In Texas, you can often see a physical therapist for a limited time without a referral (Direct Access). However, for post-surgical care or to utilize certain insurance benefits, a referral from your AOI physician is standard.

BFR involves using a specialized tourniquet (we use the Delphi unit) to safely limit blood flow to a limb during exercise. This allows you to gain muscle strength using very light weights, which is perfect for patients who are recovering from surgery or too painful to load.

Most patients feel a small “twitch” response in the muscle, which can feel like a brief cramp. It is a highly effective way to “reset” dysfunctional tissue and stimulate a natural healing response.

Typically, sessions last 45 to 60 minutes. This ensures ample time for manual therapy, modality use (like CFC™ or BFR), and exercise instruction.

Frequency depends on your condition. Post-surgical patients often come 2-3 times per week, while others may only need once-a-week “check-ins” to progress their home program.

CFC™ Therapy is a cutting-edge recovery tool that uses specific frequencies to rapidly clear swelling and inflammation without touching the skin. It’s excellent for acute trauma and accelerating recovery following surgery.

Often, yes! By strengthening the muscles around a joint and improving mechanics, we can frequently delay or even eliminate the need for surgery in cases of mild-to-moderate arthritis or small tendon tears.

We are in the same building as the AOI physicians at our Jollyville location. We are on the first floor of the Kingstone Properties building (entrance on the south side, adjacent to the Ladera Vista parking lot).
