Jimmy Rowland, DPT, CSCS — Founder of Helix Sports Medicine

Jimmy Rowland is the founder and owner of Helix Sports Medicine, a premier sports medicine and physical therapy clinic with locations in Lakeway, TX and Dripping Springs, TX. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Jimmy brings a unique combination of clinical expertise and performance training to every patient.

From Professional Sports to Austin’s Top Sports PT Clinic

Before founding Helix Sports Medicine, Jimmy served as Medical Director at the Athletic Performance Enhancement Center (APEC), where he worked directly with elite professional athletes including NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes. This experience treating the world’s top athletes shaped his approach to care: every patient at Helix receives the same quality of one-on-one attention that professional athletes expect.

Why Athletes Choose Helix Sports Medicine in Lakeway and Austin TX

At Helix Sports Medicine, every session is 60 minutes, one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — no techs, no aides, no shortcuts. This cash-pay model eliminates insurance middlemen and ensures patients receive undivided expert attention. Helix specializes in treating competitive athletes across the Austin and Lakeway Texas area, including:

  • ACL tear rehabilitation and criteria-based return-to-sport testing
  • Shoulder injuries — rotator cuff tears, labral tears, instability
  • Baseball arm care — UCL injuries, throwing programs
  • Running injuries — stress fractures, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation for all sports injuries
  • Athletic performance training through Helix Performance Lab

Credentials and Philosophy

Jimmy’s personal journey into sports medicine started with a stress fracture during high school baseball — an experience that ignited his mission to provide better care for athletes. His philosophy is simple: treat every patient like a professional athlete. The Helix team demonstrates every exercise they prescribe, integrates rehabilitation with strength and conditioning, and uses objective criteria-based return-to-sport protocols rather than arbitrary timelines.
