This office and staff are welcoming, accommodating, professional and well skilled in their specialty. I was scheduled with Allyson Colleen, DPT, who is remarkably good. She is THAT therapist who is friendly, direct in communication and helps the patient expect and work hard for positive outcomes. I appreciated that exercises began easy but increased with time and my capacity to complete them. Recently, Allyson and I agreed that I should go solo for a while. I can and will return for her professional care should I need it. In the between time, I strongly recommend her to be your Physical Therapy Clinician should you need the care. She and the other staff are excellent. Gary Brennan, LFACHE

Every single person who works here has treated me with respect and has demonstrated a commitment to figuring out what to do to return me to fully functioning. At one point I hadn't been able to walk unassisted for over two years due to lower leg and ankle injuries and a surgery, and now I'm fully able to do that. I also have had a number of back issues including a fractured vertebrae and age related disc deterioration. It's amazing the amount of pain relief and return to normal functioning I've achieved due to the treatment here. The approach here each session includes personalized manual therapy and manipulation (so much more in terms of time and effectiveness than other offices) and a personalized exercise program, with attention paid to comfort level, correct implementation, and increased improvement. They provide take home illustrations to support continuing at home progress. They are skilled in Graston and needling therapies and I've seen patients ranging from teens to their 90s, with a wide range of challenges in their office, and everyone has been receiving personalized attention. I recommend them to all of my friends and family in need of physical therapy. Thank you Eric, Jason, Cris, Lyndsey, Ashley, and your front office staff! You are all amazing and so appreciated!

I also want to mention that there may be an out-of-pocket expense as well as your insurance coverage so be prepared for that. I had both a physical exam as well as x-rays initially and that all helped to create a treatment plan which includes exercises for both in-office and at-home as well as massage and adjustments.

My pain and spine physician referred me for therapy following a car accident and the care I received made such a huge difference in my recovery. I didn't realize how poor my strength was. The team helped me build strength in my neck and back and my neck pain completely went away *tears in eyes*. Though I was referred specifically to see Sheree, I did alternate providers occasionally and I'm really glad I did because everybody brought a unique perspective, ideas, and techniques. I appreciated Sheree's strength and teaching me about referred pain, Shay always leveling it up to challenge me, and Matt's gentle spinal manipulation and dry needling. Everyone was knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. I'm so grateful for all their hard work (and mine!) and would absolutely recommend this team to anyone looking for excellent physical therapy!

Spending 2-3 hours doing this recovery was not always fun, I cried sometimes, but this staff made me feel safe and comfortable. Along side Sheree, Shay and Melanie's care, the techs, James, Ethan and Julio, and receptionist, Yessenia, were also a pleasure to work with. They honestly felt like a family in the end.

I am moving out of state, which is the only reason we're ending care, and they gave me more exercises to work on! Knee surgery & recovery is a tough long process, so having people who are GREAT at what they do, and create an enjoyable environment is HUGE! Thank youuu to Athletico Chandler! Love you!

My 9yr old daughter Lena was injured, her right ankle was dislocated. This happened in June 2019…read moreand she was put in a cast twice because her foot turned in. She was unable to walk, was in constant pain and was using a wheelchair. When her cast came off we attended Foothills and Lindsay started to work with my daughter. At first it was hard. My daughter resisted because of the nerve pain around her ankle. Lindsay was understanding but encouraging and she didn't let my kid slack. She set goals for my daughter, she asked questions and got to know her. Lindsay used all of her knowledge and explained things in a way my daughter could understand. My daughter finally got why she was being challenged, and she decided to want to be active in her recovery insted of fighting it because of the pain. Lindsay was great at finding ways to get Lena to allow her to touch her ankle, and in the pain she was in that was a big deal! Linsay has a way of listening to her, acknowledging her but still finding a way to encourage Lena to try. Lena loves Lindsay, she looks forward to her PT. In few months Lena went from wheelchair to crutches. Carlos worked with her and he got her to move by being creative, and playing balloon toss! Lena started putting weight on her foot becauseof that game...then a few more weeks of PT she allowed us to put on her brace. The first time she walked with Lindsay I cried, because it had been so long in that wheelchair and I was relieved that they were able to help her. She's getting better everyday. Now she's walking and doing lunges and jumping, balancing, pushups, dancing! She wears her brace, but soon she will be back to normal with no brace. Thanks to Lindsay, Carlos, Daniel, and the rest of the staff that is so fun and friendly. From the reception staff, to all the therapists. All are welcoming and they care. If you want results, and a place where you are made to feel welcomed and comfortable then go to Foothills Sport Medicine PT.

I paid almost $300 for an initial assessment. I waited painfully in the waiting room seeing the staff talking amongst themselves while they were doing treatments. One staff member was using the patient machines. My assigned physical therapist finally came to greet me 20 minutes after my appointment start time. He looked me over for about 5 minutes then put me onto exercises. The whole time I was doing them, he was talking personal patient information with another staff member right in front of me. He wandered around chattering with the other staff. Not paying any attention to me to see if I was doing my exercises correctly or needed guidance. Even while he was massaging my back I could see him gesturing to another staff member while I was talking to him. I paid good money to come get one on one care to improve my acute back pain, to only receive the complete opposite. I ended up canceling all my future appointments to go to a different facility. The receptionist was so kind when I called to cancel that I didn't have the heart to tell her the real reason I didn't want to return. I was going to let it be. Then I received an additional bill stating I owed more money for that absolutely terrible assessment! I couldn't believe it. It saddens me to see that this is an acceptable level of care and service at this facility by licensed practitioners. I hope the managers see this and try to improve for any future pain suffers that may come to your facility.

My journey to relieve my back pain took 4 months. On July 14th of 2022 I had abdominal hernia…read moresurgery, which was a success however, when I woke up on the 4th day of recovery I was in excruciating pain in my lower back. I literally could not get out of bed with out screaming at the top of my lungs. I was holding onto the walls and furniture just to get to the bathroom. It had been 20 years since I had this type of pain and now at the ripe age of 51 my journey to relief would be monumental. After 3 weeks of chiro, 3 days a week I felt the initial pain get better, but I still felt the lingering pain underneath. Any time I walked I would have to bend over for at least 30 seconds to stop the sciatic pain from running down to my foot. It felt like burning needles were thrusting in and out of my skin down to the bone. I purchased over $10,000 in medicines, CBD oils, cannabis and equipment including a roman chair, incumbent bike and a inversion table. Nothing was working so after hours of on-line research I found out about steroid epidurals. This was a process that took over a month and a half. The doctor told me to get an MRI. The results devastated me! I had two bulging discs at my L4- L5(4 cm) and L5-S1(6 cm) and stenosis. Yada, yada, yada! The spine doctor recommended the steroid shots. The first shot made it a little better. The 2nd shot sent me to the ER. I was literally in worse pain than at the beginning. While in the waiting room at Chandler Regency I had to lay on the ground while I was trying to control my screaming from the pain. I was ready for surgery but to my disappointment at the time, the doctor said that finding a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon could take weeks to schedule. He said before you leave, I would like you to see our on-site physical therapist. The clouds had lifted, and an angel was sent to me. Her name was Jen. She pulled and yanked and forced me to push me legs in directions that relieved the pain. I told her that I am scheduling consultations with a neurosurgeon and an orthopedic surgeon. Jen said she thinks she could help and recommended more physical therapy with her mentor and now my favorite person in the world Ted Carter. To me he is known as the miracle worker! I went to the neuro and orthopedic surgeons first. Both said that I would need to get the fuse done. The recovery time for this surgery was 18 MONTHS, OMG! NO WAY!!!!It is now Monday October 17th,. I remember the first moment I met Ted, miracle worker! He had such great positivity! Almost like a gleaming orb was radiating around him. It was kind of like the scene at the end of the first Matrix movie when Neo became the one. Yeah, I know maybe too much but he is the ONE to me! Ted looked at my MRI and concurred with the Jen form the ER that he believed he could fix me. He had said he once fixed someone with a 10 mm bulge. I had scheduled Ted 3 days a week through the rest of the year. He began doing his magic like what Jen did at the ER. I felt relief! God, I wanted it to last. Ted told me he was going to increase activity as I begin to show relief over the next few visits. He also recommended dry needling which was like a deeper acupuncture. After Ted worked on me for about 15 to 20 minutes, I worked with different people to help strengthen my core. I did trunk shifts, side lying opening, shoulder taps on table and clamshell with resistance. The staff was amazing! The last 10 minutes I laid on an ice pad while getting commercial grade Tens therapy. I felt better on the first day. Alongside everything I was doing at home I began to show results. I was using my jacuzzi stretching and doing my exercises I learned from PT. The incumbent bike and the roman chair were helping too. On my next visit with Ted and every visit thereafter we did the same routine, but he added the needling. I hate needles but pain will force you to overcome your worst fears. I could not wait for him to stick those needles in my back. It took Ted 1 month to fix me. You don't know how many times I have cried thanking God for sending this awesome person to me. I am crying right now just writing this. Ted, thank you from the bottom of my heart you will always be in my prayers! My father once gave me words of advice that I will never forget. Life is about balance. Words of wisdom. I have added one other word, Time! Balance and time will help you get through anything. With perseverance and the wiliness to believe in yourself you can accomplish whatever life throws your way. I hope this helps anyone who maybe going through pain.
