At K2 Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, we climb the limitless possibilities of human performance. Our expert-level treatments and training enhance athleticism, relationships, and life itself.

K2 was founded with a clear vision: to bring professional-level training and treatment to the high school and collegiate athlete.

Today, our patient population reflects that mission with 95% of our patients being high school and collegiate athletes. These athletes are represented by many of the top programs across the state and nation in a variety of sports including football, baseball, basketball, track & field, flag football, soccer, cheer, gymnastics, and dance.

We proudly serve athletes from over 30 high schools throughout the East Valley of Arizona, with many competing at an elite level locally and advancing to collegiate athletics. K2 athletes currently represent more than 35 colleges and universities nationwide, including University of California (Berkeley), University of Utah, Brigham Young University, Arizona State University, University of Arizona, University of Oklahoma, University of Oregon, Oklahoma State University, UCLA, and the University of Wisconsin.

The Sports Performance Physical Therapist is a hybrid clinician and coach who delivers professional-level, evidence-based rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance training. The provider works in a cash pay model with one-on-one hour-long sessions, collaborates closely within a team culture, contributes to education and programming, and actively invests in athlete development on and beyond the treatment table.

Role includes 25–32 one-hour treatment and/or performance sessions per week, scheduled across four treatment days. Remaining professional hours are dedicated to marketing initiatives, communication with athletes, parents, coaches, and athletic trainers, attending games, leading injury-prevention workshops, and community outreach.

Elite performance requires elite presence. By limiting patient volume and investing in time outside of sessions, our clinicians build meaningful, lasting relationships with athletes and their support systems. K2 intentionally structures clinician schedules to prioritize a “front row” relationship-based care, not volume-based medicine.
