Physical Therapists near Chevy Chase

“I had chronic pain in most of my body, headaches, and severe dizziness. After months of tests and some PT, I was faced with a diagnosis of a lifetime of chronic pain regulated by medication and very limited ability to do sport. After I started working with Bill Amos I managed to get to a point where I was pain free and able to run and ski again. And I now also have the tools to stay that way. Bill has a tremendous wealth of knowledge, breadth of techniques, and insights. I can't recommend him enough.“

“I've only had 2 sessions with Lauren, and I'm already racing to leave a review. She is a miracle worker!I've tried physical therapy at several other locations and fully expected to go through the motions (w/o relief) to satisfy my insurance requirements in order to get an MRI. Now, I wonder if I will even need one at all. This is the first time I have been able to walk with minimal pain in months!! My only regret is that I didn't pursue it sooner!In past experiences at other locations, I've been given heat/ice, a tens machine, or used an exercise bike. I was given exercises and used weights once- the latter was almost helpful. It was never 1:1, I didn't feel like I was listened to or that they cared.My experience with Lauren couldn't have been more different! She is so friendly and personable, an appointment feels more like meeting up with a friend at the gym. She listens, asks questions along the way, and tailors exercises based on my responses. She is super knowledgeable, I appreciate her explaining the reasoning behind doing certain exercises or not pushing past the pain. I feel like an active participant in my treatment which I really value.“

“It's rare these days to find healthcare practitioners who are genuinely invested in your well-being and demonstrate this with the utmost compassion and care. Bethesda Physiocare offers precisely this kind of experience, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found it. I had had dry needling in the past (as a part of my previous PT program) and was looking for someone to provide this service exclusively. After reading reviews, I decided to make an appointment with Noelle. My experience with her over these past few weeks has been nothing short of amazing. She is an exceptionally skilled provider who is clearly an expert in her field. Because of her breadth of experience and extraordinary needling skills, I always felt at ease and am now feeling SO much better than when I first came to see her. And she is just an overall lovely person who you can tell truly cares about her patients. The office is bright, clean, easily accessible and modern. I cannot recommend this practice, and specifically Noelle, highly enough. You will truly be in the best and most competent of hands.“

“I came to Performance Care to work on hamstrings issues that had been bothering me for over a year. Dr. Sam carefully listened to my issues and created a comprehensive plan to improve my pain. He gave great exercises and treatments that really helped me feel strong and able to keep working out at a high level.Sam was flexible and quick to answer my concerns when I reached out. His dedication to his patients is truly next level and completely worth it.“

“My left hip and back always ached for years probably due to running. A few months into training for a marathon, it became unbearably painful. I came to see Ariella several times, and 3 months later I ran that marathon with no pain in my left hip/back!I only wish I came to see Ariella and made an appointment at District Performance & Physio many years ago. Even though the marathon is over, I plan to continue seeing Ariella for all of the random aches that go along with running and other physical activity in order to prevent another injury. This practice is high quality and everyone cares a lot about their work and their clients. I couldn't recommend them more!“

“I’ve been working with Dr. Ben and the Rehab 2 Perform team for about 3 months now after tearing my Achilles tendon and having surgery. I can’t say enough great things about this facility: from the equipment, to the logistical experience (scheduling, billing, insurance, etc), to the amazing staff. Lindsay and Amber at the front desk are great to work with, especially with explaining insurance benefits and process, they’re also super friendly and it’s great seeing them every time. Physical therapy with Dr. Ben has been everything I could have asked for and then some. Throughout the process he’s clearly communicated the goals and milestones I should aim for and his gradual process has given me the confidence to push myself and recover more effectively than I expected. The atmosphere of the facility is awesome as well, everyone’s friendly and it feels like a community. Because the processes are so thorough and calculated, all trainers are in the loop on your progress so if you have to schedule with someone else, it’s like they’ve been working with you the whole time. I’ve had a few sessions with Dr. Joe and he’s great as well: his energy and enthusiasm makes the sessions fun and challenging. Recovering from a major injury is intimidating, but Dr. Ben and Dr. Joe have made the process feel attainable and safe while challenging at the same time. While this place has an emphasis on sports recovery and you’ll be sharing the space with some legit athletes, it’s a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“I'm so thankful that I had Chris Burton for PT following my knee replacement. He was the winning combination of personable, informative, sensitive and tough. He took the time to explain why each exercise was important.He encouraged me along the way - that positive spirit and dedication to getting me thru it, got me thru it!I did the work but I know my progress is largely due to the guidance he provided.Thank you Phoenix, for Chris!“

“PT Solutions of Falls Church has the most kind and efficient staff. Scheduling was both convenient and flexible. My physical therapist, Erika, was immediately able to identify my injury and tailor a plan for me to recover quickly. The facility is well-kept (with complimentary mints) and they keep the atmosphere light and fun with different genres of music. I will miss going to this facility, but I am happy to have recovered.“

“I recently had a reoccurrence of an old Achilles tendon injury that left me hobbling. In addition, at the same time, my wife was recovering from a full left knee replacement which would require extensive PT, once she had sufficiently healed to begin PT. Star arranged to schedule our PT sessions at basically the same time, which was a great convenience.Our experience with the staff physical therapists was outstanding. I was principally assigned to Kyra ("Kiki") who was extremely professional and knowledgable and gradually increased the difficulty of the exercises which has advanced my ultimate recovery significantly. When Kyra was not available, I was taken care of by Kirsten (sp?) and James and there was no falloff in professionalism. Marty's physical therapist was principally Aeysha (sp?), who was also, both extremely professional and patient with Marty in light of the seriousness of her operation.It was important to my wife and me that we achieve a level of ability to enable us to drive to Florida where we would be spending the winter. Based on the efforts of our physical therapists, we were able to do so.Two other benefits: (1) because of our physical therapists' good humor and conviviality, we actually looked forward to going to PT. They were friendly, funny and engaging while at the same time extremely professional; and (2) for me, I could observe the remarkable strides my wife, Marty, made from major surgery. At the beginning, she was naturally tentative. By the end, because of the evident strides she had made, it was hard to know that she had had such major surgery so recently. Marty and I give Sports Therapy our highest recommendation. Dan Toomey and Marty Rogers.“

“Advantage is absolutely wonderful! I see Sarah to rehab my knee after TKR plus two additional surgeries to repair a ruptured patellar tendon, then a cast for 3 months. Sarah is very supportive and encouraging.....even though she puts me through my paces (and sometimes it's not real comfortable), I'm making consistent progress and I credit Sarah with motivating me to keep working hard. Although I don't work with the other therapists at Advantage, they are all friendly, supportive of all of the clients and very well-trained in their field. I meed to have my other knee replaced, and when the time comes for rehab I'll be back under Sarah's care at Advantage.“

“Dry needling has been a cure for me! I had a very old hip injury (turns out a sprain) for many many years I went to see different orthopedic doctors that could not find anything wrong based on the xrays and the MRIs, their diagnosis: Bursitis of the hip.Most of them recommended physical therapy, which I did but pain would return, others recommended cortisone shots and even surgery last resort. Well I did NOT want any of them, even though I was NOT able to do squats, or run, or bicycle (these movements would aggravate my hip pain).THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD OF DRY NEEDELING, (where they insert a very thin needle (like acupuncture needle) targeting the tight muscle, and quickly removing the needle) and VOILA the pain is GONE!!I don't like needles, not a phobia but just don't like them. I had 4 needles inserted total, 3/4 were not painful at all just a small discomfort. There's soreness the next day but PAIN FREE and STILL pain free after 1.5 months. Amazing just AMAZING! Now I just need to strengthen the muscles in the hip and leg areas, they gave me exercises to do at home.Ken, Rebecca, and Mona are all very friendly and accommodating. Would def recommend to others !FYI. I only went to the Gaithersburg location, small and renovated and there are many other practices in the same building. IF you park on the largest parking lot its easier to find their practice.“

“Would definitely recommend BE’s service. Santiago worked with my mom for a few sessions and we saw improvement in her mobility right away. He was very patient and encouraging, my mother looked forward to every session. Thank you for everything!“

“Allied Health Solutions has the most caring and knowledgable team of Physical Therapists. They work on a variety of conditions from concussions, scoliosis, and TMJ. They also have a wonderful OT. Madhura provides dry needling, too! They are just well rounded and actually give you attention.“

“Jamie is an excellent listener who customizes treatment and exercises to help you move beyond injury to longer term wellness. She is especially knowledgeable about sports injury treatment.“

“The concierge service with Little Feet is amazing! It’s convenient that our PT, Megan, comes to our house and helps build our son’s skills and confidence in a familiar setting.“

“Excellent; the best. I highly recommend Falls Church Physical Therapy and Movement Health. Dr. Jennifer Halvaksz is a superb diagnostician and therapist. I recommended Jennifer to five other people with different physical issues, all of whom said the same thing. I suffered from severe arthritis in my hip that interfered with my bike riding and even walking and sleeping. The orthopedist recommended hip replacement, which I wanted to postpone. Through sessions with Dr. Halvaksz and following the exercises that she prescribed, I was able to put off hip replacement surgery for three years. Moreover, because of the exercises she had me doing, my recovery from replacement surgery went quickly; I was climbing stairs the same day, walking without support after about a week, riding a bike on a trainer in the house after three weeks, and riding outside in about 6 weeks. I now routinely commute to work on a bike (ten miles one way), go mountain biking in real mountains, and walk without issues. I still see Jennifer periodically for the occasional muscle or back problem (I am 61, so…). Jennifer also has a terrific bedside manner, she carefully explains the causes of pain and how therapy can help, and, moreover, she knows how to make people feel better – indeed, positive! – about themselves. I trust Dr. Halvaksz implicitly; I know that she will make me feel better in both the short and long term. (Plus she is simply a terrific person.)“

“Leizel is so kind, patient! She listened to all my daughters concerns and provided her with a game plan for healing!“

“I’m so grateful to have connected with Jennifer Varnell at DMV Home Therapy! Thank you for the ST referrals. Jennifer goes above and beyond to meet the needs of her patients with outstanding home based PT and OT services. Her staff is phenomenal and are highly knowledgeable!!!“

“I can’t recommend this practice enough.One of the first things I noticed in working with Dr. Palaia is that she won’t waste your time with surface-level PT exercises (if you have done physical therapy before and been discouraged by the results, you know exactly what I mean by this). She understands that true healing requires a holistic approach and takes the time to delve deeper into the underlying issues. Her expertise in various techniques and modalities allow me to experience a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. Dr. Palaia is not just an exceptional physical therapist, but she truly feels like a coach and partner in health.But what truly sets her apart is her compassion and empathy. She genuinely cares about her clients' well-being and creates a safe and nurturing environment for healing. Although being in pain can feel vulnerable, isolating, and even scary, Dr. Palaia’s kind and exceptionally patient demeanor make me feel comfortable and supported throughout sessions.Thanks to her exceptional skills and dedication, I have experienced significant improvement in my overall well-being. Not only has Dr. Palaia helped me tremendously alleviate my pain, but she also empowers me with the knowledge and tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent future injuries.If you're searching for a physical therapist who is passionate about total body healing, spends quality time with her clients, listens deeply, and partners with you to get to the root of your pain, I highly recommend her. She is a true testament to the power of exceptional care and expertise in the journey to healing.“

“Dr. Dickson is the best DPT in the DMV area!Last August, I sprained my right ankle, resulting in limited mobility and strength. From the first session, I knew I could put my trust in Dr. Dickson from her passion and diligence, leading to a 100% recovery after a month of her sessions and additional cross-training.Dr. Dickson is very personable, as she carefully assesses her clients' physicality, tailoring individual exercises to their needs. As a pre-professional dancer at a high-caliber collegiate program, incorporating Dr. Dickson's instruction alongside my dance classes results in wonders because I continue to reach peak performance.During my seasonal breaks, I continue to work with Dr. Dickson because, although I've recovered, my work is never done, and she remains to be my biggest supporter.Go sign up now!!!?“

“This place is fantastic. I saw Tony for some recent knee pain. He not only quickly saw the cause of it but I learned that my longtime digestive issues were related to my hyper mobility. Highly recommend this place it's fantastic“

“Michelle helped me recover from a chronic shoulder pain - it's not only about the treatment per se during the sessions, but also her holistic approach and advice that enables you to make shifts in your daily routine with a longterm positive impact on your health. Thank you Michelle!“

“I love this place! Clean clean clean, the staff is great I am always greeted with smiles and great music. Jordan is friendly and is always very encouraging when you are struggling over that last little exercise hump. G. Lawrence is an amazing physical therapist she has really taught me a lot about the muscles and really fights for her patients health. I appreciate that! Last but not least Ms. Robinson front office she is the best scheduling is a breeze and she has the calmest voice. She makes sure you are well informed. This place is hidden gem!“

“Bret is amazing! I was in so much pain and couldn’t use my right hand. He helped me heal, strengthen, and get back to my life! Everyone at his practice is warm, engaging and supportive. I highly recommend Bret!“

“Linda is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I am extremely pleased the way she explains. I will highly recommend her for pelvic floor strengthening exercises.“
