- Thorough assessment of mobility, core/hip strength, and movement patterns in your first visit
"Puckett Physical Therapy has helped our daughter make great progress since her concussion in cheer. Her visual concentration, balance, and therefore, confidence has improved dramatically over the last few weeks."
Evaluate
We test range of motion, strength, and provocative movements (sit, bend, lift, walk) to pinpoint the pain source.
Treat
Manual therapy, mobility, and personalized loading ease pain while reinforcing healthy spine mechanics.
Progress
Each week we raise capacity—sitting tolerance, lifting, walking—so daily tasks and workouts feel easy again.
Reduce pain, rebuild strength, move confidently
Morning stiffness, sitting pain, and flare‑ups after activity don’t have to be your new normal. With the right plan and coaching, most backs respond quickly—and keep improving with consistent, smart progressions.

Here’s what patients say after starting shoulder physical therapy in San Antonio, TX.
"Dr. Puckett is a tremendous physical therapist. Had 2 shoulder surgeries last year and went through months of so called PT after 2nd surgery. Totally wasted my time. Had hardly no strength in shoulder when I started seeing Dr. Puckett."
-Mike Scotten
"I've only been getting PT for a month. The mobility in my shoulder is better than it's been in over 1 year. Dr. Puckett is amazing. We went through a number of exercises until we found the ones that weren't too painful and made huge progress."
- Chad Elseth
""Dr. Garcia has been proactive reaching out to her surgeon & her high school athletic trainer. Puckett PT is comprehensive and attentive to my athlete's needs & I couldn't ask for more. Traditional PT was practically leaving her to her own devices”

Do I need an MRI before starting PT for back pain?

Many feel relief in 2–4 visits as irritation calms and strength improves. Timelines vary by condition and goals.

Yes—targeted mobility, strength, and activity modifications often reduce symptoms and restore function. Plans are individualized.
Will I be able to lift and exercise again?
For most people, yes. We’ll build a graded return‑to‑lifting and activity plan based on your tolerance.
