OVERVIEW
Athletes push their bodies in ways most people never do, and injuries come with the territory: a rolled ankle on the court, a strained hamstring during a sprint, shoulder pain from repetitive throwing. Recovery is not just about feeling better. It is about getting back to full speed without the injury returning. For athletes in South East Tucson, Green Valley, and Sierra Vista, generic rehab plans built around general activity often fall short of the demands of competitive training and game day.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Modern Sports Medicine of South East Tucson, AZ, builds physical therapy programs specifically for athletes, combining hands-on rehab with advanced diagnostic imaging to pinpoint what is really going on inside joints and muscles. Our team designs each plan around your sport, position, and training schedule, so progress in the clinic carries over to the field, court, or track.

SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Scheduling is simple. Call our office or submit a quick online request, and our staff will explain what your first evaluation entails so you know exactly what to expect before starting your athlete-focused recovery plan.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
Your evaluation includes a hands-on movement assessment and diagnostic ultrasound, allowing us to see what is happening inside a joint or muscle right in the office. Seeing the injury directly helps us build a precise plan from your very first visit.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Treatment changes as your body responds. Early sessions may focus on calming irritated tissue and restoring the range of motion. In contrast, later sessions build strength, stability, and sport-specific movement patterns, so you return to competition stronger and less likely to re-injure the same area.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Follow-up visits help us track your strength, mobility, and movement quality as you progress. At Modern Sports Medicine of South East Tucson, AZ, we adjust your plan in stages so you return to your sport when your body is truly ready.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

Where do I start with the praise for this Team of miracle workers... I had suffered from chronic lower back pain for the last 8 years due to 32 years of golf and upper back pain due to 13 years of sitting at a desk. I utilized a chiropractor for the past 7 years but the pain ALWAYS came back and I NEVER got better. One visit with Dr. Josh and two X-rays showed the problem was stemming from my foot and a collapsing arch—which my previous chiropractor NEVER took the time to explore and diagnose.

What Are You Experiencing?
You may not know specifically what type of treatment you would require. What you do know is that you hurt, and right now that’s really what is most important. To better know how to serve you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief form describing the discomfort or pain you are experiencing. With a clearer idea, we will contact you to discuss what may be occurring and how we may be able to assist.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If you are experiencing severe pain that is not intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Minor aches may not seem significant, but sometimes they are your body’s way of telling you it needs a helping hand. The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.

Answering Your Questions
What makes physical therapy for athletes different from general physical therapy?
Athletes need more than pain relief. They need a plan that restores strength, speed, and confidence in movements specific to their sport. Our approach blends traditional rehab techniques with sport-specific drills, addressing both the injury itself and the mechanics that led to it, so the same issue is less likely to return.
What types of sports injuries do you treat?
We regularly work with athletes recovering from ankle sprains, ACL and meniscus injuries, hamstring and groin strains, shoulder impingement, tennis or golfer's elbow, and stress-related injuries from running or repetitive training. We start by identifying the root cause before building a recovery plan.
How does advanced imaging help athletes recover faster?
Diagnostic ultrasound lets our team see what is happening inside a joint or muscle right in the office, often for a fraction of the cost of an MRI. Seeing the injury directly helps us target treatment precisely, track healing in real time, and adjust our program quickly, rather than waiting weeks for outside imaging.
When can I return to my sport?
Return-to-play timelines depend on the injury, your sport, and how your body responds to treatment. Rather than relying on a generic timeline, we track strength, range of motion, and movement quality, then clear you for specific drills and activities in stages.
Do you work with athletes of all ages and skill levels?
Yes. Our team works with weekend athletes, high school and college competitors, and adults staying active through recreational sports. Every program is built around your goals, your sport, and your current fitness level.
"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."
