I had a TKR July 6. I was scared that I would not be able to teach or walk correctly again. High Desert helped me to reach all my goals, still working on some. Kelly was kind and knowledgeable in what I needed when and why. I felt like the staff was caring and wanted me to succeed. I will send all my friends and family their way. Thanks Guys!

I broke my leg (Tibia Plateau) and had surgery. It was a long recovery, and doctors and the internet had horror stories of people never returning to 100% after. I leaned on the team at High Desert to push me to recover. We worked hard, and was well motivated to recover quickly. 6 months later, I am back to 100%, and the fear of injury has left. Can’t say enough good. I returned to running, biking, etc., well before doctors and Google said. Thanks Jared. Kellie, and team!

My experience with PT was amazing. Before starting, I struggled with lifting heavy weight. After PT, I can lift as much as I want without pain. Everyone was so kind and understanding, and willing to work with what was uncomfortable. I am so thankful I got to experience this with such amazing people.-Makenna

I came in postpartum with my second baby and was struggling with pelvic floor and diastasis recti issues. I had a hard time even leaving my house over worries these issues caused me. Penny and Jared were so helpful and I appreciated their individual and gradual approach to my care. Now I not only have almost no issues but I am doing more than I was pre-pregnancy! I am training for a 5k and strength training 4x a week. They helped me get my confidence back!

High Desert is awesome. Caring and professional ! My journey with High Desert began following an accident in February 2025. I was totally immobilized for 9 months, and took my first steps on November 1st. Then I began PT. I was so afraid to take those first steps. Matt and Penny have been so patient and encouraging, as I have gone from a wheelchair, to walking to and from my home to PT. A distance of ⅓-½ mile each direction. Though my ankle is still stiff, I can do most everything I need to do. My life is permanently altered, but with the care I have received, I can now do what I need to do on a daily basis. Thank you High Desert PT, for helping me regain independence. Kudos to Matt, Penny and Jared, for your kindness and support in this journey.-Marie

I struggled finding a place in Pocatello that could help treat my spinal cord injury until I found this place. They’ve helped relieve some of my chronic pain and helped improve my walking abilities. Definitely recommend!

My experience here has been nothing short of amazing. After constant, severe back pain for over a year, the crew at High Desert helped me finally experience relief. Not only did they help me with pain, they gave me back hope that I can once again live life normally once again. Each person from the front desk to the physical therapists, went above to provide me with assurance, comfort, and kindness. I would recommend this clinic to anyone. And if I need to go through physical therapy again, I will absolutely go back to High Desert. The staff and facility are exceptional. Being able to keep up with my children and play on their level once again, has made this so worth it. Thank you.-Morgan

TLDR: This place ROCKS! After months of shoulder pain and being unable to workout, I finally decided to start PT. I went to two providers in town for evaluations and neither of them were a good fit. Then I realized that HDPT was less than a mile from home so I decided to give them a try. From my first interaction to schedule an appointment I felt the difference. My evaluation was informative and thorough, but the best part was the staff. I felt like I was hanging out with friends that wanted me to feel better. I followed the treatment plan, committed to treatment and I am FINALLY back in the gym and almost 100%! Grateful to Matt, Jared and the entire team at HDPT. EVERYONE is ALWAYS so friendly and helpful!

When I first came to High Desert, I was not exercising, due to my POTS symptoms. In the beginning, I could hardly lift any weight, my heart rate was so sporadic, and I would become dizzy after every exercise. Brandi had me start with horizontal exercises to strengthen my legs and core, and lessen my symptoms. 9 months later, I'm not only so much stronger and able to do all kinds of exercises on a regular basis, but I have more energy and rarely have POTS symptoms flare up. These changes in my physical capabilities have not only helped with my health, but even in my relationships and social life, since I am able to do more. I’m in a much happier place! Thank you to Brandi and Penny for all of their help and encouragement, and to all of the staff at High Desert, for creating an enjoyable and transformative atmosphere.

I’ve been treated by Jared for chronic dizziness (which helped me tremendously. Trying to prevent knee surgery, but ultimately needing it.

I’ve had a wonderful experience at this physical therapy office. From the moment I walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, positive, and comfortable. The therapists and assistants are not only knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely personable and caring. They take the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make each session feel focused on my individual progress. The front desk staff are friendly, helpful, and always make scheduling and communication easy. It’s clear that the entire team works together to create a great experience for their patients. Most importantly, the therapy has truly helped. I’ve seen improvement and feel supported throughout the process. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for skilled care in a warm and encouraging environment.

A sudden force caused my back to twist at the waist, injuring my back. After 20 minutes, I could not walk. I could not find any position that would allow me to sleep in bed. In order to sleep, I would sit in a chair, place 2 pillows on a table, and attempt to sleep. During this time, I started PT. To walk from place to place in the house, I would have to support my upper body on a table or counter top. To walk any distance, (more than 10 feet) I would have to lean over and support my upper body, by placing my hands on my knees. I also have significant numbness in my right leg, due to my bad back. The numbness started over a year ago, and has steadily gotten worse. After going to PT for a period of time, the pain in my back and right leg steadily decreased. I can now sleep pain free in any position that I like. The pain that used to radiate down my back, leg, and into my right shin has ceased. I still have pain in my right hip, but it is very manageable. I have not taken pain medication in 2 months for my back. There was a time I took medication every 6 hours. The numbness in my leg has proven difficult to eliminate. I feel it has decreased significantly, but has not gone away entirely. I can now walk and work normally! I can hike in the mountains over rough and slick conditions, without noticing any problems with my back or leg. I have learned that I must keep doing my exercises religiously. If I do that, I am confident I can lead a normal active life. (I am a very active person)-Morgan

I started going to High Desert in about mid October 2025 after discovering that my lower back pain was being caused by a lack of curve in my spine. During my initial appointment with Matt we decided that the best approach to alleviating my pain was a focus on core exercises. He printed me out a handful of exercises that could be done at home on my own time. And we set our next appointments after that. Initially I found the exercises to be quite difficult, but through the patience and expertise demonstrated by Matt and Penny I was able to progress and increase my core strength, eventually adding new exercises to the program. There were some weeks when I did not get much of the program done at home, but there was absolutely zero judgement from Matt or Penny. Instead I was met with understanding and professional feedback. Through the exercises and some additional methods of relieving the pain (such as cupping) I am now able to say that my pain has been reduced significantly and I feel stronger and more able to go about my day to day life with minimal pain. I am grateful and would recommend High Desert to anyone on their physical therapy journey!

I seriously can’t recommend this clinic enough. I originally went in for cupping because of my back pain, and it helped so much. At the first appointment, he actually listened to what was going on and made me feel comfortable right away. He explained everything in a way that made sense, made sure I understood the process, and checked in the whole time to make sure I was okay. You can tell he genuinely cares and wants you to feel better, not just rush you in and out. The whole vibe is really welcoming and positive, and I always left feeling better than when I walked in. If you’re dealing with back pain or thinking about trying cupping, I 100% recommend coming here!

Attending physical therapy here was truly a blessing. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming and encouraging environment created by the staff was immediately clear.

She was incredibly attentive, easy to work with, and always took the time to explain everything clearly.

This place feels like more than just a physical therapy clinic—it feels like a family that genuinely cares about helping you get back on track in your daily life. I’m so grateful for the care and support I received here and would recommend it without hesitation.

When I first came to High Desert, I had so much back pain that I could barely breathe. I had two appointments per week. We worked on strength training and flexibility for my lower back. Stretching using the yoga ball helped a lot, and using a smaller yoga ball, I was able to strengthen the sides of my core muscles. Before physical therapy, I was unable to sit or stand for longer than 30 minutes. Now I can comfortably go for an hour-long drive, as well as walk over a mile without back pain. I highly recommend High Desert. They go above and beyond to help everyone of all ages, and the staff is always kind.

I fell in April '25, fracturing 2 vertebrae. The spine doctor suggested PT after being in a brace for 18 weeks. I had poor posture and balance and little stamina for everyday activities. Coming to High Desert helped me so much to regain leg strength, balance and confidence. My pain and balance have been helped so much through exercise, and knowing how to do everything the correct way is a miracle to me. Pat

My lower back and S.I. were inflamed, causing pain to walk, sit, tie shoes, do basic housework, and move in and out of the car. The exercises and hands on treatment that both Brandi and Kelley gave me have not only eased the pain during mobility by about 90%, but taught me how to move and stretch differently, to adapt when discomfort happens, and to strengthen necessary muscles.-Sharon B

I injured my knee at work. I was having a lot of pain, and was unable to go up or down stairs, or sit for more than a few minutes without hurting. Matt, Kellie and Penny are awesome! They helped me get back to feeling good again. I really enjoyed my time here. The laser and cupping really helped too. I haven't been to many other physical therapy places, but now, I won't go to any other. -Ryan

Before I came in, I was almost on bed rest for 8 weeks due to a broken left ankle and emergency surgery to repair it. It was my first broken bone ever. I had no idea how long the recovery would take, and I was scared to start exercising in case I reinjured it. However, the exercises given to me were neither difficult nor scary. They have significantly helped me strengthen my ankle so I can walk on it again with confidence. The exercises are easy to do, require little to no extra equipment, and can easily be done at home. The staff was extremely helpful during my recovery and was very easy to work with and communicate with. If I ever need physical therapy again, I’ll come back here.

My Girlfriend and I both chose High Desert to guide us on our journey to heal and strenghin our bodies. The staff was amazing. Brandi's knowlledge and drive to push me even on the days I didnt want to was handled so delicately with empathy but still drove me and kept me going. I feel confident that my healing process and Brandi's program will carry on in the future. I wish I wouldve done physical therapy for every injury Ive ever had.

Long story short, fell off my lifted truck fell 7 feet on my back to the concrete below. Hit head and lower back hard. Got serious vertigo and had trouble walking, bending, lifting etc. GP recommended PT at High Desert. All but one session was with Matt. He told me first time there he would cure my vertigo issues. I didn't believe him but I'll be darned, got rid of it the same day. Over the next 5 weeks he recommended certain exercises based on my pain level and what I explained to him was hurting. 5 weeks went by fast, twice a week, an hour a day. Each day got better. Matt altered exercises based on my progress. As time went on pain went away, I felt stronger and at the end of 5 weeks I was done (graduated as they say) 99% back to normal. A little more rest and a few home exercises and I will be 100%. Matt knows his PT, but as I viewed the other therapists I could tell they all were well versed in PT. High Desert staff are all great, very friendly, they keep you informed of appointments and are flexible enough if you need to change one. If I have something happens in the future that requires PT I wouldn't wait for the Doctor I will contact High Desert directly. Highly recommend.

If you’re in need of physical therapy, I highly recommend High Desert Osteopractic Physical Therapy. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and truly listens to their patients. They do everything they can to help you achieve your goals and meet your needs. This is the fourth physical therapy facility I’ve been to, and it’s by far the best—hands down. I haven’t tried the dry needling myself, but from what I’ve seen and heard from others who have, they are very happy with the results. When I first started working with Matt, he didn’t think I’d be where I am today. I had suffered a massive TBI (traumatic brain injury), which included a stroke, a brain aneurysm, and an 8-week coma. I was told I would never walk again. But with the help of Matt and the amazing team at High Desert, I did walk again. There’s absolutely no way I would be where I am today without them Jared is also very good and very helpful! Him and Gus. Matt pushes me every single session, but he also knows when to stop. His ability to strike that balance has made all the difference in my recovery. After four different physical therapy experiences, I can confidently say this is the best facility out there— bar none.

I had foot surgery for bone spurs and damaged tendons. Needed therapy to get me back on my foot and walking/running without pain. The entire staff was great at helping me stay on point and worked with me in setting and meeting goals. Within two months I was able to go from limping slowly to achieving my goal of running a half marathon. I don’t think that would have been possible without the dedicated help and support from the whole team here. Ron

When I started PT I was unable to do basic household chores. I couldn’t even roll over in bed without stabbing pain in my low back. Matt and the team have helped me be able to get back to normal activities by showing me how to stretch and exercise to get my back out of a constant state of spasm.

Surgery for a torn bicep as well as a rotator cuff in early December placed in need of rehabilitation. On day one arriving at High Desert my range of motion was very limited. I had difficulty performing as I expected I could after the shoulder and biceps surgery. Brandi's evaluation of my condition and the plan of therapy was spot-on! Kellie was the therapist that guided me through my exercises to where I now have full range of motion and improved strength. The surgeon who repaired my shoulder and bicep evaluated my progress. His evaluation indicated that I was 4 to 6 weeks ahead of where he expected me to be and no longer needed physical therapy. Because of Kellie's attention to detail and friendly encouragement, I was able to "graduate" from therapy ahead of schedule, This is my third time at High Desert. One knee replacement, back and neck pain and now shoulder biceps surgery. Brandi & Kellie are the best in the business!! I highly recommend High Desert for who are in need of help.

High Desert is a great place for physical therapy and more. I went in with hip arthritis when I was starting to use a cane because of pain. Matt put together a program to strengthen all of my hip muscles and I am able to do most everything now. I still have some range of motion issues because of the existing condition but I have used a cane in a year. Dry needling also healed my "tennis elbow". The owner and all staff are great, friendly and professional.

Had shoulder pain that would keep me up at night. After some therapy and some home exercises I have been able to sleep at night and relax better with family activities where before I could not get comfortable. Was fun to interact with all of the therapists and spend time improving my life activities. Been a great experience to push myself to recovery.-Joe

Best physical therapy place in Eastern Idaho. The staff here are so nice and helpful. I had back pain and neck stiffness. And no Dr. Referral. Just walked in there doors and explained my situation. Jared got me in for there free evolution. and told me that they could get me back to my normal self in no time. So I said awesome. So he put me with he's sec. hand man Matt. Matt is very nice, polite, respectable guy also easy to talk to. So if anybody is looking for pain relief, Or getting back to their old self I highly recommend this place.

I got a referral for PT from my cardiologist because of recurrent vertigo. Therapy here helped me understand better the mechanisms that lead to my disabling problems and the insight motivated me extra to do the necessary efforts to improve my quality of life. I was somewhat skeptical that this would work but I got a very positive surprise. Now it is up to me to continue the good work and I am really grateful to Matt for this learning experience . Really nice ambiance here too!

I had a total knee replacement December 31st 2024. Started going to therapy 2 weeks after. I'm not going to lie. I was in pain. High desert has taken me so far and I'm right around the corner of pain free. They are so caring and totally there to help patients. I have worked with Brandy, & Kellie. I highly recommend high desert to anyone. Great atmosphere, smiles and oh yes lot's of laughter. They make something miserable into something you look forward to doing. Thanks so much for all of your help. 🥰 Thanks Jared for having a wonderful group of therapists. Vicki Carney

I have been getting dry needling with Matt over the past couple of weeks and it has really helped. Matt is a great person and always makes sure everything is right in order for you to have the best time during your appointment. He loves all his patients and does the best work on everyone.

I strained the ligaments in my knee a couple times and did just fine for a while. But on time number four something was clearly wrong. This obviously isn’t a good situation to be in when you play football. However after going to physical therapy for a while I was back on the field feeling 100% again. -Lucas

Great place to work. Kind, compassionate staff. Wonderful, professional, caring professionals. After my knee replacement I exceeded my surgeons expectations with the assistance of the dedicated, professional staff at High Desert Physical Therapy. Surgeon stated he believed I would gain 75% mobility within 6 months due to my age & history of imobility. I am 100% in 8 weeks. Thank you all for the tools & ongoing encouragement. So impressed.

I started seeing Jared for dry needling appointments to treat my tmj/neck pain. I've had about 5 sessions so far and I'm amazed at how much better I feel. I used to get headaches every time I exercised and was really limited on foods I could eat and couldn't enjoy certain activities like singing or even talking for longer periods of time. Their office is really cool and it's always a chill environment and a good time when I have an appointment. Highly recommend.

I first came to High Desert because I was having pains in my knee while doing stairs, lunges and getting out of the car. After working those muscles for 6 weeks I now am able to do those movements with little to no pain and get around without any issues. Thank you so much.

Review I had a knee revision to replace a prior knee replacement. It was a difficult surgery. My husband had been to High Desert and suggested I do my therapy there. I had a great experience and have been recommending High Desert. Jared knew exactly what I needed to do. He was very encouraging and also let me set the pace.I felt he really cared and wanted me to reach the best possible movement and recovery I could. Many people have commented on how well I can walk and move. I feel if I have problems in the next few months I can call or come by for help. I’m 72 years old. I have been to several physical therapy places in my life and can honestly say this is the best experience I have ever had.

I broke my ankle and was not able to put any weight on my foot for three months. I lost a lot of muscle in both my legs and foot with these restrictions , when I was able to start therapy it was great to think I could get back to some normalcy. It took time and dedication along with some discomfort but Jared and his team were supportive and so helpful in my recovery. I’m doing great and able to do so much now. I’m giving a big Thank You to Kelly and Brandie who have worked with me, and Thanks Jared for creating such a great, caring facility to help me recover.

Before coming to PT I couldn’t pick up my grandbabies, I would get headaches frequently, and I was in constant pain. After working with Jared and his team I am able to play with my grandbabies as much as I want, including carrying them everywhere. I no longer have any headaches, and am pain free. Jared and his staff are fun to work with and make therapy a delight

Matt has helped me a lot with my discomfort and pain and added strength to my legs and back!! The best, thank you!!" Connie . from Chubbuck Mar 05, 2025 "I came to PT because I was afraid I was going to fall. Brandi helped me to strengthen muscles and improve my balance and I think most helpful to improve my confidence that I can do better physically and am not on a path of helplessness. Thank you

I came in for Physical Therapy for my right Achilles tendon with a no longer ignorable amount of chronic pain. The High Desert Physical Therapy team calmly and professionally answered all my questions and provided me invaluable advice for my journey both inside and outside my scheduled sessions. Matt, Maddie, and Penny all brought something a little different to each of my sessions. The combination of dry needling, cupping, laser therapy, and good old manual massage and manipulation worked absolute wonders. Definitely one of my best decisions to put my pride aside and sought help. I’m back to rebuilding my running and am excited about getting back to my regular activities without as much trepidation or worry of pain. 2 sets of 15 y’all!

one of them 🙂 My experience here has been great. Kellie is very knowledgeable and works very hard here. The vibe and the way things flow here are impressive. I have always looked forward to coming. I respond to being challenged. The experience made me realize how out of shape my arms were. I had trouble with anything involving my left shoulder, such as driving. Sleep is also hard laying on my left side. My pain is gratefully reduced, especially at rest. My arms are much stronger. This is a very positive environment. My experience here (3 times total) has been nothing but positive. When my knee would flare up it interfered with walking, stepping and hoisting myself. All those are better.

This was such a a welcomeing and inviting place to do physical therapy. My boys loved gus, and looked forward to coming every week! Both of my boys balance and strength has increased. I value the patience and flexibility when we were running behind.

Came in after shoulder surgery. I was unable to move my arm by more than a few inches. With the help of staff members, Brandi and Penny, in about 12 short weeks I now have near full range of motion again. When I have other issues I will be back seeking remedial help. The facilities here are first rate, and the therapists go above and beyond to assist.

Prior to beginning PT, I was physically active at work and play, enjoying the gym, biking, hiking, and being in the field as a land surveyor. I had a history of lower back pain. I thought I was managing well until an out of town work trip changed that. A perfect storm of long drives and too much sitting resulted in a pinched nerve with pain in my leg and numbness in my foot. Matt and his team were able to provide therapy and over the eight weeks I came they gave me exercises and strategies to manage pain and resume the activities I love. I have hope that will continue after too. Therapy works!

I had hurt my shoulder a year ago and couldn't lift my arm forward at all, and as soon as I had surgery and got the ok from my Dr I went to see my friends at High Desert physical therapy. They helped me stretch and work that shoulder. In my time there I was helped by Jared, Kellie, Matt, and Penny and they are all so kind and helpful and knowledgeable. They each knew new therapies and movements to strengthen my shoulder and arm, and i love the Lazer they would use (that made it feel great for days)and they helped me to know what to continue to do at home. They are all so friendly, helpful, and you really get to know them as friends as you work with them. I would strongly recommend visiting High Desert for your physical therapy needs, they do it all!

More words from patients
I was ready to have a surgeon check out my shoulder. I canceled my appointment and set up sessions of PT. Feels great now. Thanks.
Jared and his staff are great. Our primary care office frequently refers patients to his office for physical therapy with fantastic results.
After a few weeks of physical therapy Bryan and Penny had me walking two miles with little pain. Bryan and Penny really motivated me to work hard. Really great experience!
I was extremely impressed with High Desert Physical Therapy. Staff is great, very friendly & Jared is totally righteous.
I have had back pain for five years and I thought I was unable to be fixed. But, on the first visit, he made me feel the best I have ever been. He is absolutely amazing and I recommend everyone I know to him.
Jared and his staff are warm and welcoming. Jared never dismisses your concerns but goes the extra mile to solve them. The atmosphere is always friendly an positive.
100%!! Jared is beyond good at what he does. Specialized, knowledgeable, caring, funny. Effective. Clean, calm environment. High grade equipment.
Jared is a physical therapist that I would recommend to my patients.
Jared is the best. I dreaded the idea of therapy, but Jared has made it actually enjoyable to go to therapy.
Jared has been my one and only therapist and I don’t need to find another! I’ve never needed PT before and to be honest I was kind of skeptical of it. Jared has made going to PT something to look forward to.
I didn’t know who I should see first- a medical doctor or physical therapist. I’ve been very impressed, and have full movement of my arm back. Thanks Bryan! You’re the best.
