After my first appointment with Dr. Jonas at Accelerate Sport and Spine Rehab, I called my wife holding back tears—I hadn’t felt this free of shoulder pain in over a decade.

I’ve been active my whole life (lifting, Jiu Jitsu, etc.), but constant shoulder pain held me back. I’d tried other physical therapy clinics with little success and was close to giving up. Dr. Jonas completely changed that. He takes the time to understand the root cause of the issue and builds a plan that not only removes pain but helps you move and perform at your best.


Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just someone who wants to stay active and pain-free, Accelerate Sport and Spine Rehab is hands-down the best place to go in New Braunfels. I’m beyond grateful for the difference they’ve made in my life.

Dr Jonas has been great. Treated my shoulder that had been troublesome for a year and in two months it was pain free. Recently went to him with lower back pain expecting skeletal or disk trouble. Jonas sorted out muscular issues on the first visit. After two sessions of dry needling and stretching exercises it is almost pain free. I will continue the stretching exercises at home and expect to be pain free. Quit tolerating the pain and go see him.

I have referred many people to Dr Jonas- my husband refers to him as the "problem solver!" He has helped me through so many issues, namely getting my range of motion back after shoulder surgery/frozen shoulder when I made no progress with other PTs. I can't thank him enough for giving me the confidence both physically and mentally to be able to train again and do all the things I want to. He is professional, attentive, actually listens to concerns, and customizes treatment from needling, exercises, manipulation, stim, etc. He TRULY wants you to get better. That's rare in a provider these days.

Most Shoulder Rehab Stops at Pain Relief. We Don't.

Most places will get your shoulder calm. Rest, some band work, gentle exercises. It "feels" better. But then you go back to using it and everything comes right back.

A shoulder that's calm is not a shoulder that can bench press, throw, lift, or hold up overhead under load. Feeling better and being ready are not the same thing — and the gap between them is exactly where most rehab fails you.

For shoulders, pain free is the starting line, not the finish.

Why Choose Us?

What Makes Us Different

We built our shoulder program around one question: why do people get better, go back to training, and break down again? Three things most clinics skip.

Shoulder-Specific Protocols

We measure before we treat. Force testing tells us your strength, impulse, and rate of force development — the numbers that tell us whether you're actually ready to return, not just whether you hurt.

Advanced Shoulder Therapies

Shockwave, dry needling, and laser to calm the tissue. That's step one. Then we load it — in the exact direction, vector, and movement pattern you're going back to. Band work doesn't prepare you for a bench press. External rotation work doesn't get you overhead. The specificity of the load is the point.

1-on-1 Athlete Care

Every session is with your provider. Your shoulder's movement patterns and compensations are tracked visit to visit — because once a shoulder has experienced pain, the brain reorganizes movement to protect it. Those patterns don't disappear just because the pain does. Unlearning them is half the work.

"Dr. Jonas personally cares about his patients. He worked us into his schedule on the same afternoon that I made the initial call to his office. He diagnosed my daughter’s injury and ordered a confirmation X-ray for the very next morning. He worked with us to accelerate her recovery by utilizing all his resources. He provided videos on the app each week to support her strengthening and healing.

"I was with him for the recovery of my hip. I’m a bodybuilder getting ready for a contest. A severe pain in my hip felt like it was going to take me out of the competition. Dr Jonas was able to get me back to 100% and I would highly recommend him to anyone in sports or athletics that knows injury is not an option.
