 I love these guys! I’m a therapist and that job requires a lot of sitting which, if you read Jarod’s article in Austin Fit, you know is never a good thing. After a really busy time I ended up with back, hip, knee and foot pain. Jarod and Ben got me functioning again and back to comfort. They have different but complimentary styles. They care about their patients and they know what they’re doing. Really five stars aren’t enough!

 After suffering from chronic, debilitating and excruciating pain from PLANTAR FACIITIS for almost a year, I had given up all hope of ever being able to walk without pain again.  By a miracle I stumbled upon Carter Physiotherapy. They made some custom orthotics for me and I could walk pain-free within two days. And my pain was so bad that I had to use a cane or crutches to get around on some days. I even went to three podiatrists who all used very conservative treatment methods which didn’t help me at all. I highly recommend Carter Physiotherapy. They get to the root of the problem and fix it.

 I really appreciate the intelligent and considerate approach taken by Dr. Carter. I have had a sore Achilles tendon for over a year; he listened to me and laid out a plan that has worked well. He clearly cares about the client and the result. He approaches his work with professionalism and is a top guy to boot.

 Jarod Carter, PT, DPT, MTC, CSCSI had been having pain in the upper part of my left foot for four months and after seeing two doctors I was merely told to take some Advil and stay off of my foot. As a stylist, it’s very hard to stay off of your feet all day. After a great review I heard from a friend I went to go see Dr. Carter myself. He really spends time to get to know you, your life, how and when the pain started and where the pain is located. After fully examining my foot he began to work on my foot and within seven or so minutes (this is my best way to describe it) he had moved the bruised and painful area out of my foot. Literally, he massaged the ball of bruise out of the center and down and out of my foot. I have been pain free since after one session and I would love to give him more than five stars, but I can’t. The amount of knowledge Dr. Carter has of the human body and all its inner workings is so extensive, but he remains the most humble and genuine doctor I have ever been to. Since he does not take insurance, Dr. Carter spends the entire hour with you discussing your problems and providing therapy. One session and you’ll be a believer please check out his website if you have to take PT, because 1-2 months of PT at a clinic would only take 1-2 weeks with Carter Physiotherapy.

 I highly recommend Dr Carter to anyone I know who is experiencing muscle pain or injury.  I’ve seen Dr Carter for injuries and pain associated with my TMJ issues, and he has been amazing.  Once, right before I was supposed to go on an extended business trip, I sprained my ankle.  I made an appointment hoping that he might be able to relieve some of the pain.  I was surpised, however, that after one session he had completely restored the full range of motion on my sprained ankle and eliminated all of the stiffness and pain I had been experiencing from that sprain. I had no idea that was even possible!

 I didn't know what to expect from a telehealth PT session, but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and effective my session was. Dr. Carter gave very clear directions and led me through movements for him to watch to determine the source of my persistent foot pain. By doing movements for him in front of the video, he could determine where the tightness was, and gave a thorough program to address the issue. He explained these things clearly in the session, but also recorded small videos as he was explaining them to drop into my recommendations list for reference in the future. The recommendations/resources provided after the session exceeded expectations. Dr. Carter is organized, utilizes every second of the session, and is truly skillful. My foot feels better already in doing my prescribed program. He is honest and recommended we meet again in two weeks, not weekly because he did not feel it was needed. I would highly encourage anyone who is on the fence to give a telehealth session a try. Well worth my time and money! Dr. Carter, THANK YOU!

 I had torn ligaments in a bad ankle sprain and received PT from Ben Shook. His treatment was amazing and very knowledgeable as he also took the time to explain what he was doing and how the ankle worked. He followed by e-mail not only in between treatments but after completion to see how I was doing. It was always easy to get appointments which is why I chose Carter Physiotherapy as getting appointments for in-network PT was a week out and were not guaranteed the same therapist. I would highly recommend Ben and Carter Physio.

Jarod was great! He worked with me on my plantar fascitis and tennis elbow, and over time they both went away, and he gave me great information on how to prevent them from coming back. Great work!
