About Us
Our Philosophy
All of our patients are capable of anything they are willing to work for. Whether you would like to return to the sport or adaptive sport you love pain-free, recover as completely as possible from a stroke or learn the exact cues and movements necessary to utilize your prosthesis after an amputation we are here for you and your goals. - The Rise and Thrive Mobility Team
Right now, you are doing it. Despite all the background noise, and the challenges, and the distractions, and the doubts that tell you otherwise, you are doing it. You are creating your beautiful life. You are travelling in the right direction. Set aside your doubts. Quiet the thoughts that say you aren’t good enough, important enough, capable enough to begin. Tell them you can’t listen because today you trust yourself. Today, be bold. Be strong. Fight on. - From the book Fight on by: MH Clark (and we couldn’t have said it better!)
Annie Diedrich PT, DPT, OCS, NCS has been a physical therapist in Tucson, AZ for 17 years. She has two board certifications in Neurology and Orthopedics and considers this a strong point in combining knowledge of many systems to always treat the whole person. With Rise and Thrive Mobility Consultants, Annie brings years of experience with neurological, orthopedic and amputee patients to a mobile setting. For twelve years, she has been specializing in amputee rehab, combining specialized gait techniques. In the past she has coordinated an Amputee Support Group and a multidisciplinary Amputee Clinic. Annie’s specialized gait techniques with patients with amputation have garnered national attention with a special focus on training physical therapists and prosthetists on the various systems that affect gait with a prosthetic. Annie also volunteers at a monthly pediatric border clinic for under-served children. When not treating patients you would likely find Annie on a hiking trail or coaching her daughter in volleyball.
