Best Performance & Therapy

"I went to Dr. Best with some shoulder/lat pain as a swimmer and I thought I was going to have to deal with the mild pain for the rest of my life. I was a little skeptical as I never have been to a PT office before and was unsure as to how well it would work but Dr. Best came up with a program and I stuck to it and the issue is completely gone. I can swim and lift without any pain at all anymore and I am blown away at how well the therapy worked. I am a believer now and i would suggest anyone go see Dr. Best - shes a miracle worker! Thanks - Mitch."

"One of the best physical therapist I’ve ever found in Phoenix. With skillful hands, and the knowledge to back it up she is adept at dry needling, and other procedures that other physical therapists don’t always offer or have the skills to perform. Her treatment programs are incredibly effective and helped me with my back pain and leg pain. She has the knowledge, tools, skills, and experience to give you what you need to be an effective patient and have a successful outcome. Definitely recommend."

"I am a crossfit and health coach. Being in the fitness industry for so long and having worked with PTs before as a technician and a patient, I have high standards when it comes to Physical Therapists. So trust me when I say that Lauren is one of the best! I love how she really listened to my concerns and spent the time needed to really figure out what was going on. The exercises she had me do to heal my injuries have been unique and super effective. This is not what most PTs do. Instead of the same things everyday, she has been mixing things up, and has helped me to continue to progress without overdoing it...which was exactly what I needed. I always refer my clients, friends, and family to Lauren because I know they will be taken care of!"

"I have had the pleasure of being treated by Lauren Best, my physical therapist, for neck stiffness and limited mobility for a couple of months now. My experience with Lauren has been nothing short of exceptional. Lauren is an attentive listener who quickly adapts to any changes in my condition. Lauren does not limit herself to a routine but tailors her treatments to meet MY specific needs on each visit. Lauren never gets stuck in a rut and modifies each treatment based on my needs that day. For example, if I mention that my hips are tight after riding my dirt bike over the weekend, she doesn't tell me to take it easy, your 52 years old, or suggest we address it next week. Instead, she quickly shifts gears and goes right to work on my tight hips. Even with the change in focus, she still finds time to address my neck issues during the same visit. I am happy to say my neck feels better today than it has in over 20 years! I have a full range of motion in my shoulders again, and my hips are starting to become flexible again. I feel way less stiff and achy, I am sleeping better, and things feel a lot better at the gym. She has coached me on a few exercises I was totally doing WRONG, like my pull-ups and I see a huge improvement in most of my exercises at the gym. I was also having a really hard time shooting my bow, my shoulders were so achy. My shoulders feel 20 years younger now and I am actually hitting the target again, its so much funner without the shoulder aches and pains. I'm Ready for my next deer and elk hunts now. Overall, I think Lauren is an incredible physical therapist who truly cares about her patients' well-being. Her ability to adapt to my needs and modify her treatment plan accordingly has been invaluable to me. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of physical therapy services. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate physical therapist, look no further than Lauren Best. CALL HER TODAY you will thank me"

"I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Best Performance & Therapy. First and foremost Dr. Lauren Best is hands down the best Physical Therapist I’ve had the privilege to work with. I first came into her practice over a year ago with recurring bicep tendinitis issues (discovered through my working with Crossfit) which I unfortunately could not get a handle on with two other previous PTs. As soon as I started working with her, she demonstrated a tremendous amount of knowledge and understanding of my issue (especially from a Crossfit perspective) and how we’d work together to get it moving in the right direction. During our sessions, Lauren always takes the time to share the “why” and “details” behind everything that she’s doing as well as what I need to focus on outside of our sessions. In working with her she has helped me greatly reduce my bicep tendinitis issues as well as assist me in recovering from two unexpected injuries that I was faced with (one with my left hamstring and the other with my left wrist/hand). If you’re looking for a very well rounded, knowledgeable, and caring Physical Therapist that is going to build a partnership with you and work to getting you back to your best physical self, then look no further than Best Performance & Therapy and Dr. Lauren Best as she’ll deliver on your PT needs (which also includes an outstanding Telehealth option)."
