Total Sports Therapy Phoenix/Moon Valley

Robin is very understanding and gracious. She has helped me alot working through the pain of a bad hip...the office staff and assistants are very nice also.

Did you know there's a Doctor of Physical Therapy? I didn't, even after 20 years of trying perhaps a dozen popular pain management practices, and at least as many physical therapy practices. Sadly not one "typical" PT practice was worth the copays. Dr. Kory Straine at TST changed my opinion about that. TST has now become the most urgently needed treatment of all that I need. I'm thinking I may be able to get out of pain management all together. For example, the trigger points for pain were never relieved by the trigger point injections, just numbing them or ablation of nerves only paused the pain. Dr. Kory has professional ways to attack all the pain origins along my spine. The trigger points are less painful or even gone thanks to his expertise. Dr Kory and the whole team work together and take interest in my progress. Patients can sense when a provider just does the minimum or isn't invested in recovery. The entire practice is on MY team, on MY side to do whatever they can to get me strong and hopefully less reliant on temporary and questionably effective relief by way of pills and needles. Dr. Kory oversees my exercise program, which BTW i can do at home and for the rest of my life without feeling unduly encumbered. Results matter and the energy at TST tells me that all their Doctors of Physical Therapy get great results. Worth it to ask about a referral, and don't hesitate to go! The entire staff is just fabulous!

In a nutshell, I HIGHLY recommend.

I had a flair up of a neck injury while traveling for work, 3 days before I was scheduled to leave for a 1 month vacation out of the country. I didn't have access to any of my medical records, imaging, or previous PT reports, but Robin didn't let that get in the way! She listened to everything I said, asked tons of questions, and took the time to answer mine. I came to 1 session and they squeezed me in for a second. Afterwards, was the first time I felt able to function in a long while. Robin, Shelby, and the other staff worked together to bring me pain relief and set me up to take care of my own healing while on vacation.The most amazing thing is that they took care of me knowing that I wouldn't be coming (and paying) for regular visits. I am incredibly grateful for their kindness, professionalism, knowledge, flexibility...

Best PT experience I've ever had. There's been many!

Second time here! I tore my calf muscle this time and definitely needed help, I literally had no strength in my calf. Immediately, I knew where to go. I just didn't expect to be back so soon!

My last entry was about a year ago and not much has changed. There're some new faces but they hire quality people and train them well. After all, they're gaining work experience to become physical therapists too. Shout out to Robin, Shelby, & Jessa who I worked with the most.

Thank you to Robin, Mark, & Hugo, the Total Sports Therapy team at Moon Valley! Along with others at that location. Everyone was super friendly and attentive.

After knee surgery, a regimen was created to strengthen it after an evaluation. I appreciated how Robin didn't judge my busy home life and lack of time to exercises at home. I went twice a week and progressed through different exercises to strengthen my knee. My progress would get evaluated weekly or more often to progress more on different exercises. Robin listened to my feedback and changed exercises as needed to focus on problem areas. My lower back started to hurt due to some of the exercises. Everyone was kind enough to relieve the pain with offering different exercises, stretching, or extra heat therapy.

It was busy and slow at times, so once I knew the exercises and routine, it was suitable for me to begin my routine. They helped by checking on me and bringing me whatever equipment I needed. I spent about 6 weeks there and in that time I had some scheduling issues on my end. They made it easy to reschedule and cancel appointments as needed.

If you’re looking for a place to have physical therapy, I highly recommend Total Sports Therapy at Moon Valley 😊

I have had numerous experiences with physical therapy. Pre/post multiple knee surgeries and finally replacements, 4 spinal surgeries and hip replacement. None were really great experiences or results. Recently I had total shoulder replacements (both) and spent close to 6 months undergoing PT under the direction of Ricki (Richelle) and her support team (primarily Shelby and Mark-if it’s Marc my apologies, you’re spelling it wrong). I’ve never had such a well-structured, productive, beneficial and fun experience. I owe my great recovery to them. They kept me motivated and on track. While I hope to never go through this again(I still have one hip left), I’d go to no one other than them.
