Hear From Austin Athletes Who've Recovered at Athletes' Edge

"As a former NFL player with a career-ending injury, I can confidently say that this has been the best physical therapy clinic I've ever attended. Over the past six months, I've been working with Trax, and they've helped me make tremendous strides in my foot rehabilitation, overall health, and stretch therapy. My body feels better today than it did five years ago, and l am extremely grateful for their team's support in achieving this progress. Highly recommend!"

Joseph Cheek

"The epitome of what you think physical therapy should be like. Personal, Tailored, Attentive 1x1 care to help you, BE YOU again! l've gone to many PTs and was always dissatisfied with the attention I was given as I was one of two or even three patients the PT was seeing at the same time. Not here. Here the focus is on you. Even if there's multiple problem areas that are troubling you - they'll diagnose and treat them in the same session!"

Tyler Engalla

"Tore my ACL playing volleyball. Had reconstruction surgery, started seeing Kim Le for PT. Pretty early on I had complications that she was able to diagnose and advocate for me to get a second surgical opinion. She’s genuinely the reason I’m back to playing volleyball again at a higher level than before injury."

Rebekah Murrell

"Fried my knees and had chronic knee pain that was lingering for about a year. Within a few visits Dr. Traxler was able to get me running, jumping, deep squatting again with no knee irritation."

Anthony Bushay

"I had an amazing experience here, and I feel significantly stronger after coming for 6 months. I came in with back pain, barely deadlifting 185, and left comfortably completing sets of 5 at 315. Emily and Justin (Trax) were phenomenal and the customer service was amazing from the start. This office is centered around athletes and actually getting us back to the sports we love, at the capacity we want. It's not just about temporary relief with them and I highly appreciated that. 10/10 recommend them. The approach was comprehensive, and I still do the gym routine I built with them."

Tyler Gaudin

"Athletes' Edge was my saving grace this marathon season to get me across the finish line. Couldn't recommend their team of PTs enough!!"

Madaline Waldron

"I’ve been having lower back pain for years! After working with Laurel for several sessions, I am now pain free and have much better mobility. I’ve gained strength in my lifts and distance in my drives, it has been amazing! Thank you for the awesome job you do."

Gregory Schultz

"I can't recommend Athetes' Edge PT more highly. My therapist helped me get over some severe Achilles Tendonitis. We talked excercises for stengthening, stretching, and mobility recovery. At one point, my tendonitis was so severe, I had to take a full week off from running, but with persistence, I was able to run a Half Marathon in January. Can I give Athletes' Edge 6 stars?!?"

Randy Copeland

"I went to multiple physical therapy places before coming here. This is by far the best and most welcoming pt place of all time. I had a struggle with finding therapists that knew how to treat baseball players and my specific injury. Dr. Traxler improved my arm drastically and we always had a fun time in the process. 5 STARS"

Jackson Hamilton

"When we went to see Dr. Boyd, my 14 year old, athletic son, had decreased flexiblity all around. He had grown quickly and put on muscle. Dr. Boyd prepared a thoughtful plan to help and support my son. The transformation was amazing to see. His ability and overall flexibly soared. Dr. Boyd also set him up to continue his exercises once he was released from PT. He has kept faithful to them, and six months later continues to thrive physically. Thank you."

Do I need a doctor's referral to book an appointment?

No! In Texas, you can schedule directly with us—no referral required up front. This means you can start treatment sooner and get back to your sport faster. If your treatment goes beyond 30 days, we will provide convenient options to obtain a referral order.

What happens during my first visit?

Your initial evaluation includes a comprehensive movement assessment, hands-on examination, and discussion of your goals. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a personalized plan forward. Then you'll get started with any manual therapy or dry needling needed and exercises to begin moving the right direction.

Most athletes notice improvements after just 1-2 sessions. Our specialized approach typically delivers faster results than traditional physical therapy, getting you back to your sport sooner.

Do you work with all types of athletes?

Yes! We help competitive athletes across all sports as well as active adults who want to move better and stay injury-free. We work with every-day fitness enthusiasts to professional and Olympic athletes. Our approach is tailored to your specific activity demands and goals.
