Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine

Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine was recommended to me by my surgeon after my total hip replacement. Rebecca, my therapist, was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Both Rebecca and Jessica educated and motivated me. Through their guidance, I became stronger. They worked me hard, knew my limitations, and were very instrumental in my recovery .Thank you Rebecca and Jessica! The front desk staff was also friendly and accommodating with scheduling. I highly recommend Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine! Lisa M.

Went here with a minor rotator cuff injury I got while training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Matt Shultz and the team got my shoulder strengthened and healed and had my range of motion massively improved inside of a month! Couldn’t be happier.

"Exceptional care! I was plagued by stubborn shin splints until I found this gem of a physical therapy office as recommended by Dr. Patterson. From the outset, they offered swift appointments as Matt was able to work me into the schedule within 24 hours, acknowledging the urgency of my discomfort. Taylor the physical therapist was an absolute magician in his craft. His approach combining dry needling, massage, along with tailored stretches and exercises was a game-changer. Not only did they address the immediate pain, but they also provided me with a comprehensive plan for sustained recovery. The expertise and precision with which they applied dry needling were impressive, instantly relieving tension and soreness. Their massage techniques were both soothing and therapeutic, making each session incredibly beneficial. Moreover, their dedication to customizing exercises and stretches specific to my condition was remarkable. Their guidance and support made the recovery process incredibly smooth. I cannot commend this office enough for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. They not only resolved my shin splints but also equipped me with invaluable knowledge and tools for ongoing self-care. Highly recommended to anyone seeking prompt, effective, and personalized physical therapy!"

For me to do a Google review is extremely rare but I have to share with the world how much I appreciate Matt Schultz and his team at Foothills PT. Thank you Matt for helping me recover from my shoulder and your insightful expertise. You made going to my appointments rewarding and uplifting. I learned all the exercises I needed to heal faster and shortened my recovery time. Gracias!! ☺️

My mother has been here several times and insisted I see Matt Schultz when I needed PT following a total knee replacement. I had my first one done in April 2023 and did not hesitate to return for my second on in December 2023. Matt is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also makes PT fun with his engaging style and the stories he tells while he is working on you. He is also a huge basketball fan so if you are around for basketball season you will hear his passion come through. He definitely pushed my limits, but because of it I got the maximum mobility and my knees feel great! Matt not only works with patients but also manages this facility and his leadership is evident as you watch him throughout the day. He is always watching everything going on in the clinic and doesn’t hesitate to correct a technique or make a suggestion to ensure the patients are receiving the optimal care. His style with patients and his team is approach from a place of caring and always appears to come across as delivered in the interest of learning and growth and never as a reprimand. I can’t say enough great things about Matt and his team of experts, and do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for PT. As a side note, I observed Rebecca perform miracles on patients with vertigo a few times and if I EVER experience vertigo, I am going to see her!

My experience at the South Gilbert location of Foothills Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy has been nothing short of incredible. Within days prior to having my total knee replacement, I had not arranged for my physical therapy. One phone call with Erica at Foothills and I was scheduled for the next two weeks of appointments. She was friendly and professional and assured me that I would be in good hands. She was right. Three days after my surgery, I began my therapy with Matt, the Clinic Director. Matt is well qualified as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, but equally important is his professionalism and communication. He has high expectations but is gentle in his approach. He has set the tone for the facility: all personnel are approachable and hard-working. They are all willing to answer questions and provide guidance. Physical therapy after a total knee replacement is no joke. However, the staff at Foothills makes me look forward to my sessions and I feel stronger when I leave. Thanks guys for making my recovery such a positive experience!

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 had an auto accident that caused a neck injury. I went to the south Gilbert Foothills Sports medicine for physical therapy. The staff is caring and extremely knowledgeable. They are highly trained and I didn’t meet one tech that didn’t love their job. They are all careful to listen to you and mindful of your pain. I never had to wait. I loved that the staff makes an effort to really get to know you and remember from one week to the next the things you have talked about on previous occasions. The director is personally involved in every case and make a point of getting to know each patient. I would definitely return!
