My long-term experience has been nothing short of spectacular. I would highly recommend Foothills physical therapy. I wouldn’t even think of going anywhere else. Thank you Kevin and especially Kathy for your dedication to making my visits pleasant and fun.

Dr. Campassano is the best in the biz! The other staff at Foothills are great when I meet with them, the front desk staff are super helpful if you need to schedule or figure out insurance, techs are knowledgeable and personable. I am very grateful for the care team at Foothills. 10 stars!

I have had the BEST experience here and absolutely love the care I’m getting, especially from Susie. She is compassionate, attentive, and always makes me feel listened to and supported. Her hands-on technique is phenomenal and I’ve never felt stronger. Everyone at Foothill has been terrific, with a special shout-out to Cathy, too! Thanks, Foothills, for helping me get back to health!

Susie was able to get me the help I need and resolve a back issue I have had intermittently for decades. They were able to get me appointments that worked with my unusual work schedule to ensure I got the treatment I needed.

Jamie and her Team are AWESOME. I went for therapy for sprained MCL and some meniscus tears. I just finished seven weeks, three times a week. Jamie put together a rehab plan for me and I feel much better. Stronger, more flexible and the knee feels so much better. Kristy and Scott were great. And Sabrina and Roxy kept me on point and motivated. They were so much fun. I miss you guys. I highly recommend Foothills. They were like Family. They also do Dry Needling, which I recommend. It really works and Jamie is a PRO!!

I have been in severe pain in my hip and went to physical therapy feeling hopeless. But then I met with Mike. Mike was incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and uplifting. He showed me exercises that have helped me get stronger and reduce the pain. He explained what was happening to my hip and why the exercises will be beneficial. I walked in feeling so down and walked out feeling like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. After completing physical therapy, not only do I feel physically better, but I am emotionally 100% better.

Susan L.

I havee received excellent care from my first visit. Michael was great at evaluating what my needs were and setting a course of therapy based on those needs. He really listens to me and updates my therapy as needed. Sabrina has been great at showing me what to do. And she’s quick to make adjustments when I’m not doing it the correct way! I look forward to seeing the staff each time I go. They’re all great and appear to truly care that you get better. I have and will continue to recommend Foothills to other people!

This is the best physical therapy facility I have ever experienced! Wayne Foley and team run a very efficient, organized, friendly, caring, and effective rehab center and they are experts in their field. They also create an extremely positive atmosphere! They have really helped me in my recovery and that happened very quickly. Their therapy has made me feel 100% better and they also are very good at teaching me what I need to know so I can incorporate what I’ve learned into my everyday life. Thank you, Wayne, Tyler, Matt, Dominique, and Trevor.

Thank you for all your help getting me back to pre-issue condition. You all were encouraging and patient in teaching this senior lady the exercises and stretches to continue doing them at home. I continue to work daily at them. I would recommend Foothills Physical Therapy to my family and friends.

Rosemary R.

There are many places to go for PT, but Wayne and his staff are really exceptional. They approach therapy as a true partnership between therapist and patient, asking questions and really listening to the answers so they can tailor the program to address specific concerns. They provide outstanding encouragement and a very friendly, pleasant atmosphere, and they are always willing to answer questions. I feel that my recovery from a triple leg fracture was much faster because of their help.

I drove from Scottsdale all the way to Gold Canyon just to see Dr. Dominque. I heard wonderful things about her from a couple of people that I know and Gold Canyon, so I thought I would give her a try. She worked on me for six months with the frozen shoulder. I was a mess when I went in and she showed nothing but compassion and kindness. I also enjoyed working with her assistance Trevor and Matt. I would highly recommend this place. It’s always clean and the people are always nice.

What a great team! Andrew created a perfect therapy program for my knee rehab and always answered every question along the way. When I first started I could barely put any weight on my left leg. Now I have full motion and little to no pain. Special thanks to Brandon, who worked with me most of the time, as well as Cameron and Charity. Also, thanks again to Andrew for the knee massage therapy. Very easy people to work with!

Ashlie is Amazing: I have been thru many PT centers around the valley. Hips, shoulders, lower back, knees. Recently I went thru serious neck ( spine)surgery. I am so very grateful I found this place: amazing atmosphere, very relaxed, motivated, everyone is working together: patients are happy. I look fwd to each session, it absolutely rejuvenates me, feeling improvement and energized. Highly recommend it, thank you for all your work/care.

Highly recommend Foothills. I was referred by my dentist due to TMJ, arthritis in my jaw. I never thought physical therapy could help this. I am amazed! I am so happy with my results. Kevin was my PT. He explained everything he was doing. He was knowledgeable, compassionate, and experienced. I even had dry needling done by him and it helped me as well. I will definitely go back there if needed and highly recommend them. The other people working with me including the office staff could not have been nicer!

Foothills has helped my son get back on the baseball field after a partially torn UCL sidelined him last year. Kevin has been amazing to work with and has kept me informed throughout the entire process. What to expect, how my son was doing, and has also talked us through the “after” PT work needed to keep him strong and healthy. The entire staff at Foothills has been great and super pleasant on every one of our many visits. I would highly recommend Foothills to my friends and family.

Wendy B.

Various sports-related injuries have landed me in PT offices over the last 30+ years. I was with my last Physical Therapist for 12 years until he left Arizona. Foothills was recommended to me so I gave them a shot. Andrew Songer and his team are exactly what I was looking for and needed after rotator cuff surgery. They are professional, caring, responsive, flexible appointment times, and the facility is clean with sufficient equipment. Andrew pushed me and changed up my Therapy as I progressed in my rehabilitation. Although I would rather never have to see Andrew again it’s not a choice as it’s only a matter of time before I’ll be back to PT. The upside is when I do need PT after surgery Andrew is my guy, and Foothills is where I’m going when that time comes. I would highly recommend Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy, you will NOT be disappointed!!!

This place is the best place I’ve been to for physical therapy, and I’ve been to several. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about building my strength back after two knee surgeries in the past 8 months. Everyone including the techs is so kind, and it is a very positive environment to work out in. Definitely would recommend for PT, I’ve never felt stronger! Thanks again Paige for all of your help!!

My doctor referred me to Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy with a specific recommendation to Paige Johnson, PT, DPT. I can’t say enough about her intuitive, knowledgeable care. Paige utilizes innovative therapies tailored to your specific needs. She establishes a rapport with her patients that exudes a relationship of trust and a true partnership in your care. In a time when you can seem “like a number” in today’s healthcare world, Paige goes to great lengths to make you feel important and is genuinely thrilled for you as you advance back to great health. I found the whole staff very supportive and an ideal atmosphere to guarantee your well-being. I have no reservations to recommend the Val Vista facility for all your physical therapy needs.

Kartar K.

I was hit by a car while riding my bike, and my doctor referred me to Foothills for injuries to my knee and hip. Even though my injuries weren’t very severe or debilitating, they still worked out a good regimen for me to follow to make sure my knee heals right. My tech, Denise, is awesome about making sure I’m doing my exercises correctly and not overdoing anything; and my physical therapists have been great about monitoring my progress and listening to my feedback about any pain or problems I’m having. I hope I’m never hit by a car again; but if I am, I know where I’m going after.

I had the opportunity to use their services twice, once for a hip replacement than for a knee replacement. I was treated with courtesy and professionalism.

I highly recommend their services.

Mike and his team are great. I went in after rotator cuff surgery for PT. They are very knowledgeable, professional, and supportive.

The front office staff took care of everything.

This team does not just fix minor injuries but covers the entire range successfully. Each visit has been led by Dr. Joel Kramer and supported by a group of assistants. Dr. Kramer knows EXACTLY what exercise plan to develop (i.e., each plan was different for the two injured shoulders).

Injured my shoulder while weight lifting. It was a lingering problem for a long time and I was always hesitant to use it. I went here to see Joel and a few neck cracks and some suggested shoulder workouts later, my shoulder has never felt better! I’m not afraid to use it anymore and it’s the strongest it’s ever felt!

The Foothills PT team are all amazing. If you put in the work to actually do your exercises outside of PT they will really help you succeed in achieving your goals. I work with Jeff Moyer and his tech Nicole and both are wonderful! I’ve had a rotator cuff injury for 9 months now and I’ve made so much progress after leaving Banner to come here. All the staff are kind and make you feel very comfortable. You are in good hands!

I love Foothills. 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. They are #1!!

What can I say? I love this place! Doug Howard has helped me tremendously. I am 74 and went in with a limp and pain in my right knee. After getting dry needled, I walked out without a limp and with no pain! He was able to help me with muscle pain in my upper back, neck, and arms. The pain has been there for over 50 years and I am amazed at how great I am functioning without pain…. I highly recommend it. My husband starts with Doug in a few weeks! The staff and the physical therapists are amazing…. Renee, Roberto, Megan, Dee, and everyone else! Thank you for changing my life!

When you’ve had the BEST, why go to the rest? I came up with this slogan once I realized what Foothills Arrowhead had to offer compared to other Physical Therapy names. Before being introduced to Foothills Arrowhead, I had been turned off by other places due to their work environment, lack of enthusiasm, and just felt like being put through a process vs a caring helpful atmosphere. Several years ago my knee surgeon suggested going to this location for rehab. I knew when I walked in for my first appointment this place was different! The atmosphere was positive, filled with patients of all ages and each one with a different medical need. Everyone employed at the Arrowhead Foothills location greeted each patient by their individual name like we were family and also the name of anyone accompanying them. This is my third time coming back and I even changed my insurance, just so I would be able to have the Foothills experience.

I am very happy with Foothills Arrowhead. I was referred to them by my Orthopedic Surgeon after major cervical surgery. They are very knowledgeable and learn the specifics of your case so that they are able to give you the best possible treatment. All of the staff there work very well together as a team and all have a very positive attitude. They make you feel good about being there and explain what they are trying to help you accomplish with each step of the process.

Dave K.

Today was my last day of physical therapy. It was bitter sweet, because I went to this facility for both my foot and my shoulder post-surgery; same facility, same therapist. I made sure to tell my therapist, Erica, that she changed my life because she absolutely did. They all did; Sarah, Richie, Godfrey, and  Lauren at the front desk, all of them professional and caring. I never felt like “just some patient” but I genuinely felt like we all got to know each other as people. On some days, when my motivation wasn’t high, the techs were there to push me to my limits because they knew what I was capable of even if I complained about it!

5 stars

Jenn N.

Every aspect of this physical therapy business is outstanding, from the employees and patient care to the facility. Making appointments, checking in, changing appointments, payment — it’s all easy and done with a smile. The center is large, clean, and comfortable. The technicians who help patients through their PT sessions are friendly, positive, and caring. But the best part is the progress I showed working with Ted Carter. I play tennis several times a week and was having issues with my knees. He truly cared about helping me heal and tried various exercises and modalities to ensure that my problems would be resolved. He listened and didn’t stick with something if it didn’t seem to help, but changed course to find the best methods. I was surprised how much better my knees felt after working with Ted for less than two months. He is a knowledgable professional you can trust with your health.

After many sessions of grueling therapy, with Clint, I am now able to walk without pain. I can now run again with no pain. Due to the extensive therapy, I’m also able to straighten my knee. Now, because of Clint and his knowledge of therapy, I’m back to playing softball, at a high level again. Not only Clint, but the entire staff is knowledgeable and hands-on in working with all the clients.
