Can’t tell you how wonderful San Tan Physical Therapy is. Started going several years ago with my back with sciatica to physical therapy after two hip replacement and a broken shoulder and arthritis in my finger and thumb. The whole staff is wonderful from Daniell. At the front desk to Joel the owner Robin and Jillian I just love them at one point. My doctor sent me to a different physical therapy place and I had only been at Santan one time and I said I wanna go back to Santan and I’ve been coming there ever since they have a way of making you feel like family more than a patient. Can’t praise them enough thank you Joel and staff so much. You are wonderful.

I am a current patient of San Tan Physical Therapy. I have had a number of issues with some moderate injuries and was referred to San Tan PT by my orthopedic doctor.. I have been to a couple of PT offices in the past, however, I have yet to find one that has the expertise and high level of professionalism as San Tan PT. The staff is not just good, they are excellent. They are knowledgeable and capable. They have all of the equipment that you might need to go through an injury recovery effort.

I would recommend San Tan Physical Therapy over an above any other I have worked with.

I have so many thanks to give to this team. I was diagnosed with cancer but at the time my drs kept informing me I just had a slipped disc and to continue physical therapy. Thanks to Joal and his expertise, he knew there was something more wrong with me and to advocate to my doctor. I found a new doctor which led to my diagnosis. I spent a long time back and forth out of the hospital but Joal and the rest of the team here never forgot about me. They even sent me a card with personalized messages. My cancer spread to my bones and left me with multiple fractures in my spine and neck. I also had to get rods put in both my legs and was in a brace for 8 months. I am a 35 year old mom of a very active toddler and let’s just say I am thrilled to announce that they graduated me from physical therapy! I Every team member here from the physical therapists to the assistants to front desk I give kudos to. Thank you for helping me in my journey to recovery.

★★★★★

My wife, Maria, came in with balance issues, and she had broken her left elbow. In addition, she had had a complete reversal of her shoulder and had little streagth in her left arm. Joel did her evaluation and recommended a program to help her regain streagth in her legs and arms. Cortney was the physical therapist who worked with her most of the time, with amazing help from others on Joel's staff. Everyone was so helpful and encouraging, even when Maria was feeling that nothing was working. Slowly, she improve,d and now she is doing so much better! Thank you

★★★★★

The first time I came to San Tan Physical Therapy I could barely walk into their office without the worst pain I ever had in my back. My doctor recommended physical therapy and it was one of the best decision I ever made. Choosing San Tan Physical Therapy was another one. Honestly, I didn’t know if they could help but thankfully within a month the pain was gone. That was eight years ago and just recently I had a similar problem and again they corrected it. . I can’t thank them enough for helping me and I encourage everyone who is experiencing physical pain to contact them and trust them to help you.

Thank you Joal and your staff for making my life pain free.

This was my first experience with physical therapy. My left knee was in constant pain, walking was difficult, stairs were impossible!

I am amazed at how well this worked! The folks at San Tan PT were all very nice, knew what I needed and built a program that addressed all my needs. Thank you seems hardly enough!

I can walk stairs, knee pain gone, and my balance is much better.

Thank you all!!

Joel and the team are great to work with. Positive environment and people who provide excellent care.

All the staff members at San Tan Physical Therapy are AMAZING!!!

I had a very long road of recovery, and spent a lot of time at their facility, and never had a bad experience. I actually even miss them, I felt like they became friends. They pushed me, yet encouraged me at the same time. When I was proud of my goals they were too. I hope to not have to go back there, but I will recommend them to anyone who needs PT.

THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING!!!

This is an amazing PT Clinic. It is my 4th time there for various reasons and they have always provided me with quality PT. All of the providers are professional and extremely caring.

I had shoulder pain and went to San Tan Physical Therapy.

Joal's Team took care of me. They evaluated me and put me on an extensive program for twice a week sessions that lasted about an hour.. i was doing 11-12 different exercises that focused on strengthening the entire shoulder muscle system..

The Final treatment each session was a very deep massage. Outstanding relief... i recently "graduated " from the program.l that began in Nov 2024 .

Super sweet staff got me feeling better after just a few visits! Great environment and wonderful treatment at San Tan PT!

I’ve done a lot of PT in my life and I have to say that San Tan Physical Therapy helped me the most out of all of the places that tried to help me.

I would highly recommend San Tan Physical Therapy.

Joal and his team did an excellent job. I used them twice for a frozen shoulder and hammer toe. They were able to resolve both issues. I’m pain free now and extremely grateful to all the staff for their hard work. I highly recommend Joal and his team to anyone needing Physical Therapy treatment. They’re the best!

★★★★★

GREAT is an understatement, I attended a seminar given by Joal Miller about having shoulder replacement may not be necessary, this interested me because 2 surgeons said I needed surgery do to my range of motion but I didn’t believe them because I had all of my strength in my arm. After hearing Joal give the 9 things that effect your shoulder which causes shoulder pain I decided to give him a try. After 5 weeks, twice a week my range of motion increased and the pain I was feeling doing certain exercises went away. Now keep in mind, where I live is an hour drive so I required results do to the number of Physical Therapy locations I pass get to Joal.

★★★★★

I came to AZ 2 years ago after a hip/fractured femur surgery and back issues.. I needed PT and found San Tan Therapy. I am so happy with the treatment that I received and the friendly staff and atmosphere.. My recovery has been slow but with the strengthening exercises have given me the ability to resume my daily activities without pain and I now can walk well and strive to meet my 10k steps a day! I am grateful to San Tan PT and highly recommend their services.

★★★★★

Joel and his team do an excellent job. They got me back to work in record time. I work out of town and they gave me exercises to continue healing on the road and when I could make it back to the office they evaluated and encouraged me. I’ve been to Joel 3 or 4 times over the years for some pretty big injuries and would like to give him and his team the highest recommendation

★★★★★

After having foot surgery my doctor sent me to San Tan Physical Therapy. I had never needed treatment of this kind so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The staff made me feel so welcome from the initial visit to the duration of my treatment. Within a few visits I gained so much more mobility and grew stronger every day. I quickly got out of my boot into walking shoes and within a few weeks I was able to graduate the program. I’m back to hiking, camping and working out at the gym. Thank you San Tan Physical Therapy for your caring, attentive staff and integral role in my healing journey. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.

★★★★★

Have gone to San Tan physical therapy for several different body parts after surgery. I find them to be personable and very competent at their jobs. It was also easy to schedule. Definitely recommend.

★★★★★

Wonderful people to work with. Friendly, professional and personable. Highly recommend!

★★★★★

Joel and his team provide excellence in therapy services. They are concerned, patient, and give their all for the best in quality outcomes. I am a retired RN, and tend to be critical of providers, however, this team is 1st class for the highest degree of functionality with individualized patient centered care plans. I have utilized their services twice, and was very happy with my results. Thank you to this great team!!

★★★★★

Joel and his team have been a lifesaver to me. I have issues with my back in several places. I was coming in for my lower back when my upper back also developed a severe pain by my shoulder blades. The right on my shoulder and lower back that same day, which gave me great relief, they are always patient and respectful. I have been going to Joel for several several years. It’s coming home to old friends and the bonus is therapy.

★★★★★

I am so thankful for the care i received from San tan physical therapy. I received personal and professional care. I was grateful that they offer dry needling as that helped me complete my care.

Believe me, I wouldn't go anywhere else, and highly recommend SanTan Physical Therapy *****

★★★★★

San Tan Physical Therapy is wonderful!

The staff is friendly, caring, respectful, and skillful. They listen and answer questions. Their treatment is top notch. You always feel like you are important.

I drove past a number of PT offices to get to San Tan Physical Therapy because they are the best! I can't say enough good things about them.

SanTan Physical Therapy is the best. Very friendly. I’ve been there for about 2 years. I have a lot of injuries.

But by moving and keeping active really helps.

What a great group of therapists.

★★★★★

I have been to San Tan Physical Therapy for 2 different issues. Every person there is very professional, skilled and caring. They get to know you as a person and problem solve whatever the issue is that requires intervention. They are prompt and respectful of your time. I would highly recommend them. Robyn has magical hands and Danelle makes your day brighter.

★★★★★

I appreciate the job that Santan PT did on my left shoulder. They started with an evaluation and put together a comprehensive plan to strengthen and reduce some nagging pain I was experiencing. I appreciate the consistency of their therapists which meant that you got good treatment regardless of which therapist that was assigned to you on any given day. I will go back there if I need future PT!

★★★★★

San Tan Physical therapy is wonderful. They make you feel like family. Everyone on staff is wonderful. I had issues with my neck. All better. Exercise and massage really helped. Great office

★★★★★

The staff at San Tan Physical Therapy were very knowledgeable and always so friendly.

I left there feeling so much better, I highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, professional physical therapy.

★★★★★

This past fall I had both of my knees replaced at the same time. Needless to say, physical therapy has been playing a huge role in my recovery and overall range of motion. Joal, Robyn, and the team have been phenomenal. They pushed me hard the past few months. I always left walking out the door with wobbly legs...but I knew I was one step closer to a full recovery than I was before I arrived that day. I can't recommend them more. It's been a great experience. The surgery stinks, but SanTan Physical Therapy has helped me more than I ever expected. -Jeff Martin

★★★★★

Joel and his team took great care of me from start to finish. I severed my Achilles and broke my ankle. After a few months of therapy, my ankle is better than NEW. Joel and his staff took great care, to ensure all exercises were being completed to ensure my recovery would be thorough. It didn’t come without some pain, but as they always say “No pain, no gain!”’ Thank you San Tan Physical Therapy….I hope to never see you again?!

★★★★★

I am a surgeon and I can say my experience with San Tan Physical Therapy was excellent. They are professional and caring. I highly recommend them for all your PT needs.

★★★★★

A very knowledgeable and dedicated staff. Have sought their care for several issues with great results.

★★★★★

A team of exceptional professionals. Everyone I encountered expressed a caring and kind attitude. I was listened to and encouraged every step of the way.

A clean and nurturing environment where I gained strength and confidence.

★★★★★

San Tan PT is a well staffed and knowledgeable team of professionals. Their assessment of my primary issue and targeted treatment plan realized improvements quickly. I am glad I went to them and would do so again without hesitation. Thank you Joal and your support staff.

★★★★★

Another round of pt was ordered by my doc. I've been coming here for years. Joel has not only a great professional staff but one of the friendliest as well. My wife needed pt I told her to have our doc recommend this place. She knows why now.

★★★★★

Physical therapy team ,Joel and crew are great they provided me with great care, friendly environment, family feeling. I will always choose their services when in need.

I greatly recommend them. Thank you

★★★★★

Dr Miller and his team are awesome. From the moment of my first visit to their shoulder seminar to my last visit of PT, all the employees were professional and educated to help you through what ever pain you’re experiencing. I highly recommend seeking out a session.

★★★★★

Great staff and environment. Targeted excersizes to help with your specific situation. I have an unique and challenging diagnosis that they have worked through. Amazing how much progress I have made and truly grateful for all they do.

★★★★★

This is about the third time I’ve gone to STPT for post-surgical therapy, & I’ve been happy every time. Joal & his team are very professional and on top of every need & how to treat it. My painful spine issues are now taken care of, hopefully forever. Thank you for your very kind support!

★★★★★

San Tan physical therapy is the best! They are professional, knowledgeable, and skillful at identifying the problem. Their standards are high and they really care about you as a patient wanting you restored to full health. Highly recommend for any physical therapy needs.

★★★★★

No need to look elsewhere for your PT. I also experienced 2 other locations before STPT without success, I felt worse.

Joal and his team are very professional and listened to me.

I asked they provided more and different maneuver for my needs. When I keep up with the exit exercises they provided I am pain free.

When I need PT again I will go back to STPT.

★★★★★

I was treated for lower back pain, and they were very helpful in getting me back to normal.

★★★★★

My wife had been treated 3 times (hip replacement, knee replacement and major back problems) in the last three years. The outstanding results made San Tan Physical Therapy my clear choice when I needed help with my knee due to an impact injury to the point I could not stand and walk without difficulty. The exercises and the hands on treatment has resulted in an improvement in my range of motion and reduced difficulty in my daily activities. I appreciate everything that was done.

★★★★★

When I started p.t my range of motion was extremely limited in my shoulders. I couldn't lift my arms to reach shelves or take clothes off top hangers in my closet. I had great difficulty washing my hair and doing household tasks. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get comfortable, and that with the discomfort and pain negatively impacted my quality of life. After pt my range of motion has improved to be able to do everyday activities, plus I can sleep which helps all aspects of my life, I am so grateful for the knowledgeable and professional staff and physical therapist who have helped me regain normal range of motion. Thank you!

★★★★★

Just a few weeks ago I was experiencing the most excruciating and persistent back pain and lack of mobility of my life!! I found even the slightest bending or twisting impossible. A Number of projects I needed to complete were put on hold. My treatment at San Tan Started with an assessment by Joel and a deep muscle loosening massage, which provided immediate relief. The cumulative effect of ten session has left me feeling strong and active again. I completed a project that involved installing some benches in the tight confines of my truck camper shell with no issues, I also have a bounce in my step again. Ready to take on a summer of activities now. Also, Robyn, Joal and the San Tan team printed out the exercises I did, so I can build on my gains at home. Backpack Trip awaits!!!

★★★★★

After working with me in every way possible to alleviate the severely nagging chronic shoulder pain I had endured since age 66, the wonderful staff at San Tan PT played a major part in convincing me to get TWO shoulder replacements since January of 2021. Because of their expert healing programs and patient, warm yet focused professional atmosphere, my successful recovery was almost pleasurable . Ortho Arizona surgeon William Patterson and San Tan PT worked brilliantly together to reduce my chronic shoulder pain from a 9 or 10 with very poor flexibility to 0 pain and enough flexibility to enjoy all aspects of daily life again. I will never forget how Joal, Robyn, Jennifer and the whole staff gave their unwavering support and tirelessly hard work which increased my productivity and motivation to grow as a teacher more than anything else. Of the many answers I've received to my prayers these last 5 years, finding San Tan PT is definitely at the top of the list!

★★★★★

I was very apprehensive when I came for my first appointment because of a very bad PT experience elsewhere. Joal was recommended to me to someone who also had rotator cuff surgery. He listened & created a program that I was able to do. Applying heat & a Tens unit before working out along with the massage after really helped with my recovery. The staff is a "10"!! I highly recommend San Tan Physical Therapy. Thanks for getting me back on track .

★★★★★

The therapists here are AMAZING!!?????

After going to another physical therapy location close to my home for rotator cuff injuries I was very discouraged. I had very little results after many weeks of therapy and I didn't feel like I was being heard. I also didn't feel like I was part of my own treatment.

All that changed when I found SanTan Physical Therapy. From the initial consultation I knew this place was different. Joal asked many questions, listened to my answers and explained his recommendations in detail.

I now travel 4 hours in the beginning of the week and stay with a friend for the 3 days I have my therapy scheduled for, then take the 4 hour drive home. Why? Because Joal and his team are incredible. They listen, they care they help you get to feeling better.

I never feel rushed or pushed to do more than I physically can. They listen and encourage me to do only what I comfortably can and if something isn't working, they listen and make the adjustments I need to get the most out of my recovery with as little discomfort as possible.

They use multiple methods of therapy from heat and electrical stimulation, targeted movements and strengthening exercises to my favorite hands on therapy. They do so much more as well.

Check them out!!! You will be happy you did.

★★★★★

Great and friendly staff! My rotator cuff injury was diagnosed properly and restored

back to normal very quickly. Communication about the injury was thorough in understanding what to expect. Periodic assessment was encouraging during the therapy process. Super therapist's!

★★★★★

I was treated at San Tan PT and I can say without a doubt (I have had to be treated for other injuries but this is my first with San Tan) San Tan has the best staff and Therapists without a doubt. Lorena is by far the single most talented Therapist I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. The Elite crew of Nicolas and Jillian are tremendous! Robyn, Jimmy and the others are a pleasure to work with. Thank you Joal for a super team.

★★★★★

I would highly recommend using SanTan PT. The staff from the front door all the way to the Doctor treat you like they care. They take the time to work with you and help you assess where you are and what you need.

They will be my goto PT solution for any future needs.

★★★★★

I have been to San Tan physical therapy two times over the past year. One for PT for a broken heel and most recently for a stabbing pain in my back that was bringing me to my knees. Joal and his staff gave me back a pain-free life. It took about four visits before I started to notice a difference and by 8 visits I knew I was on the right track. I graduated this past week after 6 weeks of physical therapy, two visits a week. Both of my experiences with San Tan physical therapy have been exceptional. The staff are friendly, caring, like a good laugh, and above all are experienced and professional. They are easy to talk to and very good listeners. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would go back to them in a heartbeat if I needed future physical therapy. They are, simply, the Best!

★★★★★

I am extremely happy with the treatment I received at STPT. I had a total knee replacement, and whole staff helped me greatly on the road to recovery. They are all so supportive, encouraging, and yes they make you work for your own good, but they are also fun. In the beginning Robyn & Joal also gave me the emotional support I needed, as I had never really gone through a major surgery like this. If I ever need PT in the future I will go back to them. I totally recommend San Tan Physical Therapy!

★★★★★

I had a great experience with San Tan Therapy.The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. My doctor gave me a few choices and I am glad I chose San Tan Therapy.

★★★★★

I've been going to San Tan Physical Therapy for multiple surgeries two knee replacements and a rotator cuff surgery. The entire staff worked beautifully in getting my knees and shoulder back to where it belongs as I now have full motion in both my knees and shoulder. I just want to thank Joel and his staff for all the help they gave me as I can now go back and play Pickleball without any issues.
