Tom Long, PT | Phoenix & Queen Creek

Tom is a native of Illinois, and grew up in the small suburb of Naperville, Chicago. He attended Midwestern University in Downers, Illinois and displayed his leadership abilities as President of his physical therapy class and of the College of Health Sciences. Tom also received the Midwestern Community Service Award while completing his degree. Tom has extensive training in spine rehabilitation, including lumbar, thoracic and cervical disk issues, pelvic girdle asymmetries, radicular symptoms and cervico-genic headaches. He enjoys treating patients with spine and sports injuries, and with his experience as a physical therapist and athlete, can relate to his patients wanting to return to the activities they love.

Tom was able to realize his dream of opening a physical therapy clinic in 2000, and provides physical therapy in a fun, warm and inviting family oriented atmosphere, while achieving outstanding patient results. He is committed to quality patient care, but also likes mixing things up a bit by telling silly jokes and having fun. Living by his company motto, “Your Recovery is Our Passion”, Tom is very passionate about physical therapy, patient care and family, whether it is his Above & Beyond staff or his wife and son at home, both families are very special to him. Tom enjoys spending time with Carrie, his wife, and their son and daughter. He also stays busy playing soccer, skiing, golfing, hiking and competing in triathlons.
