Austin Muscle Restoration

Working with Brandon is the best thing that has happened to me this year! I had knee surgery for a root tear 6 years ago. Despite various conventional and alternative therapies, I endured chronic pain and limited movement. Brandon is the only practitioner who took a comprehensive history of every condition I’ve ever had. He worked to connect the dots and uncover and then effectively treat the root cause of my issues. I’m now pain free, fully mobile, confident and happy! I feel grateful to everyone at Austin Muscle Restoration for the new lease on life!

It’s a miracle! I can’t believe that after two years of not being able to walk without excruciating pain, but that I know can go out and damce!I lost the use of my legs after Covid and I had minimal improvements with many different consultations.After spending thousands of dollars, I was almost ready to give up. My girlfriend introduced me to Austin Muscle Restoration. After seeing Brandon, I now have a full range of motion and my life back. It doesn’t just heal your pains but your mind as well. Take the chance, the team cares so much about fixing you and getting your body right. I thought I was going to be cripple the rest of my life but Brandon proved me wrong. I am forever grateful for this life changing experience.I can’t encourage you enough.

I already found the spine surgeon I was planning to go with as my life has been nothing to what I’m used to for the last 10 months. I had been in pain on and off for a number of years but the last 10 months were brutal. I had 4 spinal injections, months on medications, some weeks I could only walk with a brace for no longer than 10-15 mins before I had to sit down. I had 2 very large disc herniations with extrusion. I wanted my life back and nothing worked. PT, chiropractors, massages, personal trainers. I read a book about the spine industry and came across the actual treatments that work. I found only one place in Austin that had work out machines that are scientifically proven to end back pain vs surgery and all the other noice that in most cases are proven to be harmful or at the very least inefficient. It has been about 6 visits that I saw Brandon and just started using the work out machines. I’m already off all meds that I have been taking. I can actually sleep through the night without pain and I’m basically pain free throughout the day. This place is just God’s blessing and you are very lucky if you found it!Worth every dollar !!! Thank you very very much!

When I came to Austin Muscle Restoration, I had a very painful frozen shoulder that I was looking to heal. What I discovered was that I had many previous injuries down the chain of my body that were causing my shoulder to freeze up, to "help" me from further injuring myself. In just about a month after seeing Brandon, my pain was completely gone, and we were able to begin addressing the root cause of the frozen-ness, which has been a whole cascade of healing old injuries. In under five months, with coming twice/week (on average), I have regained most of my mobility. I am just about one inch away from being able to do Downward Facing Dog (a yoga pose) again. I am so grateful for Brandon, Shannon, and the whole team for giving me back my mobility. It truly is life changing.

I am in my mid 40’s and for the first time in my life I am pain free because of the work Brandon does at AMR. I have tried just about every other modality on offer over the years. Across the board they would only provide temporary relief and the pain would return days or a week later. Over the last four years Brandon has healed my pain caused by new injuries I have sustained and in between he has worked to address pain that has plagued me for nearly 40 years caused by my time playing sports as a young kid. Brandon’s work combined with the methodical and complimentary way that Stephen and Mel work training clients has left my body the strongest I’ve ever been and the most resilient against injuries.Over the years I have watched my older friends and family members struggle to be active because of pain and injuries and I decided that that was not going to be me. This investment of time and resources has given me physical freedom now and in the years to come. Thanks AMR.

I’m a longtime fan of Muscle Activation Technique, but Brandon really takes it next level combining that and other methods to get your muscles working as they should. He’s super thorough and finds all the hidden issues, from the head to the toes and everything in between. The treatments are painless and provide durable lasting results. It was so helpful to be in his care during a very physically difficult pregnancy and postpartum recovery - I feel like I’m the most dialed in I’ve ever been. Shannon is a scheduling wizard and Stephen is a patient and knowledgeable trainer. Their whole model should really be the standard of care. I send everyone I know to AMR!

I have seen Brandon as a client for the last 8 years- he has helped me overcome systemic pain due to hypermobile joints and has rehabilitated my musculoskeletal system post pregnancy. As a clinician, I have referred countless patients to AMR over the years. They have helped my patients overcome long-standing pain and have given them the ability to live active lives again. Personally and professionally, AMR has been a game changer.

As a result of injuries and age, my body hasn’t worked well for more than a decade. Over the years, I’ve been to a great chiropractic, a physical therapist for several years, and have had a personal trainer for a while. None of them helped much, if at all. I’ve been seeing Mel since April. During that time, my weekly sessions with her have helped me more, and in more ways, than I can express. I’m so much stronger and better balanced; my range of motion is much improved; my gait has improved, etc. And she is so creative in inventing exercises to help with specific problems.In short, I cannot recommend Mel highly enough.

Brandon and his team at AMR were a God send for me. After seeing several physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons I was ready to just accept my chronic injury as something I will just have to live with. Brandon would not allow me to accept this defeat. He took his time analyzing and assessing my instabilities and provided a meticulous plan of care. Brandon is very detail oriented and implemented a plan that provided me a functional and healthy outcome. I am forever grateful for the team at Austin muscle recovery.

When I first went to see Brandon, I couldn’t walk more than 20 minutes without getting debilitating symptoms from a concussion I’d had more than two years previously. I felt better after every single session with him, and the results were cumulative. He healed the disruptions in my neuromuscular system from not only the concussion, but also every other injury I’ve ever had, from broken toes and arms to a biopsy that went awry. Now I can walk, hike, run, swim, and exercise normally again. After Brandon had basically healed me up, I began working with Mel, who’s reinforcing my work with Brandon and helping me regain strength and fitness in a way that's designed to meet my post-injury needs.But just saying what they’ve done for me isn’t enough: I want to also say what fantastic human beings they are and how wonderful they are to work with. Never has anyone been more devoted to helping clients than Brandon is. He’s passionate about his work, has dedicated himself to learning everything there is to know about it, and is constantly thinking about his clients and how to help them. Brandon is also one of the best and most responsive listeners and communicators I’ve encountered in my life, let alone in health care. He took in my whole health history, seemingly committed it to memory, asked how the treatment was working for me at every stage, explains things clearly, listens to everything I say about what’s going on with my body, repeats what I say back to me to make sure I know he understands, incorporates my experience and concerns into his approach to treating me, and in every way pulls out all the stops to accommodate my priorities and idiosyncratic needs. I faced a couple of setbacks while working with him, and both times he was compassionate, attentive, and thoughtful about working with me to resolve them and redirect to get me back on a good track.Mel is equally committed to working with each client as a unique individual. She has a seemingly endless array of options for exercising different muscle systems, and that’s enabled her to accommodate my injury history. She listens to what I say about what’s going on with my body, and she’s thoughtful, creative, and resourceful about figuring out the best ways to help me meet my healing and fitness goals. Mel has eyes like a hawk—she notices every little shift in posture and form and helps me make minor adjustments that make a huge difference. She explains these things in a way that helps me remember them from session to session and incorporate them myself. She has ultimate respect for my knowledge about my own body and its abilities and limits. She quickly learned my exercise personality and gives me exactly the right feedback tailored to me. She helps me trust myself and also avoid overextending myself, which I might be inclined to do otherwise. And she has a positive attitude and a brilliant smile.I mainly work with Brandon and Mel, but Shannon and Stephen have also been generous, kind, thoughtful, and helpful in my interactions with them. Everyone at AMR is knowledgeable, caring, and committed to their clients’ healing, fitness, and wellness.
