Hello! I’m Dr. Misty Funk, an Austin-based chiropractor who specializes in myofascial massage.

It is a joy to walk beside every patient on the healing journey. My approach to compassionate healthcare is a marriage between evidence-based science and traditional intuitive wisdom. I incorporate the warmth and healing of myofascial massage with the therapeutic benefit of chiropractic care. Every session is a highly specialized, tailor-made experience designed to fully address your unique needs. It’s a chance to slow down and connect within. If you’re looking for a heart-centered provider who combines healing touch with a solid technical understanding of how the body works, you’re at the right place.

Together we will explore the liminal space where science and healing merge to create good health.

Practice History

After graduating from Texas Chiropractic College in 2007 with my Doctorate in Chiropractic, I started my career at a physical therapy clinic in Round Rock, Texas. One year later I launched my own private practice specializing in a combination of myofascial massage and chiropractic care. 

When I first started practicing my speciality was an obscure technique. Most of my patients had never heard of myofasical therapy. Then, almost overnight, myofascial massage became one of the most sought-after modalities for the treatment of muscle tension and pain. The newfound popularity also brought about a drastic shift in the needs and concerns of those showing up at my office. My original patients were arriving with your typical run-of-the-mill aches and pains, but today >70% of my new patients experience physical symptoms caused by chronic emotional stress, trauma or a dysregulated nervous system (sympathetic overload).

If chronic stress and/or trauma is either directly or indirectly causing your symptoms, then myofasical massage alone will only provide temporary relief. Without addressing the root cause of your symptoms, tension and pain quickly return. Myofascial therapy feels good, but what’s the point if you are not getting long lasting relief? In order to more fully address patients’ concerns, I now offer trauma-informed myofasical therapy along with the more traditional forms of myofasical massage and chiropractic care.

My work combines myofascial release, chiropractic care and emotional and nervous system support (when needed). Sessions promote inner calm and wellbeing—helping you heal on a deep level. You’ll also be happy to discover that this unique therapeutic approach provides the long lasting results you’ve been searching for.  

As always, I’m here for you when you need me!
