physical therapy, wellness, and performance done differently
We get to the source of pain and address the body in its entirety
POLARIS PT & WELLNESS is a private-pay performance physical therapy center located in Gilbert, Arizona with hour-long, one-on- one treatments. Through the use of exercise, highly skilled manual therapy, and cutting-edge modalities we restore pain-free efficient movement
When you get injured you’re not only in pain — you can’t do the things that you love. Going to the gym feels like a waste, trying to go for a run just seems to piss your injury off, and your daily walk with the dog is now the last thing you want to do.
You lose your identity when you get hurt. The worst part? You know the doctor is going to suggest “easing off” or “cutting back” or “retiring” altogether — we know that’s just not an option.
You should enjoy life pain-free and not just have to deal with it. We can make it happen.

OUR SERVICES
At Polaris PT & Wellness we offer a wide and diverse assortment of treatment modalities. They are always performed by a licensed physical therapist with a board certification in orthopedics.
MANUAL THERAPY
Manual therapy can consist of, but is not limited to: soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, thrust joint manipulation, stretching, and trigger point release
DRY NEEDLING
Dry Needling is not acupuncture, but utilizes the same implement to help relieve myofascial pain by going directly at painful trigger points that can be a major contributor to your dysfunction
INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION
IASTM utilizes blunt instruments or cups (cupping) to break up adhered and dysfunctional tissue. Promoting blood flow and mobility that is difficult to obtain when just using manual therapy alone.
MOVEMENT ANALYSIS
Physical therapists are the experts when it comes to movement analysis. Through a thorough analysis we are to see the root cause of your pain.
INJURY PREVENTION
Most people think of their therapist for after an injury or only when they have pain. Through movement analysis, manual therapy, & corrective exercise, PREhab can prevent future injury
FITNESS / WELLNESS
At Polaris PT & Wellness we can help you achieve your fitness and wellness goals. Through our extensive knowledge of exercise science and having coached countless functional fitness athletes we are equipped to help you stay active and fit.
