Spero Rehab Austin

Fantastic experience: I have had 4 major orthopedic surgeries now (3 knee and 1 arm) and been treated by several different physical therapists. I feel very comfortable when being treated by Matt, so much I even followed him from his previous employer to Spero for my most recent surgery! The clinic is very new and I was pleased to see they already had all the equipment and furniture they needed in a clean environment to give me the best treatment possible. I would definitely recommend Matt for anyone needing orthopedic treatment and I have already referred one of my friends to him and he is starting treatment here soon too.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed rehab on my hand after surgery in August. Spero was on the list of physical therapy groups recommended by my Doctor. The facility is new and the location was great for me. The reason for the 5 star rating was for the level of care I received from my Occupational Therapist, Emily. She took the time to explain each exercise and how it would contribute to helping me recover. Emily challenged me with a variety of exercises, so it was never boring. I would certainly recommend Emily to my friends and family who were in need of an excellent Occupational Therapist.

Fantastic experience: My PT is helping me to recover from major surgery by helping me to safely perform my job duties which include climbing ladders & installing heavy equipment systems. I feel so grateful to her for taking the time to understand how physically demanding my job is & then guiding me so that I am able to regain my strength while avoiding re-injury. Thank you so very much!

Fantastic experience: Problem: Ignored wound, blood infection, spinal infection, unbelievable pain, spinal surgery, bed, walker, crutches, cane, limp, neuropathy in feet, legs, pelvic area. My doctors at BSW were amazing. Dr. Theoklisto (Infectious Disease, Lakeway) and Dr. Desai (Surgeon at BSW in Temple) and his team saved my life. Their nutritionist talked me into eating every meal. Even the janitor was kind and uplifting, making me laugh as he cleaned my room. My pelvic floor physical therapist is Elizabeth Levins at Spero Rehab on the campus of St Augustine School for Health Sciences on La Crosse in Austin. It’s easy to get to; easy to park. So far, in our 45-minute sessions twice a week, this is what she has done for me: Besides pelvic floor therapy, my favorite thing is the Visceral Mobilization, cupping, and dry needling work Lisa does. It caused me to go from 10-12 awful surprise bowel movements a day to 1-4 amazing bm’s. My IBS is gone. My lower back stopped locking up. I can lie on my left side without leg pain. My balance has improved dramatically. I have only a tiny limp when I’m tired, instead of flopping my foot forward. I no longer drag my leg or foot. The retraining of my pelvic area has made my life 100% better. Lisa and I work in a private room; I could never be as open with her as I am and make the progress I have in an open PT environment. I’m excited to start orthopedic PT with Lisa, because I still walk in a wavy pattern. No matter how soft a seat was, it was like sitting on a cobblestone toilet seat, then a rail fence. Now it’s like sitting on a ping pong ball. Another of her patients and I even fan-girl’d her in the hall outside her treatment room. Then I met Dr. Nilin Rao, my podiatrist (who is so very gentle). He uses MLS Laser Therapy that has banished patches of neuropathy from day one. (It feels like velvet brushing across my skin.) The big patches were on the back of my thighs and the side of one calf. Before the laser treatment, I felt like I was walking on a hotdog on the outside of my foot and smooth river rocks on the rest. Now, no hotdog and more patches of recovery on the bottom of my foot. I still need my Gabapentin, but my nerve regeneration had stalled until I started seeing Dr. Rao and his assistant Stacy who does my treatments. I’m finished with treatment but improvement is still happening.

Fantastic experience: I am pleased with the care I receive from Danielle, with Spero Rehab. She gives excellent massages and knows exactly what muscles need strengthening in my body. I am improving and I am hopeful to get back to normal. Danielle is professional, knowledgeable and very likable. I am lucky she is my therapist.

Fantastic experience: Nice facility. My husband is very impressed by Amanda , heard she was very good so happy we requested her . Very kind and professional. She understands when people are struggling.

Fantastic experience: Great place with up to date equipment.The staff is helpful and polite. AMANDA is my favorite therapist. ❤️

Fantastic experience: great personalized care. Val is awesome! So pleasant and positive to work with.

Fantastic experience: So very happy with my treatment at Spero. John was so thorough with my exam and finding the right treatment for my injury ! I cant say enough about the awesome care I have had there !

Fantastic experience: I feel very comfortable at SPERO Rehab - Austin. Lisa and Ariana are the best. They really know what they are doing and have an answer for any question that I have. My achiness is substantially reduced and I appreciate all they have done for me. By Mary M.

Fantastic experience: I've gone to Spero for some months now and have always been very impressed. My personal PT, Cole, is awesome because his expertise and his genuineness in caring are quite evident, consistently. I always appreciate how passionate everyone there seems to be about their work. I'd highly recommend Spero.

Fantastic experience: Danielle has helped my arthritic knees.She explains the purpose of each exercise, keeps me moving during the 1 hour session, and listens to my input and modifies each exercise accordingly. Making great progress toward pain-free walking!

Fantastic experience: I am recovering from a knee replacement surgery. I would not be as far along in my recovery if it wasn't for the wonderful therapists at Spero Rehab! They listen and work hard at making me work hard to recover correctly.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love, this place. There’s literally nowhere else I’d rather be (besides my pre-injury body). I do have some constructive criticism for the staff members (or management), however… I think there should be a little bit more hip hop added to the Pandora playlist. There are obviously constraints due to language and explicit content. Maybe there should be a hip hop - friendly time slot each week. Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9 and 11 would be a perfect time to have hip hop selections (on a trial basis). We obviously want to be considerate of people who enjoy rote top 40 hits as background music. I could wear headphones during my sessions, but who wants to deal with AirPods!? Maybe people would enjoy a little bit more energy and a change of pace? Please consider it or I may consider taking my business elsewhere…

Fantastic experience: Love this place, since the first time I called to ask for information, Taylor was super friendly and answered all of my questions. My therapist Cole is super knowledgeable and friendly, he has been helping me with my therapy and getting me on path to recovery. In general all the staff is really friendly and easygoing, the installations are really good. 100% recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Spero did a great job helping me rehab after an arthroscopic knee surgery. Big thanks to Val who taught me so much and got me strong enough to take on my future! Really appreciate everything

Fantastic experience: I love Spero Rehab!! The front staff has incredible customer service and all of the physical therapists are so caring and knowledgeable! Big thank you to Kelli, Tayler, and Val for making the scheduling process so easy and my awesome PTs Josh, Kristina, Amanda, Danielle, and Cole for making my knee feel great!! Anyone needing PT should check this place out!! Go Spero!!

Fantastic experience: Spero has modern and clean facilities. Therapists and trainers are very professional and friendly. Their service is excellent and provides rehab for any condition.

Fantastic experience: Spero has been great for my wife and me. We are in our 70s and have had multiple needs for PT. We have gone to Spero for each problem and the results have been wonderful. I am an ongoing patient due to hip replacements and continue to improve with their help.

Fantastic experience: I feel very fortunate to be receiving physical therapy at Spero! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they sincerely want to help you improve. Spero is also very well equipped which provides all of the equipment required for your therapy. Call Spero today and you will feel better very soon!

Fantastic experience: Excellent PT services! Lisa has been great as my primary therapist, but when the times don’t fit, others like Cole and Valerie have made the transitions seamless. For Circle C people, you can’t beat the location right by Kiker.

Fantastic experience: I started my PT journey here at the end of February after I had surgery for ACL Reconstruction in my right knee. I have been working with Amanda as my therapist 3x a week for the last 3 months, and I have been making great improvements in line with the recovery protocol. Amanda, (and her student assistant Liz) have helped me cross the milestones of range-of-motion, walking, and now light jumping in my first 3 months. The care is great, the equipment is modern and very useful, and the entire place is supportive towards effective rehab. I'm looking forward to continuing my rehab journey at Spero Rehab and finally being able to resume running and eventually soccer over the next several months.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Lisa at Spero for almost a month now and it has been nothing but a positive experience. I have already seen results in a short amount of time. Also, Lisa takes her time to listen to your concerns as well as addressing goals and how the two of you can work together to achieve them. She is also super knowledgeable and backs her exercises and plans with research and will often use models to show which muscles are being targeted, which is so helpful for a visual person like me! I can't say enough about Lisa and I am thankful I found her at Spero.

Fantastic experience: I've done PT with four different providers in Austin, and Spero is exceptional both objectively and comparatively. On the clinical side, Lisa is an amazing physical therapist - she listens with intent, provides lots of helpful resources, and works hard to ensure her patients feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged. On the business side, Tayler makes scheduling and billing feel effortless. She schedules weeks out, provides print + text reminders, and always returns calls and emails asap. These folks make me feel like I have a team of people invested in my recovery. In a world of huge medical groups and corporate branding, Spero stands out in the quality of their care!

Fantastic experience: Started coming to Spero for severe knee pain and to strengthen prior to knee replacement surgery. Have been to two other PT agencies in the past and Spero is absolutely the best - Valerie focuses on what is needed to keep functioning, including balance and flexibility. Post surgery recovery has been much easier because of her pre and post treatments. Am completely happy with Spero services.

Fantastic experience: Spero has been an awesome experience for my daughter. Everyone from the front desk, to intake, to each PT is kind, patient, and thorough in their work. Beautiful and clean office space with a fully equipped gym. 10/10 - we highly recommend this group!

Fantastic experience: The entire staff at Spero Rehab are awesome. Truly caring to help, trustworthy in their treatment plans, and I value everything they do. Highly recommended. I am seeing Cole this injury, saw Matt last one. If ever some other injury comes up I know where I will go.

Fantastic experience: My Physical Therapist Amanda is awesome! Since I had an accident and broke BOTH arms the therapy sessions with her have significantly helped me regain my mobility and greatly decreased the pain. I highly recommend Amanda to friends and family! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Had a really great experience with Spero Rehab and Courtney. The place is clean, has new equipment, and the staff is helpful and friendly. Courtney was a fantastic PT- my injury wasn't very common and she came up with a detailed and customized plan that was very effective. I went from not being able to walk without pain to running completely pain-free. Courtney is a very skilled PT, and Spero seems like an A+ organization from top to bottom. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Unfortunately this is my second time at Spero Rehab. I saw Courtney and am now seeing Valerie. I've been to other physical therapist and can honestly say Spero Rehab has been the best experience. The therapist are friendly and knowledgable. They are great listeners and always answer any questions I've had. I'm usually quite shy when I go to a new place, but they have always made me feel very comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I’m on my second injury rehab with Spero and I can’t sufficiently express how fabulous they are! The therapists are very knowledgeable and super friendly. I’ve been working with Valerie for almost a year and she’s magnificent. Admin staff is very helpful and accommodating with scheduling and billing. A hidden jewel in the CCRanch community!

Fantastic experience: Cole is awesome! He created a program to help me regain the strength in my knee. He explained the injury and the process to achieve results. I am feeling so much better. Thank you!! I also had the pleasure to attend sessions with Valerie. She was awesome! Valerie made sure to check on how my knee was doing throughout the sessions and made adjustments as needed. She was able to provide me with activity modifications so that I can continue to attend my workout classes. Amber was great too. She helped to correct my form on both the rower and treadmill to ensure that I was not putting additional strain on my knees. I love that the team at Spero truly listen to the patients needs and care for their patients. Their friendliness makes the sessions enjoyable. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I am really happy with the care and plan that Danielle is giving me and my injuries. I love her expertise, experience and knowledge in treating sports injuries. Highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Cole at Spero is an amazing physical therapist. I've seen him for therapy on a variety of body parts, and he's been able to help in all instances. He is knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. I highly recommend Cole and Spero!

Fantastic experience: I've been in and out of PT since 1981 - Cleveland Clinic, Bennett Institute of Baltimore, Rocky Mountain Orthopedics, and Spero, among others. I rate Spero at the top because of their state of the art facility, highly qualified therapists, and the awesome results I am getting. I wholeheartedly recommend Spero for people with PT needs.

Fantastic experience: I've had great results working with Valerie at Spero Rehab. After having knee problems for years, I am finally getting some relief! Spero has friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. I'd recommend them and Valerie Benjamin if you're in need of a good PT.

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic. The PTs at this location - Val, Matt, and Cole - are some of the best I have ever met. They take the time to listen and get to know you as a patient. They also make the sessions fun and enjoyable which really helps. Finally, it is very clean, and they take health protocols seriously. I am so happy I found Spero Rehab!

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased and impressed with the therapy I have been receiving at Spero Rehab. I have been working with Cole Stutz who had been recommended to me by a former inhome therapist. My neurologist had also said good things about Spero Rehab. I have had much physical therapy over the years while recovering from multiple back and leg surgeries. Spero and Cole certainly deserve my highest recommendation.

Fantastic experience: I've had two opportunities to brag about Spero Rehab. The first time I had a bursitis issue and the second time was a lower back problem. All I can say is the physical therapist made my pain go away. My main therapist was John Longorie. The first thing he would ask me was "Are you in any pain today" It wasn't long before the pain disappeared and I could go through all my exercises. If you need a rehab place you should consider Spero Rehab. They're great.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend SPERO Rehab Austin!! I had right knee replacement surgery earlier this year and I randomly found SPERO Rehab. It turned out to be the best choice for me. My physical therapist was Valerie (Val) and she proved to be amazing. She is highly trained and experienced. She knows what to do and how best to achieve my personal recovery goals. She is professional and at the same time she has the coolest personality. She’s very easy to connect with. I was nervous about what rehab might look like. Valerie created the perfect atmosphere for my recovery. She is my cheerleader, my exercise coach and she instinctively knew when to guide me to not over do it. I always looked forward to me sessions ... all of them. I’m forever grateful for all of the staff and receptionists at SPERO. I actually had fun going to sessions. We worked hard. My recovery was consistently ahead of schedule. And we laughed a lot, too. I am so grateful for the care, encouragement and healing throughout my sessions. When I get my other knee done in the near future I plan to use them again. There are THAT GOOD!

Fantastic experience: Having just been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease I began looking for a rehab program with therapists experienced in Parkinson's in the Austin area.My daughter,with 3 sons and one daughter , all fervent soccer players,provided me with the perfect place - Spero Rehab Austin. We had an evaluation and a schedule , and were assigned to Cole. He was just what I needed. I knew he was very knowledgeable as he explained how certain exercises were specifically for my problem. This was very reassuring. I am going back to my home in Pennsylvania the end of February and will miss my time at Spero. I can truthfully say I enjoyed every session and went away each time feeling improvement. I also appreciated Amanda (intern). I am 82 years old and the care and concern they showed me and I will always be thankful for this experience. Dorothy Flower February 8 2020

Fantastic experience: I worked with Valerie for almost 3 months, twice per week, to resolve issues with my knee. I went from having pain doing normal things around the house (going up the stairs and kneeling down) to being able to work out with no pain! We started each session with a brief recap of how things have been, if I’d been having any particular issues, and then warmed up. I would spend the next 50 minutes doing specific exercises Valerie put together to address previous concerns along with repeating key strengthening movements. I would be tired and sweating by the end of it, so definitely a workout! She also gave me easy things I could do at home on my own. Valerie was great at listening to my concerns, what I wanted, and just my overall venting - ha! A few times I wasn’t able to meet with Valerie, so saw John and Arielle, and they were awesome, too. Everyone not only seemed very knowledgeable in what they were doing, but they enjoyed their job. I was actually sad when I was discharged because I liked going! In the end, I highly recommend Spero.

Fantastic experience: Dr. John Longoria at Spero Rehab on La Crosse at Circle C has done an amazing job helping me to get strengthened for my hip. I was experiencing pain with various of my daily activities as well as teaching duties prior to seeing him. With his expertise, caring manner and encouragement my rehab made such a difference in my life. I have NEVER enjoyed even riding past a gym, but I look forward to my treatments with him every week. John is truly committed to his job, his patience, and his profession. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is have orthopedic pain issue as the entire staff is great.

Fantastic experience: Spero Rehab, was a great experience from start to finish. Starting with the extremely friendly front desk to the knowledgable physical therapists, everyone was nice, efficient, and helpful. Personally, I worked with John to rehab an elbow injury. As a collegiate athlete, and specifically a pitcher, I really appreciated how well he explained what we were doing/working so I knew what was happening with my body. Also, the results speak for themselves, I am back to full intensity pitching pain free! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and although I hope I never have to return, I highly recommend to anyone looking for physical rehab, especially athletes looking to get ready for their season.

Fantastic experience: When I started with Matt at Spero, I was suffering from an acute back injury and was having difficulty with even walking. After several months of consistently working with him, I am back to being active and without suffering from constant pain. The treatment was individualized and functional. Being able to purposefully train within my limits, without being confined to just isolated movements/exercises, was very encouraging. I can’t say enough good things about Spero Rehab and the care that Matt provided. In observing the other therapists as well, you can tell that they are passionate about what they do. If you want a clinic that cares about each individual patient and doesn’t treat in a generic manner, then check them out.

Fantastic experience: Spero on LaCrosse is wonderful. All of the staff and therapists are super friendly and personal. The facility is excellent, they not only have the bands and balls and mats like most PT clinics but they also have access to a full gym with cardio machines for warming up as well as free and machine weights for strength building. I worked with John mostly and he is friendly, knowledgeable, and pushes just the right amount to continue progression of healing. I do CrossFit workouts so he made sure my strength and form were back before he suggested we stop working together. I’d go back if needed and would recommend friends and family to the facility and any of the therapists.

Fantastic experience: While training for a triathlon I suffered a labral tear of my right hip. Two orthopedic surgeons wanted to do surgery immediately, but I decided to try conservative treatment first. After working with John Longoria at Spero I was not only able to avoid surgery, but have been pain free for several months and have returned to all physical activities. The therapists at Spero are some of the best in Austin-- they provide one on one treatment, explain the rationale for all of their interventions, and design a personalized treatment plan for each client. As a fellow PT, I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I was in a tremendous amount of pain when I first arrived at Spero Rehab, but thanks to the insightful treatment of Cole and his staff, that's all in the past. The friendly environment and attentive care helped me work my way back from a very painful pinched nerve. Cole is awesome and does a great job of listening / checking in at the beginning of the session and adjusting throughout to ensure each exercise is giving help, relief and strength right where it's needed.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Spero Rehab for physical therapy after surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon. Working with Matt Elizondo, I've been impressed with his experience, knowledge, and personal care. Coordinating with my surgeon, he carefully explained the short-term and long-term plan for my recovery. It's a combination of measuring and increasing mobility, strengthening my foot and leg while letting the Achilles heal (no pun intended), muscle activation, soft tissue mobilization, edema control, improving my balance, fixing my gait, and more. Listening to my feedback and watching my progress, he has been tailoring the therapy to maximize recovery. Matt is always teaching. Throughout the process, he explains each prescribed activity and why and how it'll help. The clinic itself is spacious and clean with the latest equipment. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. I am confident that I'll be fully recovered and safely back on the court in no time. Spero Rehab and Matt will be a large part of the recovery and I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Spero Rehab is absolutely the best! I can't say enough about the people who work there, from the front desk to the therapists. They are state of the art and Austin is so lucky to have this facility here. My husband has Matt for his knee, and I am going to John for my neck. Both are outstanding. Love this place!
