At Eastside Movement, we help active people in Austin move without pain and get back to the things that make life worth living, whether that's hitting the trails, competing in your sport, cycling through the Hill Country, or simply getting through the day without restriction. Our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy specializes in sports physical therapy in Austin and the full spectrum of orthopedic, running, and pelvic health care that keeps this city moving.

We treat a wide range of conditions, including low back pain and sciatica, knee pain and runner's knee, shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries, hip pain and IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinopathy. We also offer pelvic floor physical therapy for people of any gender dealing with pelvic pain, incontinence, or postpartum recovery.

Every session is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who takes time to understand your history, your movement patterns, and your goals. We combine hands-on manual therapy and dry needling with targeted therapeutic exercise and strength work, and build a plan designed to keep you moving long after you leave our clinic.
Whether you’re logging miles on the trail or clocking hours in the saddle, East Side Movement in Austin has a physical therapy program built for you. Their running physical therapy is designed around the demands of runners—cadence, load management, and strength—while their cycling physical therapy addresses bike fit, hip mechanics, and knee tracking to keep you pedaling pain-free. And when pain does show up, the same one-on-one, hands-on approach applies to shoulder pain, knee pain, and sciatica—so you’re never handed off to a tech or left doing generic exercises without a clear reason why.

The clinic’s whole-body philosophy extends even further, with targeted care for elbow pain that limits your grip or swing, postpartum physical therapy for rebuilding strength and confidence after birth, and ankle pain that lingers long after a sprain. Every session is a full hour of individualized treatment with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy, from the first evaluation through your return to sport and daily life. Because Texas is a direct-access state, you can book without a referral—and with a plan that treats the root cause rather than just the spot that hurts.
