"I had a massage session with Antonia and she was incredible. It was the best massage that I've had in a long time. I felt great and refreshed afterwards. She was attentive and professional. She was able to find and address my problem areas in one session. I felt at ease and very comfortable in my first visit. It was well worth the time and I will be returning for regular body maintenance!"

"Outstanding PT staff as well as super PT therapeutic massage therapist. Having both in one location makes a one stop shop. Matt is outstanding with PT. Toni knows her massage therapeutic techniques that work together to help get me on the road to recovery. Highly recommend both!"

"I was referred to Desert Palms by my Neurologist, to assist me in some PT to help with Post-Polio Syndrome muscle weakness and fatigue. There are very few MDs or other practitioners who know how to treat Polio survivors these days, so when I was informed that Marcus had this knowledge, I was very appreciative. I was thoroughly assessed, and then instructed in some gentle exercises designed to strengthen muscles. These were refined a bit over time, and customized to work best with my abilities. I was, and remain, very impressed with my program. I have begun to notice small improvements every day, and continue to do my "homework" diligently. Dr. Marcus Neal and Mike Pritzl were professional, respectful, and courteous therapists who listened to me and worked with me. I am so very grateful for the excellent care I received. And the support and office staff , every single one, were also very professional, courteous and patient. Plus, everyone at Desert Palms was downright funny on occasion. It was a joy to be treated so well by people who enjoy what they do. Again, I am grateful for the superior care, and the empowerment given me to continue with a program that worked. Thank you so much."

"I love coming here for my PT. My main therapists, Matt and Heather, are knowledgeable, caring and helpful. They always go above and beyond. All of the staff is always friendly and super nice. I also go here for massages. Robin is great and I feel that her massages really support my physical therapy goals from another angle. Overall can only highly recommend Desert Palms PT."

"I've been taking my father to Desert Palms for the past couple of months. I can't say enough about the exceptional care he has received. The entire staff is extremely easy to deal with—always friendly, accommodating, and professional, especially Toni at the front desk. The therapists are capable and genuinely invested in their patients' progress. My father, who is 94 years old, has seen significant improvements in his strength and stability. He's more confident on his feet and doesn't need his cane for short walks anymore. While that may not seem significant ,it has improved the quality of his life. If you are in need of quality physical therapy, I highly recommend Desert Palms physical therapy."

"As my first time getting a deep muscle massage Antonia was very professional and made sure I was comfortable the entire time and did a fantastic job working every knot and soreness out of my muscles. I will most definitely be recommending her to friends and family! 10/10 absolutely worth every penny."

"Finally a PT location that is focused on their patients and their success! I had PT with Kristen while I was pregnant. Mara and CJ are her assistants that help her during the treatments. All of them, and the other staff are always doing something productive. They are always focused on their patients, cleaning or setting up for a treatment. After I had my son, I was referred back to PT, but a different place completely. I had the worst experience (ATI Physical Therapy off Cortaro and I10) and immediately asked my provider to send me back to Desert Palms. I am so happy I did. They even offer massage by a Licensed Massage Therapist, Antonia. I'm a massage therapist of 15 years and Antonia really knows her stuff. I would be lying if I didn't take tips from my session to use in my treatments. My pain has decreased and is a work in progress. Thank you Kristen, Mara, CJ and Antonia!"

"A couple of months ago, I hobbled into Desert Palms PT on Rancho Vistoso Blvd with excruciating back pain. Dr. B suggested I give PT a try before scheduling back surgery for severe stenosis. He worked diligently to help me increase core strength and reduce the pain. While PT can’t cure stenosis, it can certainly help you manage the pain. Thanks Dr. B and Desert Palms!"

"Desert Palms PT is a place where I would highly recommend if anyone who needs to receive physical therapy treatment. Physical therapists are very informative and knowledgeable. Assistants are friendly and energetic. Clinic clerks are kind and helpful. Desert Palms has a positive atmosphere which makes you feel refreshed. I would like to especially thank Daniel who has been amazing and professional. He not only provides the high-quality treatment but guides you to move forward as much as you can. As my body gets stronger, I am empowered to get my life back and able to take care of people around me. Physical therapists back us up throughout life, which helps you go back to your workplace, sports field or outdoor activities. Sometimes it is hard to slow down if you get used to have a fast-paced life for many years. The process of recovery is a way to learn how to appreciate the movement you make and never take it for granted. Keep your body moving and keep your neurons firing!"

Brandon is patient and understanding, but firm, and the rest of the staff is amazing as well! The steady is always smiling and it's a very positive atmosphere! They'll have her back in gymnastics at this rate! 😊"

The assistances were incredibly friendly and personable. And I couldn’t forget about the personnel at the front desk and the first group of people you see, greet you when you walk in. They see you ASAP and provide the best assistance to make sure you have everything squared away. It was honestly sad leaving."

"This review is a little late in coming, but I can't thank Desert Palms enough for helping me out. At the end of April, I was faced with hip and leg pain so bad that I could hardy walk and barely slept. Had seen urgent care and was on heavy anti-inflammatories and was not making much progress. Faced with having to drive to Colorado in a couple of weeks, I sought out physical therapy. Desert Palms was recommended by several neighbors. When I called they were booked out for two weeks. I told the receptionist, Marion, my plight, and told her I was willing to be on a cancelation list. Marion called back the next day and managed to find me 4 appointments with Brandon. When I started, I was still in a lot of pain, could not stand very long, and was having my wife drive me there. By my 3rd appointment, pain was dissipating, I was walking and sleeping better, and was driving again. Brandon diagnosed nerve issues related to L5/S1 spinal joints and treated me accordingly. Turns out he was correct, as my Colorado doctor confirmed when I saw him. I am continuing PT in Colorado as Brandon and my doctor recommended, and am close to 100% healed. I'm so grateful for Marion getting me in and for Brandon working to get me better."

"I had a full knee replacement and it wasn't typical so I'm glad I checked reviews before deciding on Desert Palms, so I'm returning the favor with my review. The staff are all welcoming. Olin and Brittney were always upbeat and ready to help cheer me on. I also saw Dan for therapy a few times and he was very good as well. Brandon was my therapist and he created a plan and helped me learn to balance, walk and function again. Therapy was trailered to my needs. He shared knowledge and gave me exercises I could do at home that I'm still using today. I can't say PT is fun, but he made the time more enjoyable with his caring personality and he always had a smile. It's hard going through a difficult time and a trusting a therapist is important part of recovery. When my therapy was complete I actually missed going in. I highly recommend Brandon and the team at Desert Palms. Last note occasionally there were puppies to distract me from the difficult sessions which helped a lot! More places should do this because a distraction to help push through is definitely needed at times. Everyone had a smile when the puppies showed up!"

"I wasn't sure if physical therapy would help my arthritic shoulder. But when an orthopedic surgeon suggested a scope or a shoulder replacement I suggested I try PT first. Tried Desert Palms on the recommendation of a friend, Glad I did. The strengthening and mobility exercises seem to be working, much less pain and I can lift my arm without supporting it. Patient therapist (Daniel) who understood my need to learn the what and why of each exercise. About 6 weeks into the therapy and will continue as we are seeing good results."

The front desk staff was detail-oriented and scheduled my visits with ease. They kindly handled all necessary administrative requirements for my insurance approvals. During my physical therapy, I never felt pushed to do any exercise. I wanted to get better. They are professionals, and know which exercises and stretches will give you back your mobility. The overall vibe throughout the studio is positive and encouraging. I trusted the process, and worked my home-assigned exercises (and will continue). I think that the Physical Therapist I was assigned to, Michael, is truly a good listener, and creates and adjusts a plan for your recovery. He is a true healer who has a lot of experience which translates to an innate knowledge about what each individual needs!"

"My husband, Mike Branigan, has been having PT treatments twice a week since September, and always speaks so highly of Dr. Daniel, Pam, A. and everyone else with whom he's been working. Within the first two weeks we both noticed a marked improvement in his posture and limberness, and he expressed that he was generally in less pain. Since then, he continues to improve and feel better. Mike performs the home exercises they've given him most days, and we both have developed a high level of trust and respect, and gratitude, for Desert Palms PT and it's talented, knowledgeable and friendly staff. The equipment and facilities are also noteworthy. We're happy to recommend anyone to this PT organization in Oro Valley, AZ."

"I am a 65 year old guy with a history of many injuries from an active sports lifestyle. I always managed to bounce back until a total hip replacement. I never felt my balance, strength, flexibility, and coordination recovered. Having been to PT many times and feeling like the therapist always tried their standard routines on me and not getting the results I wanted, I resisted trying again. My wife had gone to Desert Palms, was really pleased, and pushed me to go. So I scheduled a visit for an assessment with Marcus. What impressed me immediately was that he listened. Marcus really took his time, asked many questions, did a thorough exam, and rendered his opinion of what was going on. He is one of those guys that you can literally see the wheels turning as he analyzes your issues. Marcus recommended a few exercises to wake up certain muscles, reviewed them with me, and we scheduled more appointments. I am very motivated to recover, so faithfully worked out as he recommended. Within a few days I noticed improvement. I went back in the following week, got more exercises which I worked into my routine, and started really noticing changes. The next week brought more challenges, and things just got better and better. I am now a month in and have to say I haven't felt this good in years. I think Marcus is a PT that truly thinks outside the box. He is very adept at analyzing what is going on with his patient's body, coming up with targeted exercises to address the problem, adapting as things change, and guiding you back to health. I recommend Desert Palms and Marcus whole heartedly."

I had been to Desert Palms for successful therapy about 4 years ago and new that’s where I would be going to help my new shoulder recover. I just ran into her today she is still in a sling. I have had almost full use of my arm for at least a month. Desert Palms has a very welcoming vibe with very qualified therapists. They think out of the box to address your specific needs. Thank you to the whole staff at Desert Palms. On a scale of 1to10 I give it a 20."

I am going thru post shoulder surgery rehabilitation for a rotator tear repair and bone spur. After 7 weeks of PT and still on going, I am thrilled and amazed at the great progress I have made. Thanks to Marcus Neal, Michael Pritzi, and tech staff, this experience has been very positive and rewarding. I rate them heads and shoulders (literally) above other large PT practices in the Oro Valley area. This comes from my own comparison to disappointing experiences with poor progress and results of other like practices in the area. I would highly recommend Desert Palms, Marcus and Michael and I will."

"This is now my third time getting physical therapy from the folks at Desert Palms. The first time about six years ago, Marcus resolved my severe left hamstring and hip pain, allowing me to run pain free again until quite recently. The second time Marcus and Mike worked on my right shoulder and back pain, resolving the back pain and giving me maximum use of my shoulder, given the permanent damage to my joint and rotator cuff, and allowing me to avoid surgery. Now they are helping me overcome pain again in my left hip from a likely labral tear and eroded hip joint, allowing me to walk (my running days may be over--we shall see) long distances comfortably and again avoiding surgery. I contine to be impressed with Desert Palms: professional, competent, courteous, on time and I like them. I am very grateful to them and see no reason to go elsewhere."

"My primary physical therapist is Marcus Neal. He never ceased to amaze me with his ability to pull a different treatment modality or exercise plan out to tackle a presenting problem that was proving resistant to mainstream or basic physical therapy exercise treatment plans. Consistently following his instructions has made by body stronger, resulting in less painful flair ups. I am also grateful to Michael P. who evaluated and treated me when Marcus was unavailable. All the support staff were friendly and encouraging. I had received treatment at a different physical therapist for an earlier injury in the mid 1990’s. The evaluation and versatile treatment plan received at Desert Palms far exceeded my previous physical therapy experience. Although I am 20 years older now, I feel the current improvement in my body’s muscles is superior to what was the result of the previous physical therapy."
