What Patients Say
Reviews shared by patients of Precision Physical Therapy.
“The experience that I have had with Precision since the day I walked in has been mind blowing. When I first walked into Precision Physical Therapy I had no movement to my right hip at all. After one laser treatment I was able to gain ability in my right hip in motion and I could never do that before. Yes I highly recommend Precision Physical Therapy to anyone and everyone that has pain that they have not been able to get rid. I had been going through physical therapies at the University of Utah and they helped a little bit and I kept getting spinal injections they'd help a little bit and then I got referred to Precision and honestly I can say it has really had a big impact on my life and being able to do more things that I wasn't able to. Thank you guys.”Read full review
“I had a great experience here! I am a local dentist and I have had lower back issues for years with no relief or resolution. I tried everything from home remedies to chiropractics, but finally tried to go through Physical Therapy to see if that helped and I found this place. He did a combination of dry needling and laser therapy and my lower back pain went away almost immediately. I have been pain free for weeks and still going strong. Quality of life has changed dramatically for me. I'm grateful for the expertise and detail that went into my case. I recommend this place for anyone with chronic pain.”Read full review
“Michael is absolutely amazing!! I have had shoulder and arm pain for 6 months, I have gone to chiropractors, massage therapy, and other places. I'm am amazed that in just my first visit I have more motion, less pain. I can't wait to return and get my range of motion back.”
“I found Michael , Precision’ Physical therapy online. Actually he was the recipient of my 1st search, I had been referred to 2 other physical therapy clinic’s but was told they were very busy. I didn’t want my therapy done by more than 1 therapists, I ve had extensive PT before this injury some good & some not so much. Michael works with one patient at a time, one on one. I was having balance issues & had frequent falls. 3 in one week. I was in considerable pain, shoulders & left knee & thigh. The 1st visit he dry needled, similar to acupuncture, and taped my injuries. My knee was especially painful, he needled it & then used tape above the knee on my thigh. I thought he was treating the injury on my thigh. At my next visit I reported that my knee wasn’t hurting anymore. He smiled & said “Great, that’s what I treated you for last week. I was so surprised, The pain Had gone away & I didn’t realize that was his goal. It was amazing to me that the pain was gone& I didn’t expect it. It was an unexpected blind study. He treated me for pain until it was mostly gone but also started PT for balance & strength. My balance started gradually improving, I had been using a cane to steady myself. In just a few weeks I felt stable enough to ditch the cane but was still walking very carefully. Now I’m confident enough to walk wherever I go as long as the surface is flat. I still avoid uneven surfaces like rocks & curbs but test it every once in a while & find I’m improving. The best thing is that my pain is gone and I feel more balanced & increasing the strength, especially in my legs. I’ve been so pleased with how much progress I’ve made in a fairly short time. Michael is pleasant & encourages me. I am confident that I can and will continue to improve. Something I was afraid would not be possible in my 70’s. As I said before, I have had extensive physical therapy & this is by far the best I have found. I am so grateful I followed my gut & made that call.”Read full review
“I've been in pain, stiff and have had migraines since a car accident 2 weeks ago. After one session of laser and dry needling, I woke up with a very manageable tiny headache and my neck is moving more than it has in weeks. Can't wait to see how much more we can achieve in future visits.”
“Last year, December 2023, I was involved in a traffic accident, post care at the Salt Lake City hospital, I was highly recommended physical therapy treatment and was referred to Precision Physical Therapy, Sandy UT. Michael Ahuna started treatment for my injuries that include my neck, spine, hips, shoulders, R knee, R ankle, L wrist. Michael’s attention to detail for scheduling and treatment have made a tremendous difference in my recovery path.”Read full review
“Precision physical therapy is amazing! And I could not get the pinching between my shoulder blades to go away for weeks, even after chiropractors and yoga. Michael knew exactly what muscles to target with his workouts and different techniques, I was back to normal within a month! Thank you again, I’ve never been happier to pick up my kiddos.”Read full review
“I went to Precision PT after experiencing pain in my shoulder that was radiating into my head and down my arm, making it difficult to move let alone function. I tried massage and acupuncture and nothing helped. After one visit with Michael and my pain decreased significantly. By my third visit, I was pain free and by my final visit, my muscles were functioning again and my range of motion was better than ever. I can’t recommend Precision PT enough.”Read full review
“The workers and therapists were super kind and funny. Made an effort to make a personal bond. All types of therapy were super effective and they made sure of it, according to each patient. No cop outs. Made me feel apart of the PPT family. Came in with a two time injured ankle where I couldn’t even walk without being in excruciating pain. Came out with no pain at all and I get to enjoy the sport I love again, thanks to Dr ahuna and his staff.”Read full review
“Michael and John are absolutely amazing. I went from barely able to walk stairs to standing up / sitting down easily. They helped tremendously in my knee recovery journey.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to receive treatment?+
The short answer is no. Direct Access means you have the legal right to be treated by a physical therapist without a prescription or referral. In Utah a few insurances do require a referral — call or text us and we will let you know.
How can I pay for each session?+
We recommend contacting your insurance carrier to determine your coverage, copayments/coinsurance, and overall plan. Our staff will assess your insurance benefits and notify you of your payments at each visit. We accept cash, check, debit card, and credit card, and we can discuss payment options depending on your circumstance.
How do I prepare for my first appointment?+
Fill out the intake forms emailed to you after scheduling, and arrive at least 10 minutes early. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your problem areas. If you intend to use insurance, bring your insurance information, along with any referrals, prescriptions, and test results. For an auto accident or workers compensation claim, bring your case manager or adjuster contact details and claim number.
When will I start to feel better?+
Each patient's diagnosis is unique. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation and thorough history, then design a treatment plan for you. For some people relief is felt on day one; for others there is a journey filled with ups and downs. We provide guidelines on the likely duration of your situation and expected progress in realistic timetables.
How long does physical therapy take?+
Everyone is different, and so is their ability to heal. You will have a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals, with constant feedback and refinement of your program. We use physiological benchmarks and your individual treatment response to maximize results in the shortest time possible.
How is physical therapy different at Precision Physical Therapy?+
We believe in individualized treatment for every patient: one-on-one attention with an experienced physical therapist, a targeted assessment to get to the root of the problem, pain-free exercises matched to your goals, and a custom treatment plan — rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
What should I wear?+
Loose-fitting clothes that are comfortable to move in and provide easy access to the area of your symptoms. We also advise comfortable shoes or sneakers.
Do you treat my condition?+
Physical therapists are trained to treat all types of musculoskeletal conditions, and our therapists are state-licensed graduates of accredited physical therapy programs. If we feel another therapist or healthcare provider would better serve you, we will suggest people we know and trust.
