“ The PTs are so helpful, and the staff is always kind and helpful. The hidden gem is the strength training offerings at Austin Manual Therapy. I've been doing 1 on 1 strength training with Phillip. As someone with chronic issues, it's made such a huge difference in long term benefits for me and reduced my chronic pain. Phillip is thoughtful and encouraging. He knows exactly how to balance meeting my body where it is and crafting a workout that helps me make continual progress. ”

“ I’ve been seeing Sarah Jones at Austin Manual Therapy for the past three months for neck muscle guarding caused by whiplash from a concussion, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Sarah is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient. She has a deep understanding of the human body and always took the time to explain what was happening and why we were doing each exercise or treatment. Her positive, calm demeanor made a huge difference during what can be a frustrating recovery process.
I’ve made significant progress and feel stronger and more confident thanks to her care. If you’re looking for thoughtful, skilled, and compassionate physical therapy, Sarah is outstanding. ”

“ First time I've been able to consistently stick with PT exercises. I always look forward to my sessions because I know I will leave with a new target to attain. I think that's all due to Christine's hard work of helping me identify where my body is not functioning at its most optimal level. She's an excellent PT and I highly recommend her for anybody looking to make their body work better for them. ”

“ Can't say enough great things about Austin Manual Therapy, Dr. Roli, and the team. My first visit was thorough and a recovery plan laid out. Follow up visits were great and got me back to running, swimming, lifting, and skateboarding as good as new. Could not have done it without the knowledge and experience from Austin Manual Therapy. It's clear they care about their patients and work hard to get folks back to doing the things they love. If your hurt don't overthink it, let the pros get you fixed up. ”

“ I don't have the words to adequately describe the impact my experience at Austin Manual Therapy has had on my life. On two different occasions over the course of seven years, I suffered catastrophic injuries that could have left me fully or partially disabled, and in each case, the staff at Austin Manual Therapy provided me with post-surgical care and rehabilitation services that enabled me to make a full recovery against very long odds.
Because I recovered, I was able to take a new direction professionally to create a coaching service for men and provide personal assistance to nearly 200 men in 25 countries, as well as to share my work with an international audience of thousands of men and women in books and on media platforms around the world.
None of this could have ever happened had I not received the expert and profoundly effective therapeutic assistance, education, and support provided to me by the staff at Austin Manual Therapy so that I could live a healthy, productive life.
Mine is just one story, but I know that the healing work being done at Austin Manual Therapy ripples out into the world through every patient who's returned to healthy functionality and is able to resume a productive life with family, friends, and whatever work they choose to do to help others. ”

“ I cannot say enough good things about Rolando and Austin Manual Therapy when it comes to TMJ treatment! I had originally gone to Hills Dental Spa, where they told me my jaw would eventually be not open enough for me to be able to eat, and they quoted me tens of thousands of dollars to fix it. I then came across Austin Manual Therapy and they were SUCH a breath of fresh air. I was able to get my appointments covered by insurance, and Roli was amazing. He really knows what he's doing and was able to help me so much. I no longer have jaw locking, pain in the side of my face and ear, limited mobility, or general jaw pain, like I did before coming to this place. Roli gave me very manageable at home exercises and was always able to answer my questions and concerns. It was so reassuring to feel like I could be "fixed" without having to essentially sell my soul. Thank you Roli and Austin Manual Therapy for helping me with my TMJ issues! ”

“ Austin Manual Therapy has a wonderful team! Over the years I have seen Ben Keene and team for lower back in mid back issues and they are quick to give me relief.. Recently, I have been dealing with a nerve impingement that they have been able to give me relief on as well. They also give you exercises to do at home to help you stay ahead of the issues. I have found them to be great listeners and provide both treatment and exercises that address the specific issue. I would not hesitate to get treatment there. They have a great team of skilled therapists! ”

“ Austin Manual Therapy and James Harris and Roli Salinas are true healers. I was there recently for a painful hip that has been difficult to resolve.
James spent time with me assessing, listening very intently, and generously explaining how/what he was assessing, and clear ways forward with my body. It made sense to me. His kindness and reassurance were part of the healing.
He then began making some adjustments to my body which made sense to me and I could feel the difference in a short time. He made clear suggestions for continuing work to resolve my hip pain and a path to return to AMT as needed.
When I left I felt calmer, more able to understand my body, and enthusiastically committed to doing suggested exercises on a daily basis. I had confidence and less pain. I also noticed a feeling of hope as I left! A partnership had been established.
In addition, I want to highlight James' incredible ability to touch and learn; to explain in simple language what is happening and reasons to do some very useful work at home. I would recommend AMT, James, & Roli to anyone, easily.

“ Highly recommend Austin Manual Therapy for any sport injuries you may be having. Both my sons and myself have been seeing Dr. Keene for several years now and couldn’t say enough how much he has helped us get back on the soccer fields quickly and pain-free. Our visit's have always been awesome and both Dr. Keene and staff have always been professional and taken the time to listen and answer any questions we may have without feeling rushed. Highly recommend you give them the opportunity to help you as they have our family. ”
