This is a big thanks to Shane Sullivan, Courtney, Alexa, Jenna and all the girls in the office. I had a disastrous experience at another Scottsdale PT place and I am so glad that Dr. Jay Turner recommended Shane and his team to me. After my 3rd hip replacement on my left hip Shane and his team made all the difference in my recovery. I always felt listened to and that my plan was personally designed for me. I have come so far with this team and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs physical therapy. Thank you Shane, Courtney and Alexa.

65 year old female with repaired compression fracture - still had pain. Referred to SpineScottsdale - the best thing that could have happened. I've had physical therapy at other locations for other things, but Shane Sullivan and his team are the best. Clean facility, smooth operation, basically no wait time, knowledgeable and friendly, appropriate equipment/accommodating instruction-easily duplicated at home. SpineScottsdale has helped to return strength, balance and confidence in my mobility. Can't recommend them highly enough.

My doctor wanted me to go see Shane at Spine Scottsdale physical therapy for neck and shoulder pain. This clinic is amazing! The front desk was nice and helpful getting me scheduled. The physical therapist, Shane, spent one-on-one time with me explaining the exercises and watching to make sure I was doing them correctly. I would highly recommend this company to anyone for physical therapy..

I was referred by my endocrinologist to see Shane for my osteoporosis. He was informative, knowledgeable, and passionate about teaching me how to manage my bone health. I would highly recommend his osteoporosis program to anyone interested in improving their posture, strengthening their bones, and preventing fractures. Thank you Shane!

I had a wonderful experience at SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy. I had shoulder pain from lifting weights and I was unable to lift my arm. My doctor told me to go see Shane at SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy. He knew exactly what was wrong and he knew exactly how to fix it. I now have no more pain. Great staff, clean facility. I would highly recommend! Thank you Shane.

A fall resulted in a proximal humerus fracture. Referred to SpineScottsdale by ortho doctor. Shane is THE BEST physical therapist I have ever seen. He is extremely professional while providing the therapies that are individualized to a patient's specific need. He takes the time to develop and maintain an excellent relationship with his patients. The office staff are wonderful and appointments are on time. I am improving my ROM every visit with customized treatment and exercises, while reducing the pain. If you need PT, this is the place to go!

I went to see Shane at SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy with both neck and LBP. After only a few sessions, I started feeling pain relief and I was able to get back to playing golf. I tried acupuncture and chiropractic care with no luck. Shane and his staff are all friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them and I will definitely use them again.
