Meet Dr. Alec Hight, PT, DPT, COMT

Dr. Alec Hight, PT, DPT, COMT

Physical Therapist

Alec is a physical therapist at our Culebra location, specializing in musculoskeletal conditions of the spine and extremities. He brings over three years of clinical experience and rejoined the Culebra team as a PT in January 2025, after originally working at the same location as a technician from 2017 to 2020.

Education & Advanced Training

During his time as a technician, Alec was pursuing his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Athletic Medicine. He later earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from UT Health San Antonio. Since completing PT school, Alec has remained highly committed to professional growth and clinical excellence. Immediately out of school, he received his certification in Dry Needling.

He then earned his Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) designation—a rigorous and respected credential that solidified his foundation in hands-on, evidence-based treatment. Currently, Alec is further advancing his expertise through a Fellowship in Orthopedic and Manual Therapies—one of the highest levels of clinical training in the field. This ongoing fellowship is sharpening his ability to assess, problem-solve, and deliver faster, more effective outcomes tailored to each patient’s needs.

A Background Built on Connection

Originally from a military family, Alec grew up in various places before settling in San Antonio. His diverse background taught him how to connect with people from all walks of life—something he values deeply in his patient care.

Alec’s Approach to Patient Care

Alec’s treatment philosophy is rooted in combining skilled manual therapy and rehabilitative exercise with clear communication and patient education. He believes that great outcomes happen not only through effective interventions but also through building trust, explaining the “why,” and keeping patients engaged throughout their rehab journey.

Life Outside the Clinic

Outside the clinic, Alec enjoys anything outdoors—golfing, hunting, fishing, going to concerts, floating the river, or relaxing by the pool. A naturally competitive person, he’s always exploring new hobbies and pushing himself to learn and grow, both personally and professionally.

Commitment to Clinical Excellence

What sets Alec apart is his deliberate and focused commitment to clinical mastery. While many therapists early in their careers are still finding their stride, Alec has taken an aggressive approach to professional development—seeking out advanced certifications and specialized training to elevate his care. His combination of technical skill, critical thinking, and personal connection makes him a trusted guide for patients on their path to recovery.
