Going to symmetry physical therapy was an amazing experience, and I wish I had gone to see Julie years ago. Ive dealt with debilitating chronic pain for most of my life, and previously I had mostly learned to just cope with it and move on with life. After going to see Julie for something I thought was unrelated, I learned that a great deal of my pain was due to me just having forgotten after so long how a healthy human body is *supposed* to move. I was extremely nervous before my first appointment because I was in so much pain, and I expected that the therapy itself would be substantially worse before anything got better. I was thrilled to discover that with Julies expert precision and attentiveness to feedback from me, most of the work was actually *less* painful and far more effective than anything I had tried to do myself. In just a few appointments I had substantial relief, and the issue was completely resolved in a matter of weeks. But even more than this, I learned so much about how to move, walk, sit, stretch, and even get up out of bed properly that every aspect of my day to day life is now more comfortable than it ever was previously. I even have some days that are completely pain free, which is an absolute blessing!

Julie has been my physical therapist for close to ten years, starting when she was still at a different clinic. When she opened her own clinic, it was a no brainer for me to move along with her. Her attention to detail and hands on approach are unlike any other physical therapist I have visited. She has been instrumental in my recovery from knee and elbow surgery as well as for overall aches and pains along the way. The clinic is full of great equipment, and Julie prescribes exercises that target the affected area and surrounding muscle groups to ensure success. I have been able to return to all of my sports activities thanks to Julie. I highly recommend Symmetry Physical Therapy; there is no other clinic I would go to.

I cant say enough wonderful things about Julie Mankinen and the team at Symmetry Physical Therapy. Several years ago a doctor sent me to Julie for a knee injury, so when my doctor recommended physical therapy last year for a back problem, I knew that Julie was the only PT for me. After a few visits, I told Julie that I felt as if she had released me from an iron straight jacket! My mobility improved tremendously. I really like Julies policy of teaching you exercises that help decrease pain as well as increase strength and mobility. She then sends you home with pictures and descriptions of those exercises so that you can continue even when you have finished your visits with her.

I highly recommend Julie Mankinen. As a physical therapist, shes the perfect combination of knowledgeable, authoritative, and caring. I actually looked forward to my appointments with her, & always came away feeling better. She also sends you an email with the home exercises shes given you, complete with illustrations (& videos!) in case youve forgotten how the heck that exercise was supposed to go. I felt markedly better after a few times, & all healed by the end of my treatment with her. She is a joy to work with. Dawn, Julies assistant, is very helpful & professional, as well as fun to talk with. Their office was about 9 miles from my home, & well worth every inch of the trek!

I have seen Julie Mankinen several times over the years for different injuries, mostly due to sports. She has always been a great help to me. I have seen many Physical Therapists in my life but never one as good as Julie. She always seems to understand exactly what my problems are and she know exactly what to do to fix them. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very easy to talk to. She will always tell you what she thinks and takes the time to explain things to you. She has a great "bedside manner". I highly recommend Julie to you. Jim

I would highly recommend Symmetry to anyone who needs therapy. There staff is very helpful from the minute you walk in the door. Scheduling is easy and they coordinate with your insurance. I have done physical therapy before and found them to be less than helpful. This place is different, Julie and Matt are hands-on and developing exercises and a routine that will help make you feel better and give you long-term success. If you want a more personal touch with your physical therapy than this is the place to go.

I was sent to referred to symmetry by a friend and couldnt be happier. I am a rock climber and had been putting off treating a wrist injury, and finally went to a doctor who put me in a brace. I had to stop all climbing for two weeks, which stopped the pain, but didnt really seem to fix the underlying issue. Lily, a fellow climber and physical therapist at Symmetry fixed that. With a few exercises and some discipline I was back on the wall pain free in a matter of weeks.

Dr. Lily Swann is definitely one of the best things about Symmetry PT.   As an accomplished athlete herself, she related very well to me and my running injuries.  She successfully helped me recover and will get me to my next marathon date.  Lily is also great to work with!  For any runners out there that might need help w/ pain & injuries, I highly recommend Dr. Lily Swann! They are indeed professionals at Symmetry PT.

Julie at Symmetry Physical Therapy is brilliant!! She is so skilled at identifying lazy or injured muscle movement patterns and fixing them! She helps to carve out a plan of action (i.e. exercises, stretches, etc) to keep your body aligned and work on moving efficiently and pain free! She understands competitive exercisers and can speak to your movement goals. She ROCKS!

Im a climber and had a neck/upper-trap injury. I ended up getting in contact with Lily at Symmetry, worked with her for about 3 months, and am basically back to full power and mobility. If youre a climber looking to recover shes who you wanna see. Super-knowledgeable and an excellent listener, with first-hand climbing experience. Highly recommended : )

The therapists and staff at Symmetry Physical Therapy are the very best. Everything they do implies they are truly listening to me and are genuinely committed to my daily health and success as a weekend warrior. They are brilliant and creative and will get down on the mat with you if that is what it takes to find a solution.

Lily Swann, PT, DPT at Symmetry PT Austin is an awesome therapist. She gave me personalized and effective treatment for some miserable, lingering pain. Im no longer in pain and feel so good - thanks to the expert! The clinic is clean and run very well and even had some later appointments. Thanks to Lily for resolving my pain!
