What Our Patients Say About Accelerate

Dr. Jonas and his team are amazing! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and does such a great job explaining not only what’s going on with your injury, but also the root cause and the best path to recovery. He takes the time to make sure you truly understand your injury and how to treat it, which is something I really appreciate. He helped me when I injured my Achilles, and his recommendation for a surgeon was spot on. Everything went so smoothly! He’s also taken great care of my daughter with her soccer injuries, whether it’s something minor or an actual sprain. That’s exactly why our family always goes to Dr. Jonas first, whether it’s something as simple as a twisted ankle or something more serious that may require surgery. I always reach out to him for his expert opinion. They always get us in quickly, are on top of everything, and the entire staff is super friendly and welcoming. We’re so grateful for Dr. Jonas and his team. He truly is the best! Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Struggling through three injuries, Dr Watts has helped me be symptom free from all three of them. This practice is very diverse as my injuries have been a shoulder, chronic knee pain, and a torn MCL. This proves that unlike other physical therapy places, this one is truly diverse and different. I will always recommend this practice to anybody with a injury, who wants to be back in sports or life as quick as possible.Posted on Google![]()

Expertise, compassion, encouragement! My tendon problem took some work but I trust in Dr. Jonas’ skills and his dedication and personalized treatment has worked for me for this injury and several others. He listens and evaluates you very carefully and knows what he is doing. This is an exceptional place, all around. Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

I have seen Dr Watts now for a couple of different injuries over the last six months. She has been phenomenal to work with. I wouldn’t have been able to keep competing without her and I’m so grateful for her patience and knowledge!Posted on Google![]()

I have used Accelerate for full injury recovery and for little nagging injuries that show up by an exercise strain or sleeping incorrectly. Every time I leave with improvement and feel much better. Dr. Jonas is always professional and accommodating. I strongly recommend Accelerate and their organization!Posted on Google![]()

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![]()

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.

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 New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Bulverde 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.
