Our Passion: Healing and Empowering You in Westlake Hills

I'm Stephen Dunn, and along with our dedicated team here at CORE Therapy & Pilates in Westlake Hills, Austin, Texas, we truly love what we do. For over two decades, my journey as a Physical Therapist has been driven by the profound impact that focused, holistic care can have on a person's life. Our clinic isn't just a place for therapy; it's a wellness space dedicated to helping you move better and live without limits.

Our Holistic Approach to Healing

We believe in looking beyond your pain point to treat the whole person. That's why we uniquely integrate multiple disciplines under one roof right here in the Austin area. Our team, comprised of highly specialized professionals like our dual-credentialed Physical and Occupational Therapists, blends expert Physical Therapy with specialized Manual Therapy, Clinical Pilates, and GYROTONIC® techniques. This approach allows us to not only address the root cause of your pain but also teach you how to move optimally and prevent future issues.

We take immense pride in helping those suffering from complex, chronic issues. For instance, we offer a dedicated, breakthrough approach to nerve health. If you're dealing with tingling, burning, or stubborn numbness, we invite you to [Discover Our Holistic, Drug-Free Solution for Nerve Health] and learn how we help nerves heal naturally.

Continuing Your Journey

Our commitment to your well-being doesn't end when you leave our Westlake Hills clinic. We want to empower your independence and ensure your progress lasts a lifetime. That's why we created our [Wellness Program]. This monthly membership provides you with the dedicated tools and space you need to continue your movement journey, maintain progress, and continue building strength in a supportive environment.

We're passionate about fostering a collaborative and healing environment for every person who walks through our doors in Austin. We look forward to partnering with you on your path to maximizing your movement and function!
