History

Established in 2009.

SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy is locally owned and operated by Shane Sullivan, a licensed physical therapist who is committed to providing his patients the finest possible spine and extremity rehabilitation by having relaxed, meaningful appointments, strong physical therapist-​patient relationships, and a superior level of care and service. Many productivity based physical therapy clinics force the physical therapist to greatly increase their patient volume because insurance companies are reimbursing less. This in turn has resulted in rushed, superficial appointments, weak physical therapist-​patient relationships, and a diminished level of care and service. Rather than accept this as the status quo and possibly compromise the patients health, SpineScottsdale Physical Therapy creates an environment where the patient’s interests are the only interests we need to consider.
