In March of 2016 I got pinched nerve in my neck. I could sleep only lying down straight; I had tingling and numbness in my arms and hands. I spent 2 months at PT in Foothills. No results. Then, spent 5 months going to acupuncture specialist. It helped me a lot finally I could sleep, and I could sleep in different poses. However, acupuncture didn’t help with arms. I still had pain while I was working on a computer. Then at the end of December I started to go to chiropractor. It was HUGE mistake!!! After 4 months visiting chiropractor, I got more problems than I had. He put me back where I was year ago, plus added the lower back and hip problems. When I came to Thompson’s PT, I had constant pain in my arms, hands, and hip. I couldn’t sit down for more than 30 min, drive more than 10 min without pain in my hip, I couldn’t use mouse or keyboard for more than 5 min without pain. I went to few different PT places, so I can say that Doctor Thompson has unique method of evaluation. He is not only making you do some movements, on the top of it he checks every muscle in problem area on your body. So he can have full picture what is going on with you. I go to the Thompsons PT two times per week for my lower back/hip problem, and 2 times per week for neck and arm (insurance will not pay for both in one day). I had 4 visits for my hip/lower back, and I already feel difference. I can easily drive for an hour, pain in my hip almost gone. My neck feels better too (I had only 2 visits). When I come to PT, first, I’m doing exercises. Thompson’s PT stuff is very nice and friendly. Stephanie makes sure that I’m doing exercises correctly, she even counts for me. :-) After exercises Sara is preforming deep tissue massage on my tight muscles. She is very strong and knowledgeable! I think massage goes for at least 30min. Dr. Ryan Thompson is doing deep tissue massage and laser every second visit. He is releasing muscles spasm. And laser really stops pain. After massage, I’m getting ice therapy for 15min. Every my visit lasts full hour, sometimes it takes even longer, but they never rush even if it’s their lunch time. I wish I would go to Thompson’s PT year ago!!! I definitely will recommend Thompson’s PT to my family and friends.

I stopped by to check out the facility recently. There was no one at the counter, and since they offer water therapy the place smells like a gym pool/ sauna locker room. I was greeted by some bald guy (I think hes one of the owners?), who when asked about their massage services (for my whiplash injury), abruptly mentioned that all services need an appointment, gave me a card, turned around and walked away - apparently I was looking for spa services, and my business isnt needed. So, I sent an inquiry/appt request through their website and have yet to hear back. Too bad for me as Im desperately in need of a good deep tissue massage - none of the froo-froo crap from the cheesy local salons. So, any one who reads this, if you know of a great massuse, shoot me a comment, I would be greatful!!

Ryan has a small office that treats people one on one. Instead of giving you a list of exercises to do, he teaches you, works with you, and assists you individually during your appointments. Not every physical therapist does this. Ryan seems intent on staying up to date in his field and in the effectiveness of his treatment. I went for a running injury. Ryan quickly identified the problem and helped me set goals for healing and further prevention of injury. He taught me a lot and was straightforward when it came to money. I would highly him as a physical therapist.

Ryan worked on my very sore knee with the laser. When he was done, I said "Okay, so what do I do now? Ice it? Stay off it a couple days?" He said, "No, it should feel better right now." What?! But it sure did! Immediate relief of about 80% on the spot and it got better and better over the next few days. Since I was very skeptical to begin with, I know it wasnt the placebo effect. I sure do appreciate it, thanks Ryan!

An amazing place to help with chronic back pain. The personalized treatment and having someone with you while doing the exercises is so nice compaired to the PT locations that give you a list of things to do and you never see them again until you are done. Also the muscle manipulationn and massage is helping to relieve the pain and provide a permanent solution to my back pain. I highly recommend this place.

This place is great! Ryan is very knowledgeable, thorough, and has a very clean facility. With so many physical therapists out there, its hard to find one like Ryan that will spend good time with you and not treat you like just another patient. Id highly recommend him!
