Your hour. Not shared.
No techs bouncing between rooms, no handoffs mid-visit. Just you and a Doctor of PT, the whole time.
About Avila Physical Therapy
The clinic that treats the cause.
Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them: one-on-one, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, every single visit.
Our Story
This isn’t our story. It’s yours.
Dr. Anthony Avila, PT, DPT, Founder
Dr. Anthony Avila was born in Louisiana and lived there only briefly, then lived in San Antonio until high school, when his family moved to Corpus Christi. He’s a graduate of King High School who found his footing on the Texas coast long before he found physical therapy.
He earned his undergraduate degree at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, then went on to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for his Doctor of Physical Therapy. Then he came back home to build something of his own.
That’s why he brought Avila Physical Therapy back to Corpus Christi and Kingsville: a chance to treat the neighbors, coworkers, and teammates he grew up around, and to build a clinic around his own measure of success: his family, his employees, his community. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.
“My family. My employees. My community.”
What We Believe
Four things we’ll never compromise.
Cause first. Symptoms follow.
You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We find the why, then the ache stops coming back.
Plans end. That’s the point.
You shouldn’t need a punch card. Every plan comes with a graduation date, so you always know how close you are.
You’re not a protocol.
Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.
The Difference
Not your typical clinic.
A typical clinic
- You explain your pain to a different aide every visit
- Your hour gets split with two other patients
- The same pain creeps back in a few months
- No graduation date, just book again next week
Avila Physical Therapy
- One-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, every visit
- Your full hour, uninterrupted, every time
- A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
- A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one
Feel the difference in your first visit.

Inside the Clinic
Where the work happens.
Rooted in Corpus Christi
This is our neighborhood too.
We’ve been treating Corpus Christi for 10+ years, and now Kingsville too: your neighbors, your teammates, your kids’ coaches. The mom who’s been pushing through it so nobody else has to worry? She’s probably on our schedule too. Recovery is a lot more personal when it’s local.
