The Kilo Physio

"I met with Ted at Liberation Barbell Club in Austin & he became my coach/PT this part of March 2021 & it was easily one of the luckiest & best decisions I made. From the beginning, I could tell how humble & kind Ted was and took as much time he could to understand what I had gone through with previous injuries & pain points I had in my body. He made sure to do his proper assessments and come up with an initial workout/PT plan that became more customized to my body as he learned more from how my body reacted. We set in person check ups based on how I am doing throughout my workout/rehab program. At first, I wasn’t too sure how this would work if our in person meetings were very limited but Ted is a great communicator by making sure you have everything you need. Ted would give guidance/tips & address anything that causes pain through descriptions or videos of exercises that you do. I’ve dealt with lower back pain for many years and never thought I would be able to do heavy lifts like squats or deadlifts. However, Ted has been the only one to get me past that point and this is the strongest I’ve been. Even with setbacks at times, Ted reassures me that it is a part of the process and I always bounce back & make a lot more progress. Thanks for everything thus far Ted and I am excited to see how far we will get! If you are like me and have a heavy internet in weightlifting & tried a ton of different PTs, Chiropractors, Doctors, etc with minimal progress on your pain then its time you meet with Ted."

"I worked with Ted around April of this year to address a shoulder injury that had come up for the second time. I saw another PT before him who basically only gave me exercises to fix the pain and not ones the addressed the real issue. It’s been over 6 months since I’ve seen seen Ted and this is the longest my shoulder has been pain free. I was able to be pain free in about 3-5 weeks after initially seeing him and I’ve incorporated the exercises he prescribed to me in my everyday workouts. I’m very happy that my shoulder is as strong as ever. Ted has been the only PT that actually saw some of the main compound movements I do and told me what corrections I should be making. If you are powerlifter/Olympic weightlifter or anyone really (active or not active) Ted will listen to your needs and the lifestyle you are striving for to help get to the root of your issue. I’ve had bad PT experiences in the past, but my experience with Ted has led to my first successful and preventative PT therapy. This is the longest I’ve gone without shoulder pain while doing the most shoulder related exercises in my life. Thanks Ted!"

"I recently started working with Ted after years of a dealing with a recurring back injury. Ted’s approach is different from any clinician I’ve worked with. To start, he actually watched me perform the lifts before doing any other diagnosis. In that one session, he gave me a bunch of tips on things he saw that would improve my lifting overall, rather than focusing solely on the issue of back pain. Most importantly, Ted takes the time and effort to listen to his clients, understand exactly how they move, what their goals are, and how he can help. Working with him is more effective than the average practitioner because of the level of effort he puts in as well as his attention to detail. He will continually check in on you and modify his prescribed treatment based on how your body feels and how you’re changing and responding to the treatment. If you're looking for at PT who is extremely knowledgeable about all things related to movement, especially in the realm of powerlifting and weightlifting, there is no one I would recommend more."

"Ted was extremely helpful in assessing the nature of my shoulder pain and recommending a plan to rehab & return to normal lifting. I was able to recover within 2 months of working with Ted and have been lifting pain free using his strengthening & mobility protocols. He was also kind enough to connect with my coach to implement his recommendations into my programming, so everyone was on the same page to help my recovery. Furthermore, we only required 1 session to diagnose and make the recovery plan. Well worth the time and money spent!"

"Dr. Ted has been my fitness coach/rehab coach since July 2019. I originally approached him due to pain and tingling in my right thigh during squatting. Through videoconferencing, he conducted an initial assessment of my body movements/etc., diagnosed my source of pain/discomfort, and prescribed a set of stretches to increase my mobility/flexibility. After 3-4 weeks, my pain during squatting disappeared and hasn’t returned since. What I like best about Dr. Ted is that he listens to and thinks carefully about what your goals are because he truly cares about helping you achieve them. He’s accessible through multiple avenues of communication. He provides feedback through videos of your lifts, asks about your workout after each one through messaging, and makes changes based on what your share with him. He patiently listens to and solicits ongoing feedback while maintaining a calm and positive demeanour. He helps you cognitively reframe your behaviour when you’re feeling down or unmotivated to help keep you on track. In less than 6 months, I’ve gained several inches of muscle everywhere including achieving 2.5” of growth in my glutes. I recommend him highly if you need a professional with a rare mix of physical therapy knowledge, lifting experience, and motivational techniques who will provide a holistic exercise program that you can trust to keep you physically safe while optimizing your physique goals and maintaining your motivation."
