Learn more about our Arizona Location
The Equine Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Scottsdale Division provides advanced, veterinary-directed rehabilitation and conditioning programs for performance horses throughout Arizona and the Southwest.
What sets our program apart is that our facilities are the only veterinary board-certified (DACVSMR) specialist owned and operated equine rehabilitation centers in Arizona and Texas. Rehabilitation at our Scottsdale facility goes far beyond stall rest, hand walking, or aqua treadmill sessions. Each horse receives a custom rehabilitation plan built on the core pillars of equine physical therapy, designed to improve balance, neuromotor control, core stability, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and timing.
In addition to injury recovery programs, we offer custom strength and conditioning packages for off-season performance horse training, helping equine athletes return to work stronger and more resilient.
The Scottsdale program is led by board-certified equine sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist (DACVSMR) and PhD Dr. Sherry Johnson, who serves as the managing veterinarian. With more than a decade of clinical experience rehabilitating high-level equine athletes across multiple disciplines, Dr. Johnson focuses exclusively on orthopedic rehabilitation and collaborates closely with referring veterinarians to achieve the best possible outcomes during and after the rehabilitation process.
