Physical Therapy in Washington

“My husband and I have been going to Thesis for the last six weeks and are already seeing amazing results! Vedall and Quentin at the Tyson’s location have been incredible to work with, and I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“I Love this place my shoulder was very bad off a now Dr Swapnil Kulkarni made my arm usable again. The staff is so awesome ?? I would definitely recommend people to come here for any type of therapy and pain management.“

“TJ is an exceptional physical therapist who accurately diagnosed my shoulder condition and developed a targeted treatment program that helped me avoid surgery. His expertise and thorough approach not only eliminated my shoulder pain but also gave me the tools to maintain my progress through a well-designed maintenance routine. TJ's dedication to helping patients achieve their goals makes him stand out in his field.“

“Excellent service and great care! Highly recommend this place for one on one coaching and rehab!“

“Brian was great! Answered my questions and gave me the confidence to manage my shoulder and knee issues“

“STAR PT is the best PT place I've been to since I moved to the DMV 20 years ago. All of the practitioners are highly skilled and very caring, and they have a wide skill set no matter what your needs. They give individual attention to each patient with an emphasis on manual therapy and personalized rehab. The space is well laid out, friendly and easily accessible, and parking is easy. The front desk is very helpful and always communicates well. I recommend them to all my Pilates students and friends.“

“Maddie is a super-pro; her knowledge of the human body and how to support my recovery from ankle surgery has really changed my mind about the value of physical therapy. In particular, she provides clear, helpful exercises that challenge my mobility without over-extending my ankle. I feel more confident in a full recovery with Maddie on my case. She is also kind and empathetic. The whole team is friendly and professional. Highly recommend.“

“Ciara is just an all around delightful person, who is so knowledgeable in all things both pelvic health and also traditional orthopedic PT. I’ve began working with her during my pregnancy- I’ve always been active and a runner, but found that during pregnancy, I needed some help feeling strong and learning how to move. I’ve loved her energy- it’s like hanging out with a friend, who is also super knowledgeable and funny. After i returned to running, I took a fall and sprained my ankle and reached out for some rehab. Ciara will travel to your home, which if you have kids or a demanding job, is so clutch. She tailors your treatment not just to your injury but to what you love- we weren’t just focused on getting my ankle to not hurt, but getting strong to get back to running. I’d highly recommend her for anything PT related- she’s also an expert on pelvic health issues and makes it just feel so comfortable and safe to discus anything- nothing is off limits and it’s like chatting with a friend (well, she is a friend now!). I can’t say enough good things about her- make sure you reach out with any needs, be it during pregnancy, after, or for just any regular injuries too.“

“This is one of if not the best physical therapy establishment I've used in the DMV. Jon and his team are skilled at and compassionate about their work. I worked with Jon and Juhi and can say that they are some of the best you can get in DC. Their knowledge, techniques, and dedication to healing are remarkable. Both worked on my knee injury and I can say that it is much better than it's been in years, considering I saw other therapists prior to seeing them. I highly recommend CNMR for all your movement disorders and disabilities, to improve or restore the function and quality of your life.“

“I am so grateful that I received treatment at this Active PT location right in the neighborhood! All the staff are friendly and professional. I was able to book an evaluation within a week of calling, and subsequent appointments were always so easy to schedule. The front desk staff are helpful and efficient, a combo that is so rare in DC health care offices! Most importantly, the PTs and other therapy staff are the best. I mostly worked with Carlos over the many months of my treatment, and he is attentive, caring, and always looking for additional ways to support a patient's recovery. He was so good I've been recommending anyone I know who is slightly considering PT to book an appointment and work with him! I also received treatment from Shawna and Jacob, who were both also very helpful and friendly. I also appreciated that parking was easy and free at this location, they were never too busy with patients so I never had to wait for help with my exercises, many staff are also fluent in Spanish, and there are even self-pay rates for ongoing training if your insurance coverage ends. Thank you for being such a critical part of my recovery in 2024!“

“I had the privilege of working with the incredible physical therapy team at MedSTAR Health Physical Therapy at Navy Yard during my Achilles rehab, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From day one, they exhibited unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. The team tailored a rehab program that was not only effective but also motivating, keeping me engaged throughout the process.

Their attention to detail in assessing my progress and adjusting my exercises accordingly made all the difference in my recovery. They didn’t just treat my injury—they empowered me with knowledge about proper technique, mobility, and long-term injury prevention.

Beyond the technical excellence, the atmosphere they created was welcoming and positive. Every session felt like a step toward regaining not just my physical strength but also my confidence. Thanks to their guidance, I’m well on my way to full recovery and stronger than ever.

If you’re looking for a physical therapy team that’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven, MedSTAR Health Physical Therapy at Navy Yard should be your top choice. They truly go above and beyond for their patients.“

“I love this place - everyone is so caring, they truly want you to get better, every interaction is positive - Ethan is an expert in his field, we are lucky to have him here in DC.“

“Danelle is a healer. It's almost as if she uses her knowledge and intuition to help the places in your body that are in pain. She is also genuine and a delight to talk to. I highly recommend her services!
I had been suffering with shoulder, neck, and back pain for years and every time I saw her she alleviated it more and more.“

“I was training for a climb which involved following a rigorous, 4+month training plan. Less than 1 month into my training, I noticed a falloff (rather than advancement) in my progress. I was concerned that I wasn’t not gaining the strength I needed to accomplish my goal of summitting 20,000 ft over a multi-day climb, something considerably more demanding than anything I had ever attempted before.

I didn’t immediately realize it, but learned that I had overexerted myself too soon, coupled with using poor technique in many of my exercises. With only 3 months before I was supposed to leave for Argentina, I immediately looked for a physical therapist, met with 2, and felt your assessment of whether I could meet my goal, understanding my history and ability to tailor a plan was best.

Having had 3 surgeries on the same knee previously (2 cartilage clean ups and 1 ACL reconstruction), but having fully rehabbed each, I was surprised when my first month of training produced unexpected weakness around the knee muscles and some knee instability. I found it harder and increasingly painful to do the 200+ reps the plan suggested for the first week of training, but I did it anyway. Despite not getting either the improved endurance or confidence in my knee support level, I quickly realized that if I continued to train without “coach”, I was going to either get to Argentina and fall short of my goal or possibly injure myself, or both.

Prior to seeing Trupti, I was training at a gym by myself, using a training manual and You Tube to teach myself the proper form for each exercise. Having had physical therapy before, I knew I could not just power through this, but rather knew that I needed a professional’s help to create a plan of action that, working backward from my goal and by using the right exercises and technique, would help me avoid injury, measure my progress and help me finish my plan over the next 120 days.

What was unique with MMSSPT, was the free 30-minute discovery session which gave me an honest opinion and allowed me to see if we were a good fit for each other. The second thing that was really beneficial for me was the "hands-on" manual therapy which really helped more than just using ice and electronic equipment I had been given in other practices. I really benefited from all the steps I took, the guidance, encouragement and at times, tough love I received, things I had not received at other practices. Being on the other side of accomplishing a 6-day summit from my 20,000 ft climb – it was very clear that I couldn't have done it without Trupti’s help! This climb pushed me to the limit, and Trupti helped me keep my knee ligaments, structures and muscles in good shape without injury.

At 58, there are aches and pains which I know are inevitable, such as osteoarthritis, but I now have a maintenance plan and am on a good path that will enable me to stay active and keep on doing what I enjoy!“

“Everyone has been very nice and accommodating! My PT Angelo listens to me and tailors my exercises. It’s completely one on one which I really enjoy!“

“Dr. Andrea knows exactly what to do with my crooked spine. She is super strong, insanely intuitive and really works to make me stronger and on a long term, healthy track. She listens, works with you, very hands on and cares. I would recommend her and have, to anyone for any part of your structure that needs help!“

“I've been seeing Kat for about 8 months for multiple issues like low back pain, achilles tendinitis, and knee issues. She is incredible at what she does. Most importantly, she does hands on work (including dry needling, cupping and other things) which helps you get immediate relief, while also accompanying this with an excersie plan. You'll get a full hour of 100% attention to you and only you. Highly recommend Pure Sports and Kat!“

“If you are working on healing or maintaining a healthy body, this is the place! You have Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis, Pilates, a little aerial yoga. Plus there are physical therapy acupuncture, massage therapy, and the rare dance medicine/science specialists all here under one roof!“

“I worked with Annie almost every week for four months and pretty intensively over the course of six months. Her physical therapy and needling were a miracle. When we began working together I could hardly walk or exercise due to a back issue. I'm completely back to a full exercise routine now and stronger than I was to begin with. This journey was not a straight line of improvement as I had significant setbacks along the way. I will definitely consult with Annie moving forward as I keep exercising because she is so knowledgeable and helpful.

Here is what Annie did that helped so much:
1. Annie really listens. She incorporated the details of what I was doing, what was working or not, and she heard the heart of what I was saying whenever I became frustrated.
2. Annie really watched how I did the exercises and felt the muscles (and whatever else is there) in my back.
3. Because I had a long while when I was improving slowly or having setbacks, it was very important to have someone who observed and understood my situation. Annie did that. I felt that she was totally with me. We did not only talk about exercising, but about how I was moving during the day, how I was sitting when I went out, etc.
4. Annie was concerned to tailor my program to me and what would feel good and motivate me. She made a video of me doing every new exercise with an explanation. She was mindful of keeping me interested and motivated so that I would do my exercises.
5. Even though the needling really worked - a game changer for me - Annie was mindful of not doing it too much and making sure that I could deal with discomfort and temporary glitches when they arose.

I wholeheartedly recommend Annie. I could not have had better care.“

“POTSies & Long Covid Sufferers; this is the place for you!!

#1 if you mask, your provider will automatically put on a K-95 mask! So grateful for this practice

Next, Mollie Kam is the most knowledgeable provider I’ve ever seen on pots, dysautonomia, long covid, hyper-mobility, and FND! She has helped me build up an incredible team of competent providers that actually understand my conditions.

Nura has gone above and beyond to support my pelvic floor needs. They are gender affirming, trauma-informed, and work closely with Mollie to ensure holistic care! As a trans person it makes a huge difference to have a queer pelvic floor provider.

I cannot recommend this practice enough! If you’ve been doing PT elsewhere and getting worse, don’t give up hope, Set might be able to help!“

“Jordyn & Lacey are fantastic! The way they poured into my Physical therapy daily helps me so much! I couldn’t lift my leg/hip when I first came in. I was scared , intimidated and unsure.

I left confident and ready to attack life again . Ladies thank you for building me up inside out. I’m ready for the summer because of you. I’m going to miss you both.

Micah & Kirk!! God bless you and may you continue to heal the masses forever!!“

“Anne is amazing! I don’t even know where to start. I was in conversation with two other Rolphing therapists before going here, and both were pushing me toward a 10 series without having met me. Anne said, “Why don’t you come in and we’ll see what you need.” She fixed me right up in one session! Pain that I’d been dealing with for years was gone, and my range of motion noticeably increased. My favorite part is when she’ll do something like massage my leg, and I feel relaxation in my shoulders… So cool! The entire body is connected and she’s constantly educating herself on various forms of therapy so you can really trust her advice. I only go to her when I irritate something, and I love learning new things about my body in each session. Whether you enter massage or movement therapy, Anne is definitely the way to go! Also, she loves a challenge and is willing to work on bodybuilders! If you need accommodations for anything, just communicate with her and trust me she’ll work with you.“

“Great facility, super kind and knowledgeable staff. If you need swimming lessons, hit Lloyd Henry up, he’s a great coach.“

“Dr Borenstein listened attentively to my concerns. He integrated my medical history to develop a plan that made sense . I felt cared for and relieved after my appointment with Dr. Borenstein.“

“Fantastic! I came to Chili with some back issues that had been plaguing me for months and she truly helped me reset within 2-3 sessions. She is very thoughtful in her approach and cares for each client. Highly recommend!“
