ACL Rehabilitation
Our ACL rehabilitation program combines personalized exercise regimens with advanced strength testing to restore mobility and prevent re-injury. Using sport-specific training protocols developed through 6+ years of Spurs team physician collaboration, we ensure athletes regain confidence through 1-on-1 sessions that bridge surgical recovery to full performance readiness. The program includes progressive agility drills and biomechanical assessments conducted in our 35-yard turf facility.
Dry Needling
This technique targets deep muscle trigger points using ultra-thin needles to stimulate healing responses. Our certified therapists apply this method to relieve chronic tension in athletes, improving range of motion through micro-trauma stimulation that activates natural repair processes. Combined with stretching protocols, it addresses conditions like Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis while enhancing post-workout recovery efficiency.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
BFR training uses controlled blood flow restriction during low-intensity exercises to achieve high-intensity results. Our specialists employ FDA-approved tourniquet systems to safely build muscle strength at 20-30% of maximum capacity, ideal for post-surgical recovery or in-season maintenance. This evidence-based approach accelerates hypertrophy while minimizing joint stress through metabolic stress induction without mechanical overload.
Sports Performance
Our performance program integrates strength conditioning with sport-specific movement patterns using Vertimax trainers and plyometric equipment. Certified specialists develop periodized training plans that enhance power output, reaction time, and injury resilience through biomechanical analysis. The curriculum includes Olympic lifting progressions and agility ladder drills tailored to individual athletic demands across 14+ sports disciplines.
Soft Tissue Massage
Specialized manual techniques break down scar tissue adhesions while improving circulation through deep transverse friction massage. Our therapists employ myofascial release protocols to restore tissue elasticity, complementing rehabilitation with neuromuscular re-education. This hands-on approach targets chronic tightness patterns in athletes, enhancing mobility prior to strength training sessions using specialized mobility drills.

I injured my hip back in February at a powerlifting competition. I was recommended to Dr. Puckett by a previous client of his (my coach). My coach assured me that Dr. Puckett would take great care of me, and he has completely lived up to the hype. There is nothing worse than suffering from an injury that limits, or completely takes away, your ability to perform at your absolute best. Dr. Puckett understands this, and shows it through his attentiveness to the needs of his athletes and care within his practice. In my short time with Dr. Puckett (roughly 5 weeks), I have gone from having immense pain

We cannot express how blessed we feel to have found Dr. Puckett at a critical time in our sons ACL recovery. He was 8 weeks post-op, developed scar tissue and hit a brick wall with his progress. Dr. Puckett is truly an ACL expert! He is incredibly thoughtful to target the recovery to the sport your child wants to return to play. Finally and also what makes him so incredible is he spends time on the emotional side of the recovery. The mental fatigue on the long ACL recovery is equally hard for an athlete to stay out of their game for so long, but he encourages positivity and reflection on progress

My son is a professional ultimate frisbee player who tore his ACL just over a month ago. Dr Puckett responded to my out of town inquiry that very night and immediately put my mind at ease as to his approach for athletes. Not only did he help ensure my son was at the best place he could be before surgery, but he has been phenomenal for post op rehab, keeping the focus on rehab while using progressive methods to help my son optimize his return to sport. Dr Puckett continues to keep me informed via text and email since I cant physically be there. I highly recommend Dr Puckett for any athlete who

Dr. Puckett has done an amazing job on the rehab for our daughter after her ankle break. Shes about to graduate and suffered a significant break on our right fibula during Spring soccer. Dr. Pucketts rehab protocol is amazing. The positivity he shows her in getting back up to speed is priceless. I can tell her confidence is rising after every session and can see her improvements weekly. If you want to get back to the game after your injury, Dr. Puckett is a must!
