Award-Winning Care, Hometown Roots: Inside Idaho’s Most Trusted Physical Therapy Team
Nationwide (USANews.comFor more than 20 years, Idaho Spine and Sports Physical Therapy (ISSPT) has served the Treasure Valley with a commitment to patient-centered care. What started as a single clinic in Boise has grown into a locally respected network of five locations—each rooted in the same mission: to provide personalized, hands-on support to help individuals move more freely and comfortably in their daily lives. Named Best Physical Therapy Clinic in Idaho for 2025, ISSPT’s continued growth reflects a strong reputation for clinical attentiveness and building lasting patient relationships. “We believe physical therapy is about more than just physical recovery,” says Bret Adams, PT, Founder of ISSPT. “It’s about helping people return to the activities they value—whether that’s being active with family, returning to work, or reaching a personal goal.”
A Personalized Approach to Therapy At ISSPT, patients work directly with licensed physical therapists in one-on-one sessions—an approach that sets the clinic apart from high-volume models. This individualized attention allows for treatment plans that are closely aligned with each person’s condition and recovery goals. Common conditions they work with include:
  • Joint replacements (knee, hip, shoulder)
  • ACL and meniscus injuries
  • Spinal surgery rehabilitation and disc-related pain
  • Sciatica and nerve compression issues
  • Tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and joint discomfort
  • Chronic back and neck conditions
  • Athletic injury recovery and performance care
The ISSPT team includes therapists trained in techniques such as dry needling, manual therapy, and spinal mobilization. These methods are integrated as appropriate to support patient goals and comfort.

Community-Based, Locally Owned

ISSPT remains privately owned and operated—a distinction that supports both continuity of care and deep community connections. Clinics across Boise and Meridian are staffed by professionals who live locally and understand the needs of the people they serve. Outside the clinic, ISSPT contributes to community wellness through:
  • Sponsorship of school athletics

  • Participation in local health events

  • Offering pro bono services in cases of financial hardship

  • Providing care in Spanish, Farsi, and Arabic to serve a diverse population
“Trust and compassion are at the heart of everything we do,” Adams says. “That’s what keeps people coming back—and what inspires them to share their experience with others.”

Patient Feedback and Professional Endorsement

ISSPT’s reputation has been shaped by word-of-mouth and consistent feedback from satisfied clients. For instance, Boise resident Sarah L. shared her personal experience: “After years of ongoing neck and shoulder pain, this was the first place where I felt truly heard and supported. The therapists explained every step and worked with me directly.”  Beyond patient testimonials, local physicians also refer to ISSPT—many of whom have chosen the clinic for their own care. That ongoing collaboration between healthcare providers reflects the team’s commitment to evidence-informed therapy and professional integrity. Idaho Spine and Sports Physical Therapy continues to evolve while remaining grounded in its original values: attentive care, local connection, and a dedication to helping individuals move through life with greater ease.
