Austin’s Best Concierge Physical Therapy and Performance Rehab
Stay Active. Stay You.
Being active isn’t just what you do—it’s who you are. So when pain or injury gets in the way, it’s more than a physical setback—it’s a disruption to your entire lifestyle. Whether it's your daily workout, weekend competition, or simply staying on the move, being sidelined can leave you feeling stuck and frustrated. At Stride PT & Performance Austin, we understand how important it is to keep doing what you love. Our approach goes beyond rest and restriction—we focus on performance-based recovery that’s built around your goals. You don’t have to slow down. You just need the right path forward. Let’s get you moving again.
Your Customized Plan
Discover
We start with a full-body assessment to uncover the root cause of your issue—not just where it hurts. By analyzing posture, mobility, strength, and movement patterns, we identify what’s truly limiting your performance or causing pain.
Using targeted hands-on therapy and movement retraining, we restore proper function and reduce pain. From there, we guide you in building efficient movement patterns that support scaling back into training, sport, or daily life with confidence.
Unlock
With a clear plan in place, we help you not only stay pain-free—but reach higher levels of performance. You'll gain the tools, knowledge, and confidence to push your goals forward, train smarter, and continue progressing well beyond rehab.
