Dr. Carlos Reyes founded Reyes Performance Institute driven by his deep passion for athletic performance and a personal understanding of the challenges athletes face. As a lifelong athlete and former runner at the University of Texas, Dr. Reyes knows firsthand the importance of a swift and effective recovery, allowing him to connect deeply with the athletes he treats. His experience in high-level sports performance made him keenly aware of the need for personalized care in physical therapy.

His journey as a physical therapist revealed the shortcomings of the traditional high-volume patient model, where real connections and personalized care often got lost in the rush. He believed that true healing and performance enhancement come from spending quality one-on-one time with each patient, building relationships, and truly understanding their needs.

Driven by this belief and his own experiences, Dr. Reyes decided to create an institute where the focus is on individualized, empathetic care. He ensures that every active individual, from weekend warriors to elite competitors, receives the tailored treatment they deserve. His understanding of the crucial role mental resilience plays in overall recovery shapes the institute’s philosophy, ensuring both mental well-being and physical recovery are equally prioritized.

At Reyes Performance Institute, it’s not just about making you stronger—it’s about understanding your struggles, providing hope, and helping you navigate the challenges of recovery, enhancing both your physical and mental resilience.

Dr. Hardin is a sport and activity enthusiast from Tampa, Florida with a deep love for movement, fitness, and lifelong learning.

His path into physical therapy started with a leap of faith. After more than a decade dedicated to competitive bowling, he left his hometown to attend Wichita State University and pursue collegiate bowling. While there, he discovered a deeper passion for exercise science, human physiology, and helping people move and perform better.

During his time at Wichita State, Dr. Hardin gained hands-on experience in group fitness, personal training, and strength and conditioning. That experience sparked his interest in the health and wellness field and ultimately led him to earn his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine.

Dr. Hardin was inspired early in life by his mother’s love for her career and her commitment to showing up every day with purpose. That example helped shape his own approach to physical therapy. He values face-to-face connection, building trust with patients, and working alongside people who are not only knowledgeable about the human body, but truly committed to health, movement, and performance.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Hardin is a food-loving, cold-coffee-drinking dog dad who is always chasing a life filled with movement, connection, and new experiences. Since moving to Austin, he has enjoyed long runs around Lady Bird Lake, golfing, weightlifting, playing pickleball, and continuing the search for the best cup of coffee in the city.

Ally is passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they love with confidence. Originally from Florida, Ally earned her Bachelor of Science in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology from the University of Florida before moving to Austin to complete her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences.

Ally has always had a strong interest in health, fitness, and human performance. Her background in personal training and online fitness coaching, along with her own experiences with athletics, strength training, and navigating injuries, has helped shape the way she approaches physical therapy today. She enjoys working with active adults and athletes and helps with orthopedic and sports rehabilitation, return-to-sport training, and enabling patients to bridge the gap between rehab and performance.

Her treatment style is individualized and movement-focused. Ally believes rehabilitation should go beyond simply decreasing pain. Her goal is to help patients better understand their bodies, address the factors contributing to their symptoms, and build the strength, mobility, and confidence needed to perform at their best.

Outside of the clinic, Ally enjoys weightlifting, traveling, trying new restaurants and coffee shops around town, and spending time with her fiancé, friends, and family!
