Expert Dry Needling Austin TX | Lady Bird PT
At Lady Bird PT, dry needling is one of the powerful, evidence-based tools our team uses to help people in Austin move, feel, and function better. We treat all people across every stage of life, from pregnancy and postpartum recovery to athletic performance, pelvic health, and beyond.
Pain That Won't Quit Has a Way of Taking Over
Whether it's tight muscles, persistent pelvic pain, or tension you've been told to just live with, you deserve real answers and real relief.
-
You've Tried Everything
Stretching, rest, massage, and pain relief products have offered only temporary relief. The underlying tension and dysfunction keep coming back, and it's exhausting to keep starting over.
-
Your Body Feels Disconnected
Tight muscles, trigger points, and guarded movement patterns can make even everyday tasks feel difficult. When your body doesn't respond the way it used to, it affects everything, from exercise to intimacy to sleep.
-
You Haven't Found the Right Support
Finding a provider who truly listens, takes a whole-body approach, and creates a safe space for every kind of patient can feel impossible. You deserve care that actually meets you where you are.

"I cannot recommend Dr. Liz Cote enough! After just a few pelvic floor therapy sessions, I felt such a difference. What really sets her apart is how comforting and easy she is to talk to; it feels like you're chatting with a friend who genuinely cares."
