About Excel
Excel Sports Performance and Rehabilitation, the leader in individual rehabilitation, wellness and sports performance services in Tempe and Scottsdale, was started to give clients control of their health and their rehab process. Dr. Ricks worked in traditional physical therapy clinics seeing large numbers of clients with relatively little patient interaction and decided that your money should buy you more. When you come to Excel you will not be dragged through work outs with aides or be seen with multiple patients. All services are specific to you and will help you return to your activity sooner than later, and Dr. Ricks works closely with health and fitness professionals to cater to your fitness goals and ensure continued progress with your goals beyond rehab. Excel operates as a concierge clinic and is in-network with Medicare. Most clients are able to submit for reimbursement with their insurer for part or all of the service. Our clients have improved with fewer visits than industry standard and frequently spend much less than in deductibles and co-pays at a traditional physical therapy clinic. Whether you are looking to rehab a recent injury or surgery, improve your fitness or manage recurrent symptoms from your current activities, Excel Sports Performance and Rehabilitation is the company for you.
