Expert Sports Physical Therapy in San Antonio, TX
Get back to your sport, pain-free and stronger than ever with 1-on-1 care from board-certified specialists who worked with Spurs team physicians
Don't Let Incomplete Rehab Keep You on the Sidelines
You're an athlete who refuses to settle for average. So why accept cookie-cutter physical therapy?
Sidelined by Recurring Injuries
You've tried traditional PT, but the pain keeps coming back. Generic treatment plans don't address the root cause of your sports-specific movement patterns, leaving you vulnerable to re-injury.
Stuck in Cookie-Cutter Programs
Pain meds and ice only mask the problem temporarily. You need real solutions that address the root cause, not just cover up symptoms until your next game.
Losing Performance & Playing Time
Incomplete rehab means you're returning to competition at 70%, not 100%. Every game you miss, every practice you sit out, is a setback to your goals and athletic development.

"Dr. Garcia at Puckett Physical Therapy has been great. As a student-athlete, having my body moving and functioning at its best is extremely important to me. He takes the time to explain the purpose behind each exercise and how it supports better movement and performance. I'm noticeably stronger and experiencing much less neck and back pain. Professional, courteous, and very personable, I highly recommend."

"I've had an amazing experience with Dr. Abraham Garcia at Puckett Physical Therapy. I came in with a low back herniation, and he has been helping me get better. He listened to everything I was feeling, explained what was going on in a way I could actually understand, and created a treatment plan that truly worked for me. He also performed dry needling, which made a huge difference in relieving my pain."
-Kyle Wilkerson
"I've been to Puckett Physical Therapy before, and they helped my knee tremendously—I didn't need therapy again for two years! After recently re-injuring my knee, I came back and have already seen great progress in just two weeks. Dr. Knapp is an outstanding physical therapist who truly cares about his patients. I always look forward to my sessions and feel confident I'm on the right path to full recovery."

2. How long are physical therapy sessions at Puckett PT?
Every session is a full 60 minutes of 1-on-1 time with your dedicated physical therapist. Unlike traditional clinics where you might rotate between staff or share your therapist's attention, you receive undivided focus on your recovery and performance goals.
3. What should I bring to my first sports PT appointment?
Wear comfortable athletic clothing and bring any relevant medical records, imaging results (X-rays, MRIs), or physician notes if you have them. Also bring the athletic shoes you use for your sport so we can assess your movement patterns accurately.
