Physical Therapist · Coach · CrossFit Athlete · Austin, TX
Miguel Perez, PT, DPT
ICE Physio Certified Specialist: Fitness Athlete
Background
Rooted in Central Texas,
trained for elite care
A Round Rock native and proud Austin-area local, Miguel earned his B.S. in Biomedical Science at Texas A&M University before completing his Doctor of Physical Therapy at South College in Knoxville, Tennessee. He returned to Central Texas with a clear mission: bring clinical excellence and athletic insight together under one roof.
Miguel's clinical home is the outpatient orthopedic setting, where he has treated a wide range of diagnoses — from spine pathologies and sports injuries to joint replacements and complex post-operative care. His approach is thorough, evidence-based, and always tailored to the individual in front of him.
Patient specialties
Conditions Miguel treats
Miguel has developed a focused expertise in conditions that are often misunderstood or undertreated — areas where the right hands-on care can make a transformative difference.
Neck pain
From postural strain to nerve involvement, Miguel addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Back pain
Whether acute or chronic, lumbar or thoracic, he builds individualized programs that restore pain-free movement.
Headaches & migraines
Using advanced cervical and craniomandibular techniques, Miguel targets musculoskeletal contributors that are frequently overlooked.
Jaw pain (TMJ disorders)
With advanced certification in craniomandibular rehabilitation, he offers specialized care for TMJ dysfunction that goes beyond standard PT.

Where rehab meets performance
Coaching the whole athlete
With more than six years of coaching experience, Miguel understands what it takes to guide people toward their goals — whether that's hitting a new personal record, moving without pain, or simply feeling more capable in everyday life. He meets every client where they are and builds a path forward that's both safe and genuinely challenging.
Three-plus years in CrossFit has given Miguel something you don't learn in a textbook — he knows what it feels like to push your limits, battle through fatigue, and respect what your body needs to recover. That lived experience shapes how he coaches and how he treats. He bridges the gap between high-performance training and injury-smart movement so you don't have to choose between the two.

Outside the clinic
Beyond the work
When Miguel isn't in the gym or treating patients, you'll find him spending quality time with his wife Sandra and their two dogs, Ollie and Evie. That balance between hard work and the people (and pups) who matter most is what keeps him grounded — and it's the same balance he encourages in everyone he works with.
Philosophy
"Movement is medicine. Whether you're a competitive athlete, recovering from an injury, or just getting started — you deserve care that's rooted in science and driven by your goals."
— Miguel Perez, PT, DPT
