El Paso Manual Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I had bad plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis. David helped me correct both in a very short time and gave me the tools to remain symptom free in the future. I have had almost no pain in months and am extremely active almost every day. Thank you David!

Fantastic experience: I began physical therapy for my knee with Dr. David Middaugh & have been pleased with his care, his thoroughness, and that the treatment immediately helped relieve some pain. He was very careful in how he handled my knee, taking the time to fully explain my condition & the treatment before doing anything. He also gave me some helpful home exercises which have helped me very much. We're on the road to recovery, and I'm glad he's guiding me along so well!

Fantastic experience: David Middaugh is an excellent physical therapist, likely one of the best you will encounter, and I do not say that lightly. I have seen 5 physical therapists over the past 8 years for various physical issues including knee, hip, shoulder, and nerve pain. Of them all, I received the most personalized, in-depth, and capable care from David. I recently finished a 7-month physical therapy treatment with another therapist. Following that treatment, I still had serious pain in my shoulder. I visited David, and after 2 hours of a thorough body assessment, he immediately found a serious issue that my previous physical therapist had missed (weak upper trap muscles). His recommended exercises have relieved my pain, and strengthened my muscles to prevent continued pain. David is a particularly capable therapist because he is intelligent and talented, but also cares about you as a person, rather than a medical case. He explains well and thoroughly to you what is going on in your body. Before establishing his own practice, he advocated for NOT rotating patients between different therapists in order to provide thorough, attentive care. Another aspect I really appreciate about David is that he keeps up will current research to provide the most informed assessment and treatment possible – he completed his doctorate physical therapy studies at a well-respected research program in physical therapy (Texas State University), and has continued a special residency to enhance his skills because of his passion for physical therapy and people. You will cannot go wrong with David!

Fantastic experience: They healed my 10 year shoulder injury when no one else could. They are amazing!!!!

Fantastic experience: I follow Dr David on YouTube for my knee issues. Amazing help and results. Exercise program for knees and hip tendonitis have worked extremely well for me and are now part of my daily exercise routine.

Fantastic experience: You have to participate and do your exercises daily, but if you commit to it, they definitely help. The people here are lovely, and there is a very pleasant work environment. It was well worth the effort!

Fantastic experience: I had pain in my knee for almost 3 years. My therapists gave me a ton of exercises that didn't help at all. After Dr. Middaughch's extraordinary information, I tried to relax my thigs for the first time and have been foam rolling and stretching my quads. This has reduced my pain significantly for the first time. Thank you very much!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tessa and Dr. Kendall are fantastic! I flew in for the day and couldn’t be happier with the results. The whole team is extremely professional, you really feel like they care about you and I didn’t feel like just another number. When I run across quality people in any profession I always save that persons number and recommend them to friends. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. A special thanks to Amber for being amazing as well, thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I sustained a low back injury at the age of 9, which caused my right leg to become shorter than my left. In 1988 I sustained a career ending injury to my upper back while moving a patient. I had years of chiropractic and massage therapy with minimal improvement. In 2021 I developed severe pain in my lower back and numbness in my left leg. An MRI showed 3 bulging discs. Steroid injections didn’t help. Physical therapy helped minimally, until my husband found El Paso Manual Physical Therapy (EPMPT) for a torn meniscus, which is now mostly healed WITHOUT SURGERY! He does exercises recommended by EPMPT daily. During my very first treatment at El Paso Manual Physical Therapy, Dr Tesa adjusted my spine and for the FIRST TIME in over 50 years my legs are the same length!!! My progress is slow but steady and I am very happy with the care I receive and how they treat me. I have been given exercises that I do at home, which help tremendously. I highly recommend El Paso Manual Physical Therapy!!!

Fantastic experience: Here is my testimony: I was looking for an alternative to Western medicine as I felt that it was just putting a bandaid on the problem. That's when I found El Paso Manual Physical Therapy on YouTube. I had back issues for several years. Once I found out EPMPT was only a 45- minute drive from where I lived I gave them a call. After I spoke with Amber I was convinced I needed to come in to give it a try. I had a consultation with Dr. Tessa and Dr. Tessa was the first provider that actually touched my back! When I first came to the clinic I could barely walk and needed to use a wheelchair. It was hard for me to stand for long periods of time. If I was standing for only a few minutes my entire leg would go numb all the way to my foot. I was in the medical field for 30 years. I had only seen the type of physical therapy that they send you to after surgery. I feel that here it's different. EPMPT helps you prevent any kind of surgery or helps you avoid relying on pain medications. I consider Dr. Tessa to be a blessing. Dr. David and El Paso Manual Physical Therapy as a whole was a godsent to me. If it wasn't for me coming in I would have ended up having back surgery.

Fantastic experience: Great person and very detailed pt. I went in 2020 for my left knee. I got very sick and discontinued therapy. I am hoping to go back. Excellent one on one therapy.

Fantastic experience: Dr. David Middaugh is a genius when it comes to human body. Leagues above many physical therapists. I highly recommend El Paso Manual Physical Therapy. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend David at El Paso Manual Physical Therapy. He is very knowledgeable and helped me with a complicated recovery from hip surgery. I am recovered in just a few weeks and I am very grateful!

Fantastic experience: After struggling with back pain and frequently going to the chiropractor I finally got results with Dr. David. He listened to my complaints, clearly explained the issue and got me back to feeling normal. Dealing with his office manager Amber is easy and always a great experience. Setting up payment options was super easy and doable. I saw an ad 3 months prior before coming in and regretted not coming in sooner. I hate writing reviews but it was totally worth it for Dr. David and his staff!

Fantastic experience: I just finished 8 week therapy for L shoulder joint pain and diminished scapular mobility and I am delighted to say that I met my goals of significantly decreaseing pain and stiffness and increasing strenghth and mobility necessary for my work and everyday life activities thanks to balanced and efficient combination of manual tretments and therepeutic exercise prescribed by Dr. David. His expertise, dedication and clear communication coupled with Amber's caring attitude and great custumer support are a winning combination. They made my experience there enjoyable and easy. I wholeheartedly recommned this PT office for all your joint, muscle and mobility issues. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Only watched YouTube channel but found it very helpful for my knee injury.

Fantastic experience: Canceled knee surgery several months ago because I was getting some good results with collagen. Since then working with some physical therapy and now working with videos from El Paso. I find this advice to be the best I've found. I'm learning things I never knew before that are extremely hel

Fantastic experience: I totally recommend Dr. David Middaugh. I went in with severe sciatica pain and he immediately help me. In a week my pain went from 100 to 70%. He explained and educated me on the cause of my pain. I feel great now and have no pain. I'm able to move at a fast pace again. Feels great. He also showed me exercises I now use in my daily routine that don't take time from my busy schedule. Dr. David Maddaugh is very nice and polite man. His staff is also very nice and helpful. I totally recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Middaugh and staff for anybody seeking physical therapy services. They were respectful, professional and a joy to work with. Rest assured you will be getting the best possible care with these great people!

Fantastic experience: Pain in my lower back and shoulders made it very difficult for me to sleep at night and impossible to lift weights at the gym. I thought I would have to be content with running and no weight training for the rest of my life. Dr. Middaugh has given me a new hope. After faithfully doing his exercise recommendations, I am back at the gym, my lower back is recovering, and my shoulders are also healing. If you plan to pursue manual physical therapy, know that this is a journey. You will not reach instant results but you will find life changing results if you are willing to do diligence. What I have learned so far is to be consistent with your exercises. If I miss a few days of not doing my recommended exercises, my body lets me know. I am so thankful for El Paso Manual Physical Therapy. Please consider this wonderful practice!

Fantastic experience: Dr. David and his staff are amazing. I went in to see them leaning , walking very slow and in so much pain with every step. I had been to so many Chiropractors in the past that would help for a few months and my lower back pain would return again. I never fully understood what was causing my pain to come back, every time more excruciating. I made a choice to go to El Paso Manual Physical Therapy and it was definitely the best decision I made. He was able to help me decrease my pain and increase my mobility. I definitely recommend Dr. David and El Paso Manual Physical Therapy. Very friendly environment and very supportive with treatment.

Fantastic experience: WOW! Dr. David is amazing! My 84-year-old father suffered from horrible arthritis fleer that left him in a wheelchair with very limited mobility. We tried using the insurance recommendations and it worsens my fathers’ condition. The wait time to see a physical therapist was incredible and not all physical therapists will see a patient in a wheelchair. The longer my father went without care the worst his condition got. The out of pocket cost was VERY worth it! Dr. David not only treated my fathers’ mobility issues, he indirectly treated my fathers' emotional issues. He took my father within a week and set up an aggressive plan that was effective. My father’s pain decreased his mobility increased. My father can now sleep through the night, stand up and care for himself. My father has gained his dignity. Dr. David is a sweetheart with his patience and communicates with my siblings and me. Very grateful to Dr. David! He is truly amazing. My father refers to Dr. David as his miracle worker, and he is!

Fantastic experience: Dr. David Middaugh is amazing and was able to determine what was causing my back and hip pain. Other physicians had stated to me that I needed a hip replacement. I could barely walk without pain even after taking strong pain meds. I set an appointment with Dr. Dave who immediately after an evaluation determined what was causing my pain. Dr. Dave through his treatments and minimal exercise strenghth plans and obviously no meds, got me back to walking and even running without pain. Thanks to Dr. Dave for helping me getting back to enjoying a physically active lifestyle!!!

Fantastic experience: I was experiencing lower back pain, and numbness/tingling in my legs and feet. I am usually very active and lift weights, run, and cycle regularly, but the pain significantly inhibited me from doing any of those activities comfortably. I didn't want to see a doctor, for fear that I would be put on medication or told that I need surgery. Dr. David's services were a great alternative. He helped explain the root cause of the pain, and helped educate me on what I needed to change in my workout routine to activate and strengthen the right muscles, which would alleviate undue pressure on the nerves due to muscle imbalances. He and his staff are friendly and accommodating, and he is very patient. I really appreciate that he empowers patients to understand their body mechanics and use what he teaches so that patients don't have to keep coming back for treatment. If you're experiencing pain and want a natural, holistic alternative to traditional medicine, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: After viewing several of Dr. David's videos on-line, I decided to make an appointment to see if he could help me with the pain and discomfort I was experiencing in my right shoulder. I have had a torn bicep for several years and have had to be very careful to sustain a fine line between doing too much or not enough to maintain the use of my right arm. I have always been active, but I had really hurt my shoulder by playing fetch with the dog and lifting my grandson. I realized I needed to strengthen that shoulder if I wanted to remain active and not run the risk of having to have surgery. Dr. David was so easy to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I saw such a difference in my arm/shoulder every time I went to therapy. I have been able to return to the gym and resume all my activities--pain free!!! I continue to strengthen my arm/shoulder by lifting weights which I would not have attempted prior to working with Dr. David. The additional bonus is that I ended up losing a few pounds and inches in the process!!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Dr. David hunched over in tears from pain. I couldn't sit,walk, stand, even sleep with out shedding tears. Before seeing him I decided to go to the emergancy room, who prescribed me muscle relaxers, which never even touched my back/leg pain. After warning me of the muscle relaxers that would be prescribed i called front desk Amber ( most beautiful soul ever) she set up my appointment with David. 6 appointments later, I'm walking straight, sleeping great, and I got to see my daughter finish her softball season. Dont wait and see Dr. David asap.

Fantastic experience: I had been experiencing pain since mid-2016. I went to visit my doctor and was given pain meds and had an x-ray nothing was found. The doctor just associated my pain with stress so he sent me home and told me to try to relax. My pain got worse I went back and I was given stronger pain meds. I didn't just want to be on pain meds without knowing what was wrong with me. I had an MRI done and was given more pain meds but not an answer to what was going on. I consider myself a healthy active person and I was no longer able to enjoy the things I did on a daily basis such as running and exercising. The pain took over my daily routine. I luckily came across a video from EP Manual and decided to try it. At this point, I had nothing to lose and was already thinking the pain was something I had to learn to live with that it was a part of me now. I had my first visit and immediately felt some relief. After about my third visit my neck pain was pretty much non-existent. I am so satisfied with the results and just wish I would have come to EP Manual sooner.

Fantastic experience: Everything is very well explained, from how the physical therapy treatments will help you to doing home exercise on your own. I noticed my pain slowly diminishing once the treatments started. David is excellent on treating patients carefully and in a caring matter. Always felt comfortable and felt my healing process improving. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: David is great at what he does! I recently had a rotator cuff repair with a biceps tendonesis and he smoothly got me back to recovery. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I loved going once every 2-6 weeks with detailed instructions and links to videos about what to do at home. He listened to all my concerns, remembers everything about me and my body and always had an answer. I’m a Physcian and now refer anyone with PT needs to him cause I know he’ll do a great job.

Fantastic experience: Dr. David helped me so much with my knee injury! Once I corrected my form on running and even walking, the knee problem went away! I also had some injuries to my neck and shoulders and he helped me so much!! He is very precise in his plan of care and very thorough! You will be so happy you chose him!
