I am SO very grateful that I found Movement For Life Physical Therapy (formerly Athalon) on Ft Lowell for mine! I had total Knee Replacements on BOTH knees last summer only two months apart, (just 17 years after the first orthopedist told me I needed them, lol). With the first knee, I started PT at another place, but I wasn't progressing the way I thought I should. With the second surgery, I decided to find a better crew to help me get walking, sitting and moving 'normal' again. This time I searched better, did the due diligence and discovered Movement For Life PT on Ft Lowell. They got me in right away and we started rehabbing BOTH post-surgical knees, including all the delayed PT work on the (extremely stiff) first knee that was already two months into healing. For the past six months, I've mostly worked with Daniel M and Alissa R (predominantly supported by Irene and Andy). I am super impressed by the plan they put together for my recovery, and the genuine interest and concern they ALL show during each visit for how my knees are healing and the mobility progress I'm making. Some of what they have me doing has been really, really hard, some easier, but ALL of it is helping me move like these after-market healthy knees have always been installed... and though I'm only mid-way through the healing (process can take a year or so), I hurt way LESS than I did pre-surgery. I'm also walking and moving better than I was for the past 20 years on the OEM/original knees, even though I'm actually having to relearn how to walk the RIGHT way since the legs are straight now (not knock-kneed). As I gain strength in muscles that weren't used for decades (due to pre-surgery joint pain) and enjoy restored balance, the team at Movement For Life effectively adjusts my therapy program and homework exercises to reflect where my body is at right now so I can add new skills and motion. With their continued help, I have already started taking short level hikes, can comfortably drive my stick-shift vehicle, expect to go dancing again soon for the first time in many, many years and even anticipate being back on my bicycle by the end of the month!!! I could NOT have accomplished this work (and it IS work; no escaping that) without the great partners/coaching I have at Movement For Life Physical Therapy on Ft Lowell with Daniel, Alissa, Irene and Andy. BTW, the office staff is as professional and personable at their work as the Therapist team is, with Brittany being both friendly and super efficient booking appts around my crazy schedule, handling insurance questions and keeping me on track with the billing stuff. Hopefully, the need for PT won't come up too often in any of our lives, but WHEN it does, this is THE place to pursue a successful recovery with folks that care about your mobility goals, gains and achievements as much as you do! So a HUGE thank you, Daniel, Alissa, Irene, Andy and Brittany (along with any others at Movement For Life that I only got to work with once or twice)... I'm so excited at how you're all helping me get the most out of my new knees! I had a great Surgeon for my Total Knee Replacements, true, and your exceptional post-surgery support has been equally critical to achieving an excellent mobility outcome!!! You are simply the BEST!!!

They are very forgetful, no compassion for client needs, and make up story's to fix their mistakes. I was scheduled for Surgery. I called the day before. They stated no surgery was scheduled. I had to rush there for an appointment and found out more issues. They have no trust. So they want payments up front. They don't tell clients to bring money and there is no sign on payment of $100.00 expected up front for a visit. For a surgery that could be in the thousands. I had to walk out and schedule with a different doctor for a future surgery. I waited 3 months for this one. Had to Aldo cancel my 2 week vacation at work. The office and I discussed the surgery when I called after the first visit and we took awhile in phone to set it up due to the doctor was going on a few vacations this summer. Billy the nurse is very forgetful and could not even apologize for her mistake. Think before you try this doctor. If you do, ask a lot of questions and get them to write down all info to catch them in their lies.

I had an awful experience with the receptionist at this office named Kayum. She spoke to me in an…read moreextremely rude and unprofessional way, even mocking me while I was on the phone. At one point, she told me that I'm "not as important as I think I am." I was shocked by how disrespectful and condescending she was. What's worse is that she completely prevents patients from being able to speak with the doctor, acting as a barrier instead of offering help. When I asked multiple times to speak with the doctor, she told me I wouldn't be speaking to him and that she didn't care. No patient should ever be treated like that. I would never want to give my business to someone who speaks to patients this way, and I absolutely do not recommend this office to anyone. I've since read other reviews that mention similar experiences--patients being banned for missed appointments and staff being unprofessional. It's concerning that Dr. Freeman allows this type of behavior to continue. Her erratic reaction only escalated after I said I would let the doctor know how rude she was. She told me again I couldn't speak to him unless I had an appointment. It honestly feels like the doctor may not even be aware of how she's treating patients. I truly hope the office addresses this issue and that Kayum gets the help and accountability she needs. I doubt I'll hear from the doctor personally, but I hope this review helps others be aware before scheduling.

I was recommended this place because I was told this facility understands firefighters, first…read moreresponders, and people that serve in the military. This establishment has provided me with the most unsatisfactory experience I have encountered in seeking their assistance. From the outset, I have encountered multiple challenges in attempting to schedule an appointment through their website. At the time, I did not have insurance coverage, which prevented me from completing the scheduling form. Furthermore, attempting to contact someone via phone was extremely infrequent, as no one would ever answer the phone or return my calls in any manner. Today, I was informed that I had been banned from the facility due to missing the new patient screening twice (as indicated on their website, this constitutes three offenses). Despite my persistent efforts to contact them, they denied any responsibility for the issues with their website or their failure to respond to customer inquiries after multiple calls. Given the potential for various technical or communication challenges, particularly for individuals with diverse abilities, it is concerning that they have adopted a strict and unforgiving policy that does not provide prospective patients with an opportunity to demonstrate their suitability for their services. Their failure to communicate effectively or answer phone calls when individuals have questions raises serious concerns. Additionally, their policy of denying benefits of the doubt to prospective patients without considering legitimate reasons for missed appointments undermines their professionalism and demonstrates a lack of empathy and understanding towards others. This behavior raises questions about the overall professionalism of the practice, especially when men's mental and physical health are their primary focus. It is disheartening to witness such a disregard for the well-being of individuals seeking care. Initially, I visited this establishment as a firefighter, having been recommended by a colleague. Regrettably, if you are deployed or experience an extended shift, this location may not provide the necessary assistance. At least have the professional courtesy to write someone "hey we banned you for this reason," call, leave a message. Some people have to drive very far to this location. And you wait until they walk in the door and register them on your tablet.
