Tensegrity Physical Therapy and Wellness — Local services in Tucson

I have degenerative disc disease. I have been going to different people(physical therapist and doctors) for this problem over the last 3 years. Not one of these people has been able to help me. Doctors push me off on pain management, and a physical therapist that helped in the beginning only to give up on me when my condition changes as it often does with this problem. Michaela Gaither Is the owner and mastermind of Tensegrity and has given me back my life, not an easy feat to accomplish. Michaela is a physical therapist by trade, but she is so much more than that. Any problem I came to her with she has always had a solution to. When my condition changes, she has been there to help me overcome it. Michaela is a wealth of information and has wonderful people that work with her. So, whatever your problem is, from just getting back into shape or you think things are hopeless and there is no help out there, go to Tensegrity and be amazed at what Michaela and the wonderful people can do for you, like Xiaoli Ade massage therapist extraordinaire and front desk receptionist Audrey Whitehead, who will do her best to get you in at the time that is good for you, and many more people there to help you on your path to wellness. Also, they offer classes in pilates,...

As someone with scoliosis and osteoporosis, I’ve been doing PT with many talented therapists for 35 years or so. No one has been more helpful with my “bad” neck (from a car accident 50 years ago), crooked spine, and aching, misaligned shoulders than Mikaela Gaither at Tensegrity. Besides being very kind and a delight to work with, she knows her anatomy inside and out and comes up with routines and exercises that are varied and very efficient. The protocols have gone so much deeper than past therapists have brought me. My right shoulder now sits inches back from when we started 7 weeks ago, my neck and posture are markedly improved, and my pain level is way down. I don’t know of anyone else in Tucson who spends a full hour with clients one on one, sends exercise homework via email or text, will take videos on my iPhone to help me remember key points, does deep hands on manipulation followed by heat or ice. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with Mikaela. It truly has transformed my life in unexpected and...

Tensegrity is one of the best wellness gems of the foothills. Kayla has done an amazing job of creating a really special place that you feel better just by being in it. Every time I walk through the clinic and see the city from the windows I just think “wow!” From the incredible PT she personally provides as her core business, she has curated a group of so many talented wellness professionals to provide all you need from massage therapy to personal training to nutrition to yoga. I’ve even attended a few wellness day events that were really educational and fun and appreciated all the new knowledge I left with. The past 2 massage therapies I had at Tensegrity left me more mobile, less stressed, with less aches and pains, and feeling great from the time I walked out the door. Thank you Kayla for all you and your team do to bring all of your talent, expertise, warmth, and passion to helping me feel better - every time I’m lucky enough to be in your space. You can tell you truly love...
