Learn to treat athletes the way they deserve to be treated.
AZPI is a 1-on-1 sports and orthopedic physical therapy clinic in Mesa. Our rotations put students in the room for the full visit, not the last ten minutes of it, alongside clinicians who treat everyone from weekend warriors to competitive athletes.
A rotation built around real mentorship
Our clinicians never double-book, which means your supervising PT is actually watching you work, not managing three rooms at once.
Full-visit mentorship
You're involved for the whole session, every time, because your clinical instructor isn't split across other patients.
Athlete-heavy caseload
From youth sports to HYROX competitors, you'll see athletic populations most rotations only talk about.
Cross-discipline exposure
Rotate through orthopedic care, sports performance, and pelvic floor rehab under one roof.
A team, not a rotation mill
Pay equity and burnout prevention aren't slogans here, they shape how our whole team treats each other, including you.
