Dr. Davis at Training Room ATX is the real deal. First off, he's just a great dude. Blunt in the best way, funny, optimistic, and clearly someone who cares deeply about doing things the right way. You can tell he comes from a military background, not because he's rigid, but because his intent is always about getting the job done with high standards and real purpose. I've been going to him for a couple of years now. I'm 38, play men's league baseball, and I'm definitely not in the best shape of my life. Still, Dr. Davis has made it possible for me to keep playing, stay on the field, and actually contribute to my team's success. More than once, he's done something in a session that made me stop and think, "Whoa... I can actually do that better than I thought." What really sets him apart is his practicality. I have a home gym, sent him a picture of it, and he completely nailed a customized workout plan around my nagging injuries: no extreme stuff, no gimmicks, just clever, realistic, practical work. I tend to play like I forget I'm 38, and he helps keep me honest and functional. He's incredibly knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, and as a teacher who's on his feet and mentally drained all day, I genuinely look forward to my sessions with him. That says a lot. Highly recommend Dr. Davis and Training Room ATX to athletes, or honestly, anyone who wants to get better. You'll be in great hands. read more

Frustrating business practices: You will be charged $75 for missed appointment regardless of excuse. I have never seen a medical office with such a strict policy. I understand the frustration and loss of production with no shows and desire to train patients (practice doesn't want patients who no show), however things happen and a one-time exception is not given here. read more

Dr Davis knows his stuff! Came in looking for a second opinion after my orthopedic couldn't figure out my hip pain and wanted to keep giving me steroid shots Dr. Davis is attentive and smart and has gotten me back to being pain free This is not your traditional 'cattle-car' physical therapy clinic (thank goodness) Because here you'll spend the entire time one on one with Dr. Davis where he will listen to your needs and thoughtfully come up with a specific program for you It's a team effort, you do have to do your homework but just like your training workouts for your next event, nothing happens by just talking about it read more

Very instructive experience. Not only solved my current problem, but taught me how to go forward

Came in because I'm marathon training and saw that Phil Davis has experience and knowledge on running. I try to find PT's who are runners and know runners very well, as I find that makes a big difference in how they understand both my pains and my training. So I chose him specially because of his bio. To my annoyance, I didn't actually get to be seen by him, just an intern. I don't want to trash the intern - she was great and very kind. But I would have been almost just as displeased had I seen anyone who I didn't specifically seek out to treat me. Plus she just had to keep running out to ask him questions and relay every part of our conversation, without me ever getting to see him (which took a lot of time away from the one hour appointment, so we ran out of time at the end of the evaluation for any actual treatment/work). I have a feeling this is a unique experience and I'm sure there is potential for this place to be fine, but was not impressed by level of effort put into patient care here, nor the personalization. TL;DR I had to pay $150 for an intern to tell me to "try running less and see if the pain decreases". read more

What an awesome place. Came here for PT after getting ankle surgery. Right away, they test you on your capabilities and write out a plan for you. After every session, you are given a list of workouts to do on your own. They even email you with diagrams/pictures on how to do the workouts just in case you forget. Everything they do is ingrained in the sports world. I told them exactly what my goals where and they were there right by my side the entire process. Culminating in me playing in my Sand Volleyball League 6 months after surgery. Highly recommend this place for anyone located near downtown. One side note. They have an automatic charge of $5 on your first visit for stim pads which I assume is because most of the clients get stim treatment. I never got the stim treatment for the 3 months I was there so not sure if that policy should be changed or not. read more

The Training Room has fixed multiple injuries of mine over the last 7 months (broken scapula, fractured heel, etc) and I couldn't be a happier client. They focus on getting you rehabbed as quick as possible vs make you a lifetime client like many other PTs. I hope I don't wind up a patient again anytime soon, but I know that if I do Phil, Blaze, and team will get me back in the game faster than any other firm - can't recommend them highly enough read more

Dr. Phil Davis is great -- I went for a weird shoulder injury, and he gave me some "weird" stretches/exercizes/treatment, and I got better -- fast. Now, I'm going again, for a calf-strain... We'll see how he does! read more

The staff at the training room are top notch. Since I started going to them for my nerve pain, my quality of life has improved, as well as my understanding of how to mitigate chronic pain. Phil and Blaze are highly knowledgeable, as well as wonderfully personable. I'm so glad I found these guys, and hope you love them as much as I do! read more

Dr. Davis is fantastic and helped me work through an injury. I highly recommended The Training Room.

The Training Room is the greatest physical therapy clinic I've ever experienced. One year ago I had just about given up on my back, I had seen 5 surgeons, was getting shots in my vertebrae ever 3 months and was moments away from a highly invasive surgery that would have fused my spine. Instead I made PT at the training room my mission and I have not had a cortisone shot in one year and feel like I have control over my back. I highly recommend them! read more

Dr. Vilas is the best. I started seeing her in 2019 for an injury I received to my upper-back and neck a few years ago. I had been to another Physical Therapy clinic for this same injury; there, I saw the actual Provider once, and was treated by a Physical Therapy Tech for the remainder of my time and never saw the Provider again. At The Training Room, Dr. Vilas was present and lead every treatment, and if she was not available, Blaze, the Physical Therapy Assistant was just as helpful. They worked with my ever-changing schedule and had availability early morning and evenings. The Providers and staff truly care about your well being and recovery. read more

The Training Room has a friendly staff and all the equipment you need. I had a bulging disk in my lower lumbar that was causing me immense pain to the point where I could barely walk and no position was comfortable for me, even laying down. They squeezed me in at the last minute and by the time our session was through, I could walk again. The pain hasn't come back since March. I can't recommend Blaze highly enough for fixing my back and saving my life! read more

I am glad that I had my first PT session at The Training Room. The PT room is very friendly and I had chances to work with Phil, Blaze, Avelina, they all are very professional with outstanding knowledge. I much appreciated all the crew that helped me to overcome my ankle injury. read more

Is it weird to like going to physical therapy? Everyone there is so nice and welcoming. Dr. Avilas takes her time with me and gets to the root of the problem. She's come up with a great at-home regimen I can follow. I've become so much stronger in just a couple months! I may even be sad if I don't go anymore ;) read more

The Training Room is a great option for people in or near downtown Austin looking for top-notch, athletic-oriented physical therapy. Dr. Phil Davis is clearly an expert who has offered physical therapy services in Austin since 2007 and at the Training Room since 2011. I visited with a minor hamstring strain and got a helpful evaluation and direction following my very first visit. The clinic puts a lot of emphasis on giving you the information you need to work on your physical ailment at home, which I appreciated. I'll be back and can confidently recommend them. read more

My boyfriend saw Dr. Davis a few years back and had rave reviews. I was seeing another PT but my back was getting worse so I decided to give Dr. Davis a shot - and I'm so glad I did!! He is supportive and patient, exactly what I needed because I'm the worst kind of patient that can't wait to get back to running or otherwise exercising. He gets you back to speed quickly and isn't afraid to let you jump back into running, etc. ASAP. He is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what was going on with my back and how to fix it, even after multiple doctors were stumped. I went from being in tears when I bent over to the side to working out almost every day again. He works magic!! One of the great things about Dr. Davis is the take-home knowledge he gives you. I still use the exercises and remedies he taught me to prevent my injury from coming back. I recommend him to everyone I know; he is certainly a PT that you can trust. Plus the rest of his staff is wonderful and so friendly, yet still professional :) read more

I'm so grateful to Dr. Davis and Blaze! I went in with a torn rotator cuff and was in serious pain/discomfort. After 16 sessions the pain is gone, my mobility is back, and I'm regaining strength in that shoulder. They are super knowledgeable and understanding. They not only helped me work through the physical aspects of the injury, but also the mental part of getting back to training, without the fear of re-injuring myself. The guys are awesome and I would highly recommend them to anybody. read more

I threw my back out weightlifting and went to see this team because they were very near to my place and I had already gone there because Austin Massage is co-located with them. I was not disappointed. My first evaluation was with Phil and he quickly got me into a position where i could at least walk better. His recommendations for home therapy helped greatly. I followed up with some PT sessions with Blaze and really liked his bedside manner. Both guys are welcoming, intelligent and observant and obviously know their respective professions very well. The entire staff is incredibly warm and friendly and that often makes or breaks my desire to return to a provider like this. While I hope I won't need their services anytime soon, I certainly will know where to go if I happen to put my back out again! read more

Got my broken *** back to where I can stay in shape without hitting a wall of pain. Phil is so effective I think he might be a practictioner of the dark arts. read more

Dr. Davis is simply awesome. He truly cares about his patients and their health - and goes the extra mile to make sure they're seen in a timely manner and taken care of. Dr Davis' credentials as an endurance athlete allow him to fully understand fellow athlete needs and issues - he definitely walks the walk! His knowledge of the human body and injuries is second to none - he's always able to pinpoint any issues I have and give insight as to why I have them. I'd recommend Dr. Davis and his staff to anyone looking to recover from injuries or simply do some strength training for injury prevention. read more

I've used Dr. Phil as my PT for two injuries in the past 4 years. Initially, post shoulder surgery for a torn laberum when he was at a different business and more recently I tracked him down for recurring lower back pain. Every time, I feel back to 100% with his guidance. Very knowledgeable and experienced, and he isn't scared to push you to get you back to working out ASAP. Tip from working with him a bit: ask him for advice on your personal work out/health plan. Even if its weird like throwing logs at a local park, he'll apply it to your situation. I gained a good amount of my knowledge from Phil that I still apply to my work outs. read more

After my wife had great results with Dr. Davis, I decided to hurt my knee just to see what all the hoopla was about. OK, that's not how it happened, but after I had knee surgery I did go see Dr. Davis and he fixed me up. He was very specific about my care and he stuck with me through a long healing process. He was so motivating that I took to calling him "Dr. Coach". His staff was also very professional and down to earth, a tough combination to pull off. But, they did it. You don't have to be a professional athlete to reap the benefits of Dr. Davis and his great staff. You just have to call. read more

Dr. Davis and his staff are professional and really know their stuff. I woke up one day with some nasty surprise muscle spasms and stiffness in my neck and shoulders. Spent about a week trying to ice/heat, drug and self-massage it all out, but to no avail. I realized I needed professional help...My wife had gone to Dr. Davis before for some serious musculoskeletal problems, and recommended him. Dr. Davis and his assistant had me do some exercises, performed some massage/therapy work on me, and sent me home with exercises to do. After my first appointment I felt 75% better, and after 2 subsequent visits I felt right as rain. I would recommend this facility for big or small issues or injuries, since both my wife and I were very happy with the process and outcome of the physical therapy, and I know a lot of triathletes that see him for problems. read more

My physician referred me to the Training Room. It was close to where I live. I had been to a couple of physical therapy places to deal with my frozen shoulders without many good results. The staff at the Training Room is pleasant. However, they overbook and don't allow a full hour for each session. Much of the hour is spent on heat while the only therapist is working with another patient. I had to cancel an appointment and left a message on their voicemail on a Saturday. They received the message before my appointment on Monday however they charged me for the missed session. Yes their policy states 24 hours but I had asked them on several occasions if they could work with me due to my erratic schedule. They indicated they would. They don't hesitate to call me incessantly to collect the missed appointment charge but have charged my insurance company for many sessions for an hour when I actually only received 20-30 minutes of actual time. I do not recommend this place. read more

I didn't have a good experience here. The PT asked me to do some exercises and was very negative about the way I was performing them (note they didn't have the equipment I normally use) so I cancelled. They then hit me with a $500+ bill after telling me they had authorization from my insurance for the sessions which they actually didn't. Somehow other PT places in town found this out but not The Training Room, so don't count on them to do any insurance verification or be subject to a serious financial penalty. read more

A physician friend of mine recommended The Training Room and I'm an ER doc myself. These people know what they are doing. Go there. Phil's level of clinical knowledge is outstanding. He will understand your issue, and see a couple of layers deeper. The whole team is great. Friendly and professional. I saw them for sports injuries, but they have the expertise and experience to deal with much more. read more

I have unfortunately gone to several physical therapists in my life, but Dr. Davis and the Training Room was by far my best experience. I went there to treat a dislocated shoulder and was able to recover back to normal well before my orthopedics' expectations. They have an extremely efficient system in place to make the most of every visit. Additionally, every single employee there was knowledgeable and exceptionally nice which made getting through the recovery process that much better. The value you get at the Training Room is the best out there for their service and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy. read more

I would recommend Dr. Davis and his staff to anyone looking for physical therapy. I have been to the Training Room for a variety of issues, and have always been blown away by the friendliness of the team and the quality of the care I receive. Dr. Davis is incredibly knowledgeable and will happily walk you through the ins and outs of your condition. You can tell he is passionate about his work. I have worked with Blaze as well, recommend him highly, too. read more

I highly recommend Blaze. I have a torn rotator cuff, causing loss of use of my shoulder. Likely I caused it with repetitive motion during my weightlifting regime. My goals are to let my shoulder heal without using steroids and to prevent future injury to this or my other shoulder. My shoulder feels "out of socket" and Blaze is the first medical professional to help me to get it back in place with stretch and massage. He showed me exercises that I can do at home to strengthen the muscles to keep my shoulder in the correct position. The MDs pointed at my MRI resolutions, showed me my injuries, and gave me theories, but never actually touched my shoulder. Blaze actually provided relief. I wish that I had sought physical therapy sooner. read more

Dr. Phil Davis is awesome. He was able to address the hip problems I have been having and helped me get to the cause. The facility is nice and new with great equipment. Their hours are great with many times that fit in your schedule. A great resource for all levels, from elite athletes or physical therapy for any injuries. If you want to feel better, make your appointment now. read more

Don't bother going anywhere else. This team of people is centrally located and highly educated. I went in for a shoulder problem and within a month, I felt better and within 2 months, I was back in the game. Dr. Courtney Clark and Blaze really cared about my recovery. Stephanie made sure all the appointment times worked for me and was extremely communicative. Seriously, worth their weight in gold. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Phil, Blaze, Avelina, and the rest of the crew at The Training Room! I am a very active adult, and along with an active lifestyle comes injuries and physical maintenance. So I am no stranger to physical therapy. Throughout my adult life I've been to several physical therapy groups for both surgery recovery and general strains/sprains, and The Training Room is BY FAR the best I've experienced. I rate physical therapists on 1) their knowledge of the body and mechanisms of healing, 2) the physical healing environment. Relative to 1), they are extremely intelligent and knowledgable people at The Training Room. They are highly trained, and I trust them implicitly. Relative to 2), the physical healing environment at The Training Room is second to NONE, and it is very much conducive to healing. The Training Room staff will chat and laugh with you about life, or they will allow you to be quiet and focus on your exercises...it just depends on who you are and how you prefer to approach treatment. To me, having interaction with the staff and getting to know them has made my own personal healing process for various injuries that much more efficient. Physical therapy can be hard and is certainly not at the top of everyone's "Favorite Things To Do List," but the combination of the clinical expertise with a positive healing environment makes me sing the praises of The Training Room. Happy Healing, everyone! read more

Dr. Phil Davis is, quite simply, superb at his profession. Whether I need treatment for a relatively minor injury or something I've been dealing with over a longer period of time, he provides treatment that gives relief. Furthermore, he educates his patients on exercises to perform in order to maximize the rehabilitative treatment provided. The result, long term solution to injuries sustained through over-training, improper training, or just plain hurting oneself. I highly recommend this professional. read more

An absolutely fantastic place to get your PT. I was happy to see all 5 star reviews on here because that is what they deserve. The entire staff is awesome and very personable. They helped me recovery from shoulder surgery and it was nothing but a great experience. Even the location, parking, and hours can be beat! Very glad I went to them for my recovery. read more

This place cut me off because I missed appointments with back pain. They treat people with injuries, but fail to show sympathy for the injuries they're treating. I cancelled a few appointments within 24 hours and missed a few. I paid a $75 cancellation fee each time, without complaint. So, the therapist essentially got to take a break due to my absence. Today, someone called to say they needed to get my credit card "on file" (apparently, they had not charged me for the last miss), then after I gave her the credit card information, announced I would no longer be served and my appointment that week was cancelled. I'm surprised this place receives so many positive reviews. read more

I broke my shoulder and arm in a skiing accident and looked around for a good PT. Luckily, I found The Training Room as they have it all. Great therapists, great staff and great attitude. If you live anywhere near downtown Austin, I highly recommend them. If you live in the suburbs, I'd say its worth the extra effort to see them. read more

Dr. Davis and the staff at the training room are absolutely outstanding. I have been dealing with knee issues for years, when I went to the Training Room I was given all the help I need to get back to 100%. It was a free injury assessment right off the bat, giving me a great idea of what my issues were. They explained all of my treatment options so simply I really felt I could make the best possible choice without feeling pressured towards one specific option. Everything about my experience at the Training Room was five stars! read more

Went in with a recently surgically repaired ruptured Achilles tendon. They took great care of me and got me walking comfortably and even jogging inside of 6 months. The treatment went very well. Everyone is friendly and very professional. Scheduling, admin, insurance etc. is very smooth. An excellent clinic. read more

I have never felt so taken care of in my life regarding my injury. I swear by Dr. Phil Davis at The Training Room because of his accuracy and knowledge in addressing my body issues. He takes the time, every time I go in for my appointment, to answer all my questions (I have a lot), and explain to me what is happening, and why (he'll even explain to you the physics of it if you want!). I am an avid ultra endurance runner, so without being able to run due to my injury, I will feel at a loss, but Dr. Davis and his super friendly and fun staff, with their confidence and upbeat attitude, help me to take my loss (of running) and turn it into an opportunity to learn and grow. I actually love going into The Training Room to see them...it's fun, and I know I will learn something new each time. I sing their praises, and recommend to anyone going through an injury to invest your time and energy into letting Dr. Davis and crew take care of you. The other great thing about The Training Room is that, since it's Dr. Davis's own practice, you will get very personalized attention, as compared to a larger physical therapy office. LOVE THEM! read more
