Austin – Far West – Texas Physical Therapy Specialists

Paige and Jazz give Texas PTS 5 stars for being amazing

I don’t love getting injured, but I do love that TPTS is always there for me when I do. Everyone I have worked with has been a true pro. They also have the nicest staff who are super helpful and fun to interact with. I highly recommend them if you need PT.

The team is outstanding! I’m glad

They have awesome staff. I highly recommend this PT clinic.

Jocelyn Harte and the entire staff at the Far West location did a great job helping me work through problems with my back, knees, and hand. I recommend them highly!

Every one of the employees are very friendly and there are laughs to share .

Everyone there is so nice!

Thankful for Dr. Steel. He helped me rehab my ankle and I was able to complete my triathlon! All staff was super nice too!

I had surgery to repair a rotator cuff & bicep tear. The surgeon made it clear that surgery was only the first step in recovery and P.T. is the second. The first day at P.T. I was assigned to a wonderful lady, Dr. Kara L. PT, DPT Two weeks prior to P.T. i over used my arm, as men do and it was hurting bad. I had a feeling that the Dr. was going to tell me, “you have pulled stitches or screws out and you will need to have surgery again.” (That’s what I was thinking going in!) But Dr. Kara went through her evaluation and by the time we got to the end my arm was feeling better. The first time in two weeks. I was so happy and relieved especially when she said, “no surgery will be required.” The facility is clean and in order. All of the employees were kind, considerate and very professional. They consistently keep an eye on there patients making sure they are doing the exercises properly and if they need anything. Over all it was great experience. The building was easy to get to, and there was plenty of parking. Vincent

I cannot say enough good things about Texas Physical Therapy Specialists. I went to the location off Far West. My PT was Jocelyn (although they are all fabulous). I went to PT for my ankle and quadricep, and my recovery was complicated by some other factors. Jocelyn took into account my whole situation when creating my PT plan. At every session she assessed my progress and amended my plan as necessary. Thanks to her diligent attention and care, I completed my PT course 100% -- and even progressed beyond our original goals. If you are looking for a physical therapist, I HIGHLY recommend Texas Physical Therapy Specialists.

Tore my right rotator cuff in August 2024. Opted to NOT have surgery and instead went the PT route. Started at TXPTS in October 2024 and after 50 visits I can report that I'm 98 percent healed. This is up from the 20-30 percent of normal strength and range-of-motion that I had when I was originally evaluated. This was my first experience of going through a PT regimen for an injury, so I don't have a personal point of comparison with "other" clinics or therapists. I can say however that ALL of the staff at TXPTS Far West are friendly, up-beat, encouraging, knowledgeable, and seem to be genuinely interested in the welfare, health, and positive outcomes of their patients. Trebor "TJ" Steel was my therapist and it was a joy to work with him. He is funny and earnest and an absolute master of the shoulder - he has successfully treated thousands of rotator cuff injuries over his career and it shows. The facility itself is clean, well organized, and well equipped; and the staff works hard to keep the atmosphere fun and lively (well, about as fun and lively as possible when dealing with a bunch of grumpy and whiney injured people.) Overall the experience was very positive and I would not hesitate for a second to offer my highest recommendation of TXPTS Far West to anyone needing physical rehabilitation for an injury. I hope that I never need PT again, but if I do, at least now I know where to go. Thank you TJ and thank you TXPTS!

TJ Steel at Texas Physical Therapy saved my life (at least as I had been living it for the past 76 years). I have lived in my house for almost 35 years— all bedrooms are upstairs. Several months ago I pulled my hamstring, which made navigating the stairs nearly impossible. I thought I would have to move. After two months of working with TJ, I was back to my old (literally) self and was able to put off old folks home for a few more years. Yippee!

Dr. Kara Lydzinski is such an awesome PT! She helped me with my elbow knee and hip stability issues and got back to running at 51 yrs old!

Jocelyn is very knowledgeable, and so reassuring! Fantastic doctor!! Highly recommend! I went in for arthritis in my neck and now we’re working on my knees. Both instances, I’ve see improvement right away.

Excellent staff. Great results. Thank you so very much.

Dr. Harte was very knowledgeable, professional and fun to work with. She made sure I pushed myself, but never more than I could handle. My progress was consistent and got me back to where I should be.
All the techs were great, and Brandon was great to talk to and so helpful with my insurance.
Great team overall!

Jocelyn
n is excellent! Good directions and very competent!!

Taylor is awesome 😎 my son hurt his shoulder and she brought him back to life. She made it fun and cool for my son. Taylor thank you!

Jocelyn was a great therapist! She got my ankle healed so I could run again- just in time for Texas summer 😅. The whole staff made the experience fun and pleasant way to spend an hour

Taylor was so great with me. Thanks!

I recently developed damage to my right knee, developed sciatica and was in great pain. Multiple doctors wanted to send me to physical therapy. I requested that I return to texas physical therapy specialist because I had such a good experience with them about two years ago. I'm doing exercises that are so appropriate for the weakness that i've developed in my body and foster strength in those areas so that I can avoid more pain. I requested Dr.
Taylor Kotzo because she was so amazing the last time. I'm already feeling hopeful and encouraged about being able to get strong again.

Taylor was fantastic. She really helped preparing me for my hip replacement surgery and assisted in post operative recovery. Everyone there was friendly, helpful and engaging! I would100% recommend this office and staff to anyone.

I highly recommend Texas Physical Therapy at Far West. I had excruciating pain in neck and shoulders due to herniate discs. I appreciate Kara Lydzinski's clear explanation of what it meant having herniate discs, her expert examination and discussing with me an exercise plan to manage the sources of pain. The team is great and prompt to have you working for your own benefit. Thanks Kara and all at Texas Physical Therapy Specialists at Far West.

I feel I need to share my sincere admiration for the extraordinary care that Dr .Taylor Kotzo provided during my treatment following a devastating auto accident that left me severely sore and in agony . Her impressive knowledge and meticulous approach were truly uplifting, and she took the time to explain every detail of my care . As a dedicated therapist , Dr. Kotzo demonstrated unwavering compassion and commitment to my well being , particularly one morning when I woke up with unbearable pain and burning in my left shoulder . Dr. Kotzo and her assistant worked synergistically to address the affected area , and by the end of the session, the burning sensation had ceased and the nerve was functioning normally again. She also provided me with personalized exercises to continue at home .which I was profoundly grateful for . Her kindness and ability to alleviate my pain will never be forgotten . Dr . Taylor Kotzo is, without a doubt , the most exceptional physical therapist I had ever had the pleasure of meeting . Thank you, Taylor , for your unwavering dedication to my rehabilitation.

I have really appreciated my positive experience with TX PT FarWest. Joce is a smart, kind, and patient Physical Therapist. The front desk staff and assistants are always friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend TX PT to anyone in need of PT services.

Everyone from the receptionist to the therapist to the others were very friendly and helpful

I received services during my pregnancy to relieve hip and back pain. Staff was incredibly nice and my physical therapist, Taylor, was efficient in picking the right exercises for me during a moderately difficult time. It helped my physical wellbeing tremendously. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thanks Taylor!!
