At Desert Palms we have developed an integrative approach to physical therapy, taking into consideration the whole person, not just the injury.

Our therapists perform a thorough evaluation through postural assessment, movement analysis, flexibility and muscle strength testing to create an individualized plan of care.

Passive treatments include; orthopedic manipulation, myofascial release, ultrasound, massage therapy, electrical therapy and ice/heat therapies. Active treatments include; therapeutic exercise, Pilates and Gyrotonic programs. Our methods are built on the premise that best outcomes come from extensive evaluations, understanding every aspect contributing to pain or dysfunction, then having a direct and focused plan to address all contributing factors to correct the underlying impairment or pain.

The Therapists at Desert Palms Physical Therapy have advanced orthopedic manual therapy training and clinical expertise in a variety of neurological and orthopedic subspecialties. Several Therapists conduct clinical workshops and research presentations on a national and international level.

We strive to make our services available to all people in Tucson and surrounding rural communities. Our practice has grown through patient satisfaction and excellent outcomes.
