Texas Physical Therapy Specialists

I tore my ACL, LCL, and meniscus. Before having reconstruction surgery I visited Texpts twice.
My second time was so disconcerting that the Friday before my Monday 8am surgery, I frantically phoned Dr. Douglas Elenz, my orthopedic surgeon, to get a proper referral for a better place to go.
My second visit happened as follows: I sat for 30 minutes in the waiting area, before asking the receptionist what the deal was. They had forgotten about me. Then, the person warming me up proceeded to have me doing various exercises that were not safe for how unstable my knee was (ex: side shuffling, karaōke, etc). Thankfully, I had read up on what I was and was not allowed to do, and I questioned her. JD, my physical therapist chimed in at one point. Here’s the problem though: this woman DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT MY INJURY WAS. She had absolutely NO idea if I had already had surgery or not… it was so, unbelievably unprofessional. ACL reconstruction is serious surgery, and this woman’s incompetence could have easily torn my graft had I come back.
Other problems with this place:
— A lesser but equally annoying part about Texpts is that there are always 6 or 7 patients in there at once. — It’s chaos, and not managed properly.
— They don’t see you for the full hour… ever. 35 – 45 min tops. It’s a waste of money.
If you have a real injury and you’re serious about getting better, go somewhere else. I now go to Select Physical Therapy near Trader Joes on beecaves and I feel 100% safe and sure that my injury is truly important and that my progress is happening bi weekly.

I’ve worked with the PT at this clinic for several years. Originally I went in due to a neck injury that was causing my whole side to freeze up at times, and it made it impossible to turn my head. Through diligent work and the amazing dry needling approach, I was pain free within a few months, and entirely mobile. I’ve been back in the last year to overcome plantar fasciitis and Chris was a huge help once again. He’s also taken excellent care of several referrals I’ve sent his way. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Texas Physical Therapy Specialists, Bee Caves location, is an outstanding PT clinic. Chris Stanley is an amazing PT, who is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and obviously has a passion for teaching others about their own body mechanics and really understanding WHY they are in PT. Personally, he has helped me with chronic neck and upper back pain through use of trigger point dry needling, deep tissue massage, skeletal manipulations, and a home exercise program that is easy to incorporate into my daily routine, to keep me from having to go BACK to PT for the same thing! He has recently started working on my jaw and TMJ dysfunction issues. I didn’t even know a PT could do that, and I am seeing steady progress.
His staff is great– they are always very friendly and helpful, and the clinic has a laid back, comfortable, and positive environment.
I highly recommend TPTS for anyone in need of PT of any sort. I even brought my grandmother there– she came in town to visit, even though she was having serious low back pain to the extent that she couldn’t even walk around. After one session with Chris, my grandma and I were shopping the outlet malls the following day!
Thanks TPTS team!

I was first a patient of Chris Stanley’s over three years ago after an accident in which I blew out my knee, tore my rotator cuff and had major lower back issues. I thought I would never be the same. I did a lot of research at the time and found Chris Stanley was highly recommended. Chris not only diagnosed my injuries better than two orthopedic surgeons but after my first few visits I knew I was blessed to have found him and his staff to help get me through this tough rehab. Since that time I have recovered fully and can’t say enough about my experience… I walked away pain free, confident about my body and had tools (exercises) to get my out of pain, if ever needed.
A year ago my sister had a hip replacement and saw Chris after she had healed from surgery and other rehab treatment but couldn’t get out of pain. He successfully treated her with a new type of therapy and our entire family was amazed at the quick results she was getting after only a few treatments.
My 70 year old mother couldn’t drive to Dallas to visit her extended family due to back issues she had been dealing with for years. She not only received amazing results by Chris’s treatments and support from his team but was out of pain and driving to Dallas weekly soon after.
Last spring my teenage son injured himself in a intense select baseball league game and I knew Chris could help him. After only a few weeks he was back on the field feeling pain free and confident. We came in on one of his last treatments and told Chris he had had a skating accident over the weekend and his wrist was painful. Chris did an evaluation and suggested we go get x-​rays. It turned out even after faulty x-​rays that my son’s growth plate had a fracture and if had gone untreated could have caused him irreversible damage. I knew Chris was amazing but his ability to always know how to correctly treat and successfully diagnose injuries in the human body astounds me. I find now that I go out of my way to recommend Chris Stanley to anyone I hear or know that is in pain or has had an injury. I will forever be grateful to Chris for the many blessings he has given me and my family, and feel we would all be pain free and happy if there were more people like Chris Stanley in the world.

I have been going there for about a year when I came in to get popped because I could not turn my neck in either direction fully. Chris went through a run through of test with me and told me that he would not pop me because he thought he would kill me. He then scheduled an MRI and within a hour of getting the results I was scheduled for a Cheri Malformation. I was told that if Chris had not had gotten me an MRI I would of been dead within two months. After surgery I found out that my brain was enlarged, and the bone between my skull and spine was 15 mm… the normal mm is 5. Chris is amazing and easy on the eyes.

UNBELIEVABLY GREAT! You should definitely GO HERE. You should tell everybody you know who has a need for physical therapy to GO HERE!!!
Chris Stanley is incredibly talented and equally committed to his patients’ well being. I walked through the door on Nov 23 2011 with an awful limp, and a ton of pain. Today is December 10 2011 and I am pain free and able to wear my high heels again (WOO HOO!!).
His entire staff, — Jill and Adela — are equally compassionate and supportive. They really, REALLY know their stuff!
I highly recommend this location for caring and complete treatment. I still have a ways to go before I am 100%, however, their great communication skills have me abreast of what I should expect, and what I can do in between sessions to augment my speedy recovery.
This team is truly AMAZING:)
