ORTHOPEDIC AND MANUAL PHYSICAL THERAPY

If you have pain in your low back, neck, shoulders, knees, feet, or other muscles/joints in the body, orthopedic physical therapy can help you.  We offer one-on-one care utilizing a comprehensive biomechanical approach to understand the root cause of the musculoskeletal problem.  We use manual therapy, soft tissue massage, stretching, functional movement screening, targeted exercise for muscle activation, and electrical stimulation to help with pain relief.  We work with each patient to determine an individualized exercise plan to address their underlying problem.  Every program is focused on improving function so you can live your life without thinking about pain limiting you.

SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY

Sports injuries can make it difficult for you to perform at your desired level.  We have extensive experience treating athletes of all ages, ranging from little league players to professional athletes.  We have been team providers for the DC United Professional Soccer Team, local rugby teams, and high school teams, and we have worked alongside many local colleges to deliver high level care to their athletes.  We have worked with all levels of runners, ranging from someone who wants to do a "couch to 5k" program to high level ultra marathoners.  

We offer Functional Movement Screens (FMS), biomechanical examinations, video running analyses, soft tissue massage, instrument-assisted soft tissue massage, cupping, stretching, kinesiology taping, and examination of muscle activation strategies for appropriate firing patterns.  It is our goal to have every athlete performing at their highest level and to be better than before they were injured.

WORKPLACE ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENT CONSULTING

If you have pain in your neck/shoulders, elbows, or wrists while sitting at your desk at work, then workplace ergonomic consulting can help you.  Many people suffer from pain while sitting at their desks, because their ergonomics are not set up appropriately.  We have a very specific examination procedure to make sure patients are optimizing their work environments to allow them to be able to work without straining their bodies.   We offer video consulting or in-person consulting at your work place to determine the best ergonomic setup to minimize risk for pain and injury.
