Rehabfx

My visit with Dr. Minors was exceptional. The check in process was very smooth, and I was seen shortly after my arrival. Dr. Minors was very thorough, and made sure to address all my concerns. He even took the time to go over insurance options with me when I told him I was switching companies. It’s very clear that he truly cares for his patients. His nurse Olivia was very sweet as well, and attentive. Love this place, and the people in it!

As a 50 something computer guy who recently made the transition to considering myself an athlete, I have to say, I could not have done it without Dr. Steven Minors at RehabFX. I met Dr. Minors years ago when recurring pain from a back injury stopped me cold. A good friend recommended Dr. Minors and said «He will fix you.» I said I’d had back pain «forever». He said it didn’t matter. Steven was a healer. That was over 10 years ago and I have not had any back pain EVER again.
Fast forward to my recent interest in getting healthy and resolving the aches and pains associated with running, strength training, and travel. Dr. Minors listens to the issues and works to resolve the core problem. Is it an injury due to a fall, poor form, over use (or under use)? While the correction and course of action may be manipulation, TENS, ARP, Cold Laser, more often resolution revolves around YOU and how you move, no drugs, no surgery, no pain.
Dr. Minors and his team they are health advocates. They seek alternatives to drugs and unnecessary surgery to resolve acute and chronic pain. Wellness is an overused word these days, so I saved it word the end. RehabFX and Dr. Minors are part of my wellness program. They keep me healthy and support my fitness program. I cannot recommend RehabFX highly enough!

I herniated two disks in my lower back in 2002 and have gone to chiropractors on a regular basis ever since. I moved to Austin in 2011 and was looking for a new chiropractor. I found Dr. Minors because I bought a Groupon for a massage. Dr. Minors is easily the best Chiropractor I’ve seen. He literally got me off my back and saved my trip to Chile in January of 2014. I recommend him, Ross and the rest of his staff without reservation to anyone reading this review. I’ve highlighted a few areas below that made a difference for me, including the ARP treatment that allowed me to hike Patagonia.
The Massage Groupon:
After my massage appointment, I asked him about the negative Unilocal reviews from the Groupon and he explained that he teamed up with several other chiropractors to offer the massage package. The demand for/​success of the Groupon overwhelmed the participating practices and several of them quit honoring the Groupon. He had added another therapist and was trying to honor the Groupon, but the volume was pretty overwhelming and he hadn’t been able to schedule everyone that called in a timely fashion. I brought up my back-​issue and we discussed his approach and technique for treating herniated disks. I was impressed and have been receiving treatments for the past two years.
Approach and Treatments:
My initial consultation, we discussed my injury, treatments and the current state of my back. He used a physical exam and a cool diagnostic tool that showed me an image of hotspots, points of stress and areas where my back and neck were out of alignment. We discussed the difference in treating the short term pain and a preemptive treatment plan for wellness. We talked about the cost of the treatment and he offered a discounted package of treatments because my insurance didn’t cover chiropractic care. I told him I’d like to move forward and tried to schedule my first treatment. I’ve seen a number of chiropractors over the years and he is the first to insist that he see film of my back before he treated me. Although it was a bit of an inconvenience to have it done, I appreciate the fact the he wanted to understand my condition as much as possible before adjusting my back.
ARP
My back had been «going out» approximately twice a year since 2002. When it happened, I would ice it for 36 hours and all was good. It went out in November 2013 and I did my ice/​rest for 36 hours… and it didn’t snap back. I tried different combinations of heat, ice, rest, anti-​inflammatory, stretching, massage and pain killers for a few weeks with no improvement. I went to see Dr. Minors for treatment and he told me about the ARP treatment. I did the free evaluation treatment. I felt substantially better the next day. I have to be honest, I resisted the treatment and thought I could still fix it on my own because it’s not cheap and my insurance didn’t cover it. After another few weeks with no improvement, my January 15^th trip to Chile was in danger. Not only was I not in shape to Hike Patagonia… I wouldn’t be able to deal with the 20 hour plane ride. Out of desperation, I went forward with the 1^st set of ten treatments. The result was miraculous. I went from barely being able to touch my kneecaps before the first treatment to a full workout including weights, abs, bike and running a mile the day of the last treatment. Two weeks of treatment got me in shape for a 9 day vacation to Chile including four days in Patagonia. I was so impressed with the treatment, that I did another 10 sessions after my vacation. 2014 is the first year that my back hasn’t gone out since 2002 and I’ll be 47 November 2014.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive chiropractor with a personable doctor, then you’ve come to the right place. I have been seeing Dr. Minors semi-​regularly for adjustments. I found his care to be very precise and extremely personable. I’m a patient with many questions about what exactly is out of alignment and I want to know how to work with what is presenting subluxated in my body.
I would describe his adjustments as firm, but gentle. He comes from a sports medicine background, so everything he suggests to assist in your recovery has a very functional method behind it.
In July, I had an accident where I landed full body weight on my ankle. I did all but fracture it. Dr. Minors saw me immediately and was very thorough in assessing the situation. The trauma was pretty intense and needed soft tissue manipulation which made me want to jump off the table. Instead, I laid there while screaming and sobbing as he worked to break down some of the knots that had developed. I have never felt more safe and cared for than I did in those moments. The pain was necessary to avoid stiffness and keep the mobility. I left that day actually walking on my foot.
We proceeded to use ARP (Accelerated Recovery Performance) to find the weak areas in my lower body that were contributing to the weakness in my ankle. Throughout the following month, Dr. Minors answered EVERY single one of my curiosities that came up through the process of rebuilding the muscles and strength in my legs.
A Unilocal review is meant to assess the care, the quality of service and the results of a vendor. If you’re an all-​star athlete or an average Joe and need help with your body, GO SEE STEVE MINORS. You will not regret it.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Steve Minors since April 8, 2014. I went to see him because of severe back and neck pain I was having which was the result of a minor traffic accident. I have had numerous adjustments, estim therapy, drx spinal decompression and massages to help with my recovery. Dr. Minors always listens to my concerns. I couldn’t be happier with the treatment that I receive from Dr. Minors and his staff! Thanks Rehabfx!!!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Steve Minors since August 8, 2014. My ARPwave treatment is ongoing. Before going to Dr. Minors, I did my homework. I was referred to Dr. Minors by Dr. Joshi, and I both read about the ARPwave myself, and spoke to friends who had found relief using the technology. I got to Dr. Minors 12 weeks after surgery on my right foot. The left foot had had surgery 15 months earlier. I’m a distance runner, and was suffering such severe pain that I hadn’t been on a track in months. Dr. Minors spoke with me at great length about the treatment, the diet, basically outlining my responsibilities. We have successfully worked together, and his approach with me has been, and continues to be, communication communication communication. I came in with nerve damage, scar tissue, arthritis, and bone spurs in both feet. The treatment has been helpful. No doubt about it. Not only that, but Dr. Minors has been instrumental in insisting that the ARPwave may not be the only treatment that I need. In fact, today we determined that I’ll be referred to a rheumatologist and will be getting an MRI. Dr. Minors, in my opinion, is extremely conscientious and concerned. Not with the ARPwave, but with me and my feet and my running.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Minors for several months now, originally going in for diagnosis of a chronic back pain problem that manifested in a very strange way. I’d been to a different chiropractor and two physical therapists prior, neither of whom could figure it out. Dr. Minors ordered an MRI of my back which finally revealed the problem. After two months of following a treatment plan, the back problem has been solved and I’m doing great!
Unlike some of the other reviews here, I had no introduction to this practice through Groupon; I came in as a new patient for Chiropractic treatment only, and my experience was a positive one. I found the doctor and his staff to be very flexible, nice, easy to get along with and attentive to my needs as a patient.
I can’t speak to their massage offerings at present, but if you’re looking for a good chiropractor in Austin, I highly recommend Dr. Minors.

No idea what their services are like. But their receptionists suck.
Bought a groupon for a massage from this place. Apparently the groupon was for a whole bunch of providers, and all the others backed out, leaving Rehabfx in the horrifying position of having to accommodate the 3,000+ reduced price massages. That sucks, and I totally appreciate what a predicament that is. But their customer service folks haven’t the slightest idea how to handle the problem.
I called and emailed and called and emailed over the course of 6 months, and was told on several occasions that a therapist would call me to schedule an appointment. When I finally called them today for the LAST time, I was told (rudely) that it «wasn’t their fault» over and over again. No apologies for the situation, no alternative options. I don’t need to chase down a massage in this town, and I certainly don’t need to waste my time with rude receptionists. There are far too many more pleasant options in Austin.

I was also a Groupon customer. After a lot of talk about wanting a massage, by boyfriend bought this Groupon and gave it to me as an early birthday present. I called ASAP, anticipating a big response (an hour long massage for $ 25 is pretty awesome). They told me that the waiting list was currently around two months, and to email with my availability and they would respond with some times. Apparently they only had one massage therapist, but were considering hiring another.
I figured it would only take a few days to hear something, but it actually took weeks. The times given to me as options did not reflect the information I gave them, so I waited a while and called them again. All I got was a voicemail message that said if I was calling to schedule a massage purchased with Groupon, they would not be taking any more appointments at this time. The Groupon expires in September, so I guess I’m going to need to get my money back.
This place might actually be alright, but I wouldn’t know it, and I’m not going to try to find out. If you only have one massage therapist, don’t do a giant Groupon sale.

Rehabfx was just one of the locations that offered a groupon for a massage at a very reasonable price. The directions given were to send an email to schedule a massage, which I did. The response given was that they had an overwhelming response to groupon and they have to schedule months out. Then they proceeded to give the option of getting a reimbursement from groupon. My complaint is if you’re going to do anything through groupon, you need to anticipate the response. A cap would have been nice in making sure the new customers you’re after are getting the experience with your business in the way you want them to. When I asked when they had availability, the guy on the gave a little laugh and said, «not until wayyy out.» Huh, not a fan of Rehabfx.

I went to see Dr. Steve Minors, Doctor of Chiropractic, in Austin, TX for a herniated disc and he treated it with spinal decompression and cold laser therapy. I had been receiving regular treatment from Dr. Minors for many years for various athletic injuries. When this recent ailment arose Dr. Minors went above and beyond to provide the best treatment available. With the therapy received from Dr. Minors, Rehabfx I was back at work and exercising pain free. The extra attention was really appreciated. Thanks Rehab Doc!
