Limped in with back and hamstring pain, walked out without any. I’m a very active person so having lumbar and hamstring issues was very new to me. Colton, Nick, Hannah, and Justin took a lot of time to get down to my root problems and created a custom plan tailored to my issues. Nothing cookie cutter here. I could not recommend this clinic more!

Preferred Physical Therapy has the best team of therapists I have been associated with. They listen to your needs, they're knowledgeable, caring, and apply their knowledge to get you the best results for exercises required for your activities to help you succeed. I have been to other physical therapy providers, but none have been as successful to me as Preferre PT. I highly recommend Preferred Physical Therapy for any physical therapy required.

I went to PPT for two different injuries. They are absolutely incredible. I had really lost hope that I would gain full mobility back in my wrist, and now I even forget that I had that injury. I found them by luck and I’m so glad I did. The PTs are awesome and the women at the desk are beyond kind. If you’re looking for a friendly welcoming environment with an incredible staff, this is the place to go, 100%!

I have had pain from hip issues for more than 5 years. I have done months of PT at each of 5 different Physical therapy groups and none, as well as 2 doctors at Mayo Clinic, knew why I was hurting and what to do about it.
Doctor Chow said to try physical therapy one more time and he would tell them exactly which exercise protocol to use. When I took the physical therapy prescription to Nick at Preferred Physical Therapy, he knew exactly what the doctor wanted and said that they would have treated me that way anyway! After only a few weeks, my pain was decreasing.

I had a great experience. 1:1 attention ALWAYS which is important when learning proper ways to move through your exercises, both at the clinic and at home. Thorough and knowledgeable staff. I received home exercises which were tailored to my needs and doable at home. 5 stars for sure. Back pain free after 6 sessions.

When I went there I could barely walk and was limping for two years, I have had one prior surgery on my right ankle and was still not able fully recover. I found Dr Ryan Scott and he did my new surgery and found that I had two torn tendons. He fixed them and I was told by a family member to try Preferred Physical Therapy. In the last 35 years I have had many surgeries and tried Physical Therapy many times and none of them were like this place. At Preferred PT, I noticed as I watched the team care for others and myself that they were very knowledgeable and really cared about the patients and getting

When I was referred to Preferred Physical Therapy ,I had back and right hip pain. The pain was about a four on a ten point scale. They did an analysis, and designed a program for me, after a couple of months of therapy, my pain is almost gone. Upon completion of my therapy, they developed an exercise program for me to use at home.
The team treated me like family.
Thanks for the awesome program.

Preferred Physical Therpay is the best. I recently had a back injury and for the 1st month it felt like I would never walk normally again, it was scary, distracting, and depressing. I was incredibly nervous going into PT for the first time and by the end of my 2/3 months I spent with the team at PPT they honestly felt like friends and family and I am now walking normally. Every single person that you work with not only is incredibly knowledgeable and good at their job, but more importantly (at least for me) they are incredibly kind and generous with their time. I mainly worked with Justin (ask

Nick, I just wanted to thank you and your staff for great attitudes and great workmanship. Each employee shines but I really enjoyed Alyssa. Her professionalism, demeanor, knowledge, patience and skills are outstanding. When she worked on my neck I had relief for the next couple of days. Coming every other day was nice, I had many days of relief.The exercises that I was taught have also been helpful. I would recommend anyone that is considering physical therapy to give Nick's team a try. They are a very nice, knowledgeable group!

Preferred physical therapy is excellent place to address back pain after an injury. Wish l had started sooner and not procrastinated thinking would get better on its own
Have done PT in past and this practice by far the best. Skilled practitioners work with you every session and listen to your concerns and address with great options. Conscientious support staff. Home programs are beneficial and body mechanics and conditioning support timely recovery. Even addressing pain here can be fun and put a smile of your face!
Fully recommend this practice.

About , 3 months ago I got hit with sciatica low back and down my legs. I went to my primary care and she recommended physical therapy for about a month. Preferred Physical therapy was where I was directed and I was very pleased with the results, I left there pain free and my wife and I are back walking. I was given follow up exercises that I do daily as a part of my routine and I am back to walking without discomfort. The other day my wife said I noticed you have picked up speed and the discomfort is gone. Thanks to all of you at Preferred. I recommend this group very highly they take a personal

Preferred Physical Therapy has changed my life! Their therapist and facility is head and shoulders above my previous experience with physical therapy!
I was in so much pain from bulging disc in c5&6, I couldn't sit for more than 30 minutes or sleep for more than an hour or two a night. I wanted a solution that didn't include opioid pain killers, so my doctor ordered physical therapy for me, I was very skeptical because of my previous experience with a different PT, but I was DESPERATE and would try anything (excluding pain killers) to resolve this pain.

Preferred PT of AZ is a well-equipped clinic. It is well set up and has a very nice environment. Their therapists have great manual skills and they are focused in the patient's care. They have great teamwork. They make me feel comfortable and make sure I do the techniques properly. They encourage me to do the exercises at home by providing me the written instructions with graphics.
Their staff are all very friendly. They know all their patients by name, and patients are received by a warm hello as soon as they step in the clinic. The owner, Nick Hunter is the best. He is very professional

Every now and again, one finds a gem. Nick Hunter and his staff are a wonderful example. From your initial intake to additional follow-up visits, you are recognized as the important individual you are. Always greeted by your first name, you feel right at home and accepted from the get-go. Believe me when I say that you really look forward to your treatment despite the physical discomforts that caused you to be there in the first place. For a one-stop-shop, see Dr. Nick, his intake staff, and all the PT therapists for a truly caring experience.

Everything about PPT is amazing. From the moment I called, Kathleen was so accommodating. She worked with my schedule to get in immediately. When I told the group that I would loose my current insurance due to unemployment, they bent over backwards to make sure I met my goals prior to being released.
Knee pain is no fun but Austin sure made everything about my visits fun. He is so engaged, detailed, watchful and answers all of your questions. Nick and team are the same way.
PPT is like no other PT office I have been to. It is super friendly, efficient, attentive to detail and can answer any question

I have been to a couple physical therapy offices, & Preferred Physical Therapy exceeds them all by light years. It's not even close!
What you want in a physical therapist is someone who is obsessed with every minor detail in the human body & how it works. They need to be relentless at finding every degree of your motion, posture, flexibility, muscle imbalance, everything! Because it all adds up.
This is what you get with Nick Hunter & Austin! Obsessed with getting you back to your old self, seeing progress, & ultimately - they want to see your joy back

Due to unfortunate circumstances I had to go to physical therapy and I wasn't happy about it in the slightest. I was recommended this place and was encouraged to go and I am more than happy about every single visit at this office.
I cannot believe how pleasant this experience has been given the situation. The staff is incredibly compassionate and they make each visit very comfortable and actually quite fun! I look forward to my PT days because not only do I leave pain free, I can feel myself getting stronger and the staff makes every visit a great one. I feel welcomed when I arrive and scheduling

I have been seeing Preferred Physical Therapy for 3 weeks to help with a knee problem. After evaluation, Nick Hunter and his staff set up, and supervised, a therapy program which has helped to eliminate almost all of the pain I was experiencing, and getting me on the way to a full recovery. I am an avid golfer, and up to last week, I was not able to even think about golfing. Now, with his in-office repertoire and my home exercises, I am back to golfing again.
