History

Established in 1989.

Austin Pain Therapy is Austin’s oldest behavioral pain rehabilitation program. Owner Lawrence Maze was a chronic pain sufferer looking to reduce pain and return to an active lifestyle. Finding only inpatient pain programs, Maze realized the need for outpatient pain therapy. Additionally, Maze wanted a program to treat the physical as well as emotional aspect of pain.

All members of the Austin Pain Therapy team are licensed and/​or certified. The APT team includes physical therapists, masters of social work, professional counselors, biofeedback therapists, ergonomic assessment specialists, and certified laser specialty operators.

Austin Pain Therapy accepts most insurance companies including Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Compensation and Motor Vehicle Accidents.
