About
Downtown Physical Therapy
At Downtown Physical Therapy, our mission is simple: To provide all those that live and work in downtown Phoenix expert physical therapy care in a warm, friendly environment.
We believe that orthopedic healing is achieved through MOTION and STRENGTH! For most patients this will mean a combination of “hands on” manual therapy performed by an experienced physical therapist as well as a therapeutic exercise program (Therex) designed by your therapist.
We are here to not only help you achieve all of your rehab goals, but to build relationships with everyone that walks through our doors. We believe that this is achieved through a foundation of clear communication. This includes everything from:
- Greeting you by name as you walk in the door
- Educating you on your injury and the best road to recovery
- Verifying your insurance benefits and making sure that you are informed of your cost and benefits allowed through your particular plan

About Steve Thomas, PT, DPT:
Steve received both his Bachelor of Health Science as well as his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Touro School of Health Science in New York where he graduated with honors. Steve has extensive experience in the out-patient orthopedic and rehabilitation hospital setting.
Before moving to Phoenix, Steve worked for St. Charles Hospital and Rehabilitation Center in New York, which is regarded as one of Long Island’s premier rehabilitation hospitals. Steve gained valuable experience working hand in hand with physiatrist, neurologist, and orthopedic surgeons. At St. Charles Hospital, Steve treated a wide spectrum of patients, from orthopedic patients recovering from joint replacements and bone fractures, to neurological patients who have experienced stroke and spinal cord injuries.
After moving to Phoenix, Steve has spent the past 10 years working in the sports rehab setting in the Arcadia neighborhood. During this time he was able to work with some of the top rehab experts in the state treating everyone from professional, collegiate and high school athletes to an endless amount of “weekend warriors” that just wanted to get back to the activities they love.
Steve opened Downtown Physical Therapy in 2019 after watching the immense growth of the downtown Phoenix area over the past several years. He is excited to bring his expertise to help all those that live, work and play downtown return to all of the activities they love, pain free.
