What our patients say

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!

Wonderful team of professionals! Really helping my family.

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

The absolute best PT place in town. Highly recommend. They listen completely to your concerns and issues. And they have an office doggie, 10 stars in my book just because of that lol

This is the best place in town! Best care! And best friends! I have gotten so much better here after my injury! Matt really takes time with his patients to listen and to be their best supporters! I 100% recommend it here! #highdesertisthebest!!!!!!!!!!

Jared is pretty cool! :)

Had fun and helped fix my shoulders when other places couldnt

Took great care of my daughter!

Matt is great!!

Very professional the atmosphere there is amazing and fun

Everyone is so nice and they go above and beyond! 10/10 would recommend:)

Great staff, great physical therapy, overall great place! Would recommend again and again.

These guys are great! Jared is good. Really knows his stuff. Always willing help who needs it.

The entire staff is friendly and amazing. They helped so much with my child's foot pain and the exercises at home were easy and helpful.

I love all the therapists here. They are always on time and amazing about working with your needs!

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!

I had a great experience. The people truly care for their patients. They helped guide me to the correct exercises that helped strengthen the places I was in pain with. I can now bend over and tie my shoes without excursiating pain.

My mom said she loves this place so much and great service everyone here is so friendly and welcoming love it so much.

Great people with an extensive amount of knowledge. The staff are very caring and considerate. Wouldn’t choose anywhere else to go for physical therapy!

My experience with High Desert Theraphy is amazing, I was diagnosed with Vertigo this year and I thought my life is over. I was being fearful and I was afraid of everything thingking everything I do triggers my Vertigo but after Theraphy it thought me how to live my life without fear.

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 look forward to working with Kelli, she has a positive upbeat personality.

Jared has helped me with my back, and is the best!!

I’ve been treated by Jared for chronic dizziness (which helped me tremendously. Trying to prevent knee surgery, but ultimately needing it. But because of the care I received I was able to recover much quicker, and received great treatments to get me back on my feet! I love the openness of the facility and the atmosphere Jared and his team has created. Everyone is very caring and friendly. With Jared there is never dull moment! I have shared with friend and family my experience there, and many of them are now patients here!

Jared had taken care of both my parents as if they were his own. He always greets with a smile and a joke (probably more than one) 😉 The team there has created a great atmosphere for everyone to feel welcome, and have their needs met.

Both of my parents received physical therapy at High Desert and experienced exceptional care. The professionalism, expertise, and attention they received truly exceeded our expectations.

They do a great job at Higj Desert. I have had a great experience working with Kellie and Brandi.

Jared is fantastic! He got me into an appointment right away and after the first dry needling appointment, I felt far better!! After being in pain for 5 weeks it was much needed relief... I will be referring him to anyone I know that needs any Physical Therapy😁

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.

My experience here was great! The staff was very friendly and professional. I worked with Matt and Kelli and they were amazing. They were supportive and never told me what I had to stop doing my hobbies or restricted me on my fitness goals; instead he made goals for me to get back to what I loved to do. I am very appreciative of all of their hard work.

This is a great place I enjoy being here everybody is kind and nice to me and I love coming

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

Coming here has helped me beyond my expectations. The staff here is amazing! Go see the cute bald guy Matt lol!

Very nice and easy to work with!

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!

Very caring, attentive, knowlegable.

Everyone is very professional highly trained, compassionate and always committed to helping me receive my goal!

I went to High Desert PT for vertigo like symptoms. Brandi and Kelli were friendly and professional to work with. They kept exercises new and challenging. I would recommend High Desert to anyone looking for physical therapy!

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!

My wife works at this physical therapy clinic, and I can tell she really enjoys being a part of the team. It’s been a great place for her to work.

Everyone I have worked with at High Desert has been amazing. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and they have helped me so much with my neck pain.

Amazing place! I love how they do so much manual therapy and use of their knowledge! Great atmosphere! Love that they did to the core of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms

This is the most amazing therapy establishment I have ever been to. Everyone is so professional, knowledgeable, and beyond likable. I would recommend these amazing therapists and this establishment to any and all people I come in contact to. My family comes here and they have enjoyed every moment. Thank you for all you do not only for your patients and community.

Everyone has been so kind and listens to what your aches and pains are. The environment is very welcoming.

Everyone at High Desert Physical Therapy are very knowledgeable and helpful. They treat you very respectfully and listen to your concerns. They have gone above and beyond for me which I turn has helped my recovery! I can’t thank the whole team at High Desert enough! Highly recommend.

The people at High Desert are kind, caring, and fun to be around. They really know their stuff and want you to heal. I strongly recommend them.

Amazing place to come . Very friendly people Antonio enjoys coming let's me know many times throughout the day about his appointment. Very personal therapist. Would recommend to everyone a big shout out to the team thank you.

I had my first appt today with Brandi and she was very kind and understanding. She comforted me as I expressed my frustrations with the back pain I have struggled with for over a year. She was very optimistic about having the tools and knowledge to overcome my pain. The front desk lady, Avril, was very kind and accommodating as well. The facility is beautiful, clean, and inviting. I am looking forward to continue my care with High Desert PT.

They have been amazing. The staff are really kind.

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. Everyone made me feel supported and comfortable throughout my experience. I worked primarily with Brandi, and I truly can’t say enough great things about her. She was incredibly attentive, easy to work with, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Her encouragement and dedication helped motivate me to reach my goals and regain confidence in my progress. 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.

The people here are great! I always feel welcomed and the services they provided always make me feel better.

Very friendly and helpful with my issues!

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.

When I first started PT, I was in a lot of pain. The crab walks were extremely difficult the first time I did them, but after a few weeks, they became much easier. I can’t say thank you enough to the crew at High Desert PT. You are all phenomenal people! Thank you for helping me get my strength back. Special thanks to Penny and Brandi for being so amazing!-Wendy

Excellent! Professional! Kind! Knowledgeable! I’ve received such excellent physical therapy here at High Desert! I recommend them very highly!

Absolutely amazing staff! Thankyou thankyou ❤️🫶🏽

High Desert is the best! All the staff are so kind and encouraging. My treatment has been very successful and I would recommend this clinic to anyone!

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

Brandi is amazing. She helped me so much after a difficult shoulder surgery. I never though I would get my range of motion back. She was my biggest cheerleader and kept me motivated to continue the program to get better. Thanks for all your help Brandi. You are just the best.

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. Thank you all at High Dessert Osteopractic Physical Therapy. Shout out to Matt, keep listening to that Reggae.Music.

Tweaked my achilles a few weeks ago. Doc prescribed PT. I chose High Desert because I knew Jared and had been treated here before. Always pleased. The therapists are all professional, kind, and efficient. My results have been great. -

I am so impressed! Everyone was friendly, understanding, nonjudgmental, supportive and encouraging. My time at High Desert was great! I will always recommend High Desert and if I ever need PT again, High Desert is were I want to go! It was hard to say goodbye 🥲

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.

Jared is a modern-day miracle worker! His expertise in physical therapy is unmatched—he can fix problems that seem impossible. Highly recommend High Desert Osteopractic PT for professional care!

From start to finish it was excellent. They think outside of the box with innovative ways of PT. Brandi, Kellie, and Penny did a great job.

Brandi and Kellie are absolutely amazing! From the start, they’ve been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. Brandi explains everything clearly and makes each step easy to follow, while Kellie balances motivation with patience, always knowing how to push me. Thanks to their care and guidance, I’m stronger, more mobile, and more confident than I’ve been in a long time. If you’re looking for the best in physical therapy, Brandi and Kellie are it!

I highly recommend for superior care and friendly, competent staff. Thank you Jared & Matt!!

My experience at High Desert PT has been very positive and effective. The staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and fun. I have found success in reducing and or eliminating the pain by receiving the treatment recommended. I highly recommend High Desert for anyone who enjoys a motivational experience to enhance their health. Thanks, Steve

Working with Jared has been awesome. He’s taken the time to listen and work with me for my migraines. Defiantly would recommend him to anyone who’s dealing with them.

Matt & Kelli are amazing!! They make me feel so comfortable. They are so personable. My pain has substantially decreased. I highly recommend High Desert Osteopractic Physical Therapy.

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 broke my radial in my elbow, so this is my second time at High Desert. My first week in, I couldn't even straighten my arm at all. Matt and Kellie did their miracle work again! Now my arm feels like I never even broke it!! High Desert has the best therapists in town. I have nothing but GOOD to say about everyone here! Thank you! Again!-Juanita

These guys are the best! Kellie and Jared are incredible to work with and they care so much. They don’t push you beyond anything you’re comfortable with but they definitely won’t let you be lazy. Highly recommend these guys!

10/10 recommend! I never realized how much physical therapy could do for me until I did it! The staff at High Desert PT are amazing. They really do figure it out and help a ton! If I ever need physical therapy again, I'll be coming back to see these wonderful people😊 They truly have my respect and admiration🫶

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

I am extremely pleased with my experience at HDPT. The therapists are knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is calming and conducive for the journey to healing. I have had physical therapy on 3 occasions, and this was by far the most successful experience.

I have been in to see Matt & Kellie for a rotator cuff. They really helped me out a lot with it and answered all the questions that I had. I am doing a lot better now but I recently went in for a sore neck and shoulder blade and they are going to help me out with that as well. I really like how Matt and Kellie work with me.

My visits with Jared were a 5 star. I felt listened to and my results were very positive. I highly recommend this practice!!

I was referred to High Desert PT when I experienced pain post surgery. Brandi located the issue with my shoulder pain and we made a plan to strengthen and repair my muscle. After only a few sessions with Brandi I immediately noticed a difference. My pain was gone. Brandi continued to work with me to strengthen my muscles and I haven’t experienced pain since. High Desert is a fun, engaging, welcoming environment and I’m so thankful for their help.

I came in with a hurt shoulder, from the moment I got there everyone was so nice and welcoming!! Brandy and Kelly we're my physical therapists and they were amazing! They made me feel relaxed and comfortable. The owner Jared is super nice. He's definitely awesome at what he does. And his dog is super cute!!!!!! I am definitely going to return if I ever need them again. By the time I left there, I felt better than ever!! I highly recommend this place to anyone!!. Thank you so much you guys! I appreciate you more than you know. Also the receptionist lady is adorable and very helpful,!!

I’ve needed to have physical therapy a few times due to life. Every time High Desert Physical Therapy has gotten me back on track and feeling better. They have an amazing staff. The rehabilitation options are great to help me feel better and better every time.

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.

Jared, Penny and of course Gus are absolutely amazing! Everyone makes you feel like you are part of the family. While focusing on the rehab, they also keep it light hearted. In that you can forget about some pain as you work to get better. Definitely won't be disappointed choosing High Desert.

High Desert Physical Therapy has been the key to my recovery from knee replacement surgery. Brandi Allerdings and team are very caring and supportive. HDPT is the reason I have recovered from my surgery in a timely manner.

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 mini stroke and have been going to High Desert Osteopathic Physical Therapy for help and recovery. This place is GREAT! Everyone is so kind & helpful. I have been working for months with Matt Krammen. He is a knowledgeable, compassionate, fun person! I trust him 100%! If you need help recovering from pain or any physical injury…This is THE PLACE! They are THE BEST!!! Thank you Jared Pugmire, owner, for establishing such a great place to help people in need! I give your business & staff a 10 star! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Jared Pugmire runs an incredible place. His staff are all knowledgeable and friendly & really great at their jobs! I recommend High Desert Osteopathic Physical Therapy to anyone that needs help! I love this place!

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. " Kaden B. from Chubbuck Mar 10, 2025 "Love working here!

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.

The entire team has been amazing!

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.

Everyone I've worked with has been extremely knowledgeable and friendly! They make sure that you get what works for you!

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!

Great place! It’s a beautiful facility and the staff are amazing!

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 love going to High Desert Physical Therapy. Jared and his team have been critical in my pain management. Thank you!

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!
