“I had a great experience at Releaseology – Physical Therapy with Sara. After just one session, I noticed about 30% relief in my tailbone pain as well as improvement with my low back disc issues. What really stood out was her non-traditional approach to physical therapy—it felt very personalized and focused on getting real results rather than just following a routine. I’m encouraged by the progress so far and looking forward to continuing treatment. I would highly recommend going to Sara for your personalized healing.”

“As a fellow NKT therapist, I knew immediately upon my first visit with Sara that I trusted her expertise and that I was in good hands (no pun intended). She quickly discovered compensation patterns that were directly related to my hip/low back pain. Within a few sessions, I was moving better and pain decreased significantly. It was also my first experience with dry needling. She has many tools in her toolbox to tailor treatment specifically to your condition. Scheduling was easy and I was able to schedule last minute which was much appreciated given the amount of pain I was experiencing. I was also very happy that she accepted HSA for payment. As a Tempe resident, I am pleased to support her local business. I highly recommend Sara and Releaseology!”

About Sara Becker
I am not contracted with insurance companies; your appointment will be $150.00. Contact me with any questions or to discuss a discount.
During our sessions, you will receive true one-on-one care with hands-on manual treatment.
My biggest passions in addressing your pain and dysfunction are Dry Needling and Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT). I have been needling since 2013 and practice on myself so that I understand how it feels to my clients. Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) has completely turned me on my head and changed the way I practice, as it looks at each muscle’s ability to engage and determines which ones are underactive and which are overactive, causing pain. It can do so in a shorter amount of time than previous treatments I have used. With that said, because of my training, your treatment can include any variation of dry needling, NKT, joint mobilizations, stretch therapy, mobilizations with movement, massage (cross-friction, trigger point, and more), dynamic cupping, and stretching (PNF, contract-relax, and more).
I can treat several conditions, including arthritis, balance issues, breathing (diaphragm work), cancer, cerebral palsy, fractures, instability, muscle weakness, cramps, osteoarthritis, pain (chronic and acute), Parkinson’s Disease, phantom limb pain, poor posture, radiculopathy, spasms and spasticity, spinal cord injury, stiffness, stroke, tendonitis/tendinitis, and more.
Some of my certifications include Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT), Certified Stroke Rehab Specialist (CSRS), Certified in Integrative Dry Needling, PNF, Interdisciplinary Approach in Concussion Management, Mulligan - Mobilizations with Movement, and Functional Soft Tissue Transformation.
I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy from A.T. Still University.
What I love most about Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) is that I can achieve results that many other practitioners can’t.

Sara is amazing! I have been at the Chiropractor once a month my entire life for "maintenance" and back pain. One day it became so unbearable I needed extra help. Sara got me in same day as I could not move without being in pain, and by the end of the appointment, I was astronomically better. I have continued to do the exercises and homework she prescribed and have been pain free, and in fact 100x better overall, for months without my usual chiropractic help! Highly recommend Sara!

I have health issues I have not been able to figure out for a few months. My daughter told me Sarah has been working on her vagus nerve & she has seen major improvement with her health. So, because I do not trust mainstream healthcare AT ALL, I thought I would give it a shot. To say how impressed I am w/ Sarah is a huge understatement. She is incredibly knowledgeable, insightful, helpful, & has an incredible uplifting personality. She successfully figured out why my body is reacting the way it is,& after a couple sessions, I am feeling much better. She has an extensive background working in mainstream healthcare, but after so many years of doing it & analyzing things, she realized the techniques she was taught to heal people, was not working..AT ALL. She decided to dig deeper & really get to the cause of our problems & not put a big ole damn expensive bandaid on it! Love her! Check her out ONLY IF you want to get to the root cause of your problems & away from the mainstream bandaids!

As a physical therapist who found myself on the other side of care, I was very impressed by Dr. Sara’s thorough Releaseology approach to treating both my neck and chronic hip pain. She was prompt with my home exercise program (including easy to follow videos) and follow up regarding my symptoms which improved immediately and disappeared within a few weeks. The clinic is clean, comfortable and has relaxing decor. Dr. Sara is knowledgable, experienced and genuinely invested in the recovery of her patients and I highly recommend her.

Sara is incredible! She consistently exceeds expectations and takes the time to truly understand your concerns. Thanks to her expertise with NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT), she was able to pinpoint the root causes of my pain—including a pulled hamstring and issues with my pelvic ligaments. Her treatments with NKT, dry needling, and cupping, have not only brought significant relief but also restored my ability to play tennis comfortably. I always leave feeling deeply cared for and grateful for her skill and dedication to help me get back into tennis with no issues!

I wish there were more stars to give!!! I am a retired massage therapist of 25 years, and that kind of work leaves a lot of boo boos behind for the practitioner. I can honestly say that my pain level is down 90% since starting treatments with Sara! She has a bag of tricks like I've never seen before, and she has unraveled a lot of my old stuff too. Each session is completely customized to meet you where you are at, and she gets to the root cause of your pain and dysfunction pretty quickly and efficiently. I could go on and on, but instead of wasting time reading more, just book your appointment with Sara. You'll thank me later!!

Sara's expertise in Neuro Physical Therapy coupled with her practice of NKT is a rare find. I highly recommend Sara for anyone with Neuro deficits, muscle weakness, pain and gait issues. I suffered paralysis of my left leg, glute and hip from Neuro invasive meningitis caused by West Nile virus. Sara has been instrumental in helping me transition from a wheelchair to walking on my own. She has put many of the puzzle pieces together that no one else could.

I began working with Sara as I was starting the healing process from my 3rd spinal laminectomy. This one was performed on each level of my whole lumbar spine. I was experiencing some neuropathy, leg weakness, a boatload of pain and, naturally, trouble just ambulating with walking aids. Here's what's great about Sara: she knows her stuff. She knows how to help with each of the aforementioned issues. She takes the time/energy to stay current in her field of expertise and can quite readily explain all that she does and what you may experience in terms that make sense and are totally relatable. Sara has an effervescent personality and connects well with all sorts of people. You can tell that she's caring, empathetic and smart as a whip. That's just what you want in a PT when you feel broken and in pain. Since I've been working with her, she has helped me to transform my life in a thousand little ways and a few big ways too. I still have a ways to go.

I have had pain in my hip/groin area since my daughter was born via c-section in 2017. I’ve been to numerous practitioners, and the pain was still there. I went to Dr Becker, and with her help the pain is pretty much nonexistent! She’s also been helping my with some old neck trauma as well. Try her before you keep going down the same old paths!!

Sara treated me for my right arm pain, and she and a colleague worked on my low back pain too....amazing how they were able to find the source of my pain in both areas. They left me with some exercises for maintenance. The knowledge of the triggers was invaluable as I now know what to try if ever the pain recurs, at least on my arm, before I make a follow up appointment. My back is a more complex situation so I would definitely see Sara again if the pain recurs.

Sara is an outstanding professional who has helped me by identifying two causes of my back pain. She is knowledgeable and so caring in working with her patients. I’m especially happy with the tools she provided so that I can prevent/address any possible future pain. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Sara is very talented, professional, and knowledgeable. She is able to connect w/ you on a personal level all while providing exceptional care and a comprehensive approach to address your pain/needs. As a patient, being able to get into your therapist in a timely manner is key; Sara is very flexible and able to schedule you in when you need her. I love that with her practice there is no misplaced motivation to keep you seeing her 3x/wk for however many weeks and seeing several patients at a time as in a traditional therapy clinic; in the time she is treating you, she is solely focus on you with the goal to get you where you want to be in the quickest way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Sara!
