I have been a massage therapist and bodyworker for 30 years and had some overuse injuries I've been working on for some time. It was neuropathy and the privilege of Medicare that I decided to try PT. I'm so very grateful this office takes Medicare! In my first visit, a quick evaluation of my gait told Dr. Stephen exactly where the issue started and he went right for the problem as I had been working on it. I started making serious progress working with Stephen and now I send my clients to him for care. I also had a great experience with Dr. Andy, who's approach is definitely complimentary, and I also recommend him as a go to for structural issues. Be aware...you might get loved on by a French Bulldog (or two) when you visit! So cute =) read more

I had neuropathy pain with standing to work all day as a hair stylist. I was referred to CORE by a good friend who had success with their Neuropathy program. I was skeptical about using the technology at home but after 2 months of consistent use, my nerve pain was gone. The red light is my favorite and the nerve cream was very helpful. I'm so grateful to no longer have pain in my feet after having it for several years. Thanks so much. read more

Do not recommend Core Therapy and Pilates for PT + Chrio. I came here as a Personal Injury claim after a car crash and although they say they "work with insurance" they most definitely do not. I wish I could have realized their scam from the beginning and truly feel foolish for giving them my credit card info. They had me a on a "payment plan" until insurance paid however they continued to bill me for 4 months after I had stopped treating ($1,000 value). Because the insurance said the value of the services did not match what the services were coded for I had to suffer the consequences. After treating with Core Therapy I am left with more than just the unresolved physical pain of the car crash... I am now recovering from a large financial burden and the emotional burden of being taken advantage of by my doctors. read more

I just started doing Pilates because a friend of mine told me she loved it. Also I have a herniated disc and was told it could help with that. Then I happened to meet my neighbor at a party--Cheryl--the owner of CORE Therapy & Pilates. I usually dislike exercise but force myself to do it. I started taking private pilates lessons with Cheryl and actually looked forward to it! The time went by so fast and I felt great afterwards--even during. My back doesn't hurt as much at all. It's obvious that Cheryl really enjoys what she does and all of the people there have a smile on their face. How rare is that? Employees and customers satisfied--no, actually more than satisfied with their experience. It's a very family friendly environment with Cheryl's 2 dogs there to greet you. I highly recommend CORE Therapy & Pilates! PS They also have physical therapy with Cheryl's husband Stephen. A great team! Highly recommend! read more

I am so happy that I found CORE Therapy & Pilates to help me with my back pain. I drove 24 hours from California to Texas and stirred up my back pain along the way. I saw Dr Claire Watkins for physical therapy and she was so helpful. She used hands on techniques, dry needling, corrective exercises and Pilates exercises on the Pilates reformer. With the physical therapy from CORE Therapy & Pilates, I was able to sit, bend forward and lift weights again without back pain. I'm so glad I found the physical therapy team at CORE and I highly recommend them to help tooth your back pain read more

Core Therapy is an entirely different kind of PT than anything I have experienced before! I really, really appreciate the individual attention and the ability to talk to Dr Andy during each session. Thank you for the personal care!!! read more

I've been a client at Core for 8-10 years after starting with Stephen. He helped me with some physical difficulties related to poor posture, age and mild scoliosis. Now I'm rarely a PT patient but am definitely a regular class attendee. Through the years, I've had some private trainer appointments, some gyrotonics classes and always a regular pilates client. I love their Pilates reformer classes. With the onset of the pandemic, Cheryl started teaching a gyrokenesis class on Wednesday mornings online. For only $20, I can work out and get moving in my own home. I really do appreciate this offering. With gratitude for Stephen, Cheryl and all their trainers, I feel taller, straighter, stronger and more tuned in to the needs of my physical body. read more

A last minute tuesday evening reformer session with Brandi was one of the most therapeutic hours I've spent in a long time. A small studio of very very very qualified physiotherapists and Pilates teachers - they focus on rehabilitation and improving form and movement gently and expertly. Three Pilates reformers and the same number of gyrotonic method systems mean classes are small and very personally tailored. Group classes (as I took) and privates available. They are on classpass but they fill up super quickly. Pilates here will absolutely put you back in touch your body - I'm super happy to have them as part of my routine now - and I would beeline here immediately if I needed any sort of rehabilitation - their attitude expertise and experience are unrivalled in Austin. read more

Core Therapy and Pilates is the first place I found that not only addressed my lumbar disc injury but got to the root cause of why I was injured! Stephen and his team of physical therapists truly look at the whole body system to address your pain. I wish so much that I had started with Core at the very beginning of my back injury. Learning The Pilates and Gyrotonic methods have been life changing. Stephen and Cheryl have developed a unique combination to heal those of us with injuries by combining physical therapy and pilates. I don't know of any place in Austin that does this with their clients. The therapists and trainers work as a team to get their clients healing and results! read more

On 2 occasions I have needed Stephen and Cheryl for physical therapy and they are amazing. Stephen, who I say has magic hands, worked on getting my body back in order while Cheryl strengthened it so it would stay healthy and pain-free. They are a perfect team and recommend them to anyone looking for physical therapy and/or Pilates and Gyrotonic. read more

After 2 years in extreme back pain, 11 months of which in a wheelchair. I am now off all pain meds, walking and feeling great all thanks to Core Therapy and Pilates. Stephen and Susan have given me back my life! Thank you Core Therapy, Richard read more

As a doctor of Chiropractic I am always searching for good adjuncts to help keep myself and my patients well. Core is by far one of the best physical therapy clinics in Austin. They are the first clinic I refer my patients to. Stephen and Julia are amazing. They provide excellent patient care with wonderful results. Additionally Core provides great group and private Pilates and Gyrotonics classes for maintaining health and wellness. I have been working with Julie Fields (Pilates instructor) for several months and if I could kidnap her I would! She is truly an amazing person as well as the best Pilates instructor I have ever had. She is extremely detailed, passionate and she makes each workout challenging and fun. Go try out Core. You will be extremely happy that you did! read more

I have been working with the team at Core for 3 years. In fact my sister and mother also work with the Core team. This was one of the first personal services I re-started this summer. Their attention to safety protocols, including take temperatures, social distancing, offering private sessions as well as group sessions (with distancing) is amazing. The dedication of the team to helping clients overcome physical challenges such as back, neck and other types of pain is incredible. Additionally, I know my immune system is also benefitting from my treatments. These days there are a lot of personal service businesses that vary in their dedication to safety.....CORE doesn't! read more

I came in after struggling with a herniated disk for over two moths. I was in incredible pain and having trouble walking, sitting, sleeping, etc. Dr.Danny has been immensely helpful in my recovery. By working with one doctor, I was able to get individual help curated to my needs and pain. Each session was spent working specifically on my pain points, working on my flexibility, and strengthening to improve support around my injury. I have left the office every time feeling much better than when I came in. Dr.Danny has been a pleasure to work with! He listens carefully and is very attentive to any needs I have. He is incredibly knowledgeable, a great listener, and is very dedicated to improving his patient's quality of life. After coming to Core therapy for about a month, my abilities have greatly improved. I am finally able to return to my everyday activities and feel improvement with each day in the office and with my at-home workouts. The staff is small and friendly, the office feels very much like a little family with the cutest two dogs that roam around! Thank you CORE therapy for all your help. read more

Thank god for back injuries. About ten years of figure skating , eight years of martial arts and (currently) long-distance triathlon - and I never had core muscles. My middle muscles were squishy and I just couldn't seem to improve sport-wise. So along comes this debilitating back injury. I couldn't even stand or sit comfortably, not to mention train or race. But now, whoo boy, now. I'm having a killer racing season and I'm on my way to a six pack. These guys rock. They all bring something different to the table. I had written Pilates off as some Madonna-esque celeb thing. But the back injury that is no more tells me differently. Try the Gyrotonics, too, for a frickin' badass core. These guys are a.w.e.s.o.m.e. (And they have a white boxer named Lucky who comes to greet everyone who comes to the door and is easily bribed with cookies.) read more

Here are my 2 cents - STAY AWAY! The staff here can be unprofessional and inappropriate at times. 1 instructor is the exception - Montserrat. She actually has integrity...and is very competent in the pilates method. read more

After years of back pain and during the worst bout I'd had so far, I finally got x-rays done and found out that I have very extreme degenerative disc disease in the lower lumbar region of my back. In addition, I have bone spurs. I have always been very active but was having a hard time just getting out of bed in the morning and going about daily activities (normal bending, sitting, standing) much less exercise. Upon the recommendation of my sister, I started getting physical therapy at Core Therapy and Pilates almost two months ago. I have to say that this place and all of the staff are spectacular and they've changed my life for the better. I had a break through with my back several weeks ago and have been able to get back into my regular exercise routine. I credit the help of these amazing people: Stephen, Cheryl, Tom, Susan and Monserrat (spelling). I have not yet had the good fortune of working with everyone but it is evident from those that I've worked with that they are a highly skilled, caring and friendly group. I have learned immensely from every person I've worked with. Gena, the office manager, is also very friendly, skilled, helpful and accommodating. I look forward to graduating from physical therapy so that I can try their Pilates and Gyrotonic classes. I'm certain that they will be as fantastic as the care I've received so far. There is a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere at Core. One gets the impression that all of the staff truly like each other and get along. I also have to note that the physical therapy I received at Core has been a huge contrast from the initial physical therapy I got at A.R.C. At A.R.C. (where my doctor originally referred me), all the PT did was give me exercises to do and watch me do them. I feel like Core really tailors a program to suit your needs and it's much more sophisticated. In addition, the staff are far more knowledgeable and savvy. I think there must be something to be said about integrating Pilates principals in physical therapy. It has certainly been effective. If you have any kind of body pain and require physical therapy or are interested in doing Pilates, RUN don't walk to Core. read more
