About Dr. Pepper Physical Therapy

The clinic that treats the cause.

Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them: one-on-one, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, every single visit.

Our Story

This isn’t our story. It’s yours.

Portrait of Dr. Talin Pepper, founder of Dr. Pepper Physical Therapy

Dr. Talin Pepper, PT, DPT, Founder

Dr. Talin Pepper was born and raised on his family’s cotton farm in west Texas, where he learned the value of hard work early. He earned his Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Lubbock Christian University in 2007, then headed to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, where he completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2010.

He returned to Texas Tech in 2016 for a post-graduate doctoral program with a clinical research emphasis, completing his Doctorate of Science in 2019. Along the way he also became a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist and spent more than 16 years as a licensed massage therapist, experience that still shapes the hands-on care he provides today.

Today, he leads Dr. Pepper Physical Therapy with that same farm-taught work ethic: show up, do the work, and don’t cut corners. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.

“It is my goal as a physical therapist to enhance my patient’s overall physical health, fitness, and quality of life. I have found that providing individualized care and developing a trusting relationship with my patients is the key. I look forward to helping you any way that I can.”

What We Believe

Four things we’ll never compromise.

Your hour. Not shared.

No techs bouncing between rooms, no handoffs mid-visit. Just you and a Doctor of PT, the whole time.

Cause first. Symptoms follow.

You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We find the why, then the ache stops coming back.

Plans end. That’s the point.

You shouldn’t need a punch card. Every plan comes with a graduation date, so you always know how close you are.

You’re not a protocol.

Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.

The Difference

Not your typical clinic.

A typical clinic

  • You explain your pain to a different aide every visit
  • Your hour gets split with two other patients
  • The same pain creeps back in a few months
  • No graduation date, just book again next week

Dr. Pepper Physical Therapy

  • One-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, every visit
  • Your full hour, uninterrupted, every time
  • A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
  • A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one

Feel the difference in your first visit.

Rooted in Burleson

This is our neighborhood too.

We treat Burleson: your neighbors, your teammates, your kids’ coaches. The mom who’s been pushing through it so nobody else has to worry? She’s probably on our schedule too. Recovery is a lot more personal when it’s local.
