Well, Im going to be honest: usually, Im not one to write reviews. However, after five weeks (and counting) of superb, compassionate care, I simply must let the inter-web know about Christian and the folks at Foundation Physical Therapy! Long story short, I viciously fractured my left femur while saving orphan children and various at-risk youth from a burning building in June 2014. After surgeons successfully placed a titanium rod through the injured bone, I was referred to Mr. Compean and Foundation Physical Therapy. Having broken the strongest and "most difficult bone to break" in the human body, my expectations were bleak and unpromising to say the least. My experience began with Tracy, the office manager, on my first day. With the phones incessantly ringing and patients waiting to be checked-in, she stopped what she was doing and happily rushed to the door to help me as I pitifully crutched in. Instantly, I knew I was in the right place. Christian, co-owner and Physical Therapist extraordinaire, is the best thing to happen to my leg since the calf-machine at the gym in eighth grade - he is PHENOMENAL. He actually takes the time to get to know you and genuinely wants you to get better! Unsurprisingly, it reflects in his care. After just four weeks, I went from stepping like a newborn fawn on wintry ice to walking almost 100% pain-free! What caught me off-guard was with what ease and accuracy Christian was able to diagnose the origin of individual nagging pains I experienced in my recovery and how well he educated me on how to prevent them from happening again. The provider is extremely "textbook smart" and has great hands, my friends! I have no doubt that when Im completely finished with my treatment with Christian, Ill actually be stronger and faster than I was pre-injury. If youre looking for a place that exemplifies thorough and complete care, while at the same time makes you feel like actual family as opposed to "just another insurance reimbursement check," I absolutely recommend you visit Tracy, Christian and the gang at Foundation Physical Therapy!

Foundation Physical Therapy was the best decision I ever made. I went in for my first session and Christian pretty much promised me I would get better and he kept to that promise. I had really bad tendinitis and something was wrong with my IT Band. It hurt so bad just to run a short mile. However, we worked twice a week and after every session I saw myself getting better and stronger. I could actually tell the difference. After my 7 sessions, I finally went in for my last one. I had accomplished a goal that we had set. I was able to do this certain exercise without any pain. Many people say "Oh, I hate going to physical therapy!" But not once did I say this about Foundation Physical Therapy. I loved going. Christian and Dani were two of the coolest people I have ever met in my life. They make you feel like yourself while you are there and they are always encouraging you to do better. Christian told me I could not run for a couple of weeks. I had about 2 sessions left and I was feeling pretty good. I felt back to the way I was before I had gotten hurt. So I decided to do something without telling him. (He still doesnt know). Christian, When I went up to Baylor, my coach thought I was ready to run. So I told myself I was ready. I went out there and ran my first cross country race. It was exactly 2 miles and I ended up finishing 18th out of 161 girls with a time of 15:28. (I hope you arent mad! Haha) I honestly could of not had done it without the help from Christian and Dani. I seriously recommend Foundation Physical Therapy. You will not regret it! I am back up and running and feeling better than ever. Much thanks to these two outstanding people!

Wow & Thank you to Christian and all the staff at Foundation Physical Therapy. I broke my right ankle in 2008. Everything was fine until about 2012. I battled plantar fasciitis in my right foot for 3.5 years before I came to Foundation. I had done some PT previously at another place which did not help. I found out from Christian, the problem was not in my foot/ankle. The problem was a weak hip. This caused my foot to over compensate for the hip. I was blown away by Christians knowledge of the human body and putting that together. Every where else that I had been focused solely on the foot/ankle. Nobody ever thought to think there was another issue. I was also amazed when I would listen to Christian with other patients. He is mechanic of the human body. He is amazing. As Christian and I visited, everything he said made sense and I connected to the way I had been moving the last 3.5 years. Since August of 2015 Christian and staff have been working with me to get strength back in hip and also to get back flexibility that I have lost from the trauma in the foot/ankle. Every week Christian would give me new exercises to work on and I would do exercises and stretching at home. I could really feel my hip burning from all the exercises, so I knew we were on the right path. I have finished with PT at Foundation. I am going to continue to maintain and improve with exercises at home. Christian is very easy going. He knows the human body. If you will work with him and do what he recommends, he can get you back to doing the activities you want to do to live a full life. Ryan Sauer Fredericksburg, TX

If you are in need of physical therapy, Foundation is the place to go!! Christian and his staff were recommended to me by my friend, Jonna, who has the running store next door. I had injured myself running a couple weeks prior, but thought it would just work itself out. She took me over to meet Christian and I instantly felt more at ease. Upon his recommendation, I made an appointment with the sports medicine doctor. The physicians diagnosis was a lateral tear in my meniscus. The plan was to try and rehab it to avoid surgery. I went back to Christian and had a full evaluation. We started with therapy 2x per week for the first 6 weeks. I learned quickly that Christian is extremely knowledgable and very compassionate. He listens to what your concerns are and tailors your workout for the day and your home exercises to what needs to be addressed. It is amazing the progress you can see and feel even after the first couple weeks. Dani and Paris are also very helpful. They provide so much motivation and can put a smile on your face even when youre having a tough day. And Tracy is exceptional at dealing with the insurance and billing aspect. She always kept the doctors office in line with the orders, submitted my claims immediately to Aetna and knew what I needed to be paying for copays. I ended up doing a full 12 weeks of therapy with a full recovery of my knee. I am back to running 15+ miles a week and am training for my first 1/2 marathon. There is no way I would ever have gotten this far without the help of the staff at Foundation. Thank you!!
