True Care Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. Choosing the right physical therapist—one who celebrates your every triumph and encourages you through each struggle on your path to improved health—is important for your well-being. Instead of settling for physical therapy care that is subpar, visit True Care Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Surprise, Arizona!

About. True Care Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation owner, Raymond Popp, has been a physical therapist since 2001. Raymond began True Care in 2015 so that he could treat patients his way, without being pressured by the big corporations that instruct their therapists to focus on numbers versus helping the client. While Raymond recognizes that all physical therapists have a purpose and desire to help people, therapists dealing with corporate businesses are coerced to provide rushed and non-patient specific quality care. For Raymond, patient care comes FIRST!

Raymond also has a post-graduate diploma as an Osteopractor, which allows him to specialize in manual therapy that includes dry needling, spinal and extremity manipulation, as well as muscle energy techniques and traditional physical therapy interventions. Put simply, as a manual therapist Raymond is able to improve his clients’ body structure and allow the body to heal and strengthen, all without placing excessive stress to the injured area.

The Difference. What makes True Care different from other physical therapist practices? First, when you visit True Care Physical Therapy, you work directly with Raymond or one of his hand picked, personally trained staff. This personalized care structure, coupled with the fact that everyone at True Care is dedicated to helping you succeed, makes for a positive physical therapy experience. Plus, it’s a family owned and operated local business, so your care is more individualized and tailored to YOU.

What’s more, Raymond helps patients get better faster with techniques that actually work. This way, they don’t have to worry about “wasting insurance,” and they’re not required to attend therapy sessions for extended periods of time. The family-oriented environment you experience as a True Care Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation client let’s you see that “They Truly do Care!”

Ray was recently the subject of an article in the Sun City Independent…

Representing the state as one of the best requires talent, experience and integrity. Popp also brings humility and a personal touch to every patient relationship, according to registry officials. Even more than the value of his service, people rememberc is way of treating them like an extended member of his own family. Popp has also maintained a positive peer rating. His years of service, along with his level of expertise and several other factors, also contributed tohis inclusion. Popp opened True Care Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Surprise in September 2015.

Having a talented and good therapist is crucial, but having someone who understands the pain, the struggle and the challenges involved is even more important. Popp has all of that because he has his own story of hardship.

He grew up in Long Island, New York, where he studied business. Realizing that he wanted to help others, he became a volunteer fireman. One day, a pressure irregularity in the hose pulled his shoulder out of its socket, and it took two painful surgeries and two years of physical therapy to put it back. That ended his firefighting, so he graduated and became a stock broker. He didn’t like asking people to part with their money, and he realized how important physical therapy was to helping him heal, so he became a therapist himself.

It took him six more years of school to achieve his dream, graduating in 2001. Then the terrorist attacks happened.Popp lost many friends, former fellow firemen and his neighbor, who was the co-pilot on United Flight 93. But Poppknew he had to pull through so he could help others.

He met his future wife on a blind date in 2003 and five months later asked her to marry him. The happy couple had a child and they moved to Arizona in 2008, where he went to work as a physical therapist.

Then he was stopped at a red light Jan. 6, 2011, on his way to see a patient when a driver smacked into him from behind at almost 70 miles per hour. Popp didn’t know what hit him.

“The last thing I remember was calling my wife from the ambulance to tell her I was in an accident and I couldn’t feel legs,” he explained.

The diagnosis was a subdural hematoma and fractured L-3. He was in ICU for several days, then back again because his brain was swelling. He couldn’t walk, and he couldn’t talk. He was in the hospital for another month for rehab. Again, Popp was determined to overcome his tragedy with the help of his family and friends, his faith in God and the help of the rehab team.

There was only one glitch. His rehab people weren’t very supportive. At first, Popp told the therapist how to help him because she was young and inexperienced. The next therapist would tell him to do things and then walk away and not even pay attention. When she did pay attention, she was rude.

“She yelled at me and she was very disrespectful,” Popp said. He was even more determined to get back on his feet and back to work.

“I realized I was going through this for a reason,” he explained. “It made me realize what some patients go through, and I never wanted to be like that as a therapist. If I ever was in the past, I decided never to be that way in the future.”

Slowly, he regained his speech and made his way from a wheelchair to a walker, and then a cane. Popp not only overcame his accident, but he got back to work. His understanding of what his patients are going through allows him to bond with them in an exceptional way, and their healing progress is often seen as miraculous.

True Care Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Reviews

“True Care Rehab is amazing. Raymond owns and runs his practice with expertise and skill that has amazed me. He has such a wealth of knowledge coming from a wide range of experience. I thought I would never drive again, due to a head injury and could not turn my neck to the left. He has unbelievable skill with therapeutic manipulation and has given me a new lease on life. There is no words to express how grateful I am. He makes the experience enjoyable and treats a client with respect and caring. I would refer him to anyone who has an injury, don’t live with pain, go see him at True Care!” -Cindy C.

“Ray is AMAZING …I woke up a few weeks back with my right side “locked up” tighter than Fort Knox from neck to big toe. I tried the usual rest, heat, ice, Tylenol; after @10 days with little relief; I went to my regular dr. Dr Horrocks (who is also amazing), he referred me to Raymond Popp, and I am so glad he did. He is patient, attentive, and knows what he is doing. After just 4 sessions, the last 2 of which he used needling. Though not initially the most comfortable treatment option , I can not argue with the results, full and complete relief of all symptoms. I have stenosis of the cervical spine and deal with frequent headaches, pain etc. I will absolutely be seeking Ray’s expertise to relieve and manage this issue. True caring professionals are hard to come by, I thank God I was referred to Ray, and I will not hesitate to endorse him any chance I get. And his office manager Jackie is sweet, helpful, and a sheer delight to interact with whenever contacting the office.” -Sandy S.

“My parents and my daughter are patient’s at True Care. Ray is an awesome therapist with healing hands. He is compassionate, caring and a professional who “truly cares”. Im an occupational therapist and I trust Ray with my family’s  PT needs. I also refer my patients who need PT to True Care.” -Mike S.

“When I broke my arm (at the top by  my shoulder) Ray
listened  to my concerns, didn’t push me beyond  my limits and was thorough with his instructions. He was really great. If you need a physical therapist, I highly recommend him.” -Paula W

“Ray is an amazing Physical Therapist. I have a lot of issues with my Cervical Spine and Ray was able to keep the pain at bay while I was going to him. It always came back a few days later but that’s to be expected with the issues that I have. His Physical Therapy is one of the few things that helped me to feel half way decent. I have recommended him a LOT and will continue to do so. As an added bonus, he’s got some great jokes. Lol. Thanks Ray, for all you did for me!” -Kevin M.
