They accept most insurance and are open on weekdays, including early mornings and through lunchtime. Fontana will treat patients at the new Four Points location along with Devanshi Patel, a licensed physical therapist and ergonomic evaluation specialist; and Amy Sanders, a registered occupational therapist and licensed massage therapist who is certified in cranial sacral therapy.
Patel, a Steiner Ranch resident, has been practicing in Austin for 15 years and specializes in back and neck pain. That is where she thinks her experience in chronic pain is helpful. She stresses the importance of seeing a therapist while still in the preventative stage, to address potential issues before they become more serious.
Sanders, who also lives in Steiner Ranch, has been practicing massage therapy for 20 years. She practices techniques known as myofascial release and cranial sacral therapy. Sanders said these specialized massage techniques are beneficial for those who suffer from pain patterns throughout the body.
