The CORE Institute’s New Surprise Physical Therapy Clinic Serves Population with Wide-Ranging Needs By Brian Sodoma For years, residents of Surprise, Ariz., on the Valley’s west side, have traveled five miles to The CORE Institute’s Sun City West facilities for physical therapy services. But now Surprise has a world-class site of its own. Opened in mid-January, The CORE Institute’s Surprise Physical Therapy location has brought the orthopedic specialty group’s extensive clinical expertise to one of Arizona’s fastest-growing cities. “It’s exciting to open a clinic in such an up and coming town. There’s a big need in the city of Surprise, and this allows us to better serve this population,” said Dan Neal, Senior Vice President of Physical Therapy and Physical Therapist at The CORE Institute.
WHAT THE NEW CENTER OFFERS The 4,000 square-foot center brings The CORE Institute’s evidence-based approaches, using the latest research, to develop treatment plans for a full spectrum of orthopedic and sports medicine care for all ages. Whether you need post-operative physical therapy, orthopedic rehabilitation for sports injuries, joint replacements or injury prevention and work conditioning, the clinic can accommodate a wide range of needs.
The layout of the new dedicated clinic is an open format with an integrated plyometric area at its center to allow patients to perform rehabilitation exercises requiring running, jumping, sharp cutting. There’s also specialized training equipment for higherlevel rehabilitation. DAN NEAL, “This allows us to PT, MSPT, MBA serve anyone from youth athletes on up to that 75-year-old who just had a knee replaced,” Neal added. COORDINATED TREATMENT As the use of the clinic grows, it will have the capacity to serve 500 to 600 patient visits per week, Neal said. The new site, located at 13995 W. Statler Blvd, is The CORE Institute’s seventh physical therapy clinic in Arizona. The clinic also improves the coordination of physical therapy services throughout the West Valley, Neal explained. “Not only do our physical therapists work closely with our orthopedic care team, we support outside physical therapy clinics to serve as a resource for evidence-based pathways and protocols that provide optimal outcomes and allow patients to keep life in motion.” Neal said.
