I needed PT on my left shoulder because of an injury I received many years ago. Nicole Zimmerman was extremely educated and treated my injury with multiple exercises designed to address my injury. Soon I'm going to have to have PT for my balance and she's the one I want for this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone there was professional and there was a relaxed atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much Spero PT and especially Nicole. Mark Garner read more

I have been going to Spero for the last couple weeks to rehab a shoulder injury that I picked up at the gym. The facilities are great, but the real strength of Spero is its team. Indigo is a fantastic PT who not only does great work, but she does a great job explaining the biomechanics of what's happening, where the pain comes from, how to mitigate it, and how we're going to fix it. My shoulder is feeling much stronger and the pain is nearly completely gone. read more

I worked with Indigo for a short course of physical therapy (six sessions), and the quality of care made a lasting impression. She was exceptionally thoughtful, educative, and respectful, with a real ability to personalize care. She distinguished between structural differences and issues that actually needed intervention, rather than assuming everything required correction, and adjusted the plan to fit my capacity. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She explained the reasoning behind exercises clearly, welcomed detailed questions, and stayed present even when things weren't straightforward for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When something was harder to visually assess, she was honest about what she could and couldn't see and relied on my feedback rather than guessing or defaulting to assumptions. The result was a plan that felt collaborative, realistic, and genuinely engaging. I'm still doing the exercises daily weeks later on my own because they were so well-tailored and well-taught. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for individualized, thoughtful PT care grounded in real partnership. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also want to recognize the front office coordinator, Chris, for her consistent kindness and support.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was responsive, informative, and went out of her way to help me navigate logistics and options, which made the experience feel genuinely supportive from start to finish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, Spero Rehab - South Austin was an inclusive, supportive and positive starting point in my rehab process after an unexpected knee injury, and I'm grateful for the care I received there. read more

The best and perhaps the very best rehab program, trainers and equipment in Austin. And I can compare with four others I have used here. The Staff is educated, enthusiastic, positive...but they are also tough unlike most rehab places that are more like a genteel gym. Consequently they get results. Kudos to Stephanie and Sarah read more

Spero Rehab - South Austin - Located on Guadalupe Street - Physical Therapy Near Me - Austin, Texas

Spero Rehab has played a huge part of the success of living with Parkinson's (PD) for me. Its environment is friendly, positive, supportive, genuinely caring and professional. The culture is inclusive and harmonious among the PTs and the patients. THIS is a place where one can do PT for whatever ails h/her while being entertained listening in on various conversations about many things by everybody! Some really hilarious. Try counting your reps/sets while laughing your head off! For out-patient PT rehab I was referred to and chose Spero Rehab at the So Austin location. Ms. Jessica helped me get registered and lined up to work with Cole Stutz, PT, DPT twice per week for his expertise in Neurological issues and Parkinson's Disease. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Aug2017 by a hospital ER team of internists, neurologists and others, and I was in a wheelchair and not walking. I was sent for 2-1/2 weeks of aggressive daily PT, OT, and VT at a Rehab Hospital and actually successfully achieved my PT/OT/VT goals of being able to walk again, take care of myself, dress, bathe, do laundry, and once home to shop for groceries, prepare my meals, to drive, etc !!! My PD Neurologist MD stressed to include exercise in my daily routine. I was provided a prescription for ongoing PT because it was medically necessary. I have been working with Cole since August 2019 for Parkinson's-specific PT‍. After his assessment of my state and condition, and goals, the upshot for PT for me, was to target strength and balance. Once the strength had begun to increase, I also noticed an increase of endurance. For every session that I have with Cole, he has me first warm up. I surprisingly discovered that pumping my body full of oxygen at a steady pace through the lungs and the vascular system, that the oxygenation of my body actually reverses fatigue that I many times arrive with! Within 2-3 minutes on the elliptical system, fatigue is gone ‍ ( bye )! Because the aerobic warm up literally reverses fatigue in minutes, I do not lightly miss any of my PT sessions no matter how awful I feel under fatigue when I come in. My legs might become noodle-y when my 15 min aerobic warmup is completed, but I am CHARGED UP ! The most important factor for PT for me is to specifically do VIGOROUS exercises, an exercise technique newly discovered to notably retard or minimize the PD physical symptoms. I gave Cole permission to have no pity, and keep my PT exercise plan vigorous! HaHa! And, oh has and is he delivering! A later finding surfaced that when one with Parkinsons exercises, still VIGOROUSLY, a bit more than planned or expected, like an extra 5 or 10 minutes, or executing a few more reps , THIS has demonstrated to have a noticeable effect on the COGNITIVE symptoms! So, I invited Cole to surprise me and throw me a curve of doing more reps, doing a new killer exercise or more time on any of the exercises he's designed for that day's PT. Working with Cole for PT in Spero Rehab's environment has been very fruitful, I have noticed ongoing physical improvement in muscular coordination, reflexes, strength and endurance which was previously lost due to the ravages of the PD. I have surprised myself how much my physical condition has greatly improved. PT with Cole 2 times per week are generating great results. For Vestibular therapy, Cole directed me to work with Valerie Benjamin, PT, DPT. She demonstrates a strong affinity for the amazing skill of VT. She has taken me through more advanced VT that strengthes the vestibular system and minimizes parkinson's falls, which are very different than any other type of fall. A Parkinson's fall is a freefall for no reason . Her Application of VT is intuitive. I have Spero Rehab to thank for the great progress through PT/ Dr. Cole and VT/ Dr. Valerie that is occurring in my case. read more

So I started seeing Matthew Elizondo, PT, OCS, SCS, COMT at the spero rehab. Ive been dealing with pain, surgery, shots, chiropractic, airrosti and acupuncture. Nothing has helped the exercises they had me doing was making things worse! So on advice from another PT person that had a grasp of what my issue was, I was told that these people truly could help me. So Ive been 3 times and not one of the people Ive seen have worked on my hips like Matthew. I am so thankful that I took the effort to see one more person as a wheel chair was my future. Miracle!! A god send. Thank you Matthew!! read more

I was in a tremendous amount of pain when I first arrived at Spero Rehab, but thanks to the insightful treatment of Cole and his staffmates, that's all in the past. The friendly environment and attentive care helped me work my way back from a very painful pinched nerve. Cole is awesome and does a great job of listening / checking in at the beginning of the session and adjusting throughout to ensure each exercise is giving help, relief and strength right where it's needed. read more

I am so glad and thankful to have come to Spero after my car accident. Initially, I was not planning to but my friends and family urged that I go see a doctor and get referred to a physical therapist. My close friend who is a physical therapist recommended Spero to me. My PT was Cole and Bri. Cole is incredibly knowledgeable and can answer your questions or concerns in great detail. I appreciate his explanations for why we were doing specific exercises and what his plan was for me. He has even offered to let me record him doing the exercises so I can have that ready for me to reference at home. Bri is incredibly sweet and positive. She brings enthusiastic energy that makes it hard not to enjoy. There have been times where I didn't want to come in due to personal reasons but leave knowing I am glad that I went. Aside from their fantastic physical therapists, I am very appreciative of their hours as I work from 8AM-5PM and have been able to attend every appointment because they were open later than other PT offices. It was also really easy to schedule all my appointments ahead of time and the text reminders were also very helpful. The facility has a place for me to change and modern equipment with plenty of parking. It was bittersweet to be discharged from Spero since I enjoyed my time going to the appointments and chatting with everyone there while going through my PT plan. But I am now back to 100% and able to do what I love and knowing that my injury is not going to hinder me in the future. Thanks so much, Cole and Bri! read more

I'm a very active, 27 year old, female. After getting hit by a car on my motorcycle, I was faced with a broken medial malleolus. I was so upset and felt like I would never get back to my to my million hobbies. I am also a therapist myself, so I was curious who I could find that would actually teach me something I did not already know. Then, I found Matt, and throughout 3-4 months of therapy, he got me back in great shape! I'm now riding again and doing most of my normal workouts. Matt is very thorough, knowledgable, kind and passionate about his job. He took extra time to go over and explain every part of my recovery and taught me SO many things I didn't know. I was and still am so impressed and thankful for finding him. If I ever needed therapy again, I wouldn't think twice about who I would choose! The Spero facility is easily one of the most beautiful rehab facilities I have seen. All new equipment, open floor plans, hug gym, and GREAT therapists. I highlllllllly recommend this team if you're looking to get back on your feet (pun intended) :) read more

I was diagnosed with Jumpers knee/patella tendinitis by an orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon recommended me rest a couple of weeks from any physical activity specifically volleyball. After resting, I went back to playing sports and quickly had my pain come back. I knew I had to do something different. My friend recommended me Spero Rehab since he has been with the physical therapist for so long. Matt, the physical therapist at Spero Rehab, is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me with my knee. My knee has gone from hurting while driving and barely being able to sit at a desk for longer than 30 min to being able to relax in the car (in traffic) and play volleyball again. I would highly recommend anyone with chronic pain to come to Spero Rehab and visit Matt. read more

I recently had a complete knee replacement. I chose Spero Rehab as my rehabilitation facility. It was terrific. All the folks there are very helpful. John was wonderful. He challenged me, but didn't overwork me. Despite a setback due to detached retina surgery, I was discharged from rehab after 3 1/2 months. My knee is doing well. They went out of their way to accommodate my needs. I highly recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy or rehabilitation. read more

If you need advanced physical therapy or care, I highly recommend you go to Spero Rehab. I have known Dr. Matt Elizondo for over 20 years, and he is a physical therapist of the highest quality. He is constantly teaching and learning new techniques to help his patients succeed. The clinic is clean and immaculate, with brand new equipment. I am the owner of VBodies Pilates studio in Mueller Austin, and even though we are across town from each other, Matt has helped several of my members recover after surgeries. Some of his patients have come straight into Pilates after rehab and have done tremendously well in their workouts. read more

I have had 4 major orthopedic surgeries now (3 knee and 1 arm) and been treated by several different physical therapists. I feel very comfortable when being treated by Matt, so much I even followed him from his previous employer to Spero for my most recent surgery! The clinic is very new and I was pleased to see they already had all the equipment and furniture they needed in a clean environment to give me the best treatment possible. I would definitely recommend Matt for anyone needing orthopedic treatment and I have already referred one of my friends to him and he is starting treatment here soon too. read more

If I could I would give it six stars. I had a stroke about seven years ago that affected my right side totally. My right hand, arm, leg and foot were basically useless. Of course, I was also right handed. Various sessions with some very good therapists got me walking and some use of my right arm and hand. Debbie and Lauren are so completely competent and professional that their human side sneaks up on you. They make therapy fun! That and the fact that I am now doing things with my right hand that I could only dream about, all the while not thinking about balance issues. And that is huge! read more
