Your Personal Best Physical Therapy

I got SUCH thorough, personalized care from Dhara and Tiffany, I wish I could go every day. They gave me some insight into not only the issue that got me there, but offered some helpful tips to address another, related issue, as well. I can’t say enough about the YPB staff.

My care team of Tim and Tiffany were fantastic. Went in for intense lower back pain that had been going on for years but escalated after 18 months of crossfit. Their unique treatment protocols (fascia!!!) combined with detailed progress assessments have done wonders.
Would be awesome if they had a digital solution for patient education and sharing exercises instead of using those paper handlouts. Something like drawMD :-)

I went in to get some therapy for some elbow tendonitis. Working with Tim and Robin, it was clear these guys are very knowledgeable and addressed much more than just what was happening with my elbows. Tim did a full evaluation and prescribed treatment and exercises to improve my overall posture. I feel the work done here has helped me to prevent a lot of other potential injuries that could have arisen in addition to treating the immediate pain I was experiencing.

I had severe back & neck pain for many years. I have seen a chiropractor & plenty of physical therapists for 2 decades. I recently had neck surgery Nov 2014 and was wondering if I needed to get back surgery as well since it was getting worst. I struggled to walk and it was so painful to get out of my car even for 10 – 15 minute commutes to & from work! I would do at home therapy exercises that I would find online or from previous PTs to help with my back pain. It helped some.
I went to YPB February 2015-​May & worked with Tim Komazec. Tim evaluated me and said he would be able to help me. I was skeptic at first since I’ve heard this many times before with no success. I was in so much pain and had nothing to lose so I followed Tim’s advice & exercise plan. Tim would teach me the exercise, we would do them several times at the facility for correctness, AND provide me with the print out of the exercises and notes weekly. Tim made it fun and I looked forward to PT. YPB provided a folder with all my exercises & notes. This was very helpful to me so that I could be reminded to do my exercises in correct form at home otherwise I would not do them and/​or forget them. I noticed a huge improvement on week 1! It was not an easy process and I was very sore most of the time but I had NO PAIN! The sharp, dull, throbbing pain on my lower back was going away. I was now using muscles that should have been used to straightened my spine and posture. It was a lot of work, dedication, and patience for Tim & I. I have never had a physical therapist work with me like Tim. He really cared to «fix me» & addressed any issues I had. I would highly recommend Tim. Tim changed my life and has taught me how to live a pain free life. Thanks Tim!

Your Pesonal Best helped me with my fears of having to go to physical therapy. After injuries from a car accident in Sept.2014, I was not able to walk for 3 months. In December of 2014, I started at Your Personal Best. The staff, Lindsay, Tiffany, and Tim have all been super helpful with my therapy and made my physical therapy a pleasant experience. From the moment you walk in the door, Lyndsay always greets me super friendly and I don’t feel like «ugh I have to do therapy today» I’m very pleased with the progress I’ve made and can definitely see improvement. Tiffany is easy to talk to and always gives helpful pointers of how to improve in some way with the progress I’m making. Tim is also very helpful too and pushes me to do more than I think I can do. Physical therapy works when you do all the exercises they give you outside of actually going into the office. Plus I like the home exercises they gave me also, that has helped a lot. I would highly refer this establishment to anyone having to do physical therapy. All in all, I’m glad I was referred here to do my therapy because they really help and listen to you. –Nikki Paredes

I have had healing in the hands of these Physical Therapists! From Lyndsay who assists in front making appointments and the business at hand to Tim and Robin who are amazing, surprising, and
remarkable. I had never had physical therapy and didn’t know what to expect. I began on Feb 4.
I was referred to YPB from my doctor due to what I thought was an injured back. My original condition was crippling down into my leg and was nights of 2 – 3 hours sleep a night at most because of pain. I literally was walking with a cane and no more than 20 feet without resting and in tears.
Tim began my program… Robin worked and also added to my program. There are hands on treatments from Tim or Robin, with me, in their clinic and home exercises. Their approach is common sense and their techniques are amazing! their Approach is NOT a pushing, punishing sweaty workout. If I am feeling pain then I should slight up. Their knowledge of the body and muscles are beyond comprehension. My main hotspot was not so much my back as my hip and the muscle behind that bone. PLUS my muscles from my back through my thighs and legs are soooo tight and non flexible.
Today, Feb 22… I have not utilized my cane in 2 weeks. I sleep throughout the night! I take no pain pills because I don’t need em! I am healed and continue to heal more thanks to these Über-​professionals.
I know every case and patient are different… but even that is obvious as they treat each client specific to their needs. That said I owe huge thanks to this business and these Pros! I cannot affirm them enough.
Thank you Tim, Robin, and Lindsey. I walk and function fully today. Thanks so much!!!

Decided that I should do my review. I spent about 3 months of PT with this group based upon the recommendation of my doctor. Initially made decent progress but nothing earth shattering. I was there twice a week and never once saw the owner. Saw the lead PT once a month and he was very thorough and knowledgeable. The remaining time was spent with «Tiffany». She was ok but not «cutting edge» on ideas to improve the process of rehabbing my injury. Their equipment is very limited and although they give you almost one on one attention I found it was not helpful at all. They even told me that they felt they had done all they could do and that our time had come to an end. Would not recommend them to any of my family or friends. I mentioned my experience to my doctor and he was totally surprised as he said they used to really stand out for their services. Something has changed apparently but I have no idea what… I just know I won’t be back. I have since discovered Austin Preferred Integrative Medicine and they have accomplished in 3 weeks what YPBPT could not do in 3 months.

I saw Tim Komazec for several months for bulging discs and debilitating back pain. Everything I did was painful. Because Tim was looking at my body’s alignment — the big picture — he was able to give me a series of exercises and stretches that retrained my body. Some of these seemed to have little relevance to the pain, but I did them. That’s the key — you have to do the home exercises. Now, about six months later, I feel better than I’ve felt in YEARS. I’m healthy again, and have developed good habits around exercising and stretching that I do every day at home. Tim has a gift for really searching for the source of the problem, and finding the very specific movements that will re-​teach the body and not only get rid of the pain, but make us healthy again.

NO, They are prescriptive. 50% of the appointment is spend gathering data and then (without watching) printing out exercises from an online company None of this is about the person and quirks.
They take insurance, and do it well.
I would have thought, someone watched me walk/​move and tailored things… worked on me and followed up.
Having been active, and having worked through multiple injuries in my life, I was hoping for an adivisor — they are not it.
Nope — all about the suggested exercises. and time spent working on paperwork.

I have had a great experience at YPB. I fractured my ankle going sideways off a curb and so needed PT to get back my strength and range of motion after having the ankle immobilized for 5 weeks.
I am still attending my PT sessions but have nothing but good things to say about the facilities and my PT team. Katie and Robin are encouraging and upbeat even when they are making my muscles scream. They understand and share my goals and frustrations. And though they constantly worry they are hurting me when they are working me over (trying to get my talus to «glide») I can take a little short-​term pain for a long-​term benefit.
I noticed another reviewer stating that he was constantly rescheduled or cancelled but that has not been my experience. I have been called and asked if I was willing to reschedule only once, but that was because other patients had cancelled that day and my PTA was going to have a big gap between clients. While they did call to ask, I did not feel any pressure to say yes. However, I was able to make the change and was happy to do so.
The same reviewer also talked about insurance billing issues. This also surprised me as when I called to make my first appointment they took down my insurance information and told me then what my benefit limits were and what my per-​visit co-​pay would be. There was even one day that I had an early appointment (and left before the receptionist arrived) and so did not pay my co-​pay for that visit until the next one.
Anyway, I wanted to share my experience, which has clearly differed dramatically from the other reviewer’s.

My experience with Your Presonal Best has been life changing.
From day one they addressed my ROM and strength goals as well as my loss of confidence in my shoulder. Some of the stretching was painful and Some of the exercises were strange, but every week my progress was obvious. I went from very little motion and strength, to push ups and pull ups in weeks.
My advice to anyone who has enrolled here or is thinking about enrolling here is:
1. Stay positive
2. Be honest when your therapist asks questions
3. Ask Questions about anything you’d like to know about recovery
4. Show up ready to work
5. Do the exercises you are assigned for homework
Your sessions are one on one and custom built so they can be adjusted to your fitness level and progression rate. If you are motivated and communicate you will be back sooner than you realize.

I am so grateful to the folks at «Your Personal Best.» Though I have been successfully treated by physical therapist, Amy Beth, at YPB for various sports injuries and pains over several years, she recently helped me recover from my greatest physical challenge.
In 2011, I was diagnosed with an unusual, painful and serious condition, trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The trigeminal cranial nerve (controls the nerves in the face) misfires and sends sharp stabbing pains to one side of the face — in my case, the pain struck in and around my left eye. This disorder is so painful; it has been called the suicide disease because it is often progressive in nature. I was in pain and anxious about the future.
Standard medical treatment for TN includes anti-​convulsion drugs (side effects are significant) and/​or surgery (serious brain surgery). Alternative treatments include cranio-​sacral physical therapy, the success of which depends on the qualifications and experience of the therapist.
I asked Amy Beth at YPB if she could perform cranio-​sacral therapy on me. Amy Beth has been trained in this therapy and was game to try to help me. Within a couple treatments, a significant amount of my pain dissipated. After a few months, I am happy to report that the pain is in remission. I owe much of the quality of my life to Amy Beth and the folks at «Your Personal Best.» Everyone in the office treated me with utmost kindness and efficiency. Praise God for Amy Beth and YPB.

honestly, I’ve never had PT before. so, not sure I can be a good judge of the treatment. but I’ll say the place is clean and staff friendly.
I’ve been having sharp pain in my shoulder when I move it a certain way. I just learned not to move that arm in that certain direction. didn’t seem to slow down my beer/​wine fork/​spoon actions so I just lived with it. had a physical today and my dr sent me to PT at this place.
they charged me $ 100, I was there about an hr. the therapist had me do multiple push/​pull lift/​reach type things. she’d look at me with different degree of squint in her eye, used some medical technical words that meant nothing to me «your scalupariaum seems inflamed with the ac3» (or something like that). she’d compare my outsretched arm and shoulder to some measuring thing that looked like it belonged on a high school drafting table.
then she warned me that PT also stood for pain and torture. it wasn’t so bad. she pushed hard into my arm pit, scraped my ligaments with something called, «the scraper». I rather enjoyed the massage-​like like part. she then got some super tape and packaged me up so my back skin is constantly pulling on my shoulder. told me to leave the tape on for three days.
I go back twice next week. so they get stars for being prompt (I waited maybe five minutes), friendly, firm and getting taped up– my first bondage experience is easily worth an extra star and I get to enjoy it for three more days.
