“I injured myself on Feb. 6, 2024 waking up to excruciating pain in my right hamstring. The next day, some numbness had set in. I initially thought as a trail runner I had a slight tear in my hamstring, but thought that to be unlikely as I did not have a hard workout the weekend prior. I saw my primary care physician who referred me to Empower PT. Their office is conveniently located right off 59th Ave. close to the 101. Tons of ample parking and easy to find in a relatively large medical complex. I was contacted immediately once my referral was received and scheduled 1 day later. Their lobby / entryway is super clean and spacious. All of my info was at the front desk and they were ready to begin assisting me! I was introduced to Nikki Czekaj, my physical therapist. She took soooo much time to listen to me about my injury. She knew exactly what was going on iny body and her plan of attack to assist me getting back to 100% and back on the trails. She took time to explain the exercises, we did them together and she even did conservative light massage efforts and stretches. I've been to a physical therapist in the past where they print out some exercises and put you on a stationary bike or treadmill with no hands-on. Heck, the last PT I went to at another local clinic three years ago didn't even touch me! Nikki at Empower PT was the exact opposite and helped me incredibly. If it were not for her, I would not be anywhere near the condition I am right now. Nikki said 6 to 8 weeks before I'm likely back to feeling 100%. I'm heading into week 7 and am soooo close to being at the same condition I was prior to my injury in early-February. Aside from some numbness in my right hamstring, I am pain-free. I ran /walked for 80-min. yesterday and did approx. 5.3 mi. This doesn't sound earth-shattering, but 7 weeks ago I could hardly walk nor stand due to the pain shooting down both hamstrings. I am no longer seeing Nikki as she stated time will inevitably heal the numbness making it subside. I cannot thank her and the entire staff at Empower PT for their solid execution for the care I received. No scheduling issues. No billing issues. No referral issues. Highly recommended if you're a local athlete in need of physical therapy!“
“I have appreciated the caring, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. My husband and I have both receiving PT treatments that have really helped us! Thank you Desert Edge!“
“Great service from all the staff here. I can tell they all have a passion for helping people because they are very good at explaining things and patient, encouraging, and non-judgmental as I was going through rehabilitation for my elbow injury. I couldn't have chosen a better place for physical therapy. I'm going to continue their services for an old back injury as well. I'm grateful for all the progress that they've me with so far and I'm looking forward to getting even more mobility and to hopefully start trading for a marathon soon.“
“Very important to get your self back to where you need to be and this is where you go to do it“
“The quality of care here is top-tier. The team of people is amazing. Mariah has created a culture for healing. Working with her has been the highlight of my recovery.“
“As a man, I never imagined that pelvic floor physical therapy would become an integral part of my journey towards optimal health and well-being. However, my experience with this specialized form of therapy has given me my quality of life back.I had complications from a hemorrhoidectomy that cause me to have fissures with nowhere to turn for help. I finally found a caring surgeon that recommended pelvic floor PT in order to fully heal my bottom area.As soon as I reached out to Moment of Truth the whole staff from Megan, Amy, and Emily were so comforting and confident they could help me.The only regret I have is not finding them sooner. If I had known about this therapy earlier I most likely would have never needed surgery in the first place because they relieve the tension that causes these nasty things to come out when things are "tight" down there.For any man struggling with pelvic floor issues, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring the benefits of this specialized form of therapy with these amazing women.It's not just about addressing physical discomfort; it's about reclaiming comfort, confidence, and ultimately, quality of life.“
“Extremely helpful, caring, and encouraging. I have been to a few physical rehabs over the years and they do not get better than Swan.“
“6 weeks ago I had total hip replacement done & I was given a list of places to do my rehab through. A couple of the facilities were closed, one was very impersonal so I rolled the dice & went with Center for Athletic Performance & Physical Therapy & havent looked back. I could get an appt right away, staff was warm & inviting, they push you to your limits without causing harm or injury, great at home exercises I could work on but the Best was Andrew. Andrew listens to your concerns, works through the issues & safely guides you on a path to healing successfully. If you had asked me on week one if I would feel this good at week 6 I would have said you were crazy. I know I have a long road ahead of me & a few more session's but they have clearly given me support & keys to success after my approved appointments end. Thank you Andrew & to all the staff for giving me a clear road to healing & looking forward to Physical Therapy again.“
“I am now a patient at Foothills Physical Therapy located on West Deer Valley in Peoria AZ. I I am very pleased with the professionalism as well as the care that I have received. The staff is very welcoming, the facility's are clean and the wait times are almost nonexistent. Additionally, I am beginning to feel stronger and looking forward to a full recovery.“
“Paige is awesome. She is caring, knowledgeable, professional, easy going and friendly. I can't imagine a better therapist.“

“I first learned about Preferred Physical Therapy at the Vintage Vehicles of Sun City on Saturday when visiting my sister and her husband. I had been struggling with shoulder pain while on vacation, and my husband saw their vendor booth and encouraged me to check it out. They worked on my shoulder that day at the car show. That helped so much with my pain, and I was able to enjoy my last days in AZ.I spun a wheel and won a 25-minute stretch, which I received yesterday. They were all so friendly when I arrived. At the end of my session, I was also given some exercises that will help me to lessen my pain in the future.Thanks for everything, you certainly were a godsend.“
