Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy | North Mesa

Fantastic experience: Foothills Sports Medicine at Brown and Lindsay in Mesa, is an extraordinarily good physical therapy provider. I have been there for two separate menus of PT in the last three years. Every one of the staff and therapists I’ve encountered have been knowledgeable, kind, attentive, patient-focused, and highly skilled. In both of my experiences, noticeable improvement occurred, and increased with each session. The facility is clean, well-lit, well-equipped and has a very comfortable vibe, making it a pleasant place to be. I give this facility my very highest recommendation. If you find yourself needing physical therapy, you can do no better than Foothills Sports Medicine.

Fantastic experience: I love this spa! Just kidding, not a spa but I do love this place. From the moment you come in, to the support staff to the therapists, I have nothing but praise and thank you. Clients are greeted by name with consistent friendliness.But more importantly, they excel in the field. Most therapists work on you, they partner with you by asking questions and quickly changing routines so you get maximum results! Even my surgeon is impressed!! Would give a 10 if I could. If you need physical therapy I encourage you to come here for your physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I had PT after knee replacement at Foothills and was pleased with my progress and outcome. They are professional and concerned with your progress to your specific goals. I would highly recommend them! Thank you to all the staff and Jeff Sedler for your great care!

Fantastic experience: Lindsey and the whole team here are great to work with! They go above and beyond to help you feel like yourself again (and have a great sense of humor :-) ).

Fantastic experience: All the staff are friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. My shoulder recovery is nothing less than a miracle. Extensive reconstructive surgery added with the attentive care of Lindsey, Jake, Jeff, Anthony, Edwin, Antonio, Estephania, Zack, David, Yuliya, and Diana. If you looking to get well, or just improve, this is the place you need to schedule with.

Fantastic experience: Excellent services and very professional! I have a pinched nerve at the back of my neck, and since I receive physical therapy services, my conditions improved steadily. I would like to thank Lindsey Fonacier for taking good care of me!

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Dr Lindsey Fonacier and her staff for the excellent treatment I recently received at the Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy in North Mesa. I came there to address some issues that developed after a recent outpatient surgery. Dr Fonacier was very thorough in her evaluation by asking probing questions to identify an appropriate treatment plan and adjusting it as we went along based on her ongoing assessment of my progress. As a result of this evolving treatment plan she developed, the issues I was having have been pretty much resolved. During the treatment process she demonstrated outstanding professionalism, knowledge and interpersonal skills in providing my care. I will definitely be returning to see Dr. Fonacier and her team if I need any physical therapy services in the future.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Lindsey and the staff of Foothills Sports Medicine of North Mesa for the great care and professionalism I received at their facility. I would not have been able to resolve my issues without their knowledge and expertise. I greatly appreciate all the help and care I received. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I had never been to any physical therapy before, so I was kind of apprehensive at first, but it was a great experience. My issue was lower back pain that was hanging on for the last two years. Andy was my physical therapist and came up with a plan to make my back stronger. He was awesome and he really cared. He listened to my concerns and tailored the treatment to my issues. We also set some goals for what I wanted to accomplish. It took about three months and I can now do my everyday activities again with no pain. Cooking, doing laundry and putting away groceries are no problem anymore. I’m also back to walking on my treadmill every day, playing my guitar, and going goofy golfing with my family. Also, the staff there is incredible, professional, and genuine. A really great group of people. I miss seeing them every week. Shout out to Keaton and John for helping me out with my exercises and keeping me on track. Thank you so much Andy, Keaton, and John for everything! If I ever have an issue with any pain again, I will definitely come back!

Fantastic experience: I went here right after I had meniscus surgery. The team here is very attentive and well-trained. They put together a plan and helped me work through it, and made adjustments along the way, and I made a full recovery. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: WONDERFUL STAFF AND SERVICES! Lindsey and her staff are extraordinary. The front office ladies are always friendly and go out of their way to arrange preferred schedules and make the paperwork easy. The PT assistants are all encouraging, kind and inspiring. Shoutouts to David, John and Jillian who always made me feel welcome and supported. Jordan was a big help the very first day by teaching me how to get in and out of my car without pain. And I cannot say enough about Jake who has done so much to strengthen my everyday movement. I am able to pickup my grandchildren without pain! I can get up off the floor without help! His personal attention to the specific needs of each patient is what makes you want to keep coming back as you set new goals. Thank you Desert Foothills!

Fantastic experience: After 18 therapy sessions my knee and hips have greatly improved. The entire staff is welcoming and professional. Thanks Diane for scheduling my 18 sessions at once, so planning my week was easy. My therapist Lindsey was the best, the massages hurt many times, she always found the painful spots and worked on them, and it felt so much better afterwards. Jillian kept me on task, and pointed out when my posture and exercises needed corrections. I will continue my exercise regime at home and hopefully will be fully functioning soon. Thank you Lindsey, Jillian and Diane and all the friendly staff at Foothills Sports Medicine. You will be my physical therapy office for future needs.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Foothills Therapy on Brown Rd for about 3 1/2 months. While all Therapist are good, Jordon Brocker has been working with me for the last 2 months. Jordan is an excellent Phyical Therapist and Patient Advocate. He has helped me navigate though the exercises and focused on where I hurt the worst. He shows a lot of concern for the patients and truly wants to help them get well. The facility is very clean and all staff friendly and helpful. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Best PT experience of my life - and I’ve had a lot of them. The entire staff was attentive, communicative, and fun! I was mostly treated Dr. Fonacier who did an excellent job of getting me on the road to recovery. The other doctors who treated me were also very good. Thank you to the entire staff for helping me in such time of need.

Fantastic experience: I just completed PT after rotator cuff repair surgery on my left shoulder, and I am well on my way to full recovery, thanks in no small part to the entire Foothills Sports Medicine staff. They were not only very competent, as you would expect, but very helpful and very friendly. I worked mostly with therapists Lindsey, Jake, and Jordan. I want to give a special "thanks!" to Jillian, who was immensely helpful in keeping me on track, in a very caring way. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Thank you to everyone at Foothills for the excellent care I received! Jordan is beyond exceptional in his expertise in Physical Therapy. I also worked with Edwin and Jenna who I cannot compliment enough for their care. They were so great to work with and I felt completely comfortable that they had the knowledge to help me correctly with the exercises I needed to do to strengthen my hip. The front desk is wonderful as well! Very caring and concerned about each and every patient that comes in. I highly recommend this location!! Thank you everyone for helping me get my life back!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Foothills Physical Therapy in North Mesa and my physical therapist Jordan. I had shoulder rotator cuff surgery and the recovery takes many months of physical therapy. I used to think physical therapy was not all that necessary, but I am a firm believer in physical therapy now after working with Jordan and seeing the results ! I am so happy I found Foothills and my therapist Jordan. Very nice big facility that had all the right equipment. Jordan was extremely knowledgable and professional and knew exactly what I needed. He is also just a really nice guy and was a pleasure to work with. Jordan was never rushed and he always spent plenty of time working on me at every appointment. He also had great exercise plans for me to do for the remainder of my visit and also gave me great information for exercises at home. I also want to highly recomend John who was the tech I worked with during my exercises after Jordan worked on stretching me at each visit. John was always on top of what was going on and would be there to demonstrate how to do an exercise and what I had to do next. He was very, very helpful in my recovery. Thanks to Foothills, Jordan and the crew I am pain free and able to move and lift weights with this shoulder again !!

Fantastic experience: I had vertigo and had dizzy spells pretty bad. I had 3 different people recommend Jake Kelso. I called the facility where he had worked. They said he no longer was employed there and does not do physical therapy anymore. I made my appointment at that facility and went one time for vertigo therapy. It was ok but did not help. I was persistent to find Jake Kelso because he came so highly recommended by 3 different people. He is honest and does not drag out unnecessary appointments like some places do. I did a google search For Jake Kelso and found him! He works at Foothills in the Gilbert/ Mesa office! His past company lost a great person! That's probably why they said he does not do physical therapy any more. I'm so glad I found him. He is GREAT! He is patient, listens, very knowledgeable, gives exceptional care I can't commend him enough. I had physical therapy for 2 days in a row with Jake Kelso. My therapy went great and I don't have vertigo anymore. I am no longer dizzy and worrying about falling, driving etc. He is the best. I feel great since Jake helped me with my vertigo. SEE Jake Kelso he is the best. Definitely worth the drive and time to see him!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tom Carter recommended Foothills after my knee surgery. Jake helped me to restore my range of motion without pain. I’m so grateful to have gone to Foothills. Everyone there is professional, kind and made me feel at home❣️

Fantastic experience: I went to foothills to rehab my foot. After struggling for months and being misdiagnosed I got a second opinion and got the issue corrected. After being casted and then booted I needed therapy. Andy was super patient with me and my PTSD from the previous experience. He took the time to listen to me and my pain. He channeled my enthusiasm to get back to my normal activity and provided me with exercises that would build my strength back so I could return safely. I was back on my bike and hitting the hiking trails this weekend after several months and it felt so good. Thanks Andy!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend going here and working with Jordan and John. After 5 years of back pain from an injury, the team gave me an easy to follow treatment plan and my pain has been drastically reduced. It’s a great environment and wonderful place to get your recovery underway.

Fantastic experience: Lindsay is an absolute sweet heart. We live out of state but were back in Mesa for A month. We still had to continue therapy and were referred here. We are so grateful for this team for meeting our 10 year old son where he was. They made therapy fun and he enjoyed going. You will certainly be in good hands if you go to them for physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: From my first experience with physical therapy, this has been a great experience! All the technicians are nice, friendly and help you with your workouts and stretching. The two physical therapists I work with, Lindsay and Jordan, are both great! They both have different approaches which gives you different ways to work your muscles back into shape and helps in the recovery process. Foothills North Mesa has a truly great team that will help with your recovery as well as leave every visit with a smile knowing you have also made some friends.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been healing my ankle here for about 3 months now and I can proudly say they have helped tremendously. From diagnosing, to listening to any of the patient’s symptoms, they do it all here. Lindsay Fonacier is a great and cheerful therapist. Dr. Kelso always keeps his patients cheerful and optimistic. Overall I great clinic and I recommend this for any athletes looking to recover!

Fantastic experience: Over the past 10 years I have had chronic back pain and have seen various healthcare providers with some level of relief. I started seeing Lindsey 5 years ago and she has tailored programs for each of my episodes. She really is in tune to my specific medical needs and talks me through the mental part of chronic pain. I am always amazed how smart she is and knows what to zero in on to help me improve with each visit. Lindsey has a very attentive team supporting her who are knowledgeable and a joy to work with. They take time with each of my visits to assess my pain level and adjust my workout accordingly. There is a very positive atmosphere at this center which helps with ones recovery. I would highly recommend Lindsey and her team for your physical therapy needs, but please don't take my time slot.

Fantastic experience: Facility is very professional, yet friendly. Excellent medical care from Physical Therapist Lindsey and tech Jillian who guided me through my steps every session. Their positive attitudes and focus on patient care contributed to my successful rehab. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Foothills. My therapist, Lindsey, has been instrumental in helping me regain mobility and strength. The whole staff are amazing. I love that I’m welcomed by name and treated with respect and kindness.

Fantastic experience: Iwas impressed from the 1st vist we had! Absolutely love Foothills Physical Therapy. Took my daughter there for shoulder issues. Evweyone was awesome, from Sarah and Alex at the front desk to Andrew, my daughters therapist, and everyone else. Sorry, I don't know all of there names. Will recommend this location if Foothills Physical Therapy to anyone! They made my daughter and I feel welcomed every time we were in.

Fantastic experience: Grateful for the attentive care and support from Lindsey and her coworkers! All of the staff was kind, fun and always on top of the next task. Thank you for helping make my surgery recovery a positive experience!

Fantastic experience: Service was excellent. They all did a grèat job, Very well pleased. Lindsey was exceptional. She made me feel relaxed and personable. At the same time observing all the other patients to make sure all was going well. She gets an A plus. Pat Just

Fantastic experience: Sciatica pains sucks. I saw Jake Kelso for about 2 months. He didn't just immediately help reduce, and eventually resolve, my Sciatica pain, he fully listened to me and cared about my worries and concerns. Each time I saw him he asked me specifically how bad my pain was, where was it hurting, what activity was making it worse or better. I didn't just want to be healed, I wanted to know everything about my injury. I asked him a bazillion questions and he patiently and fully answered them all, and clearly enjoyed talking about his profession. He is an experienced professional and knows exactly what he is doing. I am virtually pain free now and he provided me with the knowledge and tools (exercises) to get me fully healed, in time. It appeared that all the therapists there are just as kind, caring and qualified as Jake. They all focused carefully on each of their patients like doting parents. The rest of staff there were wonderful as well (especially Keaton). They are all friendly, kind, caring and full of smiles. They genuinely love what they do, and it showed every time I went. I especially liked the way the entire team there works together. They have great choreography and chemistry, and make each visit there as comfortable and relaxing as they can. Bottom line, I cannot recommend this place enough. They resolved my pain and did it quickly and professionally. You can trust this place.

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience! Professional staff that doesn't try and up-sale things you don't need. They focus on what needs to be addressed and get right to it. As I age I expect to have more surgeries as I am very active and will always be. As I need treatment I will always, always, always, go back to see Lindsey and her staff. If I could give six stars I would! This place is a must if you are needing/seeking any type of PT or Sports Medicine.

Fantastic experience: Highly professional caring staff. Everyone is attentive and kind. Therapist Lindsay Fonacier carefully monitors your progress and prescribes appropriate exercises. She is very knowledgeable, making sure patients understand their condition and how therapy will make them stronger. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: First visit was today. Lindsey was great. Took the time to explain why each exercise was beneficial. The entire staff was friendly and went out of their way to help!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Foothills. The entire staff was friendly, professional and helpful, especially Heidi and Jillian. My PT Lindsey was so knowledgeable and helped me find relief from my pain and discomfort. It was never a chore to go to my appts. She gave me exercises and stretches that I continue to do to build strength and stability. I know that they are nearby when/if I need PT treatment again. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: This is my first experience with PT. I have to say, wow! It has been life changing and completely worth it. My PT has been Lindsey Fonacier and she is a pro, knows her stuff, educates you as you go and is super helpful. The whole staff is great! Looking forward to getting stronger and more educated about my body. Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: I've dealt with lower back injuries the last few years and the last time I injured my lower back I was recommended by my doctor to do Physical Therapy, but I neglected to do so. I was a skeptic of Physical Therapy like many people are, but after this most recent lower back injury I took my doctor's advice and was referred to Foothills Sports Medicine. I will honestly say this was one of the best decisions i've made regarding my lower back. Everyone at Foothills Sports Medicine is very professional and loves to help their clients feel better. The atmosphere at Foothills is very relaxed and the physical therapists are very "down-to-earth" and understand all your needs. Lindsey Fonacier was the PT I worked with the majority of the month I was going to Foothills. She initially sat down with me to figure out my trouble spots and assessed my pain level. She then came up with a game exercise plan that worked towards strengthening my lower and increasing my mobility. All of the goals that were set when I first sat down with Lindsey were achieved and then some. I want to personally thank Lindsey, and everyone at Foothills Sports Medicine for their hard work! Thanks, William Boutin

Fantastic experience: My name is Matt. I'm 57 1/2 years old and have been to many physical therapists over the years, but Lyndsey Fonacier is by far the best I've seen. She always knows what to do to relieve my aches and pains. She is very clear and concise about explaining the different exercises and stretches. She is also very nice and fun to be around. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs physical therapy!! I would like to also state that the whole staff is very good and very nice!!!

Fantastic experience: Lindsey F. was FANTASTIC!! I wasn't sure I would "recover". She explained what I was dealing with, giving me updates on my progress and how to advance my rehab. She's a GEM!! Thanks to all, Lindsey, Jillian, Taylor, Heidi, Jeff and all. You all are a great group of people!

Fantastic experience: The staff here is professional enough to heal any athletic injury, while also genuinely kind enough to get to know you. I went in limping due to an embarrassing hip injury (to give you prospective... I’m 30) and by the end of my treatments, I have been running every other day. The exercises target the appropriate area, the conversion is scintillating, and the healing process makes you want to show up everyday!

Fantastic experience: What a great experience at Foothills-North Mesa! Everyone is so friendly and personable, I actually looked forward to every PT appointment. They make you want to do your best with progressing in your recovery. Taylor & Jillian are WONDERFUL! They work hard, running everywhere, getting machines set up, etc. and always knowledgeable, cheerful & helpful - I honestly don’t know how they do it! I will definitely miss everyone at Foothills-North Mesa, as today is my last day. Thank you all! I highly recommend Foothills-North Mesa, if you are in need of physical therapy, they are the BEST!

Fantastic experience: I went to Foothills with ear, neck and shoulder pain. I left 6 weeks later with NO ear, neck or shoulder pain. My therapist was Lindsey and she did a terrific job. During the 6 weeks of therapy, I had many conversations with her and can tell why she’s so good at what she does. Lindsey truly cares about each individual patient and strives to make a difference in their life. Her team of technicians take her lead and are always watching to assure exercises are done properly. When my wife and I have a need for physical therapy, we go to Foothills and we go to Foothills because of Lindsey and her team.

Fantastic experience: I had a problem with tenosynovitis in my shoulder which I had dealt with for several months. I went to see my doctor who referred me to Foothills Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy. Lindsey was my physical therapist. I worked with her and the staff twice a week for six weeks and now am virtually pain free and have full range of motion in my shoulder again. I'm very grateful to Lindsey and especially Ray and Gillian who helped me through this. I recommend Foothills without any reservation if you should require physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: First visit was today. Lindsey was so informative, I now understand what is going on with my muscles. Other staff that I met was very helpful also. All very aware of safety during Covid.

Fantastic experience: I can not express how pleased I am with the services that I have received from Foothills PT North Mesa. From the front desk to the end of my sessions, I have felt well-taken care of. The care and services are personalized and always with a smile. Lindsey has been amazing! She truly listens and attends to my concerns each and every visit. I highly recommend this clinic and am really glad that my orthopedic surgeon referred me here.

Fantastic experience: Excellent therapy by excellent staff. Foothills Therapy was suggested by a good friend who had excellent results. My recovery time was expected to run around four months. The Foothills staff evaluated my injuries consisting of six broken ribs and broken right scapula, and devised a series of exercises to provide strength and mobility. After only six weeks of concentrated effort and wonderful care I have obtained full arm mobility, and with the exception of my bones healing completely, I no longer have any pain associated with my injuries. I highly recommend Foothills Rehab in North Mesa. Not only did I get great results, but the entire staff made it fun to workout.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Tobler Physical Therapy by my orthopedic surgeon post surgery for a broker collar bone. The front office staff was helpful and friendly. My treating PT was Lindsey. Every visit I found her to be knowledgeable and professional. My visits with her were very instrumental in my recovery. Because of Lindsay and Sally's expertise, my recovery progressed faster than excepted and my range of motion quickly restored. I appreciate all the work Lindsay, Jeff, Sally and Taylor provided me during my therapy. They are all incredible, hard working and efficient; I would recommend Tobler PT to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a pelvic floor specialist and I am so thankful that I found Lindsey! She is extremely knowledgeable and always made me feel comfortable. It is very difficult to find a PT who specializes in pelvic floor, and if you are looking for someone who can help, I highly recommend Lindsey! I had been in PT for almost a year until I found Lindsey, and with her help, I felt so much better after 2 months (going only 1x per week) then I had in a year of regular PT.
