Been coming here every so often over recent years for a variety of issuse from ankle, to lower back to neck issues and have always experienced great care from their physical therapists and it remains a place I recommend for injury rehab and education regardless if you are a pro athlete, a weekend warrior, or a regular joe injured on the job or doing everyday activities. Not only are they skilled to help, but they asdo do care. But that also means that there aren't sometimes issues that need attention or rectifying. The lost star from this visit is becasue of certain assumptions made during my visit. It is common fore your therapist here, when applying cups or needles as a therapudic tool, will walk away and work on others. Sometimes they dont return and another care professional will finish up. On this case, that was what happened and I was just handed some papers showing after care execises to do at home. The problem was, there was no communication as to the purpose of each or demonstartions. Because they know me, there was an assumption that I know what to do at home. Although a picture and description is helpful, it is very easy to do things wrong making it ineffective to the intent or in such a way to cause undesired pain or fatigue. So always ask, if it is your first time with a new exercise or you are addressing a different issue from the last time, ask for a demonstration before you leave. They have offered an opportunity to come in and go over those exercises as part of my last appointment. Transparency, this is an edited review. Other issues involving a new person at the front desk were resolved after one of the owners called me personally to better understand issues I had. That is being resolve with both Training and any other type of customer support notification. And the fact I was called, vs. a canned written response on yelp, shows that they care and further supports my positive recommendation. Thank you Ignite Physical Therapy, located in Chandler on Riggs & Lindsey (north-west corner), for caring, especially Richie and Tara. read more

By far my favorite place for PT! I can't begin to express how appreciative I am for the care I have been given at Ignite. I had shoulder surgery thru Ortho Az where I also began my therapy. I went several times with hardly any gains so a friend referred me to Joe at Ignite. Wow what a difference. I started getting ROM back quicker than expected and began to build strength with manipulation and exercise guided by Joe and his team. His wife Tara scheduled me right away and Danielle has always been such a pleasure working with scheduling. I recently had a total knee replacement and started working to get my range and flexibility and strength back. I would never go anywhere else but Ignite. Not only do they take care of me physically but it's such an easy and pleasant process and great experience More than highly recommend!!! I choose them every time!! read more

Highly recommend Ignite Physical Therapy Joe and his therapist take very good care of their customers!!!

I have been to two other PT businesses over the past 10 years and was not looking forward to PT after my knee surgery. Someone recommended Iginite to me and I have finally found a place I would also recommend. The difference here is they work as a team. When they give me 2 or three sets of exercise to do, If one of them is working with someone else, a team member gives me the next steps to do. At the other places I ended up constantly waiting 10 minutes in between sets while they were helping someone else which was frustrating. The team at Ignite knows what they are doing and work together to help you recover. I highly recommend trying them if you need PT! read more

I brought my 12 year old son in this morning to start treatment for plantar fasciitis, which he's had for years. After ONE session he walked out happy, feeling like it went away and it's as if he never had it at all. I'm so happy to see what a huge improvement one session made, and I look forward to seeing how much better it can get after consistent treatments! read more

I had a very positive experience attending physical therapy for back pain at Ignite. There was a billing issue and Tara addressed it immediately. They are super professional, ethical and provide quality physical therapy and healthcare. I would highly recommend them. read more

DO NOT trust this office administration staff. They mislead you on billing and insurance information coverage. They are unethical and non transparent in their billing and insurance coverage explanations. Not to mention, this practice is overly busy, and sub par at minimum with their services. Go Somewhere Else. read more

I've been going to Ignite Physical Therapy for 2 years, and the staff has been amazing. Richie, my physical therapist, has been great at helping me with my knee. Thanks to his expertise and the exercises he recommended, my knee has improved a lot. Everyone at Ignite is friendly, and I'm really happy with my progress. I highly recommend this place! read more

Who would have ever thought to go to physical therapy for TMJ! I found the best therapists for treatment at Ignite Physical Therapy, Jaime Garrido and Richie Becerra! Though I am being seen for multiple reasons, the whole staff couldn't be any more friendly and make you feel very comfortable during your sessions. Jaime always has a positive attitude and truly cares about how a person is feeling and progressing every week. I highly recommend Ignite PT! read more

If you want true physical therapy, Ignite is the place to go. I could barely walk when I arrived two weeks ago. Joe worked on my knee and calf so expertly that I am back walking and planning a hike this weekend. The true difference with Ignite is the DPT is doing the heavy lifting versus a heat bag and exercise assistant. I recommend making appointments well ahead of time as the clinic is busy. read more

See all

I had my left ACL replaced on 11JUN14. On 27JUN14 I was released to start my physical therapy. Being a bit "handicapped" I wanted to take my physical therapy somewhere close. I had seen the Ignite building many times as it was pretty much across teh street from me so I decided to go there. Funny story, I actually looked up physical therapists on my insurance list for who was on their list. I was in a rush and found Kinect Physical Therapy on the map (also just off Riggs), called, and made an appointment. I showed up at Ignite for my "appointment" to which they kindly said that I was not in the system. I figured that maybe something got missed... then as I was filling out the normal paperwork it dawned on me that I was at the wrong place. I confirmed with Ignite that I was covered under my insurance and then called Kinect to say that I wouldn't be with them. Ignite is the place that I wanted - they had good reviews on Yelp as well as being super close to me so I stuck with them. Sorry Kinect! I am now about 3 weeks into my treatment at Ignite. I have worked with or been worked on by Joe (Physical Therapist), Ashley (Technician), and Tara (Occupational Therapist). The short story on them is that they are great all around. As for treatment they have a nice blend of hands-on therapy (i.e. massages), manual exercises for you to do yourself (i.e. heel slides, stationary bike), and technology (i.e. ultrasound, laser, electrical muscle stimulation). I have done other therapy for other ailments and the blend ratio was much different than here (i.e. all manual exercises, etc.). The multi-directional approach, at least to me, seems sound and I personally appreciate it. I feel that there are some things that are better served by manual exercises over technology and vice-versa. And let us face the facts, nobody wants to go in somewhere, pay money (insurance or not) just to be given manual exercises that they could probably look up online and do at home. As an added bonus all the other patients there are friendly too. As you may have guessed you end up getting on similar schedules and start seeing the same people all the time... which is kind of cool. Since I am stuck at home with my leg I have been designated as the babysitter so I've had to take them into Ignite. All the workers there are kid-friendly so as long as your kids can be self-sustaining and respectful then Ignite wouldn't mind them be there. Just make sure that they don't decide to sit on their sandwich like my son did. The place seems to make good use of their floor as well. They have multiple tables along the wall where 80% of the work seems to take place and then exercise equipment in the middle and then some free-weights and mats along the wall. See the pictures. Furthermore they also have two rooms with doors just in-case you want a massage (by their in-house massage therapist, Kyle) or you are a little shy about showing skin for any treatment that requires you to lift your shirt/pants (i.e. laser treatment), I haven't seen anyone use that but I do want to make it known that there is an option if that is something that concerns you. A few little random things to wrap this review up. They do seem clean as well. Doing the exercises does get you a little sweaty on the tables and the tables are cleaned right there in front of you. Again, nice to see. They also have a TV to watch and if nothing is on/playing then they usually just have Pandora or something playing. All-in-all, a great place. I am happy with them so far and I will update this review if anything changes. read more

I am so thankful my daughter located IGNITE Physical Therapy. It is difficult to find a PT experienced in manual therapy, but IGNITE is one of the best places for it. The first time I went to IGNITE, I knew it was the right place for me. Due to a fall resulting in serious injury to my inner thigh, quad, calf and lower back muscles, I required six months 2x/week of therapy. On each visit, I was greeted by name and the staff were always very friendly, professional and caring. Jamie (PT) and Hunter (Tech) were my therapists. Each took the time to connect with me. Jamie did a thorough review on the leg and lower back muscles. He came up with a plan and performed manual therapy on me. Over time, my muscles began to wake up and I could begin to use them. I entered my first therapy session using a walker, progressed to a cane, and left walking without any assistance. IGNITE is what I would call a "happy place". Each staff member seems to really enjoy working there and their happy, positive attitudes rub off on each patient. Jamie and Hunter knew how hard to push me and I left every treatment feeling better physically. I looked forward to each visit and feel that it was the best physical therapy experience I've had. Thank you Jamie and Hunter and thank you Joe and Tara for your outstanding team. Gil F. read more

Was referred to Joe by my coach from burn boot camp gym. He's amazing!!! He actually take his time to learn where your pain is coming from and what's bothering you. I don't feel so much broken anymore. Im ready to hit back my gym. THANK YOU SO MUCH JOE! read more

In November, a horse fell on me and as soon as I was released to get PT I turned to Wade Dowling at Ignite Physical Therapy. He was wonderful and worked with me. I showed up with an old lady walker and after a few weeks he had me strong enough to walk with out my cane or walker except for long distances. I have been treated with respect and a genuine concern for my care and well being. Thank you read more

Everyone here has been truly fantastic to deal with. The quality of care that I have received has been top notch. Not your typical Physical Therapy place. They stay with you and make sure that you are getting the most out of your appointment. When you walk in you immediately feel like you have made it to the right place and everything is going to get better. I can not thank them enough! read more

I recommend Ignite PT completely. I had serious pain in my neck where I could not move from left to right, unbelievable pain. A friend recommended Joe and his office. He took me right away and worked on me for over an hour. That was a Friday by Monday I was moving my neck. Joe even called me on Sunday to see how I was. After a week of therapy, I am back to normal. I do not recommend places lightly, but I will tell you, if you should need therapy for any reason, this is where you should go. read more

Joe and the team are awesome and got my knee and shoulder working great. Sara has been great to work with on my weight loss and my overall health has improved. This has been the real boost I needed to get myself back on track. My movement is up and weight is down... a good place to be. Thank you to Ignite!! read more

It's a miracle! After years of coping with horrible neck pain I am finally getting relief! I wish I hadn't put this off for so long. My quality of life is so much better! Over the years the employees at Ignite Physical Therapy have also helped my daughter and husband through PT and we trust them immensely. Thank you Ignite for helping us live a pain free great life! read more

Love the entire team at Ignite! Not only are they incredibly fun, but beyond knowledgeable, handling my rehab, my gymnasts sons preventative maintenance, my daughters rehab and my husbands rehab. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Had my first appt with them after doing a bunch of research on PT's in the area and was so glad that I chose Ignite! They were very attentive and knowledgeable. They put together a comprehensive plan for treating my shoulder issue and made sure it would work with my active lifestyle. They sent me home with some "homework" of exercises and made sure I understood completely how to do them properly before I left. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them as needed! read more

Went to my first appointment today and I can't say enough, how friendly and helpful the staff and PT's were. Wade made sure to do a full evaluation and found more than what my doctor saw as far as lack of range in certain areas which he feels could be why I have the pains I have at times. He didn't overload me with "homework" for my first day which is nice. It really helps me feel like they want me to succeed and build my strength up the right way and not just go through the motions! Glad I found them! read more

Great staff and thorough. Will recommend to anyone needing help. Very modern and friendly people.

Hard to find people you can trust to help you when you are in pain. After some lower back pain I saw them beside my dentist's office in Chandler. The office is open and friendly and more importantly their were several being worked on. I decided to give them a shot and Joe Poloni, the owner gave me a free consult. In a matter of an hour he diagnosed, worked on me and gave me excercises to ensure I didn't repeat it. After my "alignment" I felt amazing! The team at Ignite are super knowledgeable and friendly, Like a family that only wants to help... read more

I'm a runner and I do weight training and occasionally have related injuries. I've been using Ignite Physical Therapy for 2 years now and they are AMAZING! Two years ago, I injured my hip flexor and thought I would never be able to run again but Joe's expertise in dealing with my very painful injury was incredible! After just a few sessions with him - I was up and running again! I occasionally continue to have injuries and I get in to see Joe and he immediately identifies the issue and gets me healthy again. I highly recommend Joe, Tara and the rest of the staff - they genuinely care about their patients and getting them back to health quickly! read more

Joe and his team are the absolute best. Their knowledge and ability to work with you as an individual are unsurpassed. I was a little reluctant to go back to physical therapy. In the past it seems as though other therapists would prescribe exercises, stand there and watch me perform them, and then send me home with more to do there as well. While I'm sure this had some benefit, Joe and his team are definitely more hands-on... Literally. The detailed attention they pay to soft tissue with therapeutic massage and other therapies has made all the difference for me. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. The office staff is also very helpful in assisting with insurance and appointments. All-around they are a great team at Ignite. read more

As an older ex-athlete trying to stay active (and my first time ever in PT) I worried about being dismissed because of my age. Some of my friends had mentioned that their therapists told them "That's just what happens with age" and I really did not want to accept that as my reality. I had injured my hamstrings and had a lot of pain with everyday activities, let alone exercise. After my first session at Ignite I was so pleased and my initial worries couldn't have been more wrong. Danielle at the front desk is always a pleasure to see and talk to right when I walk in. Chris is one of the reasons I felt comfortable coming back - he's so friendly and motivated and seems like he truly cares about his job. Dr. Jaime Garrido has been doing my treatment and I've seen so much improvement - less pain, increased mobility, and been able to get back to running like I used to. Clearly this team of professionals treats everyone with dignity and respect and cares about my recovery and improvement. It's a smaller office where they know your name and I have always gotten amazing customer service and proven results. Dr. Joe & Tara Poloni run a great office and I can see the care they put into their craft through the people they hire and how they treat their patients. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

I've just completed my PT sessions. I'm thrilled with the results of my therapy. Jaime Garrido did a great job getting me back to be able to play pickleball at a high level again. Can't forget Gene helping me with the various exercises. Everyone was knowledgeable, courteous, helpful and patient. Everything was explained. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would gladly recommend them to everyone. Thanks read more

Joe Poloni is one of about eight PTs I have seen over the past couple of years because of a pretty serious ATV accident and about 8 following surgical procedures. He was BY FAR the best and most attentive of all the PTs with whom I have worked. By total coincidence I started working out at a CrossFit gym with him after my treatments. He is also an awesome athlete who really understands the rigors and needs of hard core athletics. If you need a great PT go see him! ***Update*** This morning while warming up for my work out I tweaked something in my back. I went ahead and pushed through the work out and headed to work. By the time I got to the office I could barely move or take a deep breath without major pain. I've never been a big fan of going to the chiropractor, so I decided to suck it up see how the morning went. After a couple of hours I couldn't take anymore so called Joe. His office was closing for the day so he could do some house calls. Instead of telling me to come tomorrow he let the rest of his staff go home and stuck around while I drove over from Tempe. He then took the time treat and work my popped out rib! You won't find better service and a better PT than Joe! read more

Great experience. I would highly recommend Ignite Physical Therapy to anyone. Joe,Alex and all the staff are very professional.

I met Joe and Tara today for a new patient exam. I recently experienced lower back pain and was referred to the office by a gp. I like that the office is a private and not corporate owned office. They both are very warm and offered a relaxed environment. I felt better after my first therapy session. I definitely would refer my friends and family to this family practice. read more

Going to Ignite has been my first experience with physical therapy. From the moment I called to make my appointment I felt important. Joe, along with his entire team, are personable and show genuine interest in my needs and doing all they can to support me in my healing. This is a team of professionals that I will forever look to for my physical therapy needs. They know their craft and they always keep a smile on my face! I LOVE Ignite! read more

Written by Makenna Taylor: I have been working with Joe for about 5 weeks now and I am really happy with the progress we have been making with my injured hip. I am a competitive dancer and I hope to get back to dancing as soon as I can. I feel like taking physical therapy at Ignite is the best option for me to heal quickly. I have seen noticeable progress in my hip and I am certain that I will continue to make progress until I am completely healed. read more

This is a fantastic office, they really care about you and really know what they are doing, very knowledgeable. They are flexible with appointment times, and really care about what you are going through. If you are in pain, they will get you in! I went to two other very well known physical therapy offices before Ignite and it was a complete waste of time. Ignite does not just give you a few exercises and send you on your way...They do a variety of different treatments and work with you to make your pain go away. Don't waste your time and money like I did, go here first, you won't be sorry! I have been going to Ignite for neck, upper back and shoulder pain. My husband went there for lower back pain and after a few treatments, he could not believe how little his regular physical therapy office did for him. I am so glad they are near my house, but they are worth the drive! read more

After suffering many dance related injuries over the years, I have been referred to a few different physical therapists. However, I was very limited due to my insurance. Most times, I would feel better for a day or two, and then the pain would come back. I go to school in New York, so it is not exactly possible for me to see the same doctors year-round. After returning for my next visit, I would be treated as if I was the one doing something wrong! I was recommended to Joe Poloni by a friend, and after speaking with him, I found out he accepts a wide variety of insurances. Right from the evaluation, I felt as if my immediate recovery was not just a job to Joe, but he had interest in my well-being! The staff is very welcoming and I would recommend this to anyone in the area, but it is worth a commute as well! The location is perfect, and he is always on time! You are not overbooked and waiting long, like in most offices. In just a few short visits, I began to feel closer to a permanent recovery. He also gave me a few exercises to do while I am at school, and so far, no pain! read more

Ignite Physical Therapy - Physical Therapy Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

We are so grateful for Ignite Physical Therapy! Our almost 4 year old daughter started PT for toe walking- a habit she was doing about 90% of the time. Joe has been working with her for the last few weeks and the transformation has been amazing! Between the time Joe has spent with her, the exercises he gave us to practice at home and the support Ignite has provided, I'm so thrilled to say that our daughter is walking on her entire foot almost 100% of the time already! We are truly impressed with Joe and the entire staff we have encountered at Ignite Physical Therapy. If we have any future PT needs, this will be our first stop! We would recommend them to anyone! read more

So thankful to have been referred to Ignite by our pediatrician. My newborn son had Torticollis (had no idea what that was initially) and Joe was amazing with him. He educated me and took time in showing the stretches to do at home. Despite being busy some days, he was attentive and focused when it was my sons turn. The entire staff is friendly and we are grateful for the difference physical therapy made in my sons prognosis. read more

FAMILY AFFAIR! My family started out over 2 years ago taking turns going to Ignite PT. First, my teen who has medical conditions which require her to constantly strengthen & align her body. Joe immediately jumped to the challenge, read up, and has always been great at communicating with her through her PT program. Alex is just as amazing with her, helping with back issues, knee issues, migraines and more. G is so knowledgeable and understands the mechanics that individuals, especially athletes need to improve their game and get stronger overall. Chris is on top of making sure the patients are on track, know their exercises, and of course, cracking smart remarks :) My son, an athlete, returns to Ignite when he is in need of alignment or tweaking his form. He has been through rehab PT after injuries with Ignite and formerly with another EV physical therapy. There is NO comparison! I continue to be impressed with the knowledge and expertise that the team has with injuries, athletes, chronic pain and every day issues. I myself have seen Joe, Alex (watch the ASTYM!) and most recently Wade (great with Needling) for various reasons over the past couple of years. I will never go anywhere else. It's not just ONE physical therapist that is good... they are ALL amazing! And I'm not done... my husband has a chronically bad back, for years. Ignite is the first place he has had lasting relief!! (and he has tried lots of different therapies, procedures and medicines). One visit and he was a believer! And lastly, even my youngest soccer player returns periodically to get back in condition and realign her knees, hips, or ankles as needed through the season. There are so many other things I can say about Tara , Danielle, and other staff, but in a nutshell, they are human, they CARE, and they will treat you like family. read more

I recently hurt my knee and was referred to Ignite Physical Therapy - what a great office - the staff are really friendly and helpful. Joe Poloni, the PT there is amazing and through some PT and the exercises he had me doing at home I am on the mend! Thank you Ignite Physical Therapy!!! read more

This place is fantastic! They are super friendly. They treat you well, not like the other corporate owned PT places in the area. Joe is really good. I HIGHLY recommend the dry needling! It has helped me so much. I felt a difference after my first visit to Ignite. Skip the chiropractor and they this place....it's a much, much better experience! read more

The owner Joe is very thorough and cares about his clients. I'm from NY and so is he and he made me feel very comfortable being it was my first time for physical therapy. His wife at the front was incredibly kind as well. I was seen an hour earlier. read more
