Frisco is an active community, and we know getting better often means more than simply getting out of pain.
You may be trying to return to a sport, get back into the dance studio, recover after surgery, keep up with your workouts or simply move through everyday life without thinking about what's hurting.
At AAPT, your treatment starts with you. We look at how you move, what's limiting you and what you want to get back to doing, then build your plan around those goals.
Physical Therapy Services We Offer for Frisco, TX Patients
No two people move exactly the same way, so no two treatment plans should either.
Our clinic works with patients recovering from orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical restrictions, building hands-on treatment around the specific demands of your daily life or activity level.
Our Aquatic Therapy program pairs pool-based sessions with resistance jets and real-time movement monitoring, often working alongside land-based physical therapy as strength and weight-bearing tolerance improve over the course of treatment.
POINT RESET®
Developed by Dr. Cody Johnson, DPT, ATC, POINT RESET® is Athletic Advantage Physical Therapy's own approach to addressing nerve communication and restoring movement in patients.
Dry needling is often used for muscle tightness, trigger points, and areas of chronic tension that haven't fully responded to manual therapy or exercise alone.
Our team addresses technique-related strain, overuse injuries, and traumatic dance injuries with a functional, whole-body assessment.
The program is designed to complement a dancer's regular training and rehearsal schedule, addressing the small mobility and strength gaps that don't yet show up as pain but tend to become injuries under enough repetition.
Using a movement-first evaluation, our team identifies the faulty patterns behind an injury and addresses them directly, helping athletes return to competition stronger and more resilient.
A dance screening identifies the strength, mobility, and control gaps most likely to lead to an injury.
A sports screening evaluates athletes' movement, strength, and mobility to catch imbalances that can lead to injury.
Pre & Post-Surgical Rehab
Preparing for surgery, or recovering from it, is easier with a structured plan behind you. We work with patients before and after procedures to rebuild strength, restore movement, and support a smoother, more confident recovery.
Recovery & Performance
Recovery is about building the strength and movement quality that keeps you performing at your best. We help patients move past the point where pain resolves, focusing on the underlying strength, mobility, and movement patterns that support long-term resilience.
Signs You Need Physical Therapy
Pain or stiffness doesn't have to be severe to be worth addressing. These patterns are a good reason to schedule an evaluation rather than wait it out:
-
Pain or stiffness that lingers more than a few days or keeps coming back
-
Discomfort that changes how you sit at your desk, sleep or get through your commute
-
Pain, tingling or weakness that travels into an arm or leg
-
Reduced range of motion in your neck, shoulder, back, hip or knee
-
Pain that flares with specific activities, like running trails, lifting at the gym or a repetitive motion at work
-
An old injury that never fully resolved, or one that's changed how you move without you fully noticing
If any of this sounds familiar, a physical therapist can evaluate what's contributing to your symptoms and start building a plan around it.
How Athletic Advantage Physical Therapy Treats Frisco Patients
Every plan starts with a thorough evaluation of how you move, what's limiting you, and the specific demands of your sport, job, or daily routine. From there, Athletic Advantage Physical Therapy applies The Reset Method in three stages:
-
Reset the nerve: Hands-on treatment calms the irritated tissue or restriction driving your symptoms, rather than just chasing the pain around.
-
Reeducate the muscle: With acute symptoms under control, your therapist rebuilds strength, control, and coordination through exercises chosen for your specific sport, position, or activity level.
-
Reinforce with movement: A take-home plan carries that progress into practice, competition, or daily life, so the gains made in the clinic actually hold up once you leave.
Where it fits your case, your therapist may add POINT RESET® or dry needling to target a specific restriction, or aquatic therapy for a lower-impact way to keep moving after surgery or injury. Every technique fits inside AAPT's core physical therapy framework and adjusts as you respond to treatment.
Conditions We Commonly Treat

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need physical therapy?
If you are experiencing pain that limits your daily movements, like struggling with stairs, standing, or walking, physical therapy can help. You should also consider scheduling an evaluation if you are dealing with a sports injury, lingering back or neck pain, radiating leg pain (like sciatica), heel pain (plantar fasciitis), or if you are preparing for or recovering from a surgery.
What should I expect at my first physical therapy appointment?
Your first visit is all about you. We don't use generic templates. Instead, you will sit down with one of our specialists to discuss what’s bothering you, how the pain started, and what activities you want to get back to doing. We will evaluate how you move and build a personalized plan using our unique Reset Method, which may include hands-on treatment, guided exercise, and a home program.
Do you offer aquatic therapy, and how does it help?
Yes! We are proud to offer aquatic therapy using a state-of-the-art HydroWorx underwater treadmill. This is an excellent, low-impact option for Frisco patients who find land-based exercises too painful early in their recovery. The reduced weight-bearing environment of the water is perfect for knee injuries, post-surgical rehab, and severe joint pain, helping you build strength safely before transitioning back to land-based exercises.
What is the difference between Dry Needling and POINT RESET®?
They're related but separate treatments that serve different purposes. Dry Needling targets specific muscular trigger points in tight, overworked muscles tied to neck, shoulder, or back pain. POINT RESET® is an approach developed by our founder, Dr. Cody Johnson, DPT, that uses a thin filament to reset nerve communication and address deeper imbalances. Either one, both, or neither may be part of your plan, depending on your evaluation.
Do you treat local Frisco athletes and dancers?
Absolutely. Because Frisco has grown into a highly active community, we offer dedicated Sports Physical Therapy for school, club, and recreational athletes to help them recover and safely return to play. We also offer specialized Dance Physical Therapy and a Performer's Body Program tailored specifically to the unique mobility, pointe work, and turnout demands of dancers training at local studios.
Can physical therapy help with my sciatica and radiating back pain?
Yes. Sciatica and back pain are two of the most common conditions we treat. Rather than just treating the spot where it hurts, our clinicians evaluate your mobility, strength, and daily movement habits to find the root cause of your radiating pain, numbness, or tingling. We then build a targeted plan to restore your normal movement and get you out of pain.
