Still in Pain After Trying Everything Else?
-
Generic Treatment, Zero Results
You were handed a sheet of exercises and shuffled through 20-minute appointments shared with other patients. Nobody actually looked at why you're in pain — just where.
-
Insurance Calling the Shots
Your care got cut off before you were ready, or you were told to rest when what you really needed was a smarter plan. Insurance timelines don't match your recovery timeline.
-
Life Is on Hold
You've stopped running, skipped the gym, or pulled back from the things you love. The longer it goes on, the harder it feels to imagine getting back to full strength.
Why Austin Chooses Eastside for Orthopedic PT
Eastside Movement Company is a cash-based, out-of-network orthopedic physical therapy clinic built for people who want real answers and lasting results. Every visit is a full 60–75 minutes, one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy — someone who treats the root cause, not just the symptom. We combine manual therapy, dry needling, gait analysis, and individualized strength training into a plan that fits your life and your goals.
One-on-one, 60–75 min sessions with your Doctor of PT — every single visit, no exceptions
Whole-body evaluation that uncovers the true root cause of your pain, not just the location
Individualized programs blending manual therapy, dry needling, and performance training — built around your goals, not insurance limits
Real Results. Real People.
"When I started, I couldn't walk half a mile without pain. Within six weeks, I was cycling and walking pain-free. What stood out most was how well she listened — she took the time to understand what was going on, explain what my body was doing, and teach me how to move more intentionally instead of just giving me generic exercises."

"My experience with PT at Eastside Movement, and specifically with Dr. Emily Tran, has been nothing short of amazing! I began working with Dr. Emily Tran due to ongoing achilles pain while I was training for a 1/2 marathon. She is incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent, and throughout my recovery she took the time to educate me, involve me in the process, and help me truly understand my body."

"Erin Kelly is an amazing physical therapist. In my 20s and 30s, I've beat up my body with endurance races and assumed time and rest would resolve all problems. It wasn't until I started sessions with Erin that she made such immense progress with only a few sessions. I found Erin to be more knowledgeable with practical exercises than the 2 podiatrists I've seen."

"I had crippling back pain for two decades and got to a point where I couldn't walk more than twenty minutes without pain. I started seeing Amy and for the first time felt hope that I could live without pain. Amy gave me the tools, resources, and education to get my body back. I completed my first triathlon this year pain free thanks to my work with Eastside Movement."

Questions? We've Got Answers.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a cash-based, out-of-network practice — which means your care is guided by your goals, not insurance restrictions. We provide superbills after each session so you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We're happy to walk you through costs on a free 15-minute phone consult before you commit to anything.
What can I expect from my first visit?
Your first session is a full 60–75 minute, one-on-one evaluation with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. We'll take a deep dive into your history, assess your movement and function head to toe, explain what we're finding in plain language, and leave you with the beginning of a plan tailored specifically to you. No shared appointments, no assistants — just you and your PT.
