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."

"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."

Frequently Asked Questons

How is Athletes' Edge different from other physical therapy clinics in Austin?

We specialize exclusively in working with athletes and active adults. Our performance-focused approach means we don't just treat your pain—we optimize your movement for better athletic performance and injury prevention.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients see significant improvements in 6-8 sessions, compared to 12+ at traditional clinics. Our specialized, one-on-one approach typically delivers faster results and better long-term outcomes.

Do you accept insurance?

We operate outside the insurance model to provide higher quality, personalized care without restrictions. This means more one-on-one time, advanced treatment techniques, and ultimately, faster results.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No. Texas allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can book directly with us without a physician referral. This gets you started on recovery sooner.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable athletic clothing that allows for movement assessment and access to the injured area. For lower body injuries, shorts are recommended. For upper body, tank tops or sports bras for women.

How soon can I get an appointment?

We typically have availability within 24-48 hours for new patients. We understand that when you're in pain or sidelined from your sport, every day counts.
