Spine and Sports Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: This review is long overdue. Dr. Greg House is top notch. Yes, he shares a name with a TV doctor, but trust me, he is not grumpy like the TV doctor and he’s real :) I have been to many physical therapists in my day. And while none of them were bad, Dr. House rises way above all the rest. I was referred to him by a friend of a friend when my back seized up. I was preparing for a series of big hikes in northern Arizona, but I couldn’t function hardly at all with just regular daily tasks. Dr. House knew my goal was to be able to do these hikes in Arizona and took all the right steps to get me to that goal successfully. Of course, the patient has to put in the work as well, which I did. But he tailored the PT to my level and needs, which is very important. Some physical therapists have a checklist and give the same routine to everyone. Dr. House knew my limitations and strengths and tailored the physical therapy accordingly. I was able to do the big hikes without any issues! My back has seized up twice since I “graduated” in Spring of 2023, but when I do the exercises he gave me, the issue is short lived. I highly recommend Dr. Greg House for any of your physical therapy needs! Thank you Dr. House!

Experiencia fantástica: Six months ago I came to Dr House for help with knee, neck, and back pain. At that time, I had dreams of walking 1 mile without sitting to rest. Six months later, I walk at least 1 - 3 miles a day, sometimes up to 5 miles without stopping once. Dr House continues to inspire and motivate me every week - check me out at the top of Enchanted Rock last weekend! He strikes the perfect balance of challenging me while making sure I don’t over do it. I am accomplishing things today that I never knew my body was capable of. I would pick Spine & Sports every time for my PT needs. Thank you so much Dr House!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. House is the most thorough and dedicated Physical Therapist I have ever met. I was referred to PT for my Knee Pain and due to my work schedule, he was able to fit me later in day. Dr. House personally worked with me one on one for each visit and taught me the exercises to get rid of my pain. This is not one of those Corporate Physical Therapy Companies that employ PT Assistants who "work" with you at the same time they are treating three other patients.

Experiencia fantástica: It took fifteen years and two back surgeries, one minor and one major, to find Dr. House and I will never look back. First of all, he stays with you the entire hour. After the first assessment, Dr. House knows where you're weak and what to do about it. He brings you along gradually, firmly but gently. I'm in the best shape of my life in 35 years (I'm 64) and I'm proud of the work we accomplished. But I will forever be grateful to Dr. House for the quiet systematic physiologically-based approach that is teaching me to do it on my own.

Experiencia fantástica: Christian Johnson is BRILLIANT! I fully recovered and am pain free from my car accident by following his precisely targeted and effective exercises. Along the way, he gave me to tools to relieve pain until I strengthened my core and other muscles needed keep my spine aligned and happy.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Greg and his team are knowledgeable and friendly! They had answers to all my questions and helped me resolve patellar tendonitis. I was quickly back to running and lifting weights again!

Experiencia fantástica: I worked together with Dr. Greg House after I had lower back surgery. Super friendly and professional, with quiet 1x1 sessions where I would get full attention while working on the exercises. By getting the tools and guidance Dr. House provided, I was able to start living pain-free in just a few months of weekly sessions, and I continue to do so even months after our last session. Thank you for making it possible :)

Experiencia fantástica: Sr. House is a phenomenal PHYSICAL therapist. He spends time evaluating you and actually listens. Also I love how he gave me exercises that were within my physical limitations. The exercises actually helped and made my back so much better. He’s professional, smart, kind, caring, and compassionate!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve have managed to tear up a number of body parts over my lifetime so I’m very (too?) familiar with physical therapy and physical therapists. Without a doubt Dr. Greg House is the best physical therapist I’ve ever had. His extensive knowledge of body function (nervous, skeletal, muscular systems) is extraordinary, and his exercises are spot on. I’ve been going for to him the last half of the year and have made very good progress with his help. He is also the first PT I’ve ever had with a PhD. In the past I’ve had several PT’s that had two clients at the same time jumping back and forth during each session. With Dr. House, you have his undivided attention. Lastly, he’s a real pleasant guy to be around for an hour. I recommend him with no reservations.

Experiencia fantástica: My recent post op experience validates my opinion of Dr House, and in the quality of his care. I had homecare my first 2 weeks post op. I had several different providers throughout those 2 weeks. I only saw the Physical Therapist on the first home visit. I experienced varying levels of care, not all pleasant. Dr. House does not have assistants working with him. He provides all care himself!! I noted his assessments are much more detailed than any I have had or seen. The treatment he provides is very individualized. He provides you with a copy of the exercises. if there is something you need to purchase for your exercises at home, he will tell you where you can find it at the most reasonable price. He is very knowledgeable and will explain why you are doing a particular exercise. Dr. House is very professional and provides excellent care. I will continue to recommend Dr House to my friends and family. Dr. House is awesome!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to Spine and Sports because of an age related disc protrusion causing numbness in my arm. I began work with Dr. Christian Johnson in January and left my first session with ways to stop and/or avoid the numbness. I also began exercises to improve my posture and strengthen my core. I have had successful physical therapy in the past but this therapy was exceptional in that Dr. Johnson actually taught me what was happening to the muscles and nerves when I felt the numbness and as I exercised. It made the reason for exercises so clear. I would highly recommend Spine and Sports Physical Therapy and Dr. Christian Johnson without any reservation.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Greg House is FABULOUS! I have had the great fortune of working with him on my back, hip and knee. I feel the best I have felt in a long time. If you need and excellent physical therapist Dr. House is the man for the job! Thank you for helping me to recover and feel so good!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Greg House is amazing. I went in to see him because of a bulged disc in my neck which caused weakness and discomfort on the left side of my upper body. I felt 10 times better after leaving my first session with him. After a few sessions, I feel completely back to normal. Dr. House is incredibly kind, gentle, caring and personable. I am so glad to have him as my PT.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Greg House is truly a professional PT who seeks to use all of his many therapeutic skills to identify the imbalances in your body, eliminate or lessen their intensity and help you learn a new approach to living with less pain or restriction! He has helped me eliminate and lessen painful movement of my back and neck. I’m forever grateful!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. House is awesome! I’ve experienced neck and shoulder pain for several months. I exhausted myself trying to find the right solution to help me get back to feeling like my normal active self. He took time to listen and help me come up with an individual workout plan. After 2 weeks of therapy with Dr. House I feel stronger and more mobile than I have in months. He is professional and committed to helping you with your recovery.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Christian Johnson PT was able to correct my lower back, right arm numbness and right foot issues that ive been dealing since april, been sent to ER twice due to light headedness issues and tingling with numbness all over the place. Right away, Dr Christian Johnson was able to IDENTIFY my symptoms that Im having with and was able to correct it. I can now sleep-well with no issues. Highly recommend Dr. Christian Johnson for PT consultation!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient of Dr. Greg House off and on for the last four years. My initial contact with him occurred after my orthopedic spine surgeon felt that I needed a fusion of my back’s lower lumbar area However, my surgical second opinion indicated that it would be a mistake to have surgery as it would compromise my pre-exiting neck problems . I turned to physical therapy as a possible solution, and it was Greg House who was able to prescribe exercises that not only helped my back, but which resolved what had once been very painful. Then I developed knee, rotator cuff, feet, and increased neck issues. Dr. House was able to devise an exercise program for each of these in such a way that the exercises would not further exacerbate already existing problems. In fact, his outstanding knowledge of the ways in which the parts of the body work was my salvation as he tailored the exercises to fit my needs. This exercise program continues to be a fact of life for me as well as the comfort of knowing I can always put myself again in the capable hands of Dr. House.

Experiencia fantástica: I wrote this to the Texas Board of Physical Therapy: Message: I would like to recognize Dr. Gregory House whom I have been seeing for several months now for a GREAT job. Not only is he professional and obvious knowledgeable be he is personable and has great communication with his patients. I was skeptical at first when I was referred to a PT. I did not think it would make that much difference but I was wrong. I will never be 100% or like I use to be but at 63 I am doing oik. I have not had to return to my Back/Spine doctor. In this crazy world of SO MUCH negative feedback I would like to give some positive feedback and an "atta-boy" I hope you would recognize him for a job well done. Sadly I was told that they do not recognize individuals licensees for their service - REALLY!! Seriously they is a crying shame! GREAT JOB DR.HOUSE - BAD job Texas Board! Cheryl TenBrink :)

Experiencia fantástica: I seeked out Dr. House after I had an extremely painful back injury from working out. I love running, biking & strength training and wanted to return to my active lifestyle ASAP. He knew exactly what I needed to feel 100%. I felt improvement every week and he progressed the exercises at the speed that was right for me. I also loved how he explained which muscles were being targeted in each exercise and why those muscles were crucial in the recovery process. I highly recommend Dr. Greg House.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a neurologist, with fellowship training in neuromuscular disorders. Over the years I have a learned a great deal from physical therapists. Greg House has treated me for my own complicated spine issue with cervical and lumbar stenosis. I have been able to push off a need for surgery with Greg’s guidance and treatment. He is remarkably well-versed in multiple methods for spine and other injuries. He knows advanced techniques including McKenzie for spine, and the myofascial pain and trigger points which often accompany nerve irritation. He is able to evaluate the sources of pain clearly and prescribe exercises, mobilization, dry needling, and other therapies. Greg shares his knowledge with other physical therapists. For patients, they can see him personally one-on-one, in a well-run office; or he shares a range of personalized exercises on his website to all who visit. Thomas E. Conley, MD

Experiencia fantástica: Look no further, you have found the best. If you are looking for someone who can truly make a difference in your healing and/or pain management, I am living testament to both. His knowledge and approach has succeeded in helping me where others have failed. He is a quintessential professional and a really great person . Nothing but raves for Dr. House!

Experiencia fantástica: There's physical therapy and then there's Dr. House! Dr. House is patient and attentive. His assessments are thorough. His PT provides relief and results. Dr. House literally changed my life. I've had back pain for 20 years and my prior experiences with physical therapy left me believing PT was a waste of time. As my back pain progressed to a serious longterm and ongoing issue I was referred to Dr. House by the orthopedic surgeon and then by the physiatrist. Thinking the experience would mirror that of my prior PT, I reluctantly scheduled an appointment. I was SO wrong - This was definitely not a waste of time and at the first visit with Dr. House, it was clear that in the PT world his knowledge and skills are far superior. 5 stars and highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Greg House is an amazing Physical Therapist. His conscientious, enjoyable, patient centric manner ensures you will be treated remarkably and recovery time minimized
