OVERVIEW

ABOUT SPORTS MEDICINE

An injury doesn’t just show up on the field. It sneaks into normal life, too. Pull a hamstring, and suddenly, climbing into your car feels awkward. Bang up your wrist and typing at your desk or opening a jar is a pain. A stiff back? That one likes to remind you every time you bend over to tie your shoes. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of East Mesa, AZ, we get it. Pain is part of the story, but not the whole thing. We want to know when it started, what makes it flare up, and what you’ve already tried. Once we know that, we can actually build a plan that makes sense for you.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

It’s pretty simple to set something up. Call our East Mesa office or just grab a time online. We’ll tell you what to bring, how long the first visit usually runs, and whether you need any notes for school, work, or your coach. If an X-ray or MRI might be smart, we’ll point you in the right direction so you’re not stuck figuring it out on your own.

Healing isn’t instant. First visits are usually about calming pain and loosening things up. Later sessions work on strength and control, so you’re not just better for a week, but you stay better when life picks back up.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

That first appointment is a mix of talking and moving. We’ll watch how your joints bend, how steady you are, and how strong things feel. If something seems off, we’ll get imaging so nothing important slips by.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Nobody gets the same plan. Some people need more hands-on work, others need strength or mobility drills. As pain settles down, we add in the movements that look more like your sport or your everyday life.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Follow-ups keep you honest. They give us a chance to see how you’re handling the plan, make small changes, and stop little flare-ups before they snowball.

Eric and his staff were awesome. I'm 71 years old and still very athletic. They did a fantastic job getting me back to the sports I love. I think they are the best physical therapy place in Phoenix

These people are wonderful. I had A fall down some stairs and had trouble with movement in my right knee. Hey they did a complete evaluation and then came up with a plan that worked me hard enough for progress but didn’t leave me sore. I started being able to bend my knee 90 degrees and after five weeks we were at 115 degrees! I highly recommend their friendly knowledgeable staff.

What Are You Experiencing?

You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.

  LOW  HIGH  

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Quick Diagnosis Form

Answering Your Questions

How soon should I start treatment after an injury?
Sooner is usually better. Waiting it out often means things take longer to heal. Even if it feels minor, a quick visit can help keep it from turning into something that drags on for weeks.
Do you treat overuse injuries?
Yes, all the time. Runners with shin splints, lifters with cranky elbows, desk workers with sore backs. Repetition wears you down. We figure out why it’s happening and fix those weak spots so it doesn’t just keep coming back.
What if I’ve already seen a doctor?
That’s fine. A lot of people come in after a doctor visit with scans or a diagnosis in hand. Therapy is what usually bridges the gap between “you’re cleared” and actually feeling strong enough to move without hesitation.
Do you help people before surgery?
Yes. Prehab matters. Getting stronger before surgery usually means an easier time bouncing back after. We help you build that foundation so the road back feels shorter.
I’m not an athlete, should I still come in?
Of course. Half of our patients just want to move without hurting. Hiking, gardening, playing with kids, walking the dog, those count. Sports medicine isn’t just about competition. It’s about keeping people moving the way they want.

"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."

Josh Adams

MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic."   - Josh Adams
