Sculpt U Physical Therapy at Illuminate Heights: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I was sent by my doctor to get some PT. I have seen Anibal and Marvin. Both have been outstanding in helping me get my shoulder moving back to a good condition. I will continue getting the PT with Sclupt U so I can play pickleball with no pain.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan was excellent! Ricky was great too! Marvin is putting out great content as well. Y’all check them out!
Fantastic experience: Always on time! Dr Eby is a very special and professional addition to the Sculpt U organization. Her interest and professional attention makes for a gratifying experience.
Fantastic experience: Death is no longer near with the highly professional, skilled, knowhow of Dr Ryan at SculptU. My hip is now ready for holiday travel and swim workouts. Plus Ryan is able to partner with my trainer to get me back in shape for 2024! Thank you Ryan for your expertise to help me heal at the gym!
Fantastic experience: I am seeing Dr. Nathan at The Heights location. He is treating me for injuries I received as a result of motor vehicle accident. As complicated as my condition is, he has recommended all the right treatments. He is very dedicated and knowledgeable. Not to mention, exceptional skills on manual therapy technique. If you are ready to make significant impact on recovery journey, and ready to work hard, I strongly recommend Dr. Nathan. I am truly thankful for his exceptional care.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Patient Attention and Care. I was able to recover much faster than expected.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan has really helped me as I was experiencing quite a bit of knee pain. After careful evaluation, he came up with a program, and I have been working with him for 10 weeks strengthening the muscles supporting my knees. I no longer have any pain. “Heal in the gym” has truly worked for me.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr.Brian Parr with SculptU. Worked to get my plantar fasciitis under control and pain free. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and always made sure to check in with me post sessions. I’ve recommended him to many of my peers at SACC. We are very lucky to have him there!!!
Fantastic experience: Brian Parr is a fantastic physical therapist. He actively listened to my issues, thoughtfully developed a therapy plan, and actively worked with me to accomplish my goals. He checked in along the way and made sure I had the best possible outcome. I highly recommend him!
Fantastic experience: Excellent attention, good service from Dr. Nathan Cao of therapy. I recommend the classes and exercises; they helped with my neck and the left side of my rib. The methodology of a series of exercise sessions. Excellent
Fantastic experience: Ryan and the entire Team at Sculpt U are class acts. Don't go if you are expecting a generic PT plan handled by a bored therapist splitting their time between different patients -- that's not what you are going to get here. What these guys and gals do instead is one-on-one, highly-specific and tailored physical therapy to your situation to get you rehabbed and back out into life. You get their full attention, focus, and skills -- all of which are world class. I went to Ryan to PT for ongoing PRP injections following multiple rotator cuff tears in both shoulders. My mobility and strength were shot. Ryan focused on how both shoulders operated as a whole and how to get everything firing and going again. Night and day difference than another provider I went to for post-surgery PT 18 months prior. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan has shown tremendous knowledge and understanding of his work. I’ve seen drastic improvements in my mobility after my car wreck, as well as decreased pain in moving.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr Ryan & your team at Sculpt U. I made a choice years ago when I decided to do everything I could to avoid pills & surgeries as I got older. I knew it would take hard work & a Village to accomplish this. You did an assessment & worked with me on exercises & other measures that relieved a problem that had defied so many other attempts to find the solution. I like knowing I will be able to check in periodically to make sure I’m still on track. You have made a difference! Linda C
You are a rockstar Linda! I loved watching you progress, session after session. Always here when you need!
Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable and very professional..This has been a huge part of my recovery and rehabilitation. Kudos to Dr. Parr!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Crystal is amazing!! She has helped my husband so much with each and every session after his surgery. She has helped him recover a lot quicker than we expected 100/10 recommend!
Fantastic experience: I want to thank the ScultU team for everything they’ve done for me. Specially Denaye! She’s very professional and caring. She has changed my life, she takes her job to the next level. I went from 10 out of 10 pain to zero. It was a life changing experience. I can’t thank you enough! Alvaro F.
Fantastic experience: Went to Brian Parr at SACC to address some annoying muscle imbalances that I have tried to resolve for years. I was a skeptical patient as I have been to a number of other professionals. I always get temporary relief but nothing ever held. After an intense 8 week program, I came away with new insights and new ways to improve my situation. Brian thinks outside the box to come up with solutions. He is also readily available to answer questions and concerns and give you the time you need. Now it is up to me to keep up the work, but I know I have a resource to always go to if something flairs up or changes. Thanks Brian!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Crystal is the best pelvic floor/orthopedic PT ever! Resolved all my symptoms and not only got me back to normal but better than ever! Highly reccommend her! She's amazing!
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Brian Parr, PT, DPT, for several weeks and have never felt better! He has helped alleviate arthritis pain in my hand as well neck, back and shoulder issues. I highly recommend Brian!!
Fantastic experience: Brian Parr in San Antonio is wonderful! He is very knowledgeable and has helped me so much!
Fantastic experience: Wow! What an incredible asset to your company. My husband has been working with Brian Parr for quite some time now. Not only is he a smart, responsible, and perceptive, physical therapist, but he also includes the positive attitude that transfers to my husband’s disposition. My husband performs, in his sessions, with the greatest effort he has, and that is contributed to Brian. Alzheimers affects so many physical and emotional parts of a patient’s life. Brian is truly a gift from God, in all areas, that keeps my husband encouraged and eager to work out.
Fantastic experience: Brian has done an amazing job helping me with my lower back problems. He is courteous, professional and great to work with. I am very happy with my results!
Fantastic experience: Brian Parr is an excellent PT! I have learned so much about my body, and have improved motion, flexibility and reduced pain significantly with his help! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: PT Parr of Sculpt U is hands down the best PT I have ever worked with. His thoroughness, professionalism and technique are second to none. He is a true miracle worker. He has helped me recover from ankle surgery and I am thrilled with our results. He is also helping me with my TMJ and the results so far are amazing. I am so grateful to have found him.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Brian Parr is an outstanding physical therapist. I have had 10 fusions (my entire lumbar spine and 4 in my cervical spine). Brian is helping me tremendously with my low back, my legs and feet. The exercises and his therapy are helping me take less medication and helping me fell much better. I am confident that as we progress I will continue to advance and feel much better physically. I am very grateful for his treatment. And, he is an incredibly fine person and very nice guy. Wendell Hall
Fantastic experience: Working with Brian Parr on my shoulder has definitely been a good experience. The progress we have made on getting rid of this shoulder pain has been incredible. Would definitely recommend SculptU physical therapy to anyone experiencing any type of pain.
Fantastic experience: Where do I start ? I walked into my first session not knowing what to expect. I decided to do PT after months of debilitating pain from a chronic injury & old age . Haha . Not only is Crystal gooooorgeous she is professional , cheerful , knowledgeable and so sweet ! I have a medical background and let me tell you Crystal knows her stuff . My pain has decreased and I cannot wait to benefit from my sessions even more.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Dr Crystal, you are so profesional, patient and kind. I fell much better now that I back to walk one hour again.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Crystal is the absolute best! Our nine-year old daughter had to have double-hip surgery 18 months ago and was required to sit out from all athletics and PE for eight months after the surgery. This caused her to lose her physical endurance, muscle mobility and strength. Dr. Crystal has given all that back to her and more. Plus our daughter absolutely loves going to her appointments and loves proving to Dr. Crystal how strong she has become! We would recommend to all of our family and friends. 10/10!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Crystal is The Bomb!! so thorough, so competent, so knowledgeable, so compassionate and tremendously wonderful personality. Makes PT enjoyable and rewarding on many levels!! Thank you, Dr. Crystal and SculptU and the Houstonian Club!
Fantastic experience: Dr Crystal has been an incredible source of recovery both physically and mentally. She is knowledgeable and encouraging so thank you for helping be an integral part of this challenging recovery.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan Ardoin is a true professional in every sense of the word. He helped me rehab my knee after surgery, and it feels much better/stronger after several PT sessions. I highly recommend working with Ryan and his team at Sculpt U!
Fantastic experience: Sculpt U use of innovative techniques combined with immense knowledge has given me the best physical therapy with the best results i have ever experienced. I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Nathan for the professional service and advice for the speedy recovery!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Nathan Cao is an awesome physical therapist. From the first day I walked in, he made sure to understand what all my pain points were so he could design a plan to get me better. Throughout the sessions, he always listened and made adjustments when I shared new information. He also advised me well on what home remedies I could do. Overall, a 10/10 experience.
Fantastic experience: Patient: looking at alternatives to increase chance of meeting your goals
Fantastic experience: Dr crystal at Sculpt U is Amazing, very professional, caring and knowledgeable in all that she does! She listens to her patients and design the best care possible... I'm very glad to have met her!
Fantastic experience: Dr.Crystal Okenkpu is incredible she absolutely cured my knees and is an incredible person with a beautiful heart and soul with an amazing personality 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: Crystal was a huge help with my shoulder pain and getting me back to normal quickly!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Crystal at Sculpt U for knee pain. When I first started, I could barely walk and within a few weeks, not only was I walking, I was back to exercising and playing pickleball. I appreciated her knowledge and professionalism during my treatment. Also, she was very patient and kind and was so grateful she was MY therapist! Emily Vaughn
Fantastic experience: Crystal is the best!! Works with you, super friendly, and understands what you need!
Fantastic experience: Crystal was referred to me for my ankle and I see why!! Not only is her advice insightful and informative (although deferring to my surgeon she suggested the same treatment plan my doctor advised). She has given me confidence and encouragement as well as physical therapy! Thanks SculptU for placing me with Crystal!!! ❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: I had the best physical therapy experience with Dr. Crystal Okenkpu. She was very diligent, knowledgeable, and motivating. I started off physical therapy with a walker, to a walking cane, and finally to walking in a matter of weeks. Dr. Okenkpu exceeded my expectations, and i would highly recommend her to anyone in need of physical therapy.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Crystal’s experience and expertise helped me overcome my injuries. The exercises and stretches focused on all of the major points that were hurting and soon enough i was back to 100 precent.
Fantastic experience: Gordon Peace does great work. I was battling some hip/lower leg issues and found relief in 1-2 weeks of a couple of easy exercises that he had me work through daily. Great facility and would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing recovery process ! Crystal Okenkpu made everything so easy and was extremely helpful in getting my knee back to its full potential! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I wish I had found this place ten years ago! My friend told me about Sculpt U and so I wanted to try something different than my past experience of a doctors office just wanting to inject medicine. My goal was to find someone that could help me figure out why my body was having issues with alignment while doing squats and some basic strength questions. I started out with Carli and learned a lot about myself. She was really great and had to move out of Houston, so shout out to her and a thank you! For the past month I have been working with Denaye for my therapy. Denaye is very insightful and so good at seeing and sensing the details on body work. She has helped me unlock some stuck energy in my body which was surprising and amazing. She has good communication and is patient while still convincing me to do the hard things for my own well being. Thanks Denaye.
Fantastic experience: In just a few sessions with Sculpt U, my severe neck and shoulder pain has been nearly eliminated. I highly recommend working with Denaye, who is knowledgeable, effective, patient, and fun. I love that she thoroughly explains what she's/we're doing and why, which allows me to develop a better understanding of what is going on with my body and also empowers me to take control and make changes to prevent the same thing from happening in the future!
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Dr. Denaye Eby at Sculpt U for several months now. I went to Sculpt U because I was having pain in my knee and neck. I noticed a distinct improvement after the first treatment and I have noticed continuing improvement since. Dr. Eby is pleasant to work with while still being a tough task manager. I heartily recommend her and Sculpt U for your physical therapy needs.
Fantastic experience: The level of detail and attention to care that Dr. Ryan provided was excellent. I fully recommend
Fantastic experience: Sculpt U is indeed the next generation of patient care. The "Big Box" PT centers fit you into their set protocols. Ryan works with me to use his extensive knowledge to tailor a plan that works for me. It is always one-on-one so you are the focus, as opposed to sharing your time with at least one other patient. Ryan and the staff truly care about your total health and I alway know I'm in good hands. A shout out to Kelli who keeps the clinic running smoothly and the patients happy. She is a gem!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sculpt U to anyone who is researching top level PT in Houston. Dr. Denaye was able to help me run pain free before my first Half Marathon! I had been experiencing severe hip pain for several months after long runs while training for the half marathon. I started seeing Dr. Denaye about four weeks prior to race day. She helped me understand what was causing my pain and showed me how to strengthen key muscle groups to alleviate the pain. After only two sessions I was feeling so much better and more confident in my running. I continued to see Dr. Denaye two days per week leading up to race day, and I was able to run pain free! I can’t thank you enough Dr. Denaye!
Fantastic experience: I came here with a broken shoulder and drop foot. I now have total use of my shoulder and arm so now am working on my foot. Dr. Denaye has been working with me and showing me how to walk and control my foot with strengthening exercises. Highly recommend Denaye, she has fixed me! I might just move in here!
Fantastic experience: Dr Carli fixed me right up. I have had shoulder pain for decades. Old ski injury? Rotator cuff stuff? Made me crazy. Ached anytime sitting around and forget sleep. Carli determinedly jumped in w an initial plan and kept modifying our exercises till the muscle figured out she was the boss and started getting progress right away. Such a can-do attitude. Weeks later I’m a better person. Feel healthy and full of it. Glad we did this. We will miss Carli! And say thank you and wish her well on her way west.
Fantastic experience: I first went to Sculpt about 2 years ago to learn more about fitness and weightlifting from Dr. Clay. Dr. Clay made me feel confident in the gym and inspired me to make lifting a huge part of my life. Since then, I’ve been back many times working with Dr. Denaye on refining my form in the gym and my routine, as well as working on some PT issues. I really appreciate Sculpt’s emphasis on using the gym to recover from injury, as well as the emphasis on long-term solutions via changes you can make in your routine independently. I would especially recommend Denaye as we’ve had such a great time working together (even when dry needling), I learn something new every session, and she always goes above and beyond for me.
Fantastic experience: Working with Dr. Denaye Eby at Sculpt U has been a game changer for me! I was getting worried when I started experiencing knee pain during my half marathon training with race day being three weeks out. Denaye thoroughly educated me on the root cause of my pain and gave me the proper physical therapy exercises that allowed me to run the half pain free AND crush my pace goal! My experience with Sculpt U has been fantastic and has inspired me to take my fitness goals to the next level. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: I was involved in a pretty bad accident in late September 2022 and was referred to Sculpt U for PT concerning my lower back and neck. Denaye was my gal and she was excellent. Always asked questions and listened to me around where I was feeling pain.
Fantastic experience: Denaye and the Sculpt-U team were awesome to work with to get me back to and above my previous fitness levels. Beyond the actual sessions they were extremely accommodating with my hectic schedule. If I ever need more PT I will be going back.
Fantastic experience: I love my PT Dr, Denaye Eby! A torn meniscus and numerous consults with surgeons led me to start PT in preparation for surgery and possible knee replacement. Finding SculptU and my therapist Dr Denaye has saved my knee from extreme surgery options as well as my sanity. Debilitating pain kept me from walks, climbing stairs etc and any usual physical activities. With a whole body approach geared towards strengthening, flexing and supporting muscle groups I’ve been able to confidently resume workouts, Pilates, “soft” hiking etc. I rarely have back pain now and stairs are no longer a challenge. With Dr Denaye I’ve learned a sustainable method to heal, strengthen and maintain a healthy routine going forward. She is highly qualified, knowledgeable and totally committed to improving and maintaining my mobility. Her optimism, humor and positive personality makes even the most challenging sessions fun:) Thank you Dr Denaye and SculptU!
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have worked with Sculpt U during my rehabilitation after my wrist surgery. I mostly worked with Dr. Denaye and she was the best therapist I could have asked for. Her attention to detail, care, expertise, professionalism and creativity was above and beyond. I would highly recommend her and the Sculpt U team for anyone in need of any type of physical therapy. Forever thankful!
Fantastic experience: Denaye is extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, and caring. As a woman I felt the most comfortable training with another woman as PT can be very hands on- Denaye was every bit as skilled/strong in the adjustment department. Thanks to Denaye and the entire staff at SculptU my back and neck pain is better than it has been in a very long time. Would highly recommend SculptU to anyone in need of PT.
Fantastic experience: After 2 PRP injections and follow-up therapy with Dr Ryan, I've experienced a 90% improvement on my torn rotator cuff. His sessions are a combination of his therapy on you (massaging, needling, stretching, mobility) and hard work for yourself to meet your goals! I have been extremely impressed with my results and will have my teenage boys go see him during their sports seasons.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sculpt U to anyone who has shoulder pain. I am only 24 years old but have been working through a shoulder pain for the past 5 years and finally decided to get a professional to look at it. After the initial assessment, they were able to identify what the pain was, what was causing the pain, and how to develop my shoulder muscles to help alleviate the pain. I have had trouble performing pressing movements in my workouts (like bench press) for a few years now because of my shoulder pain but after visiting on my first session, Sculpt U equipped me with an in-depth warm up and strengthening program that allowed me to bench press pain free just a few days later. I went in for a follow up later that week and continued to learn more about how my thoracic spine and rotator cuff mobility were lacking. ScupltU's ability to actually teach what the issues were was super helpful as I do not currently live in Houston. They do have an app that has all the exercises online so that I can continue to progress despite not actively living in Houston. I definitely recommend Sculpt U to anyone having shoulder pains.
Thanks Bryce! Glad we were able to help on your trip to Houston.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Dr D on a complex hip issue. She was able to identify and address areas of weakness. The entire team is exceptional.
Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Ryan and the rest of the team (especially Kelli!). I have seen multiple physical therapists in the past and they were either too inexperienced or seemed to be much more interested in their phones than my therapy. Every aspect of my therapy with Dr. Ryan has been meaningful and productive. He is a wealth of knowledge and has a sneaky sense of humor that helps take some of the sting out of more painful stretching/manual manipulations. Also, every interaction with Kelli has been awesome! She is extremely friendly and on top of the scheduling, even with my need to change dates periodically. Besides that, she just seems like a genuinely nice person with a big heart. If you are reading this review, you are more than likely experiencing pain. Do yourself a favor and call Sculpt U to take a step in making it go away. So far, it's worked great for me over the past couple months.
Fantastic experience: Sculpt U (and Dr Carli specifically) really delivered results which successfully avoided shoulder surgery. I went from having near zero internal rotation in my shoulder, and for sure going to have surgery, to very quickly for sure not needing surgery. I can’t say enough good things about how professional the practice is. Highly recommend and give 5 stars for sure.
Happy to help, Andrew! Great work
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dr. Clay and the Sculpt U treatment team. Two of my boys have worked with Dr. Clay multiple times for different sports related injuries. One of my boys had seen numerous other medical professionals and PTs due to a painful injury, with no clear diagnosis or improvement. I felt as though we had exhausted all other options when we found Sculpt U. Dr. Clay did a thorough exam allowing him to uncover the root problem. He then began an intense and intentional plan of treatment. Dr. Clay and the other therapists also do a great job of getting athletes back in shape and ready to return to play. After seeing their impressive results, I decided to tackle my own chronic back pain, having had over a decade of lower back pain. After 3-4 months of working with Dr. Clay and following his treatment plan, my back pain was completely gone. I still follow the treatment plan consistently and have been free of back pain for over a year. Whether you are a student athlete or an adult, Sculpt U is able to address a wide range of physical therapy needs. I highly recommend them.
Jane, It has been amazing watching you grow over the last year and it has been a pleasure getting to know you and your boys. Excited to see you build on the foundation you have developed this year! Dr. Clay
Fantastic experience: Sculpt U is amazing, and probably unlike anything you have experienced because of their knowledge and skill set in repairing and rehabbing the human body. They are extremely knowledgeable, going way beyond the skill set and knowledge base of even great PT specialists. Both of owners, Ryan and Clay, are Ph.D’s in their field and they hire equally qualified and experienced professionals to work with them. They are are also super fun to work with—their locations have a great vibe. They brought me from having a chronic painful limp (old injury) to doing squats and presses with no pain—none! They are the best!
Fantastic experience: Ryan was fantastic to work with. I went in with knee pain and almost no range of motion in my shoulder. I left a few weeks later good as new!
Thank you for the review Zaid!
Fantastic experience: Signed up with Ryan as a last resort for serious back issues that had been getting progressively worse over two years. Within the first few sessions began to feel improvements and within 60 days I was 80% better. Have been improving ever since and would highly, highly recommend Sculpt U, Ryan and staff. Literally a life changing decision for the better. Worth every penny.
Fantastic experience: The treatment I received for my hip injury was excellent. The PTs are incredibly knowledgeable and committed to personalized, one on one injury rehab programs.
Thanks Amy! You are amazing :)
Fantastic experience: With the onset of back/hip pain and accompanying sciatica, I was shuffled from one medical specialist to another, prescribed numerous medications and received pain management injections, all providing no relief. Sculpt U was recommended to me by a friend and one of their former patients. I had received care at two other PT clinics with no success, so I was reluctant. But boy am I glad I followed their advice. Beginning with my evaluation session with Dr. Clay and throughout his entire treatment process I felt continued improvement. The one-on-one approach at Sculpt U, coupled with Dr. Clay's detailed explanation for underlying pain and instruction on how to manage it, has ended my six months of misery. Dr. Clay provided me with a series of safe exercises to strengthen my back with a promise of being available if I need further treatment. The Sculpt U facility and treatment approach is far superior to any other form of PT, and I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you, Dr. Clay!
Thank you for the Comments Susan and we mean it when we say we are available whenever you need. So glad you are feeling better!
Fantastic experience: By far best therapy I’ve seen in Houston! Top notch facilities, scheduling was a breeze and the PT spent a full hour with me and figured out my issue fast. Would recommend 100%.
Thank you Blaise!
Fantastic experience: I suffered an IT band injury and was also suffering from lower back pain. DR Ryan was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable and helped me understand the reason for the pain I was having. During training and exercises he was very encouraging and very helpful in strengthening the areas where my injuries occurred. I am grateful he was able to help me through the issues I was having.
Fantastic experience: I had Gordon Peace as my PT and would highly recommend him ... particularly for tennis related injuries and ailments. He is very informative, and the strengthening exercises he used for me worked well. He will push you just enough to see improvement week to week.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Dr Ryan @Sculpt U to find some sort of relief from tendonitis in my elbow & an arthritic neck, it was becoming really depressing. He was great! Every session we’d start by discussing how I was feeling & he’d try different types of therapies on me: dry needling, cupping, fascia scraping. As well as some serious deep massage, adjusting & manipulation (not always that comfortable during the treatment), but it always felt so much better afterwards. Dr Ryan’s approach to healing is dependent on specific exercises which he’s given me to do at home. These are brilliant. As soon as I feel a flare up or discomfort, I work through the exercises & any pain I have either disappears or is greatly alleviated. The best part for me, is not once, did he tell me to stop working out. I continued my workouts throughout the therapy (some lighter weights & some modifications on certain exercises) but, as a fitness coach & gym lover, I never had to step away from that. I highly recommend this fabulous team of PT experts. They take great care of you (Kelli is the most efficient & organised assistant, ever) & their knowledge & communication is fantastic. Great location too @The Houstonian club.
Fantastic experience: Dr Gordon Peace helped me rebuild my strength and confidence. I needed help from a professional physical therapist and SculpU was perfect!
Thanks, Brian! Happy to help!
Fantastic experience: The staff at Sculpt U were extremely helpful and attentive to my needs. Having recently broken my ankle, I was in a lot of pain and found myself limping after workouts. With the help of their PTs, I was able to rehabilitate to a point where I am pain free, and can move with ease and confidence. I highly recommend Sculpt U to anyone looking for experts to suit their physical therapy needs.
Fantastic experience: I am a long-distance runner who has worked with Dr. Ryan for two years now. I am older, but, nevertheless, run high weekly mileage. This combination can lead to injury easily, but my weekly "injury prevention" sessions kept me injury-free and strong during my recent marathon training cycle. I enjoy the sessions for the therapy provided, the exercises prescribed and the banter with Dr. Ryan and Dr. Clay.
Fantastic experience: I injured myself at the gym where Sculpt U is located and needed some physical therapy to assist in healing. I worked with Nathan Cao. We had four sessions together and he did a great job of designing progressive exercises and techniques that built up in intensity over time as my strength slowly built back up. I had very specific goals in mind that pertained to having a stronger yoga class and he helped me strengthen areas with the injury as well as other areas that are resulting in a stronger yoga practice. These techniques and exercises are things I will continue to do post injury to continue to build strength and flexibility. He was patient, kind and thoughtful.
Julie, thanks for the kind words. We’re so happy you not only were able to heal your injury, but take those tools and integrate them into your regular routine for maintenance!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Nathan was very professional and knowledgeable, made me feel comfortable and I learned a lot in every single therapy, learned not only how bad my posture was and what caused my injured on my left knee but also what to do to avoid a new one. Thought me great exercises to improve strength and mobility and my recovery is awesome. I am back to hike with not pain at all. Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Ryan to build a return to training plan after having two surgeries in 2021 neither of which prescribed any physical therapy. Ryan did a great job assessing my areas of pain and weakness and we built a plan to get me back to training. Very knowledgeable and practical.
Fantastic experience: Great experience overall. Dr Ryan was excellent, made me feel comfortable and explained everything that we were doing. Went in 2 month ago with shoulder and upper back pain - I wasn’t able to lift anything overhead that was over 10 lbs. 2 months later, I’m almost back to 100 percent. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: 5 stars. After one month of cramping and pain in my lower back, I finally gave in and went to see Clay at Sculpt U. I had a very positive experience- from diagnosis, to helping relieve the pain, to learning the appropriate stretches and exercises to help correct this. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Sculpt U did a great job. While my doctor said I need physical therapy, she also said I would need to change and reduce my workout routine. Instead, Sculpt U adapted and added certain routines to increase my strength in the effected area. This did the trick, significantly reducing pain and improving flexibility. If you are looking for a company to not only take away your pain but get you back to the gym, Sculpt U obviously has what you need. Also a great and friendly team!
Tom, it was great working with you to keep you in the gym and staying strong!
Fantastic experience: I went from not being able to lift my foot, to 100% in just under a month with physical therapy. Ryan was super nice and understanding. Would recommend to anyone needing PT.
Fantastic experience: As a physician, I have extensive experience with other "big box" physical therapy groups. While they are not bad, the level of education, attention, and intensity of physical therapy I have received through Scult U with Dr. Clay Ardoin after my joint replacement has been a completely different level than that which I have received, and seen my own patients receive, at the other physical therapy centers. Many other physical therapy centers give their patients a very small portion of the hour with the physical therapist and the remainder of the time is spent on the main PT floor where (usually) a technician is monitoring several patients, all doing instructed exercises/movements. At Sculpt U, what I have experienced is ONE FULL HOUR, one on one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I cannot stress enough the importance of proper post operative/ injury physical therapy in order to maximize future function and pain. I am 100% confident I am getting this at Sculpt U and would highly recommend this group even it is not the least expensive option with or without insurance.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Dr. Gordon Peace. He listens to my concerns, answers my questions, is very knowledgable and well-trained, and is always prepared for our sessions. His demeanor and personality are easy-going and he is pleasant to work with. He will push me when I need pushing. I have enjoyed our work together and feel that he is helping me make progress towards may goals. Definitely worth it! Give him a try!
Fantastic experience: I first came upon SculptU by watching a webinar that included my regenerative doctor Dr. Adam Weglein and doctors and physical therapists from SculptU. It was highly recommended that once I received treatment for my knees that SculptU could design a plan to work with me over a set period of time to further strengthen my knees and also develop an at home plan of exercise to continue my journey. I spoke with Emilio at SculptU who recommended Nathan Cao who specializes in working with knees in this area of physical therapy. Each week Nathan worked with me one on one getting me to work out on leg machines, bicycles, standing exercises, and many techniques that I had not experienced with previous physical therapists. Nathan is very professional and kind. He made these PT sessions for me something I looked forward to on a weekly basis knowing that by the end I would be in much better shape than when I first walked in the door. Many kudos to Nathan and please continue to provide this excellent service. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Guys are sharp & very good at their craft. 10 Stars....
Fantastic experience: Pro athlete level sport therapy. Dr Cao was excellently competent in diagnosing my sports injury and his prescribed training regimen freed me if pain very quickly.
Fantastic experience: I had the good fortune of being referred to Clay and Ryan at Sculpt U for a few injuries that developed, for me, over time. I had a torn rotator cuff, hip impingement and 2 bulging discs. I also had the good fortune of working with both Ryan and Clay; Ryan for my initial assessment and Clay for the duration of my rehab. No particular reason why it worked out this way, but I was lucky to experience both Ryan and Clay’s expertise, in-depth knowledge/education, and professionalism. I can honestly say they took all my injuries into serious consideration when developing my rehab protocol, a 360 degree approach, not just isolating one and ignoring the others. Clay was in constant contact with my referring physician updating him on my progress. He developed a plan and much to my surprise, never once said I had to stop all activity, which was a huge concern of mine. He developed a plan that allowed me to actively recover from injuries, while working closely with me on all rehab exercises and workouts ensuring my form was perfect and all movements coincided with any limitations my injuries caused. I can honestly say I am now able to do my full workout with loaded weight and my form, tempo and routine feels more efficient and effective. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I always felt supported in my recovery. Oh and since they have multiple locations I was always able to find a convenient appointment time. I HIGHLY suggest Sculpt U if you are dealing with any PT/rehab issues. If recovery, maintenance and improvement are your goals, this is the place to go! Thank you Clay and Ryan!
Fantastic experience: The team at SculptU is fantastic. Jeff at the Houstonian was great to work with. He carefully listened to my symptoms and situation so that he could cater a program for my frozen shoulder. In a short period of time I felt relief and got increased for flexibility and strength.
Thanks for sharing Larisa. You are the best!
Fantastic experience: Outstanding place with most knowledgeable therapist I have seen Helped me twice for two very different problems The best
Fantastic experience: My experience with SculptU has been awesome. I was experiencing some of the worst joint pain and weakness in my life, and it has disappeared after working with Dr. Ryan Ardoin. Ryan is a great guy and expert in his craft, who ensures that we're making progress and having fun each session. He has empowered me by teaching me how my body works, coaching me through a daily mobility and strength program, and inspiring me to get into the best shape of my life. I also appreciate SculptU's team - Dr. Jeff Tsao has been great for alternate sessions, and Emilio has been helpful for booking sessions that fit my schedule. This is my first time doing serious rehab, and it is transforming the way that I live in a very positive way. Thank you, Ryan and SculptU!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Gordon Peace, Physical Therapist, with Sculpt U @ The Houstonian club was exceptional in pin pointing my needs and directing me towards exercises specifically designed to continue to address and strengthen my problem areas. The rooms were excellently equipped, comfortable and clean. Dr. Gordon has a gentle, knowledgable approach. He disappeared a knot in my neck that had been there over the past year. I had a bundled muscle in my left arm which completely relaxed with a couple of needling procedures. I am in my early 70's, the services Dr. Peace performed on me were just what my bodying needed in keeping me comfortable and toned, as I age. I highly recommend Dr. Gordon and will follow up with him for any future needs. Judith Steelhammer ,
Thanks so much for sharing! Patients like you keep us loving what we do every day :)
Fantastic experience: Over the years I've injured both shoulders, bicep and lower back. Some of the injuries were serious to the point I could no longer workout effectively or without severe pain. Each time I've gone to Clay at Sculpt U he has identified the problem, applied an effective treatment and given me exercises and/or stretches to prevent reinjury. Anytime I have a new injury, Clay is the first person I call. I've been 100% please with the treatments and results.
Fantastic experience: I see Dr Clay. This is my second time. He rehabbed my lumbar fusion and now he is helping me heal from my 5 level cervical fusion. I cannot think of any non-surgical service that I have received that has been more life impacting than the commitment, knowledge, care and healing that I receive from Dr Clay and the staff at SculptU. After my second surgery I waited a long time to begin PT due to covid. It was a bad decision. I also tried 4 other PT solutions before coming back to Dr Clay. Now I know better. If you are serious about your body and if you care about your long term strength and flexibility to be able to go and DO life, then there is no alternative that I have found. Additionally, I saw two highly recommended PT groups prior to my surgeries. There is no comparison. Dr Clay is young, and he will become the type of clinician that people will all know for his stellar reputation. He will be “the one to see”. I’m happy that I am able to see him now - when he still has availability. I can honestly say that he cares about me. He truly cares, and his knowledge is vast. He himself is a very serious athlete. I could go on and on. I love him. I’m grateful to him, and I can’t say enough complimentary things about him. If you are looking to heal and become better, fitter and more confident then stop here. Your search is over.
Fantastic experience: My doctor recommended Dr. Clay for a back injury I sustained twice in the span of 6 months, which never healed properly on its own. Clay took the time to walk me through all of the root causes of the pain and immediately drew up a recovery plan after the first consultation. Within a week of the plan, I had more than half of my range of motion again in my neck and back. Before the plan, I could barely turn my head left or right. Clay takes the time to explain why I was the feeling the pain, how to treat it and how to develop a recovery plan that would strengthen the muscles and prevent this from happening again. In addition to helping with my back pain, Clay helped correct a number of other posture issues and weak muscle groups I didn't realize I had. I would definitely recommend Dr. Clay and his team for anyone needing physical therapy or general health and wellness care.
Fantastic experience: Today I have completed my eighth session with Dr Ryan Ardoin. I am completely satisfied with the quality of care I have received and I am back to playing racquetball after a multi month refrain because of shoulder issues. Dr Ardoin was able to quickly pinpoint the issues and provide multiple types of skilled treatments for my shoulder ranging from application of pressure points, massage and strength exercises. There was never any pain and he always asked is there was any discomfort. During the two months of sessions little items would come up such as a knee sprain tight hamstring muscles and Dr Ardoin was always attentive to address other items as well. I highly recommend Dr Ardoin for any type of physical therapy. Harry Green
