Axiom Physiotherapy

Experiencia fantástica: Ben has been genuinely life changing. I have facet arthrosis in my lower vertebrae, and when I moved to Austin I could barely walk a mile. He has completely transformed both my mindset and physical abilities. Went for a 7 mile hike this morning, which I never thought I’d be able to do again. I recommend him to people that are cross country in Michigan- that’s when you know the treatment is top tier. He should be #1 on your list if you’re anywhere near the Austin area.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is an awesome PT. He helped me work through an achilles tendon issue and be back in racing mode quickly. I had gone to a doctor a year before and she gave me a steroid shot which turned out to be a temporary fix. Ben taught me exercises to strengthen the tendon and suggested shoe adjustments to prevent it from happening again. Definitely recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Went to Dr. Shook one morning after a week of dealing with a hip issue that was causing me to be excruciating pain and make even walking hard to manage. I literally cried while grocery shopping because I was in so much pain. I had been doing stretches and things at home on my own and it wasn't getting better and I started to worry I was maybe making it worse by trying to stretch it out/walk it off. I was able to easily schedule an initial consult on his website. He is so nice and during the consult he did a series of tests and how I'd react to my leg doing movements. He determined it was likely a glute medius tendon/muscle issue that he could help resolve in a few sessions. He is super hands on and helps massage out the muscle which helped relieve the pain and accelerate the tendon healing. He provided at home exercises to try to target the muscle without stressing it to the point of causing pain. As my hip improved Dr. Shook also did a running consult to make sure as I get back into my physical routine, my running form is not leading to further injury. Can't thank him enough for his help in my recovery. I didn't mind that he doesn't take insurance because I really wanted to go someplace where I was the only patient being seen for the full hour and not somewhere where I'd be seen for 15 min and then be sent to go do exercises in a corner. You'll be his only patient during your appointment and he is working on your issue hands on the whole time. In my opinion, my mobility returning faster was absolutely worth paying out of pocket for. Also, he's super personable and I enjoyed chatting about all things exercise, Austin, food, and more while he treated me.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Ben for my torn calf muscle. I play soccer competitively and he was able to get me back on track in no time. Great experience all around. Very knowledgable on all muscle groups and no reason to go anywhere else. Easy parking and nice studio as well. I will be going back if I injure anything else.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Axiom after some how throwing out my neck. I couldn’t turn my head left or right without pain. I was also having headaches and pulsating pain due to muscle spasms. I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t hold or lift my baby, or sleep comfortably. While muscles relaxers and anti-inflammatory helped it was not enough. Ben was able to fit me in and with massage and dry needling I was able to leave his office almost completely without pain. One thing that I really appreciated about Ben was his understanding and concern for the amount of pain that I was in and being able to help get me back to normal. Next time anything like this happens I will see Ben sooner!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is phenomenal. I rarely write reviews online but Ben deserves 5 stars. He quickly identifies your problem and gets you back to feeling better quickly without needless extra sessions. Ben has worked on various parts of my body (rotator cuff, lower back, plantar fasciitis) and got me feeling better FAST. He is super responsive so scheduling is easy. He follows up his sessions with exercises to help your maintain progress. He also checks in with you post therapy to see how you are feeling. The guy really cares and it shows in his work. If you have a nagging injury or are in pain I can’t recommend him enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Ben and Axiom to anyone looking for PT. He is very knowledgeable, conscientious and thorough with his knowledge and practice. I tore my calf on a MTB outing and thought my upcoming hiking trip in Kauai was over. After three sessions in three weeks, I would say I am 95% and I'm not even concerned about the trip coming up in 4 more weeks. Ben came highly recommended to me, and I will happily pass him along to all of you lovely's out there in a bit of pain. Thanks again Ben! M

Experiencia fantástica: I have been referred to numerous physical therapists over the years, but my experience with Ben was uniquely different. He is incredibly knowledgeable and spent every minute of every session one-on-one with me regarding my neck issues. He is definitely the best in the field and I highly recommend him. Thanks, Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben has routinely managed to reduce my pain and resolve soreness arising from a serious ankle injury and hip strain that alluded chiropractors, surgeons and other wellness trainers for years. He has achieved consistent and lasting results through careful attention to detail while always maintaining an upbeat and positive disposition and demeanor. His care, experience and training are worth the time and resource commitment. Facilities are local, clean and Ben is COVID conscious and approaches each session with the professionalism of a top notch expert and wellness advocate. If you are looking for a place to start your road to recovery and wellness, start with Ben.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben provided excellent therapy to treat some issues I was having with neck pain. Hew was knowledgeable, considerate, and every skilled with providing long term relief to my pain. A+ physical therapist!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is a great therapist! Attentive, knowledgeable and super responsive. He has been able to get me in on short notice to work on something that flared up. Also just a super nice kind human being!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is the best PT I’ve ever been to. I experienced a neck injury that made it difficult to do daily tasks like sitting up, walking around and working. After only 1 session with Ben I began to experience great improvement. Not only is Ben an expert in his field but his kindness and compassion makes all the difference when you’re healing from a difficult injury. I can’t recommend Axiom PT enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben really knows his stuff, and I think what's more important, for me at least, is that he is very personable! Would recommend to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: There is a reason I've have been working with Ben for the past 7 years, he make the BEST orthotics. I had tried ~10 different options prior to working with Ben and can say without a doubt these last the longest and, most importantly, feel the best by far. Highly recommend working with him for all your orthotic (and rehab) needs!

Experiencia fantástica: To put it simply, Ben is the best in his field. I have seen countless physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, etc. to deal with chronic neck and back pain. I do not hesitate to recommend all my patients, friends, and family to see him. Thankfully, with Ben’s expertise, my pain subsided quickly. Thank you for your incredible work, Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Axiom for neck and jaw pain that was giving me headaches. The treatment was effective and nearly eliminated the issues I was having. Even better was the knowledge about pain and care that I learned at each session. 5 stars!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben and I have known each other for about 4 years and he's worked on my knee as well as my achilles. He's always got me back to feeling like my old self again. Thanks Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: The best PT I have ever been to. And I have seen a lot of physios. I went to Ben with a muscle spasm from my neck down to my shoulder. After 12 days of my neck stuck looking downwards and to the side along with searing pain. Dr. Booth did a deep tissue treatment similar to a massage as well as dry needling. My neck was instantly 150% better, and I was actually able to move my head again! He also recommended a tool called the thera cane which I have been using to loosing up the muscles at home. It is a 1 on 1 treatment, not like a lot of physios where they are treating 3 different people at once and pop in and out of the room and hook you up to some muscle stims and send you home with some stretches. This treatment actually worked! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is a class act physical therapist which extensive knowledge and experience. I not only trust him for myself, I trust him for my patients as well. If you want someone who will really spend time with you, Ben is your guy.

Experiencia fantástica: I had soreness in my shoulder that was preventing me from working out. After some appointments with Ben, my shoulder got better, and I'm able to exercise again. If you're looking for a physiotherapist, I'd highly recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is great! Due to a knee injury at 15, I’ve always had low back and knee pain especially when training for races and triathlons. Several past therapist would recommend store bought orthotics but they just never fit me right and provided minimal benefit. Ben assessed me thoroughly and provided me with custom made orthotics that fit perfectly. The orthotics along with therapy allowed me to train and compete with much less pain and discomfort. He is very knowledgeable and well versed in a variety of modalities as well as manual techniques to address problem areas. I highly recommend Axiom therapy to everyone I hear complaining about body pains and orthopedic injuries.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben Shook is a caring and experienced PT. I had seen him before but love his new office at Axiom. Really nice chill space where you get to work one on one with Ben, no assistants or doing exercises in a corner by yourself. Ben is a great PT with a wealth of knowledge and a full body approach, where he really tries to figure out what is causing discomfort and what changes can be made in daily life to try to minimize pain flare-ups. No hesitation giving a 5star rating here!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben at Axiom Physiotherapy has really brought me a long way in my battle with neck and lower back pain. Before I started doing PT with him, I couldn’t get through a whole day without extreme neck and low back pain. Can’t thank him enough - going to see him allows me to stay physical and continue hitting the gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome experience. Went in last week for a consultation, then back yesterday for treatment. I've been in Ironman training, and took a bad tumble snowboarding a few weeks ago; so I've been hurting lately. After one session my range of motion is miles better, and I'm almost pain free. Really looking forward to next week.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben provided the perfect treatment for my tight hips. He not only got me quickly moving again, he gave me a daily home plan to follow to avoid future problems. Ben took the time to learn about me and my issues and was a true partner in my recovery. He is genuine, talented and a super nice guy! I highly recommend Ben and Axiom Physiotherapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Couldn't Thank you enough to Ben Shook. I had a terrible neck and shoulder pain for 4-5 months when neither any physiotherapy nor any chiropractor helped. I wasn't able to sleep and also wasn't at all productive at work. I googled and got to know about the 'Axiom Physiotherapy' and seek treatment from Ben immediately, 1 hour visit every week. Initially I was skeptical about the dry needling and manual therapy however started feeling better after 2nd visit only and within a month I'm back to normal life.

Experiencia fantástica: My hamstrings and were very hurt from many years of ballet dancing. PT with Ben was a great experience. I felt very comfortable talking to him and explaining my issues and Ben was very careful and effective working on them. I also had a few sessions of dry needling with him which helped me a lot on my healing process as well. I feel way better now! I definitely recommend Axiom Physiotherapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben has been an instrumental part of my recovery after having gone through a very difficult cervical disk replacement surgery. He not only helped me physically recover, but also gave me the confidence that I would eventually feel better and back to my normal self. I highly recommend Axiom Physiotherapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I was recently at Axiom for a running analysis and it was really informative. I was concerned about some knee pain that I am having when I run. They had me do a short run on a treadmill and then used a high speed camera to look at my form to pin point how I could strengthen myself and adjust my running to prevent more pain. It was so helpful seeing myself running in slow motion with the angles drawn to enhance my running deficiencies. I highly recommend Axiom physiotherapy to avoid pain and injury.

Experiencia fantástica: Three weeks before my first marathon my left leg started to give out on me. Ben was great at diagnosing the problem and developing the proper treatment. More importantly, he gave me the assurance that from a physical standpoint I would be able to do the race. That was a huge boost for my motivation and mental strength, and really contributed to my finishing the race. He was also a great person to simply chat with during the treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: As a physical therapist myself, I appreciate the excellent quality of care that was provided. It is important to me to receive one on one care. Ben clearly loves what he does and it shows! Thanks, Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend Axiom Physiotherapy! I had severe left hip pain that was limiting my running to just a couple of miles. I met with Ben for an in depth assessment and started PT the same week. I completed 7 one hour PT sessions (1x per week) leading up to a half marathon that I was able to run with no hip pain during or after. Ben also recommended exercises to do at home. Very professional and very knowledgeable. Will definitely utilize again if the need arises.

Experiencia fantástica: I had seen several physical therapists before I found Axiom, and none of them had been able to properly assess the pain in my hip/glute that I had been dealing with for about a year. They all just gave me band-aid fixes. Ben actually took the time to understand what was recreating the pain and how to address it. I have seen a lot of improvement in just 3 weeks. I highly recommend Axiom!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough great things about Ben Shook. He has treated me for various running injuries and literally got me to the starting line of the Big Sur marathon last year. I like that his focus is on staying active while healing (if possible) and injury prevention. Having the full hour with the PT is so much better than doing stretches and exercises you can do on your own. Plus, I truly enjoy his company and have come to think of him as a friend.

Experiencia fantástica: As a yoga teacher, I am embarrassed to say that it took me 35 years to give PT a chance. I have always been skeptical of it and I didn't understand that it could actually heal injuries. I also thought that it would involve going to a clinic where someone would stand over me counting reps while I did an exercise that I could just do at home by myself. Not my idea of money well spent. Well, sometimes when you're in pain, you'll try anything. I had this stubborn hamstring injury and despite my best efforts to rehab it myself, it kept getting worse. Someone told me that Ben Shook was the guy I needed to see. And it turns out physiotherapy is not the same as physical therapy. It's entirely hands on and is more like a focused deep tissue massage in specific problem areas. You still get the exercises, but you do them at home by yourself. Ben knew right away what imbalances were causing my problem and after just one, one-hour session I gained around 45 degrees of mobility in my injured hamstring without pain. I don't know if that is normal, but it was pretty miraculous after having dealt with the same injury flaring up for over a year. A few sessions later I was nearly 100% better and I have had no recurrence of pain since. I even had one session where I mentioned that my hand had been bothering me all week from drawing (I'm an illustrator) and he was able to completely fix it in less than 5 minutes. Not only does Ben know his stuff, he's just an all around good guy and has a no-nonsense way about him. He doesn't try to waste your time or your money on things you don't need and he won't try to book sessions with you if during your initial evaluation he doesn't think he can help. I am actually kind of sad that I don't have a reason to go see him right now, but I obnoxiously recommend him to everyone I meet who complains of any injury whatsoever and as long as he is in business he will be my go to guy for all of my aches and pains.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Ben for years for any injury that comes up. He is great at figuring out the root of the problem and helping find a long term solution. In just two sessions he was able to get my pain to go away completely. He is definitely the first call when I start feeling pain.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is an excellent therapist who provides outstanding one on one care. He works hard to ensure you heal the right way and can get back to normal. Thanks Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: I underwent three treatments at Axiom for a strained quad muscle. I had been in pain and not healing for more than six weeks until I received treatment from Ben. The space is very inviting, and Ben goes out of his way to make his patients feel comfortable, asking detailed questions for assessment and providing in-depth explanations for each procedure that he performs. I highly recommend him for anyone who has had an injury, but especially for athletes who are trying to get back in their game. Thank you so much, Ben!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben helped me get over a issue that I had been suffering with for 2 years. When you have a appointment, he actually works on you it's not like some places that have exercises for you to do in office. I was thankful that he would send video links with proper exercises to do at home. The dry needing was a big help in my recovery so happy to be back to running again!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a nasty ankle sprain after tripping while running on town lake. It lingered for weeks and went to a major orthopedic facility who recommended PT but It was impossible to get appointments. I was lucky to find Ben who is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and great at PT. He would send me video clips on stretches to do at home and would check in on me. My ankle is fine now and back to running!

Experiencia fantástica: Axiom is my go to for quality physical therapy. The appointments are one-on-one so you really get well planned individualized treatment. Ben has a diverse range of skill sets from dry needling (a must for the stubborn trigger points) to manual therapy, and more. If you’re wanting to make real changes and start feeling better then I suggest giving Axiom a call!

Experiencia fantástica: What a professional experience! I was having pain with running, and he was able to look at my stride and point out exactly what I needed to do to change my technique and get me back out on the road again. 5 stars, this is how business should be conducted!

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is amazing, has helped me with several issues in the last 6 months. He is always so friendly and takes the time to understand what he can do to help. Axiom will always be the first place I go in the future when I need help. I would and will be recommending him to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Ben is a miracle worker. He has helped me get through a herniated disc in my lower back abd is very hands on. After going to 3 different PT businesses I found him and never turned back. I would strongly recommend him and his hands on methods are better than the rest I have tried. You will get full attention and see results. Sammy Dillard

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent results right after my first session, highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Ben Shook for Physiotherapy. He treated me for a persistent foot issue. I get the impression that he is fully interested in each individual he sees, and treats them accordingly. He fitted me for custom orthotics that enabled me to continue running and walking.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband went to Axiom Physiotherapy first. I was reluctant. I thought it might hurt. He had such good results, I finally went. I was having a lot of pain from what I thought was plantar fasciitis. It was but also Achilles tendinitis. I love to walk and it kept me from being able to. In the mornings, I would hobble out of bed. I felt 90. Axiom is in a great location, really nice office. I went from barely able to walk to walk 13 miles all over Disney. I felt better after the first visit. I also got exercises I could do at home. I am continuing to go because of an overall tightness in my lower legs. I would recommend Axiom to anyone who is looking for quality care and healing. Can't rate highly enough. UPDATE 2/19: I Marie Kondo'd my knee. Overdid trying to work on my house - lifting, stairs, climbing a ladder, ... Appreciate that at Axiom there is time to find out answers to all my questions. Immediately after my appointment I can tell it's so much better. I feel like I've nipped the issue in the bud instead of potentially making it worse. I'm 51 and things are going to pop up that I haven't dealt with before. It's nice to have Axiom as a resource to keep my body functioning in the best possible way.

Experiencia fantástica: I strained my calf & was devastated at how debilitating it was & the recovery time. Ben knew exactly how to address the area for a better recovery, so I could return to my regular lifestyle. He looked at the injury holistically to identify the root cause to potentially prevent it from recurring (if possible; but so far so good ).
