Cathy – (60’s)
“I have a grandson and I love to get down with him and play on the floor and I wasn’t able to do that. Now I’m able to get up and around and play on the ground with my grandson. All the things I couldn’t do before. The people who work here treat you like part of the family.”
Bess
Bess was starting to feel unsteady on her feet and, while she hadn’t had a fall, she was concerned she might and wanted to avoid it. She came to Natural Fit Therapy after seeing an ad in the Austin American Statesman and, after a few sessions working 1-on-1 with our physical therapy team, Bess says “my feet have learned to dance again” and she’s able to catch herself if she loses her balance now. Way to go, Bess!

“I had just had back surgery. I could not get in my bed… I had trouble actually getting up and down out of a chair. [Physical therapy] worked for me.”
Jerry & Loretta – (80’s)
“He did a wonderful job on me, on my sciatic nerve … I’d had it for many many years, 10 years or more. …I don’t have the problem anymore. Thank God.”
Sherran – (70’s)
“I had problems with my knees for 10 or so years. I’ve had injections in them but the last few didn’t really work. I didn’t want surgery so I decided to try Natural Fit Therapy. I’ve had about 12 sessions of physical therapy and now I can sleep and get up off the floor without any pain.”
Donald – (90’s)
“I couldn’t get my legs to strengthen. They just wouldn’t strengthen up like when we do these calf exercises and everything. It’s just … I mean, it didn’t take long for me to tell the difference from what they were and I was telling my son, I said, ‘That’s the first time that my legs have been strong in several years.’ I said, ‘I didn’t think there was any remedy for it.’”
Roger – (80’s)
“I was fortunate enough to come in contact with Natural Fit Therapy, and talk to them about my problems, and what I needed to do. We started a physical therapy regimen which helped me to move from the wheelchair to the walker, and then to the cane, and then eventually I was able to walk without any assistance.”
Robert – (60’s)
“I wanted to be taller again. I wanted to be my height again, and I wanted to get out of bed without a backache, and I wanted to just get out of bed without help. Now I just swing my feet off the bed, pop right up, and my back is so much better.”
Julio – (30’s)
“I’ve had back pain for 14 years that started with a car crash. I was kind of at the end of the road and not sure I’d try anything else. Here at Natural Fit Therapy I actually found a long term solution.”

“Very positive experience that I found to be very helpful in addressing issues of balance I have begun to encounter in my mid-sixties. The therapists were very pleasant to work with such that I enjoyed the sessions and looked forward to each appointment. I was surprised with how much it helped me and I recommend it highly and without reservation.”
Bob C.
“First of all, this is Joyce Coleman making this review on my husband’s Google account. I have been going to Natural Fit Therapy to improve the strength in my legs and improve my balance. My therapist has been Desiree who knows a variety of ways to strengthen my muscles without causing pain. All of the staff are friendly and encouraging. Ryan Seifert, the owner, has had a lot of experience in the physical therapy field and was one of two finalists in the 2021 Best of the Best Austin Community Awards. I recommend this place to any senior citizen who wants to be stronger and have less pain.”
Dorothy S.
“I am more than delighted with the expert treatment at NFT. Desiree has all of the expertise not only of a physical therapist but is talented in acupuncture and chiropractic techniques as well. Years ago I had a right torn rotator cuff, Now I have injured the left one. The treatment I received before cannot compare with the care I am getting now. Desiree works on my neck and back to stretch and strengthen the entire area. I had worked with her earlier on balance as well. I have had both hips replaced and had broken my foot and back. She adjusted my left hip and improved my gait and balance. Could not be more pleased.”
Charles P.
“I used Natural Fit Therapy (Christa Ordonez was my therapist), last year 2020 for an issue with my lower back and they were fantastic. After my sessions It really helped my back and I was given exercises to continue doing when I work out each day. I continue to have no issues with my back. I highly recommend Natural Fit Therapy!!!”
Diana B.
“Best physical therapy EVER. Emily and Michelle are wonderful.
They’re knowledgeable, competent and caring. I certainly have been
happy to work with them after two knee replacements. Bar none they
have the best team and achieve quick results and bring you back to health.”
Jordan F.
“I recommend NFT to anyone serious about regaining movement, getting rid of pain, or strengthening a weak area. I’ve recently (within the past couple of weeks) come in for PT for my shoulder, and I am astounded at the improvement. I now have just about all my motion back, and the pain has at least been cut in half, and I’ve only just started my sessions! I cannot possibly sing higher praises for the hardworking staff either. Everyone in there is friendly to their core, and more than happy to help out with every step of the process. Thank you Shayla for helping me get my shoulder back on track, Dr. Ryan for getting me on board, Kym for helping with everything in between, and Victoria for helping me with my initial call!”

“Natural Fit Therapy is a physical therapy clinic that I am very glad to have used for about a year now. There are many features that I have used in the past pandemic year as our community social distances. Right now the most important feature to me is the one-to-one physical therapy sessions. I have been to two other physical therapy clinics in the past few years. And while they were good, there were two clients to one therapist in every session. Working with Natural Fit Therapy I have found that having the undivided attention of my physical therapist is absolutely wonderful and considerably more useful to my treatment. I have loved having Christa and Desiree as my physical therapists and their focus and attention is superb. Their knowledge and expertise is fantastic. I describe a pain (burn, ache, stabbing, twinge, etc) and point and they know precisely what muscle, tendon, nerve, etc is causing it. One more very important feature of the entire staff led by the owner, Dr. Ryan Seifert, is the strong empathy for the clients health and sincerely wanting to help us feel better and function normally and willingness to work patiently with us.
Natural Fit Therapy has worked to offer workshops and include exercise classes and physical therapy through remote venues such as zoom and doxyme. I started with a one hour seminar on preventing falls (since I have a history of falling). Became interested in the balance zoom exercise class. Started participating in other online exercise classes. I think Natural Fit Therapy has resumed offering in-person sessions and classes, however I plan to continue taking the online exercise classes from the convenience of my home as long as they offer them. The physical therapy sessions have greatly helped my back and sciatic pain and I look forward to a maintaining a more pain free future with the help of Natural Fit Therapy.”
Gary K.
“I had right shoulder pain for last few years, visited 2 orthopedic shoulder doctors, both recommended reverse shoulder replacement. I looked it up…OMG. I went to Natural Fit with pretty low expectations based on previous experience with physical therapy. Natural Fit is very different! With Desiree‘a knowledge, procedures and attention to detail my shoulder pain is no longer a problem. This has been a very positive experience for me and greatly exceeded my expectations. Thank everyone at Natural Fit. A Great Team!”
Anita G.
“My experience at Natural Fit Therapy was extremely positive. Krista was very professional and very sweet to work so hard to help me get better. I felt that there was so much movement I would never be able to do. But she was always upbeat and very positive at what I could do. She was right. I’m almost 74 and I know that I will continue to improve doing daily exercise. I highly recommend Natural Fit Therapy. Thank you for allowing me to share my experience. This took place in 2019 for about 3 months. This was for both of my knees.”
Frank R.
“I did my PT using the virtual tool Doxme. It was excellent. My therapists were expert in pinpointing my issues and had easy to understand treatments that brought significant improvement to my areas of pain and lack of mobility. Highly recommended.”
Kathleen B.
“I have been working with Desiree for several months and am very pleased with my progress. She has helped me move from a walker to a cane and now we’re working on my walking with no assistance. Desiree has a positive and friendly personality, but she also is constantly challenging me to keep improving. She listens carefully to my concerns and comes well prepared to work on my current needs. I’m very grateful for her guidance and efforts!”
Bess S.
“I have only good things to say about Natural Fit Therapy. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. The facility is clean and quiet.”
Hugh H.
“I’m 86 years old! I went to NFT to improve my body usage, and to avoid getting totally rusty, during this virus thingy. They accomplished that goal. I am now able to participate in the benefits of a fitness center, and their various workout machines. I had gone to NFT earlier last year; they helped me overcome a pulled hamstring in my left leg. Super talented folks!”
Roz S.
“My husband and I made the almost hour trip to his office because we found his care to specifically meet our needs. I had been to other physical therapists who only provided supervision of my treatment, and I wanted specific answers and suggestions. Ryan is good at getting to the root of any problem and then encouraging you along the way to better health. My husband’s problem was more balance related and mine was mostly lower back pain. I assure you he will take a personal interest in your needs. Give him a chance to prove it!!”
Teddy W.
“I didn’t know how useful PT could be until I found NFT! I was referred to a Neurosurgeon by my primary care for my lower back issues after months of going back and forth! I’d been dealing with shoulder pain for months and being handed a list of exercises to do didn’t work since I was in too much pain to do them.
Ryan very patiently worked with me, explaining why and what he was doing each step of the way.
I now have better range of motion in my arm without pain than I’ve had in years. My strength and endurance for walking and standing has increased to the point that I will continue to put off surgery. This was easily the best investment I could make in my physical health! Thank you! A happy and mobile 70 year old Veteran.”
Roger D.
“I had an accident breaking my pelvis and ribs which is quite painful. After 3 weeks of doing nothing but feeling no better I decided to try therapy. The therapists with Natural Fit Therapy were awesome. They know exactly the exercises that would attack the painful areas. I explained my objectives were to become normal once again; to be able to exercise, drive my car, go back to line dancing. With their help i was able to accomplish my goals and now I am pain free.”
Lacey R.
“Highly recommend Natural Fit Therapy! Recently, I experienced a prolonged period of dizziness. Standing, bending over, and really anything other than sitting made me dizzy to the point of vomiting. After my family physician recommended visiting a physical therapist to see if it was an inner ear issue, I visited the Natural Fit Therapy team! The therapy I received was effective and (finally) has me feeling normal again! I highly recommend them for your PT needs, and will never go to anyone else!”
Liam H.
“If you’re looking for quality one-on-one physical therapy, then this is your place. They genuinely want to help you reach your recovery goals and give you 100% time and attention. I broke my ankle skiing and after having surgery, Ryan has been great in getting me back to my old self. You’ll get full and complete attention here.”
Kenah B.
“I suffered a movement based injury and had no idea what was going on with my back. I went to various “Chiropractors” who said they knew what the issue is and how to fix it. But, when I went in all they did was the bare minimum and did nothing to alleviate the pain AND I still didn’t know what the issue was!! I had heard about them from their site, they had a free discovery session. I had booked one immediately and In that session they told me what the issue was and the steps they would to take. That same day we were able to set up a payment plan. Now, I am still a student and don’t have very much money. They were able to come up with a plan and schedule that worked with me. The process wasn’t easy though because it does require you to have some homework and do some exercises on your own. But, if you can do that it is definitely worth it. 6 Weeks later my pain is completely gone and I am back to being able to move, pain free! The staff at Natural Fit is awesome and friendly, definitely check them out.”

“I first met Dr. Ryan Seifert on the phone after calling about his ad in the Austin American Statesman. I found him to be very pleasant and easy to work with. After a free consultation at his office we started a program for my specific needs. I had been through other rehabilitation programs because of falls and then weakness in my legs. I saw results after a month on the program he designed for me. I continue to see him when needed and highly recommend Dr. Seifert for any of your rehabilitation needs.”
Gail I.
“They are wonderful! I’ve been working with both Michelle (PT) and Mary (PTA) and both are great! I’ve made excellent progress in both my strength and my balance.”
Martha B.
“Injured myself working out. Met with Ryan, who provided a thorough exam. We discussed things I needed to implement in order to address my pain issue. I still have some discomfort, however implementing his recommendations is progressing me daily to functioning without pain.”
Paul
“The best physical therapy I’ve ever received. Ryan and the entire staff are top notch. Highly recommend!”

“They do a great job, I fell a lot better after going to see them.”
