Instruction, not treatment 109 Oak Lane, Suite 4, Austin, Texas · since 2018

Six people to a class, never more — and every rep gets filmed before you leave the floor.

Totex runs movement-technique classes and one-to-one coaching in Austin: lifting position, walking and squat mechanics, general mobility, and supervised return-to-activity conditioning once a doctor has cleared you. A coach reviews your filmed reps before the next session starts.

This is not medical care. Totex teaches movement technique. It does not diagnose, and it does not replace a doctor or a physical therapist. Clients with an active injury, an uncontrolled cardiac condition, a pregnancy complication flagged by their doctor, or no clearance letter on file for a return-to-activity program are turned away at intake, not partway through a program.

Movement Assessment

A movement class is not physical therapy and it will not replace one. We teach the position. You bring the doctor’s clearance.

Scroll through a class

Forty minutes, start to finish

What actually happens inside a capped, filmed technique class.

Scroll to move through sign-in, the class itself, the camera that runs the whole time, and the two or three cues you leave with. Nothing here is a treatment plan.

01 / 04

You sign the intake board, not a waiver stack.

Daylight floods the small lobby. There is a sign-in tablet on the console table instead of a clipboard, and the front desk checks two things before anything else: your intake screen and, if you are here for return-to-activity work, your clearance letter.

02 / 04

A coach counts the class down to six and keeps it there.

Five or six people spread across mats, a coach standing a few steps back watching the whole room, not one student. If a seventh person walks in, they get the next slot, not a spot on today’s mat. That rule holds even on a busy Tuesday.

Five mats, one coach watching the whole room, heads easy to count.

03 / 04

The tripod camera runs for the whole forty minutes.

It is not there to catch a mistake. It is there so Coach Reyes can sit down with the footage before your next class and show you, frame by frame, what your foot or hip did on rep six that it did not do on rep one. Filmed technique review is the actual product here, not an add-on.

04 / 04

You leave with two or three cues, not a treatment plan.

A coach points, without touching, at exactly where your foot needs to sit for the next set. That gesture is the whole method: watch, name the position, load it slowly next time. No handout of exercises to do at home, no promise about how you will feel tomorrow.
