WHAT IS OSTEOPRACTIC?
WHO
An Osteopractor is a physical therapist, medical doctor, or doctor of osteopathic medicine that has completed an evidence-based post-graduate training program in the use of spinal and extremity thrust manipulation, ultrasound-guided dry needling, instrument-assisted manual therapies, and differential diagnostics for the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
WHAT
Osteopractic Physical Therapy is an approach to care, a sub-specialty within physical therapy, and more accurately describes the kind of physical therapy services (rather than simply “physical therapy”) offered so the public, potential patients and colleagues alike, can identify the appropriate practitioner of choice for the condition in question.
WHY
When you break a bone, you look for an orthopedist, not just a general medical doctor. When you have a skin condition, you go to the dermatologist. When your child needs medical care, you look for a pediatrician, not just a general medical doctor. Likewise, when you have neck pain, low back pain, headaches, tennis elbow, heel pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, shoulder impingement, or joint pain etc., it makes sense to look for a specialist within physical therapy, i.e. an Osteopractic Physical Therapist or Osteopractor, not a generalist, that is specifically trained and has advanced post-graduate qualifications to treat neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
What WE offer
Physical Therapy in North Scottsdale for Active Adults & Athletes
Physiotherapy

Our specialized team crafts personalized rehabilitation plans, integrating cutting-edge techniques for swift recovery and sustained well-being, fostering a supportive community for those prioritizing an active lifestyle. GO Physio offers high quality physiotherapy services for those who expect and demand more than they receive at the average health care practice.

Point-of-Care Imaging
Get answers faster with real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound. Instead of guessing, we can assess muscles, tendons, and joints on the spot—so you get a clear diagnosis and a more targeted treatment plan from day one. We use point-of-care ultrasound to evaluate your injury in real time—allowing for more precise diagnosis and smarter treatment decisions without delays or unnecessary referrals.
Specialists in Dry Needling
Dry needling is only as effective as the clinician performing it. Our advanced training allows us to target the exact source of pain—helping reduce muscle tension, improve movement, and accelerate your recovery. We go beyond basic dry needling. With advanced training and precision targeting, we treat the true source of pain—not just the symptoms—so you can get better, faster.
Fellowship Trained Clinicians
Fellowship training represents the highest level of clinical education in physical therapy. You’ll work one-on-one with a specialist trained to evaluate and treat complex injuries with a level of precision most clinics simply don’t offer. Less than 1% of physical therapists complete fellowship training. This means you’re working with a true specialist—someone equipped to solve problems other providers may have missed.
Highly Skilled
Our clinicians carry skillsets of the highest quality with advanced post-doctorate training in dry needling, spinal manipulation, myofascial release, IASTM, therapeutic cupping and more in orthopedic conditions, pain management, as well as injury rehabilitation and body resilience.
1-On-1 Specialized Care
GO focuses on 1 patient in a single appointment. Period. Your appointment with GO is 100% focused on you and reaching your personal goals. This means less time doing the same boring exercises, and more efficient use of your time with the clinician so you can get back to doing what you love faster!
Patient Education
Part of healing is learning what you can do to stay strong and healthy! Spending quality time with your clinician allows for a thorough understanding of what's going on with your body, as well as how to get better and keep it from coming back.
