Dr. Watson is so good I have followed her from Texas rehab to here. Her hands are a miracle. She knows exactly what’s wrong with your muscles and tendons and of course she’s an needling.Posted on Google![]()

Dr Jonas is an exceptional doctor. He is kind, patient, and takes the time to address any concerns you may have thoroughly. He genuinely cares about his patients and works alongside them to ensure they receive the best possible care. I always feel heard and supported during my visits.Posted on Google![]()

I have enjoyed my sessions with Dr Alyssa Watts at Accelerate due to a cycling injury. She listened to understand my injury and is very thoughtful in her rehabilitation sessions. The team is also very welcoming and makes you feel like part of the family. I would recommend accelerate to all types of athletes and anyone in need of physical therapy.Posted on Google![]()

I’ve been going to this doctor for over a decade; through CrossFit injuries, old age injuries and every week throughout my 3rd trimester with both of my pregnancies. The only disappointment is Dr Jonas refuses to do a Jonas brothers karaoke performance, despite my persistent encouragement. 🤣 A teacher at heart, Jonas has now taught himself out of some of his longest patients (😉) by training one of the best PT Doctors I’ve been to, Dr. Watts.Posted on Google![]()

I’ve been seeing Dr. Jonas off and on for years, and his ability to assess and understand what’s causing pain and how to address it is truly remarkable. He has a way of figuring out not only what’s hurting, but why, and then helping you learn to move and use your body properly again. He’s an excellent communicator, takes the time to explain things clearly, and works with you to develop a realistic plan for improvement. His staff is wonderful, and everything from online scheduling to calling the office is easy and efficient. I’ve never met anyone quite as good at what he does. I can’t recommend him highly enough!Posted on Google![]()

We have loved our time at Accelerate. Both Dr. Jonas and Dr. Watts have lovingly cared for my son (baseball player, bicep injury), and they have been so communicative with me on his progression. And we absolutely love the whole staff! Everyone is so kind.Posted on Google![]()

TECHNIQUES
Our Proven Sports Rehab Process

Discover
We listen first. Full history — pain, goals, what you have tried and why it did not work. No assumptions, no cookie-cutter starting points.

Align
Together we map a real goal. Not less pain — what are you actually trying to get back to?

Accelerate
Evidence-informed loading progressions built around your tissue timeline. We push you. That is the point.
Imagine Rehab Where You Are The Priority?
- Our Team
Dr. Alyssa Watts
Clinical Director. Former D1 soccer player. Four knee surgeries. She has been exactly where you are — scared of the timeline, questioning whether she would get back, grinding through the hard parts. Board-certified OCS and Fellow in Pain Science. She brings both sides to every session.
Dr. James Jonas
Founder of Accelerate Sport and Spine with over 20 years of clinical experience. Nearly 20,000 patients. Honest, thorough, direct. The right fit if you want someone who tells you exactly where you stand — including when something will not work and why.
- RESULT
Using The Best Research To Achieve The Best Results
We actually read the research. Then we apply the parts that hold up and ignore the parts that do not. Pain science has moved a long way in the last decade. Most clinics have not. Load is the treatment. Everything else opens the window to use it. Dr. Jonas and Dr. Watts bring that to every session — and will tell you exactly why.
We serve the New Braunfels, Bulverede, and the surrounding San Antonio areas, with the best physical therapy and rehab for sports and performance. Dr Jonas and Dr Watts are here to take your rehab to the next level.
