Physical Therapist

Savannah Carlson, PT, DPT

Physical Therapist

Savannah is an expert in the evaluation and treatment of orthopedic and sports-related injuries, specializing in rehabilitation of both upper and lower extremities, as well as the spinal region. She is dedicated to facilitating optimal recovery and guiding patients through their return to sports or work. In addition, Savannah offers specialized care in the treatment of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, providing comprehensive strategies for alleviating discomfort and restoring function.

A proud Arizona native, Savannah grew up in Tucson and pursued her academic career at Northern Arizona University, where she earned both her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Her journey into the field of physical therapy was inspired by her personal experiences as a patient, overcoming injuries sustained from years of playing youth softball and volleyball. This invaluable insight led her to her true calling—helping others heal and recover from injury through a therapist’s perspective.

Outside of her clinical work, Savannah is an avid reader, often immersed in a good book. She also cherishes time outdoors, particularly engaging in water activities such as stand-up paddleboarding, or spending time with her dog, Rocky, on scenic walks.

I see 3 of the physical therapist there and feel like part of the family. I am treated with respect and my pains are very serious to them as they always put me first. Thank you SOL Physical Therapy!

- Dawn R. (via Google Reviews)

Debbie A Ortho

I have been to many different physical therapy places but of all the ones I have been to, I must say, SOL Physical Therapy is the best. All the therapists, techs and front office personnel are unbelievably friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to assist you and your questions. They never try and rush you through your therapy (and I have been places where that was definitely the case). I would recommend SOL to anyone that needs physical therapy, they are top notch!!

- Debbie A. (via Google Reviews)

Aimee CHT

Sol Physical Therapy is such an incredible place to go for physical therapy. I have been going for over a year and have never once had a problem. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the techs, to the physical therapists are extremely helpful, care about the patients, and will do whatever is needed to support you as the patient.

Tali B - Pediatric

We brought our 4 month old in to see AJ for torticollis. I am beyond happy we found this place as AJ was AMAZING with our son. He was personable and explanatory with everything and our son smiled so much during our visit while he was checking out his range of motion and doing stretches. We have upcoming appointments and though he is booked out a good month in advance it is WORTH the wait ten fold ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sarah G - Ortho OT CHT

I have had the pleasure of seeing Stephanie L, Dan, Rachel, and Joe at the Fort Lowell location. They are all extremely knowledgeable and know how to make the experience fun, even when you are in pain. I would (and have) highly recommend them to anyone who needs PT or OT. Kailey at the front desk is always very kind and willing to help as well.

Paulla - General

The staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable therapists. The front office staff is very friendly. I can’t say enough about the practice but thank you to everyone.

Nick T - Pediatric

We took our daughter here to get evaluated for her torticollis. The staff was very friendly and helped us get set up with a few appointments at once. Our physical therapist AJ was very informative and was gentle with our baby. Definitely looking forward to coming back for future appointments.

D.A. Pelvic Floor, general

I would not choose another place! Very professional and goes beyond to get you in at your convenience!

- D. A. (via Google Reviews)

D Val - Vestibular

The BEST! Philip is my Vestibular/Physical therapist. I have been diagnosed with bilateral, Superior Canal Dehiscence. Migraines, balance problems, hearing loss, the whole 9 yards. After a procedure to correct one side (done at UCLA), I had to find a "VRT". My husband and I absolutely love the results and improvements in my daily life. Thank you Philip, Patrick, Jessie, Jessa, A.J, Matt and Sharon, for the help you all provide to your patients!!

- D. Val (via Google Reviews)

Barbara S - General

We picked this physical therapy business randomly as it was close to home and they take my insurance. As it turned out, we were very pleased. The staff was very efficient and friendly. The thing that pleased me most was that they asked how things went since the last session. Then based on what I said, they tailored the day's exercises.
