Having had a nasty bike accident in May 2022, I was having a lot of pain in my right shoulder. I went and had this x-rayed but no breaks, so had a cortisone injection. This didn't help and the provider seemed to want to continue down this path ($$). Anyway, after about 6 months it wasn't getting any better and I saw an advert for Truefix on Facebook. I was a bit sceptical but had the intro consultation and was very impressed with their knowledge and pinpointed the issue straight away and got to work on some exercises and dry needling. After just 2 months work, the shoulder is well and truly on the mend and I am back to lifting proper weights and using my right cross again. This meant I could also avoid the surgery option, again $$. I am not back to full strength yet, but I am getting there. Highly recommended indeed. Less

After having issues with my Achilles I contacted the team at TrueFix PT. I tried different things like stretching on my own, but clearly needed a professional opinion on how to work out stiffness and pain. Dave put me a stretch and strength training regime that fixed the issues around my Achilles. As I am getting older I’ve realized how important a professional opinion on stiffness around my body is. Dave and TrueFix has provided me with a sustainable plan that will allow me to continue doing the things that I was able in my 20’s. Less

David is very knowledgeable, caring, and creates a motivating environment that I am very comfortable in.

The space is also inviting and well equipped, I look forward to future visits with David and highly recommend him for your physical therapy needs. Less

Eric and the team are phenomenal! This is exactly how healthcare should be, 1 on 1 for every session and they spend the time they need to, in order to find the underlying problem to your issue. Keep up the great work and changing lives! 💪

I highly recommend using Eric for your PT needs! He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to your concerns.

I highly recommend using Eric for your PT needs! He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to your concerns. He does a great job of giving you exercises that are achievable and easy to follow at home. I was experiencing pain from plantar fasciitis and was unable to run or workout anymore. I also experience neck, shoulder, and back pain from my career. Eric did dry needling treatments, spent an hour with me once a week and emailed me a step by step schedule to do at home (even had videos of each exercise). I am back to running and working out with no pain anymore. I am so happy with my results! I will continue to follow up with him quarterly to maintain my strength. Less

Dave was great to work with and got me back from my ACL surgery faster than I’d hoped.

Dr. Vargas is such a great listener and was quickly able to pin point my shoulder impingement as well as a hip joint issue which is something that I had been living with for years and it was not getting better.

Dr. Vargas is such a great listener and was quickly able to pin point my shoulder impingement as well as a hip joint issue which is something that I had been living with for years and it was not getting better. From the first appointment, he diagnosed and explained what was going on and how to fix it. Through physical therapy and dry needling, he tracked my progress. My shoulder and hip are not only back to normal, but my strength is better than it has been for several years. His approach is customized for each person, and his way of explaining the issue, as well as the treatment options is exactly was I was looking for. He is a positive and encouraging Dr. and coach. You can tell that he believes in his patients and wants them to excel and overcome their particular issue. He went the extra mile to also help me outline future strength goals and the best way achieve them along with an exercise plan and diet tips. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vargas to anyone that is ready to take care of those aches and pains once and for all. Less

If you are considering Physical Therapy, I highly recommend TrueFix with Eric! I had an ankle sprain early in the summer that wasn't healing well. My ankle was swollen and didn't feel stable.

If you are considering Physical Therapy, I highly recommend TrueFix with Eric! I had an ankle sprain early in the summer that wasn't healing well. My ankle was swollen and didn't feel stable. The sprain also made my achilles pain more intense. I was trying to avoid PT because my only other experience wasn't great. I didn't want to spend lots of money and visit 3 times a week for little to no results. My primary physician sent me to an orthopedic doctor. He said "yup your ankle is loose" and sent me on my way with a brace and script for PT. My insurance doesn't cover PT well. I decided to go for a non-traditional route, by choosing a different Physical Therapy program. I love Eric's model of diagnosing the issue with his own exam, then we came up with a plan for exercises. I have visited once a week and then I get an updated program after each visit to follow until my next visit. There aren't any PT assistants, so you get to visit with Eric (or Dave) the whole visit. I can relay any issues/pain with Eric as I try the new exercises. My ankle is so much stronger and stable. My achilles pain (that has bothered me for years) is nearly gone most of the time. I couldn't walk normally. I had to go down stairs one at a time. Now, I can make it through most days without pain! Go visit Eric! Dave seems great too! Less

Great experience! Expert knowledge, professional, and personalized care. I saw Dave for back pain and left feeling equipped with the knowledge and tools and a plan I felt confident in- all things I was missing and now am on track to feeling and moving better. The process was easy and enjoyable and can tell he truly cares about his patients and achieving their goals of better health!

The physical therapists at TruFix are outstanding! If you are having pain or injury this is the place to go in Kansas City. They give you their time and actually listen to you about what's going on and then find the root cause of your issues. I can't say enough good things about this group!

Highly recommend Eric. After years experiencing tight hip pain I finally decided to meet with a PT. After my initial contact, I knew Eric was my best fit. One month later, my hip feels back to normal. I still visit every so often for dry needling. Thanks Eric. I appreciate what you do.

I could not recommend Eric at TrueFix highly enough. I had been dealing with chronic back pain for years that was getting steadily worse from long stints of sitting at work. I would occasionally find myself laid up for days after heavy exercise or physical labor.

I would occasionally find myself laid up for days after heavy exercise or physical labor.

I've had a great experience working with Eric at Truefix Physical Therapy. He's incredibly knowledgeable about his work and also has a patient demeanor — it's very different than most PT experiences in that you'll get to spend your whole appointment working directly with him. He works hard to explain everything he's doing so you're informed as a patient and feel empowered to work once you leave his office. I came in for some general mobility issues and he was able to target the most critical areas for improvement for me (which turned out to be my hips). I saw noticeable improvement even in a week and six weeks later, I'm moving much better — I even hit a squat PR the other day, which I attribute solely to being more stable and mobile. Highly recommend TrueFix if you need a PT in the KC area. Less

Fully recommend anyone suffering from chronic pain, a serious injury and wanting to just have a better quality of life to go and see Eric. I sustained a really bad injury to my knee and Eric has been there through it all. We have made massive gains (from not walking, to actually being able to squat or walk up stairs) in our time working together and he has been patient, compassionate and genuinely has listened to my concerns through it all. He encourages you to listen to your body, which can be hugely over looked. He approaches treatment in different ways and if it's not beneficial, he doesn't continue doing that exercise/technique and instead suggests other things that will make just as much of an impact. He also sends you home with exercises you can do inbetween appts. Of course no one wants to get hurt or be in pain, but if you are...Eric is the guy to see!!!! Less

I could not recommend seeing Eric at TrueFix Physical Therapy enough. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about his craft. I experienced immediate relief in my wrist from his dry-needling technique the very first appointment. He is great at working to help YOU and work within your schedule. Go see him!

Over the past 4 years I have herniated my L5-S1 disc three times, which has resulted in chronic low back pain and sciatica. At least that was the case before working with Eric. Over the past 2 years I’ve worked with Eric and my pain is minimal and manageable. I’ve worked with 2 neurosurgeons, a chiropractor, and a different physical therapist before Eric, and none of them could seem to figure out how to fix me. It didn’t take long for me to see results with him, and I enjoyed the process. I’ve witnessed Eric have success treating ailments ranging from sprained ankles to torn rotator cuffs, and I would be eager to recommend him to anybody I know needing physical therapy! Less

Dr. Vargas has helped me so much over the past year! He encompasses so many aspects of mind/body work and it was just what I needed. I went from not being able to vacumm more than my living room to deadlifting 135 pounds! Dr. Vargas is truly a wonderful human being and compassionate physical therapist - check him out!

When I first talked with Dr. Vargas, it was clear that he had not only the professional knowledge to work with my pain issues, but also a new, individual-focused and fresh perspective on healing, which is typically missing in traditional modes of physical therapy.

When I first talked with Dr. Vargas, it was clear that he had not only the professional knowledge to work with my pain issues, but also a new, individual-focused and fresh perspective on healing, which is typically missing in traditional modes of physical therapy. I have had neuro-pain for 9 years from a chronic condition which has been treated by the Mayo Clinic. While Mayo is most amazing place on earth (except maybe Disney World!), Eric took up where Mayo left off. Although I would like to say he sprinkled me with some Disney pixie dust, it was his caring, new perspective and knowledge which did the trick. Within four in-clinic sessions, and the exercise regime he prescribed for me at home, I felt relief. Now, just a few months later, my pain has reduced from a "9 or 10" some days, to almost 0 most days now. I am grateful to Eric for his direction as I am not only living better, but living better than I was before my medical challenges. His induvial-focused philosophy works! -Brad Less

I sustained a gym related lower back injury, probably from overexertion. As days progressed my condition worsened and nothing was helping. Several unsuccessful chiropractor appts later, I found myself hobbling over to TrueFix. Firstly, Eric Vargas was absolutely a pleasure to work with. A true professional and a genuine and caring person. A crucial part of healing is understanding the science of your body. Eric is education centric and definitely has the heart of a teacher. He makes the information easily digestible and the visits were fun to go to. Yes, even the dry needling! Scared to goodness of needles, I will say the dry needling was a huge help. TrueFix is a great name for this business. To really truly heal, progress and move forward better than before is not easy. Like all good things, it comes with hard work. Eric is the leader you want in your journey to recovery. He lays out the plan, makes things fun, gets to know you, checks in on you, makes sure your understanding everything, etc etc. Most importantly his practices are EFFECTIVE. Follow the plan, put in the effort and you will see results. I couldn’t say enough about how great my experience at TrueFix PT was. Less

Dr. Eric Vargas is fantastic! I had previously spent thousands of dollars on tests, scans, and other medical expenses with an issue I'd been struggling with for 15 years, but Dr. Vargas was able to work with me to fix it in under 6 weeks. Fantastic is the understatement of the century!

Dr. Vargas is a man of his word! I went to see him several months back complaining of severe lower back pain due to heavy weightlifting. Dr Vargas told me I would be back to working out in no time as long as I followed his direction! He could not have been more progressional during our visits and has an excellent bedside manner. I’m back in the gym and have never felt better!

I was recently seen by Eric Vargas for impingement/irritation in my L4/L5 nerve root, causing my right thigh to constantly be numb. I’ve always been the stubborn type when it comes to treating injuries because I didn’t have the patience; and in my past experiences with therapists, it felt like just an appointment and was obvious that I was just one of many people that would be seen, as if it was mainly for the money. That all changed after working with Eric Vargas. From day one, it was clear to me that he looked forward to seeing me progress and resolve my issues. He truly cared about my health and well being, and wanted to see me get back to the gym to keep doing what I love. For once I felt determined to resolve my injury and continue to keep up with the home exercises I was provided by Eric. By my second appointment, I was amazed that the numbness in my leg was mostly gone. We slowly built up strength on both sides of my lower back and hips. He made sure that I understood each exercise and was always available to answer questions either through email, phone call or text - I didn’t have to wait until the end of the day to get a response. He even created videos for me to reference. Since I progressed in the healing process so quickly, halfway through the 6 week session, we focused on perfecting my form when doing lower body workouts. As if things couldn’t get any better, Eric joined me at my gym so that he could show me how to properly use the equipment my gym provided, and correct my form in order to avoid any future injuries. I was blown away by Eric’s approach to resolving my injury and ensuring that I had a clear understanding of everything. He stood out from anyone else that I had worked with and I would highly suggest getting in to be seen by Dr. Vargas. His patients and attention to detail is phenomenal! If you have a tight schedule and are concerned that it might be difficult to see him during normal office hours, you don’t have to worry about that. He will work with your schedule instead of the other way around, where you have to adjust your own schedule in order to make an appointment. It’s really evident that he puts his patients first. Less

Where to begin? Well that would be SuperBowl LIV...it was the worst of times, it was the bes....no, it was just the worst of times. The Chiefs lost and I managed to break my left ankle in two spots, requiring surgery. After 9 weeks non-weight bearing I was referred to PT and was fortunate (lucky? blessed?) enough to end up being scheduled with Dr. Eric Vargas. I managed to complete my "standard" course of PT with him, pretty easily I think, and I was on my way, eager to jump back in to my normal course of activity. However, my left ankle (which I now not-so affectionately refer to as Brady) had different ideas. Despite reaching a point where I was able to engage in "typical" day to day activities, I was still hampered by some pain and discomfort that was keeping me from one of the activities that I truly enjoyed - Running. I connected with Eric once again and we put together a plan to get me back to running. I wanted nothing more and Eric was confident that it was possible. After working with Eric consistently for 6 weeks, it actually happened. I was running - pain free. The feeling of jogging up and down the parking lot (in my Chiefs shirt, on the opening day of the season, naturally) and throwing my arms in the air like Rocky, is unsurpassed. Eric has been invaluable in helping me to get back to the level of physical activity I was prior to my football injury (that's what we call it - it makes for a better story). It wasn't always easy, there were easy days and hard days and I even shed some tears along the way. But it was worth it. I had started to think that maybe I would never feel that pavement pad rapidly below my feet again. With my hard work and Eric's knowledge, and our mutual determination, we found the way, and I will be always be grateful for his help and guidance. It has truly given me a part of my life back. Less

Dr. Vargas has been a life saver for me! I came to physical therapy looking for relief from arthritis, degenerative disk and fibromyalgia. I had been to various doctors, pain specialists, chiropractors, massage, and practiced various exercise routines that either didn’t help at all or only made the pain worse. I had major depression and a major lack of motivation. Then I was referred to physical therapy. From the first visit I could tell that Dr. Vargas sincerely cared about helping me and with each visit I saw improvement. I learned which exercises were helpful and how to work through the pain - and to just keep moving! I had an increase in energy and I actually felt like a door had opened for me. I could finally vacuum an entire floor of my house when before I was lucky to vacuum one room! I could do so many activities that had been lost to me for years! Most importantly, I have more quality time with my family and more confidence in myself. At 65, instead of feeling as if all I had to look forward to was more pain, Dr. Vargas empowered me to take control of my body through learning the correct exercises and how to keep myself motivated. Thank you, Dr. Vargas! Less

I was having pretty substantial lower back pain at work for several months, and as a dentist it was difficult to work. I tried going to a chiropractor several times but they only provided short term relief and the pain never fully went away. I went to Dr. Vargas once a week for a month and did my at home physical therapy and my back pain is completely gone. Highly recommend Dr. Vargas.

Eric is amazing! He helped me with my neck and knee injury. He also helped to educate me on at home options for healing.
