Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine

Foothills PT at 1702 South Val Vista in Mesa is one fantastic place to get put back together. Matt Midkiff is beyond amazing, his overall knowledge is one of a kind. Matt not only teaches others with calmness and complete focus, he treats his patients the same, totally focused on providing the best care for each individual and is extremely calm which radiates confidence to the patient. After getting two treatments from another PT place, I was referred by a friend to Matt at Foothills and I'm extremely grateful Matt squeezed me in to help me with my shoulder injury, doctors wanted to do surgery but Matt suggested PT along with dry needles/deep tissue massage and it's worked out AMAZING. Talk about night and day difference between PT places, I'd definitely return if I had another injury. The care here from Matt and others is top notch. The facility is clean and orderly, up to date machines and every kind of item needed for exercises for any injury. This office also runs ON TIME, there is never any waiting or wasted time during treatments, very important to me. Totally recommend Foothills PT on Val Vista and definitely see Matt Midkiff.

Matt Midkiff and his team at Foothills are the absolute best! They’ve helped us so much over the years. Firstly, when my daughter played soccer and had to recover from wear and tear of the sport, including a Lisfranc injury & surgery. Both Matt and my daughter worked very hard so that she’d be able to play college soccer again, and she did! And now, after recently shattering my wrist, he was there for me too. After having been referred to the surgeon’s PT, and it not starting out very positively for me, I called Matt and he reassured me that he could help. And he did! As a dental hygienist, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to work again, but he helped me get back to working with the patients I love.
I’m truly grateful to Matt and his entire staff! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I had come into this physical therapy after an ACL surgery. For a month I was not given proper therapy and I came into here looking for help. From the start they immediately wanted to help me. All the physical therapist here are friendly and love to help! They have positive attitudes and always do their best to make us better. All the techs are extremely helpful and do their best to make you feel comfortable. They constantly check how you are doing and how you feel. It has been amazing working with Matt and Kelly! They have pushed me to get better and succeed with my knee. This is over ally a great physical therapy and a great experience! :-)

Can't say enough about this Foothills location. Everyone was great...from the front desk staff to the PT assistants. I worked with Kristen Bennett who was awesome to work with. She took the time at each session to understand where you were in your progress and best figure out how to move forward in your recovery. Highly recommend!

Very professional! My special needs daughter goes here and it has been so helpful. She has made great progress, AND it is a positive experience that motivates her constantly. She loves all the people there, and they have been fantastic.

The staff here is absolutely amazing! They make physical therapy fun and entertaining. I worked with Megan on an ankle injury and surgery I had and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with my recovery. She really cares about her patients and helping them return to play in the best way possible. I would highly recommend visiting this location to anyone and everyone. They were also very diligent with working and protecting patients and staff through the COVID pandemic and it’s effects. Like I said previously absolutely amazing!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience here with Matt as my Physical Therapist. The clinic is always welcoming and upbeat. Everyone in there is wanting you to succeed. The PT Techs are friendly and knowledgeable. Matt really knows his stuff, he pushes you while in a controlled environment to really gain confidence through out the rehab experience. I started working with Matt at 3 months post op ACLR and Meniscus repair. Now at 10 month post op I am confident in my knee and my ability to return to sport stronger. Thanks Matt and the Foothills Family!

This place is the best! Kristen Bennett took care of me through multiple injuries but always found a way to keep making progress despite 3 surgeries in the course of 1 year. The front desk is so kind and helpful. The assistants are great as well, but big shout out to Devyn and Sam for helping me navigate it all. Great hours and availability. Kristen is so great!!! Recommend her highly to everyone!! While I don’t want to get injured again, if I do, I’ll come back for Kristen!

From the counter staff to the Therapist to the Techs(Troy,Bianca and Jake), Foothill Sports Medicine is a very patient friendly environment.

Matt was genuinely concerned, open and upfront regarding my treatment plan.
Was very attentive to what my physical needs were in relation to my job.

I’ve had a sorted medical past for injuries and have never had the same physical therapist for each injury. God willing I don’t get broken again but if I do, my Therapy will be with The Staff at Foothills Sports Medicine.

Amazing staff! Always friendly and caring. First time, I had no idea what to expect but I was willing to listen and do the exercises asked of me. Paige is very kind and has helped me strengthen my muscles to ease the pain in my knee. Recommend 100%. Also, don’t forget to say goodbye to Paige when you’re finished for the day too!

This is the 3rd time I have utilized the physical therapy services at this location. The physical therapy aids are well trained, knowledgeable and always professional. The therapists are the best of the best in my opinion. They give appropriate exercises and listen attentively to your concerns and make adjustments as necessary. I never thought of going anywhere else once I utilized this facility. Even though the floor is always busy. I feel like my aids and therapist treat me like I am the only one they are working on. How they manage to pull this off amazes me. Look no further for your physical therapy needs, your body will thank you for choosing Foothills.

I pulled a muscle on my right shoulder a year ago and recently on my left shoulder. (I will soon be 75.) I cannot boast enough about the professional care I received from these young staff. They were so knowledgeable and so respectful.

About a month ago I sustained a knee injury and was referred by my Orthopedic Surgeon to physical therapy. I was given given a few options and Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy was recommended to me by a number of people by far. I chose the Gilbert/Mesa location and I’m extremely glad I did. My Physical Therapist Paige Johnson has been amazing. Since day one she has been nothing but positive, supportive, and doesn’t let me quit. I’m a few days away from surgery and I’m confident that with her help I’ll be back to my normal activity in no time. Even though painful at times, Paige finds ways to make it fun, distracting me from the pain. All of their staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. I have a long post-surgical recovery, and I’m glad my recovery will be spent at Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy Gilbert location.

Absolutely wonderful staff, highly experienced and skilled Physical Therapists and great healing atmosphere! My physical therapist, Gabe, has helped me get my life back. I work hard and see results and he is there to help me along the way. I couldn't do it without him. I am so happy I am able to be a client here.
I would highly and unequivocally recommend Foothills Sports Medicine to family and friends.

Highly recommend! All of the staff are friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. My physical therapist, Paige Johnson, is amazing! I had a herniated disc in my neck and was in constant and terrible pain. Paige was able to help me get relief quickly and provided me with easy exercises and stretches to continue doing at home.

I am a college baseball player. Recently had a sports hernia and had to have my adductor in my groin taken out. Had surgery in mid April and started coming into Foothills the following week. Been coming in for 3 months now. Matt and his staff have done an amazing job working with me to get back to 100%. He created a plan for me and adjusted my workouts based on how I was feeling and the activities that I had going on that day/ week. I got cleared and was back to feeling my best, but continued to come in and work with Matt for another 2 1/2 weeks before I headed back to school because of how strongly I trusted him and his workouts for me. 10/10 recommend. Appreciate Matt and all his staff over at Foothills!

I’ve done a decent amount of PT and my visit today was fantastic. The therapist I had did a great job of explaining the situation with me, was knowledgeable and took time to work on me personally and it was only my first visit. He gave me the tools and instructions to work on my own but also invited me to come back if it wasn’t doing the trick. To top it off, the visit was free! Hard to come by good service, I was treated well, taken care of and my time was respected. Thank you!

Great PT experience! Writing a review for my mom (she’s not tech savy) who goes there regularly for PT. She raves about her physical therapist, Gabriel Lucas, every time she goes! She feels he is responsive to her physical concerns, Figures out the source of her pain and works it out using various PT techniques. My mom especially loves the pin point deep pressure massage, blade scraping, tens unit, and exercises. Overall she loves her experience there!

I had chronic lower back and hip pain that was only getting worse. Will really took the time to ascertain what the root cause was and was able to help me correct it in only a few weeks. In the past when I've had to go to physical therapy it's been largely self directed with very little interaction with the therapist. That is opposite of my experience with Will. He was very tuned in and hands on which I know is why I'm happily pain free today. Thanks Will!

This is the best physical therapy team in Arizona. The foothills is very well staffed with knowledgeable therapist and assistant therapist that are good, attentive and make you feel like a part of their family. You will never feel like you are alone going through your rehab. I had a terrible accident with a difficult recovery and I wanted to thank Matt and his assistances Joelle, Andrew, Ralphie, and Ryan etc...who really helped me achieve my goals and get me up and going again.
