Riley has been with Foothills since 2016 and originally started as a Technician. During his grandmother’s recovery from a double knee replacement, he was by her side. After seeing how it helped her, he was inspired to pursue a career as a physical therapy assistant (PTA). Riley has a special interest in helping athletes return to sport, gait analysis, and functional corrective activities.
If you are unlucky enough to hurt yourself, you couldn’t ask for a better place to come to get better. From the moment you enter till you are finished they are helpful, they know who you are and there is a general feeling of well being. Put that together with a knowledgeable staff and you are well on your way to recovery. I wasn’t happy to be with them here but they made it worth the effort.
I was fortunate enough to stumble, pun intended, into this therapy site for some post-procedure hip tendon rehab. I am much better than I was when I started and I’m hoping for continued improvement as I continue the techniques and exercises they taught me. I have been to several therapists over the years for a variety of issues including this one and this has been by far the best experience yet. Much of the success was undoubtedly due to the excellent care provided by the very knowledgeable therapist and assistant, Michelle and Maden.
Highly recommend going to Foothills, particularly this location, for PT. I’ve had great experiences with all the Dr.‘s and techs and would choose Foothills again in the future. They also accept most insurances which is a huge plus.
Just finished my therapy series with Ellie and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I was suffering from hip/lower back pain during my runs and daily activities, and Ellie addressed my challenges both with her own maneuvering and a series of focused exercises. She was extremely knowledgeable and listened to my progress throughout the week’s sessions and made adjustments that were always positive. She and Nicole were always pleasant and this added to the great experience. In fact, all staff were warm and attentive even though I wasn’t specifically their patient. I highly recommend Foothills, thanks for a great experience!
Amazing experience as a frequent flyer at Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy!! Michelle is so supportive and knowledgeable – a true expert in her field. The whole team is friendly and goes above and beyond to help their patients.
After having a total knee replacement I was referred to Michelle from another PT who did not accept my insurance. I called the office and was able to schedule an appointment the next day. All I can say is that the entire staff and team of therapists are phenomenal. They are all extremely caring and dedicated. They pushed me when I needed a little nudging while backing off if I needed that as well. I have since completed my rehab and could not be any happier. Thank you to the entire team.

Fantastic experience: Stacey and Amir are both very caring. They both take an interest in helping patients return to the best possible. Can’t begin to thank them enough for their kindness during my recovery.
Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to be recommended this location after having trouble finding the right therapy for me. I specifically worked with Stacey and Amir. They are extremely knowledgeable, attentive and make sure you don't feel like another number. They answered all my questions and helped me understand and feel confident for every step of my recovery. If you're ever in need I cannot recommend their services enough.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Foothills PT is so helpful to get me back in shape. Great atmosphere and good work out.
Fantastic experience: I have needed physical therapy on two occasions, once for my back and the second time for torn tendons in my shoulder. Michelle, the senior therapist, used dry needling on my back, and the results were outstanding. I have a congenital back problem, called spondylolisthesis, which can cause problems, but the dry needling has been magnificent in alleviating pain. Several years later, I went back for shoulder therapy, and it has worked extraordinarily well, making unnecessary a shoulder replacement. Robert W Bertrand.
Fantastic experience: Ellie and Nicole are the BEST! Foothills Sports Medicine is an outstanding place to help with healing, repairing and fixing physical therapy issues. I am so pleased that I was recommended to this facility.

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with my experiences at Foothills Physical Therapy and Sports Mledicine. As soon as you walk in, you will be greeted by friendly faces.

They are great at explaining the reason for specific exercises. Ellie and Riley and their assistants are also great. It’s a happy place!! The facility itself is super clean, bright, airy atmosphere, with lots of natural light. I highly recommend Foothills at Tatum and Cholla.
Fantastic experience: I have been receiving physical therapy since June at Foothills Sports Medicine PT - Paradise Valley. The physical therapists, assistants and office staff have been suppportive and friendly throughout my entire experience. The therapists, Ellie, Ryan, and Michelle are attentive and kind, listen to any concerns I may have and remain professional throughout each session. The assistants, Maeden, Nina, Nicole, and Chris are encouraging, help me keep track of my various exercises and always check to make sure that I am doing them with proper form. Alyssa, Chelsea, and Natalie at the front desk always greet me with a smile, book my appointments and when I have needed to change an appointment, they are patient and find one that works for me. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to help me during my healing process.
Fantastic experience: After having Hip Surgery, my wife actually recommended me to Foothills, as she previously had PT. The staff at Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy are wonderful. Everyone from the time you walk in front office to the therapists and their assistants is great! I truly appreciate Amir, he always has a smile to brighten every patient that walks into Foothills. He is a Superstar. (Hopefully he learns to catch a football) Stacy my Smiling Physical Therapist has consistently helped me, she pushes when she can, and realizes when I'm unable. Stacy takes the time to explain why and how certain exercises benefit my hip recovery. I truly appreciate her professionalism. Riley- is aight also. Still waiting on my Margarita or Martini I highly recommend this business.

Fantastic experience: My wonky right knee was in need of PT prior to a trip. Ellie Ladensack (assisted by Maedenn Libao) was assigned as my therapist and she is absolutely terrific. In 8 weeks (2x per week) she helped my knee improve much more than I thought possible. Both Ellie and Maedenn are excellent communicators, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with. Foothills Tatum is a great place for PT (pain & torture) - from the front desk on, everyone is friendly, welcoming and professional.

Fantastic experience: Michelle was stellar. Wonderful communicator and physical therapist. Not that I ever want to need PT again, but if I do, I’ll be going here
Fantastic experience: So happy I found Foothills on Tatum…I highly recommend! Michelle, my physical therapist, was outstanding! Her knowledge of my needs was amazing! On occasion I saw some of the other PT’s and they were also top notch! The whole crew that worked with me was very knowledgeable and supportive! Shout out to Maiden and Emily! After my extensive back surgery I needed to get the body moving and wasn’t quite sure how to accomplish that. I’ve done PT in the past without much progress, so I wasn’t too optimistic going in! I’m happy to say I’m feeling good and now able to do so many things I couldn’t before! Now I need to just continue what they taught me☺️…and get my body back into shape! Thanks Michelle!

I’ve seen her with every age group and their is no one she can’t work with!! If you need a PT, this is your spot!
Fantastic experience: When I had rotator cuff surgery on July 15, 2021 the doctor put in 7 anchors. If you ask anyone who knows what is the worst surgery a person could ever experience they would say rotator cuff surgery. This is absolutely true. It is very hard work on my part for this rehabilitation, but it could not be this successful for me without the most caring team, Jaime and Emily, at Foothills Sports Medicine on Tatum. They are truly there for me and cheer me on each new step of my up hill climb. Thank you Jaime and Emily. You guys are the best! Hugs, Sheila

Fantastic experience: Jaime and Emily are the best! I tore my achilles and these amazing women assured me I would be back when I was confident I was ruined.

Fantastic experience: I received physical therapy after having a total hip replacement. I can't say enough about the care I got. Emily and Jamie worked with me throughout. They were truly concerned about my progress and gave me much encouragement when I felt discouraged. I would recommend Foothills Sports Medicine to anyone. Thanks to them I am Back on my feet, back to my normal activities!
Fantastic experience: I've spent a lot of time in physical therapy over the years due to sport and work injuries. And I've been a patient of various physical therapy establishments. Foothills at Tatum and Cholla is easily the best I've been to. From the front desk staff to the therapists and their assistants, the staff is very professional and personable.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been dealing with a nagging injury for several years and finally am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Michelle was amazing to work with, developing and closely monitoring a specific exercise routine for my situation. Jessica assisted every day and helped me stay on track and fine tune my technique. I had lots of questions and they both patiently addressed all my concerns. I’m already seeing positive results and am more motivated than ever to continue on my own because of their encouragement and their genuine excitement about my progress. Clark filled in occasionally and provided a seamless continuation of professional care and guidance. Taylor worked with me for several weeks as a trainee under Michelle’s tutelage and also provided excellent care. Basically, the entire staff I had interaction with, starting with Samantha at the front desk, were positive, knowledgeable, and caring throughout my course of therapy. I will highly recommend this group to any person needing physical rehabilitation!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Michelle and the team at Foothills are great. With their help, I went from not being able to move my shoulder to quickly having full range of motion. They are always friendly, supportive and effective.
Fantastic experience: Having experienced seven various orthopedic surgeries, I've been to lots of different physical therapists over the years. After my last two surgeries, I went to see Michelle Bogert at Foothills and had the best experience ever! She and her team members patiently guided me through a continuously challenging routine. Her knowledge and expertise helped me progress and heal from a traumatic injury. Michelle was always ready to listen to my input and tailored an exercise program that respected the many limitations I have. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and Foothills!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Michelle and Michael for all of my PT needs and couldn't be happier! I have a physically demanding job and a very active lifestyle and they have kept me going strong for years. They're great with working with my crazy schedule and get me back to work stronger and healthier! The entire staff is friendly, helpful and caring. If you're looking for a place to start your therapy stop looking and call the Foothills team at the Tatum location! Thanks so much to everyone there for being AWESOME!!
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about my experience at Foothills- Paradise Valley. After a total knee replacement I was in pain physically and also emotionally upset with the experience. Michael was very understanding as I bawled through the initial consultation. I was scared. After 12 weeks of dedicated therapy under Michael's expert and kind care I am now pain free, back to doing my normal activities and even anticipating doing my other knee. I never missed a session and I was faithful doing my exercises at home on the off days. EVERYONE at this center is friendly and helpful... I also experienced therapists Michelle and Jenny and they were both great. Jess and Taylor were my main exercise coaches and they are both knowledgeable and personable and I look forward to working with them all again...I may shed some tears again, but I know the outcome will be excellent. The facility is beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. It was even fun!
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I was reluctant to go to physical therapy after my foot surgery after having bad experiences from other PT facilities. However, I can say that I was extremely pleased with Michelle, her team and my PT program. Michelle took time to listen to my concerns at my initial appointment and then to follow-up in the coming weeks to make sure that I was not in pain or having any other concerns. Everyone at this location was very friendly and helpful. The facility was always clean and just the right sized facility to not be overwhelming. The level of care was excellent and I would definitely return if I need PT in the future.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful facility with friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. I had a total knee replacement and after 8 weeks completed PT. On my 8 weeks post surgery (to the day) I resumed tennis clinics and have started playing tennis doubles again. I credit Foothills Physical Therapy for their fantastic expertise and help in getting me through. I actually looked forward to my appointments. Appointment flexibility was great. Michael was an awesome PT therapist. He explained everything thoroughly and was very encouraging and positive even when I was experiencing small set-backs! Taylor was right there to make sure I was doing everything right and kept everything positive. Thanks Foothills Physical Therapy!
Fantastic experience: I thought I had a hernia, but after seeing my doctor he said it appears to be a pulled groin muscle and recommended some therapy.. I had been been putting up with this pain for about three months. I went to Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy where I met Michael Price, PT, DPT, CSCS. He diagnosed my ailment (confirming what my doctor thought), worked on my muscles using stretch therapy AND dry needle. Michael's technical expertise, very hands on therapy, and a positive outlook that my issue could be resolved were commendable. His support technician, Amber, did an excellent job monitoring my exercises. The receptionist was very cordial, and promptly sent me schedule reminders. After 4 weeks of therapy (3x/week), I am now back to normal. Great place! I highly recommend the Foothills staff at this location.
Fantastic experience: I had major shoulder surgery where everything was wrong with it except the labrum. I had 6 screws inserted and I knew rehab was going to be tough. Michelle Bogert and her staff did a wonderful job at Foothills getting me through both the physical and mental aspects of this long and painful rehab. I always had to give Michelle an update on how my rehab exercises were going so she knew what needed tweaking or something else added for my home exercises. Then when it came to strengthening the shoulder it was the same. Michelle wanted to know what was working and what wasn’t at the gym. She told me things to change or other types of exercises to help strengthen a certain range of motion. In the end she did a fantastic job pushing me but staying positive and encouraging, which helped me a ton with getting through this. I highly recommend using Foothills for any rehab needs.
Fantastic experience: I had a total knee replacement 2 weeks ago and have been going to Foothills Sports Medicine Paradise Valley on Tatum, since day 3 of my surgery. I am very pleased with the courteous service at the front desk and the knowledgeable and helpful staff. I work with Michael, Chris and Stacey and they all are very caring ,helpful and doing everything to help me to get back to normal and getting my knee in the range it needs to be again. I would highly recommend going there.
Fantastic experience: I went to Foothills for Physical Therapy after a total knee replacement. I chose this facility because of the successful outcome my husband had there after his total shoulder joint replacement. His therapist was Michael and mine was Michelle Bogert. Both are amazing! I began my treatment on July 2nd. Foothill's social distancing is topnotch. I felt very comfortable there. The facility is large, open and very appealing. All the staff are caring and upbeat. There is a friendly positive atmosphere from the moment you walk in the door. Adam and Jessie assisted with my conditioning and strengthening exercises. Both were very caring and helpful and always in contact with Michelle regarding my progress. Michelle is topnotch in all regards. She is so knowledgeable and caring and the best listener ever. Michelle and the staff helped me progress beyond my expectations. Thank you All so much!
Fantastic experience: Michael and Michelle are top rate therapists. They care about you personally and really help you feel better. Samantha and Raquel at the front desk are kind, and put a smile on your face.The whole staff has fun and there is a great atmosphere. The facilities are clean and covid precautions are taken seriously. I highly recommend this place and would take my grandmother here.
Fantastic experience: I came to Foothills (Tatum and Cholla location) on my wife's recommendation, she was being treated for a back issue and I was looking for PT for a neck issue. I couldn't have been happier with my experience at Foothills, Michael was my therapist and upon meeting him for my initial evaluation it was clear he was an expert. My sessions with Michael went great and my issue was much, much better within just a few weeks, and with the home treatment program they gave me I am able to keep my neck issue under control with no pain or restriction of movement -- as long as I keep up with my exercises! The entire staff at the location was top notch also -- Taylor was very helpful and fun to talk with, he kept my sessions interesting and fun. The front desk staff was extremely helpful with appointment scheduling and especially with answering my questions about insurance. All in all I was extremely happy with Foothills and will definitely go there again if the need arises.
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about this place. Michelle is an amazing therapist. She and Nathan make a wonderful team. The entire staff is professional and very friendly. I have previously been to another Physical Therapy facility in the area, but there's no comparison. I highly recommend Foothills at Tatum and Shea!!!
Fantastic experience: Went for physical therapy prior to hip surgery. What a great experience. Michelle is awesome and so was her assistant Nathan. Very friendly, nice and professional. They are very good at what they do and it was a pleasure going to my sessions. The reception staff was very nice as well. I highly recommended them. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I was able to see Michelle Bogert for shoulder pain and she was able to help me tremendously. The staff was awesome here, always very nice and professional. I worked a lot with Nathan, who helped me with my different physical therapy activities. He was very nice and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this Foothills Sports Medicine!
