More Than Just Fixing Pain: Why Our Holistic Approach Matters to Austin

Here in Austin and Westlake Hills, Texas, we know you have choices when it comes to your health. But if you’ve been navigating persistent pain—whether it’s chronic tingling, nagging stiffness, or that frustrating feeling of your body’s “autopilot” going haywire—you’ve likely experienced the limitations of fragmented care. At CORE Therapy & Pilates, we believe your journey to wellness should be different.

As Stephen Dunn, a physical therapist with over two decades of experience, and alongside our exceptional team, including dual-credentialed PT/OT Andy Chin-Hueng Tseng, we founded this clinic on a profound belief: the point isn’t just to fix your pain; it’s to empower you to live a full, unburdened life.


Beyond the Symptom: Our Holistic Solution to Fragmented Care

Many healthcare approaches target isolated symptoms, leaving patients in a frustrating cycle of recurring pain and dependency. We offer a radically different path. Our holistic blend of services is designed to tackle two core problems for our Austin-area community:

  1. Solving Fragmented Care:
    • Root Cause Resolution: We integrate expert Physical Therapy with advanced Orthopedic Manual Therapy, including techniques like myofascial release and joint mobilization. This powerful combination allows us to pinpoint and treat the source of your pain—whether it’s compressed nerves in your neck causing hand numbness or postural issues leading to chronic back pain—instead of just chasing symptoms.
    • Preventing Recurrence: Our unique blend extends to Pilates and GYROTONIC® principles. We don’t just alleviate pain; we re-educate your body. By addressing underlying movement dysfunctions, we help you develop new, correct patterns that make pain less likely to return, ensuring your relief is lasting.
    • Comprehensive Expertise: With a team offering diverse, high-level skills, including specialized Occupational Therapy for hand and upper extremity recovery, we provide truly comprehensive care under one roof. No more being shuffled from specialist to specialist.

Restoring Your Life: Empowering Independence & Confidence

The true cost of chronic pain isn’t just physical; it’s the joy, the freedom, and the confidence it steals. Our services are dedicated to giving you that back:

  • Empowering Independence: Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools for self-management. Through education and access to our [Wellness Program], we empower you to confidently manage your body, preventing future issues and maintaining your gains long after your therapy sessions conclude.
  • One-on-One, Personalized Attention: We are committed to one-on-one appointments for continuous assessment and deeply personalized treatment plans. This accelerated healing journey builds genuine trust and ensures your unique needs are met every step of the way.
  • A Drug-Free Path: For those seeking alternatives, our [breakthrough, non-invasive, and completely drug-free approach to nerve recovery] offers a powerful option to traditional medications or surgery.

Our ultimate point is simple: to empower the people of Austin to be active, healthy, and confident. We invite you to experience the difference of care that looks at the whole you, so you can truly thrive.
