I have been going to Foothills Physical Therapy for two years. Ryan has helped me get out of a wheelchair to walking. Ryan is the best therapist I have ever had. All of the staff at foothills physical therapy are friendly and professional.

Very much enjoy going to physical therapy, though I don't love that I need to go. If you do have to go, it's nice to at least go to a place where the people are friendly, entertaining, and know what they're talking about. I've had rapid improvement and credit that totally to the therapists.

Forrest is innovative and takes the time to see you and the problem that you have and tackles it head on. He is teaching me to walk again.after having my feet fused. He has me doing exercises that I had not done before and I have had over 5 years of therapy and never encountered these. So if you want to solve the problem why you are there....definitely go to Forrest!

Ryan is by far THE BEST therapist we've ever had! Thorough, wonderful bed-side manner, truly listens and cares and goes way above and beyond! He has helped my son so so much in such a short time. We love him and will always use him for our PT needs!

I am writing on behalf of myself (Karen Walker) and my long-time boyfriend (Jack Ballew). Although we had both used Foothills PT several years ago, Jack recently had a fall, tore his quad tendon and had to have surgery to have it repaired and re-attached to a prior knee replacement site. He was, and still is, in a hip to ankle leg brace which keeps the knee entirely immobile, and after seven weeks began PT. The surgeon approved Foothills, which was our first choice based on our prior experiences; and we headed over to present the prescription for services. The two women in the office/front desk

This is the place to go if you want to actually look forward to therapy! Sounds crazy right? Well, this team of therapists make it fun and help you make huge strides very quickly. I’ve received THE best care here. I’m almost done and I’m going to leave stronger than I’ve ever been. I’ve struggled with my knees since high school. After partially dislocating one this year, I will now walk out better than ever. They truly care about your progress, your life and your goals. There’s not one session that goes by that I didn’t have a good laugh at. This place is more than just a therapy
