Think Back Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I love the friendliness of the staff and how professional they are. I really felt they cared and they were really invested in my recovery. I will miss going to my appointments with Claire!!

Fantastic experience: Think Back physical therapy is the best in town. They know what they are doing. They explain what they do and why it is important for the exercises. I will not go anywhere else. Triple A+.

Fantastic experience: Claire and the whole team has been great and has taught me things about how to get stronger and to overcome the limitations of my body.

Fantastic experience: The team at Think Back is wonderful. I’ve had personal contact or experiences with Annette, Cindy, Jelise, and Saville. Each of them is personable and always remembers my name. They are easy to work with and very accommodating. The space is quiet and there’s always plenty of space to get my exercises in. If you want individual and personalized attention, this is the place to do your PT. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have had the best recovery with the assistance of all Think Back’s staff! They are all professional, supportive and kind.

Fantastic experience: This place knows their stuff. Withing the first couple visits, my back was unlocked and I was back to normal. In addition, I was taught useful exercises that ACTUALLY helped my lower back rather than generic stretches that I was given by prior PTs. They are, by far, the best I've been to.

Fantastic experience: Think back physical therapy is great in providing my therapy that was needed so I can function again. Being a smaller facility you get more personalized attention. Sure does help me in my daily life. If you're thinking of going somewhere for physical therapy this would be the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Think Back was so helpful for my situation. Though it ended up being another issue with my joints, I still use many of the exercises they had given me for my time there. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. The staff here is very personable, informative and helpful. Great experience

Fantastic experience: Always pleasant and helped my son with his back and hips. Also gave him steps to use at home to further along his stretching moves. Would definitely recommend this facility.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Think Back is so professional and helpful. I’m so grateful for all the help I’ve received and feel better all the time!

Fantastic experience: Think back provides excellent physical therapy and listens to any concerns you might have. I think Annette is a very caring therapist. I recommend Think Back for your physical therapy needs.

Fantastic experience: Think Back physical therapy is great! They helped me through one shoulder replacement a year ago, and I’m about to undergo my second. Would not consider getting PT anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I have used Think Back for two different injuries. They were fantastic and helped me immensely both times. They are very thorough and professional. I highly recommend them for all your PT needs.

Fantastic experience: After years of chiropractic office visits with no tangible results, finally the physical therapist at Think Back found the real problem, explained it to me and showed me the exercises I need to stay injury and pain free. Thank you Think Back!

Fantastic experience: What an awesome place! Claire worked with me for 3-4 SESSIONS! In those sessions she was able to help COMPLETELY alleviate back pain that had persisted for approximately 3 years! I highly recommend Claire and Think Back! Anthony

Fantastic experience: I have been so impressed by Think Back. Everyone there is professional, caring & attentive. They work with you & if there is a stretch or exercise you can't do, they will help you modify it, so you are able. Rather than feeling a failure, you feel stronger & more competent. I would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have found Think Back Therapy to be an excellence place to find relief for my long term back and neck injuries. The PTs and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. The atmosphere is very pleasant. PTs and assign exercises have given me great relief.❤️ Nancy O

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed getting back to optimal health with Dr. Annette and her crew! They know how to keep you motivated with the right exercises to bring you out of your pain. I would highly recommend Think Back Physical Therapy—no referral necessary!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Think Back for the 3rd time in 13 years. I've always had great results. Annette Cruz (owner) & her staff are very professional & experienced yet always take a personal interest in their patients. I highly recommend Think Back for all of your physical therapy needs...not just your back!

Fantastic experience: "Think Back" is a great name! I've spent a lot of my life trying NOT to think about my back -- it's given me so much trouble, and I've been determined not to let it slow me down. At Think Back, though, the focus is on improvement and strengthening, and the attitude is "we know you're here to work on this, and you haven't given up." Everyone who worked with me was positive and encouraging, and contributed to some truly amazing outcomes. I have less pain, more range of motion, and the take-home exercises to help me out when pain does show up. Bless the folks at Think Back for creating a positive environment in which one can stop just fighting pain, and instead work with it to see real, concrete improvements.

Fantastic experience: I had a shoulder injury in Aug 22 and needed physical therapy. I searched throughout Albuquerque and came across this small business. From my first contact with them, my experience was very professional and the customer service was outstanding. I continued with think back until released from the doctor March 23. During my time I worked with every therapist there and was pleased with the professionalism and knowledge of each one of them. I would recommend this business to anyone that needs a great physical Therapy location.

Fantastic experience: This is the only place to go to for PT in Albuquerque. I worked with Tatenda for about 9 months recovering an ACL and he was always fantastic. I improved from barely being able to bend my leg to full range of motion. Tatenda is always attentive, careful, listens and explains everything clearly - it was such a good experience that I actually looked forward to my sessions! Because of my work schedule, I had to switch to another clinic for 1-2 months and I regretted it so much I switched back to Thinkback as soon as possible. Thinkback is a small clinic with personalized care - it is not a franchise where you are delegated to work with university students. You work with real, certified PTs who know what they are doing and care about their patients. In general the clinic is easy to schedule, friendly and highly responsive. I hope to never need PT again, but if I do, I know where I will be going.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience. The staff is kind and friendly. The therapists are knowledgeable and effective. I was very pleased with my sessions and recovery. I would recommend this clinic without any hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Think Back is the best!! I can't say enough about the supportive, patient and knowledgeable staff. I began going to Think Back after 3 back surgeries and I came in with much trepidation. Clare was so patient and careful with me I never thought I'd progress as much as I have. I would recommend Think Back to anyone and have. My 85 year old mother is going there as well and she has improved her balance and strength tremendously.

Fantastic experience: Think Back is an excellent Physical therapy practice. I have used them several times for various injuries. I always choose their practice because they are very knowledgeable, skilled and caring. Recently I had a hard to diagnose foot problem. They helped me heal my foot by thoroughly evaluating the problem, working with me at their location, and giving me exercises to do at home. all of the staff were very patient and kind. They were willing to think outside the box to figure out what was causing the pain. My foot is much better now! Thanks to Think Back, I now know the exercises to do to keep my foot healthy and pain free!

Fantastic experience: THINK BACK PHYSICAL THERAPY CHANGED MY LIFE! I knew it would. That's why I convinced my Dr. to let me start ASAP without waiting for an MRI (3-week wait for the MRI if I was lucky, plus another 2-week wait for the Dr. to tell me about it). In short, I've been in debilitating pain since early December. I could only stand/walk for 3-5 minutes (or less) before burning pain would build running down my left leg to the point of tears. I won't bore you with the details. THE TAKEAWAY here is if you ever have to go through Physical Therapy, embrace it! But, be smart about it. Not all PTs are created equal. Research it, read reviews, pick a successful team, and commit to the treatment plan. Thanks to the pros at Think Back Physical Therapy, I'm at least 80% effective again and getting better every day. Tatenda, Jelise, and the rest of the team really cared about my situation and worked hard to get me back into action by tailoring a treatment plan specific to my needs and adjusting as necessary. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, collaborative atmosphere, and personalized treatment. I've been to other PTs over the years for various issues, but these folks are the best by far!

Fantastic experience: My experience here was very good everyone is very knowledgeable and helpful. My back has never felt any better than it does now. I liked them so much I’m going back to them for my knee replacement therapy . I would recommend think back to everyone.

Fantastic experience: The staff here have a very professional approach. They were always on time. Clear instructions along with take home paperwork for further guidance. I made good progress in reducing my back pain. My Medicare covered everything.

Fantastic experience: Great therapists! Going to Think Back PT was terrific. The people there know what they are doing and are so nice to work with. They run on time and give me all the attention I needed. I would recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I came to think back after my bunion surgery on both feet and they were fantastic in helping me learn to walk again and ouch me through hard obstacles. I would recommend them to anyone!! They really take the time to focus on your therapy.

Fantastic experience: Think Back changed my life. When I first went, I was in immense pain from a longtime injury and did not know what to do about it. Claire (my PT), and her team changed everything for me. I have learned so many ways to properly take care of my back, and I have been pain-free for over two months. I cannot stress this enough; go here for your physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: I am beyond satisfied and grateful for my experience at Think Back Physical Therapy! Every single person who works there is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable in their field of expertise! I have already referred 2 friends to this business and will continue to highly recommend this company!

Fantastic experience: Think Back PT is AMAZING! The team here makes you feel so welcome, safe, and comfortable. I came to them after an injury and surgery and very nervous about PT but they put me at ease and worked wonders. I am fully recovered and I attribute my speedy and complete recovery to the wonderful staff at Think Back PT. I cannot say enough nice things about them and I would (and do) recommend them highly to my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was great and helped me a lot, especially Claire who was the main physical therapist. If I have any more issues I'll be back. Thank you very much. Donald Thompson

Fantastic experience: Truly exceptional for PT. I have a complicated spine case and they have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful in my spine realignment using a multi-prong approach. I would trust them with any injury type. They listen very carefully to the patient and address concerns with tailored treatment plans that remain flexible based on patient feedback. The reception staff and infrastructure makes scheduling/insurance/payment very easy. The facility is exceptionally clean, never crowded, and has modern equipment.

Fantastic experience: My two back surgeries and one shoulder surgery has demanded special care. I don't recall who led me here 7 years ago but I have been extremely fortunate to have been taken care of professionally and caringly by Think Back each and every time. Everyone from Gloria's welcome and smiling face, Jelise for great warmup and conditioning exercises during busy schedules, Annette (The Boss Lady) introducing you to your PT Doc, and mine this time, Claire. Clair is perfection and innately knew just the right spots to tackle and successfully relieve my latest bout with old age and body abuse. Her care from my fall and displaced hip was awesome and truly appreciated. Today I graduated from an initial pain level of 10 to now ZERO. I have responsibilities now to sustain the care and directions given and will certainly do so. My 73 years of youth including military service special operations and wildland fire fighting body abuses for example have all been worth it and the folks in the TBPT family have done miracles to help relieve my aches and pains. If anyone has an aching back, shoulder and hip like I did, TBPT is 'THE' place to go. Thank you Claire and each of you for your warmth and aide in keeping my youth :)

Fantastic experience: Think Back Physical Therapy has been very good to several of our family members. They have helped us with back pain, shoulder pain and hip pain! Very professional and thorough. We have had a great experience with them and plan on using them for all of our PT needs. Thank you Think Back therapists and staff!

Fantastic experience: I used Think Back for a very bad shoulder problem. I saw an ortho surgeon who actually wanted to do a complete shoulder replacement. I decided to do physical therapy instead. I have found d al the therapists and their tech to be competent, committed to my care And paid attention to my progress. I highly recommend Think Back

Fantastic experience: My therapist Annette worked very hard with me to help me recover from an injury. She listened to my feedback and adjusted my therapy accordingly. I highly recommend Think Back PT to anyone requiring PT.

Fantastic experience: I have been to several physical therapy facilities in the last decade-and-a-half and Think back physical therapy is the best physical therapy place I've been to by far. This is the only place where I actually got better instead of worse. I have done physical therapy for a bad lower back, and torn shoulder sevral times and 1 time for a broken foot and this last time 2 torn knees. I went to Think back physical therapy for my foot and my knees. Unlike other places the staff here is in tentative and actually help you get better. The head boss will even take a Hands-On approach to make ligaments and muscles go back to where they're supposed to be. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone.

Fantastic experience: I've been going back to Think Back for many years! I've lived everywhere from Tijeras to Taylor Ranch and I don't mind driving whatever distance I need to get to Think Back. I trust them. Every time I get another athletic injury I call Annette! She is thorough in her evaluations and capable in her choice of therapies. And my favorite part is her hands-on manipulation of traumatized tissue. She is calm and soothing and my go-to. In fact, I think I need more shoulder work!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Think Back are very professional and highly skilled. Their depth of knowledge gives them a variety of techniques to meet their clients' specific needs. If one exercise wasn't effective (every body is different!) then we tried an alternative. As a client, I felt that Think Back personnel provided great support, were kind and diplomatic when correcting my exercise errors, and genuinely listened to me.

Fantastic experience: This place is everything medicine should be. Punctual, great listening across all staff members, and overall focus on your health and time. Dr. Claire is incredibly kind and knowledgeable! I’ve had back pain for years and finally found relief! Thank you, Think Back!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! No matter what age group they specialize in they are very diverse and accommodating! They all are really knowledgeable and friendly! They keep their facility very clean between patients! So COVID safe is a huge plus! Thank you so much Think Back Physical Therapy for all the hard work you do!

Fantastic experience: I worked primarily with Tatenda and Jelise over several months, with a goal of strengthening my core after intestinal surgery, and reducing back pain. Communication was excellent, and Tatenda designed a program that helped me achieve more strength and flexibility in muscles around my core, and I couldn't be happier with the process. My back pain is significantly reduced! I highly recommend this Physical Therapy clinic!

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful physical therapy organization! After the impersonal experience at NM Ortho, I was happy to find a place which gives each customer the individual attention needed. My physical therapist was always helpful and provided instruction when I was doing something wrong. If needed, I will return to Think Back in the future and have already recommended to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Being a former patient, I highly recommend the treatment received from the dedicated staff at Think Back Physical Therapy. My orthopedist referred me to Think Back for treatment associated to an injury to the sciatic nerve. Upon arrival the physical therapist surveyed the injured area and setup a treatment/exercise plan that would reduce pain and increase mobility. Exercises were supplemented with at-home stretches between visits. In coordination with the efforts of the staff, I was able to resume playing golf and to this day still perform those stretches before hitting the course. I would like to extend much appreciation, regard and gratitude to the staff at Think Back for their dedicated service and personal concern.

Fantastic experience: Think Back Physical Therapy has been a real help to several members of my family, from my 88 year old mother, my husband and myself. Each of us has had different needs that have been addressed with individualized treatment plans. The hands on attention of the Therapist is a rare occurrence in many of the other rehab facilities we have used. The Therapy Assistant is very knowledgeable and attentive, as well. Since the first time I used Think Back their treatments have always moved me towards recovery and pain relief. The use of massage has been of special help to me, as well as the stretching and exercise programs. I would highly recommend anyone with chronic pain or recovering from surgery or injury or like my mother who has balance and strength issues to give them an opportunity to help you feel and function better.
