History

Established in 1994.

Hands On was started with a strong desire to have a Myofascial Release based therapy practice in Round Rock/​Austin areas. I had been using Myofascial Release with my patients since 1988 and was amazed at the results that I was seeing. I had been working in a hospital based, out-​patient clinic. It was getting more and more difficult to justify one on one, hour long treatments with the hospital administration.

Hands On has attracted therapists who have that same desire. Myofascial Release is the type of technique that you have to experience personally to be able to be effective as a practitioner. This is what makes Hands On such a great place. Our therapists have a passion for the work. It’s an important part of their personal practice. Our staff has extensive manual therapy training and we incorporate all of our skills to find the best mix for our clients. Hands On provides Physical, Occupational and Massage Therapy.
