The key is for the patient to feel empowered by the process and regain the ability to move and live life to the fullest.” John Birlin, PT, DPT, is a long-time Texas resident, originally born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. He has lived in Texas since he was six years old and relocated from Austin to his current location four years ago.

Specializing in orthopedics and pediatrics with a focus on sports medicine, John brings six years of experience to his practice. He is certified in dry needling and holds membership in the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Throughout his career, John has had the opportunity to treat patients ranging in age from one month to ninety-nine years, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to patient care. Outside of his professional life, John is an avid golfer and passionate supporter of the Texas Longhorns and Dallas Cowboys.

He was not as attentive as I expected him to be. Especially for first time visit. He seemed to be looking past me at what was going on with other patients.
