Clinic Director Rich Boeckmann and the Tatum & Bell (North Phoenix) team will ensure you feel welcome from the moment you walk into the waiting room until your last visit. You’ll be guided through each physical therapy session with the most crucial goal in mind—to get you back to the things you love. Your physical therapist will create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs. At Foothills, we understand that “good enough” is never enough. No one deserves a “good enough” recovery, no matter their situation. We aim to ensure a Full Recovery Focus™ and help you return to a healthy life. Our Tatum & Bell clinic is located near the intersection of Bell Road and Tatum Boulevard.
Rich worked as the Team Physical Therapist for the Milwaukee Brewers and is trained in Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN), sports medicine and orthopedic rehabilitation.
She became interested in physical therapy after having surgery in high school and experiencing first hand the benefits of therapy in helping patients.
Andrea comes from a competitive dance background and enjoys meeting new people. She chose physical therapy as a career because it gives her the opportunity to incorporate physical activity into other people’s lives for the better.
A torn rotator cuff: I turned to Foothills Sports Medicine on Bell Road when my shoulder replacement surgery wasn’t improving after two months of often painful treatment at other Physical Therapy. At Foothills Richard Boeckmann realized something was wrong and suggested I see my surgeon, Dr. Kaper. An X-ray showed a torn rotator cuff, the result of rough treatment. I had to undergo a second surgery and now have a reverse shoulder replacement. I am thankful for Richard Boeckmann’s knowledge and awareness that something was wrong with my shoulder.
I started here a few weeks ago after foot surgery. They are so kind and patient. They also are gentle and understanding. I have had to go to physical therapy a few times over the years and this place is by far the nicest one I have been to. Thank you.
After surgery to replace my right hip I began therapy immediately. The recovery was skillfully and thoughtfully managed by Richard and his able crew. They are compassionate, friendly but thorough professonal in every respect. I would return there for treatment in a heartbeat!
Have had 18 surgeries… this is the best PT experience I have ever had. Someone is with you almost all the time to check you are doing everything correctly. Bell Rd facility is where I go. Rich is the managing partner and his staff is great and personable.

Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy | North Phoenix: Reviews
Fantastic experience: They were nice and took care of my of my shoulder and would go back there anytime I would ever need any physical therapy.
Fantastic experience: My friend recommended Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy after an injury I sustained. I called a couple of places and Foothill Bell Rd was very prompt and accommodating to help me setup my first appointment. I am very pleased with the therapy, the location, and the staff. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. Rich, Steve, Betsy and everyone else have been outstanding. I am writing this review because I did not find many reviews for PT places when I was deciding where to go. If you choose this place, I hope your experience is great as well. Take care!
Fantastic experience: I’m thankful for Stacey and Amir for their expertise and kindness. I had a minor injury but I had lost my strength and flexibility on my left side. I was skeptical as I’d never been to PT before. This facility is well-run, clean and efficient. It was actually a pleasant ending to my work day. I will recommend Foothills, and especially Stacy and Amir. You can tell they enjoy their jobs and they make everyone feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: Went here for my physical therapy after an ankle fracture. Great team of therapists. I highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: In an attempt to work through a "partial tear" of the rotator cuff, the staff at Tatum Foothills did all they could to assist me towards recovery. Unfortunately, the physical therapy which was required by the insurance company did not work for me. The damage was worse than was showing on the MRI. It turned out to be a full tear. I had surgery to repair the tear. The therapist and technicians are experts at customer service and therapy techniques. They work as a team to give customers the best service possible. It starts with the front desk staff and carries throughout the facility. I am grateful for their efforts and determination towards my recovery. I have progressed from 3 days a week to 2 days. Looking forward to one day a week. As I was told so many times when I was having a "pity party" with the recovery, "It is a process". It really has been and I could not have come this far mentally trusting and physically strong in my recovery without them. Thank you ; - )
Fantastic experience: Steve and Andrea, as well as their support staff, were able to help me rehab my right should. My shoulder had been giving me problems for years. They identified the problem and developed a rehab program specific to my sports-related activities. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I just had my knee replacement surgery (rough surgery), and this wasn’t my first surgery or my first PT. So speaking from experience everyone at Foothill’s was great, there is a fine line between pushing to get results and just pushing. Andrea was my therapist and she listened, asked questions and new how much to push to get positive results. I gave one more surgery coming up on my shoulder and I will definitely be going back to Foothill’s.
Fantastic experience: I came in because of a knee injury, and I'm happy to say that the team here fixed me up in no time. Scheduling was easy, and everyone was pleasant and just lovely to talk to. My PT, Andrea, was amazing.
Positive experience: Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve had a good experience especially with Jess and Nick. Most of the front desk people are pleasant, some are not. Expect to do a lot of independent work that can be done at home.
Fantastic experience: I started here a few weeks ago after foot surgery. They are so kind and patient. They also are gentle and understanding. I have had to go to physical therapy a few times over the years and this place is by far the nicest one I have been to. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Nik and the staff . They were professional and caring and especially careful in adhering to the COVID rules and regulations.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff with quick and convenient appointment times!
Fantastic experience: A torn rotator cuff: I turned to Foothills Sports Medicine on Bell Road when my shoulder replacement surgery wasn’t improving after two months of often painful treatment at Carefree Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgable staff, clean facility, equipment to take care of any need
Fantastic experience: The moment you walk into Foothills, you feel like finally, you're in the right place. The ladies upfront have a passion for caring. I have gone through therapy before, but nothing like my therapist Nick puts me through. And contrary to belief, I feel better and looser when I walk out of there. If you want to get better, and you are willing to put the work in, I believe there is no better place then Foothills.
Fantastic experience: Have had 18 surgeries... this is the best PT experience I have ever had. Someone is with you almost all the time to check you are doing everything correctly. Bell Rd facility is where I go. Rick is managing partner and staff is great and personable.
Fantastic experience: The North Phoenix Team is excellent. They boost you up when you need it and explain all equipment and exercises.
Fantastic experience: All therapists and staff were very professional and helpful!!
Fantastic experience: Rich and his team (including Madeline and Torri) are amazingly proficient at their craft. Their professional care for me after a shoulder injury has been nothing short of perfection. I send every single person I know needing physical therapy to Rich. I couldn’t be more pleased with the progress they have made in my recovery.
Fantastic experience: Great organization, looking forward to continuing my recovery with the team at Foothills.
Fantastic experience: It’s only been a couple of weeks since I began working with Ben and his team but I can honestly say that things are feeling better. I feel more hopeful about my condition then I have in years. I’m thankful this clinic is conveniently located above my Rhuemotologist’s office-they led me to the right place.
Fantastic experience: My wife had an injury that required about a year of therapy, which she completed at Foothills, and she had nothing but good things to say about them. I recently developed a pain in my shoulder, for which I began therapy 2 weeks ago at Foothills. The therapist listed carefully to what I described of my symptoms, and came to a very specific conclusion about the cause of the pain and the best plan to alleviate it. I have had 6 sessions so far, and all of the staff, including my primary therapist and all the therapy techs who work there, have been very professional. They constantly ask if the exercise I am working on is comfortable, and indicating that if it is painful, I should alert them immediately. I have already seen remarkable improvement in my shoulder, and based on both my own experience and that of my wife, I highly recommend this facility if you need physical therapy.
Fantastic experience: Richard Boeckmannis a very knowledgeable physical therapist, after 2 weeks he has helped me emensley, the needling he does helps my tight muscle better then any massage therapist!
Fantastic experience: My experience at Foothills Sports Medicine has always been positive. The staff are always attentive and encouraging.
Fantastic experience: This place is great - staff is experienced and took the time to make sure my son was fully assessed. The follow up therapy was very thorough and ultimately helped address our issues. Staff up front is friendly and helpful too. I would highly recommend (and have recommended) Foothills to family and friends.
Fantastic experience: Anytime I need some help with my back and neck, they always get me back into shape in no time! Thank you Foothills Sports Medicine! You are the best!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and service. The treatment therapy is outdtanding. After two weeks I am already feeling a difference. Hoping to continue on this voyage to recovery.
Fantastic experience: Great patient care. Kind and courteous and attentive to your needs. Develops a gradual exercise program that fits you. Excellent staff. Please use Foothills for your physical therapy needs. They are wonderful.
Fantastic experience: Great staff. Great therapists. Everyone is friendly, professional, and personable. Highly recommend this facility!
Fantastic experience: Regaining your health after injury or surgery is of utmost importance. Being independent again and resuming your life takes the knowledge and skill that a good physical therapist possesses. When you have been in pain for an indeterminate amount of time, the onset of depression and hopelessness can accompany that injury. Physical therapy involves the whole person in their return to good health. It provides the tools to regain strength, and partners with you to help you reach that goal of restoration. Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy has a dedicated group of staff and therapists that treat the hurting with compassion but at the same time works to equip them with what is needed to aid their own recovery.
Fantastic experience: Foothills Sport Medicine Physical Therapy, is a great place to receive Physical Therapy, i highly recommend it to anyone and everyone that needs physical therapy for what ever their reason, the physical therapists at FOOTHILLS Sports Medicine, are very good at their Job, the staff at FOOTHILLS Sports Medicine, are professionals, signed Kenneth Dail Koughn jr.
Fantastic experience: Great place!
Fantastic experience: I received excellent, respectful, and courteous treatment from the entire staff after my shoulder replacement. I recommend them highly
Fantastic experience: This is my second experience with Foothills. The therapists and techs who work with me are the best. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, forceful and yet compassionate. As I observe other therapists and patients it is clear to me that every one who works there has this very professional and supportive work ethic. There was no question after my total knee replacement as to where I'd go for my rehab.
Fantastic experience: I wish i could have a lifetime pass.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Foothills physical therapy is great! They are kind curtious and very professional. They offer a wide variety of treatment plans. I was lucky enough to go through the rapid assessment with Rich. I went in for one problem come to find out I had something completely different which required me to see a orthopedist for a possible surgery consult. After talking with the Dr we both thought it would be best to try PT before trying more extreme measures. After my Dr.s visit I was refered to ATI PT but declined to go there because I really enjoyed Foithills PT and thought Rich could help me more because he already knew a little more about my situation. Overall I would recommend them to everyone who is looking for a great PT facility. They have great staff and accommodate you for appointment times that best work with your schedule.
Fantastic experience: These folks are fantastic. Nikki the physical therapist has been wonderful in helping me recover from achilles tendon surgery. She is professional ( absolutely knows her stuff), friendly, and explains everything very clearly. Spencer and the other techs are also the best.The front desk staff are also very cordial and welcoming. I would highly recommend this facility and it's personnel to anyone in need of rehab services. Bonus feature is that it is on the second floor so there is a view!
Fantastic experience: My daughter has received excellent care. Her PT Nick communicates effectively with both her and me, I really feel like he cares about her recovery. All the staff we've worked with have been super friendly and accommodating.
Fantastic experience: I love going here. The staff is super helpful and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Well organised. Great staff. Friendly place to recover.
Fantastic experience: Great facility, amazing staff, respectful and helpful front desk. I tore my ACL and had surgery, Nick and Brie were an incredible team at helping me with recovery! I feel as though I've progressed so much since my initial appointment. Things to be noted: -Appointment times and getting called back are perfect. If I have an appointment at 10:30am, then they call me back either 10:30 or earlier. I have never been called back later than my appointment time (assuming I'm not late). -Nick and Brie always made sure to keep me company and to push me to work hard (without pain). I felt like I gained two excellent friends in the process. -Front desk made sure to help me with insurance, scheduling, and everything in a timely manner. My only complaint is that I wish I could've stayed at their facility longer. Highly recommended!
