Our Story

We Help People From All Walks Of Life Especially Age 40+ To Get Back To Pain Free Activities As Soon As Possible Without Relying On Pain Medications, Injections or Surgery.

Welcome to River Oaks Physical Therapy, where, our one and only goal is, getting you back to pain free activities quickly and efficiently. Thanks to our evidence-based treatment approach, our average patient visit amount is 4-6 times versus the national average of 18. We empower our patients with the knowledge and skills to self-manage, alleviate pain, and restore function. Patients experience the difference in treatment with our various modality stations.

River Oaks Physical Therapy is a credentialed McKenzie clinic, one of the handful clinics in the Houston area. Using the scientifically-proven McKenzie method of treatment means that the patients spend days rather than months in therapy and, in most cases, avoid further testing, imaging, and often unnecessary invasive procedures.
