What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist is a graduate school trained expert in injury diagnosis, injury treatment, exercise prescription, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of sport and health and fitness.

What do I need to bring?

Be prepared to provide your previous medical or surgical history. If you have them and if they are relevant bring scan/MRI reports, and list of medication. You may wish to bring shorts and t-shirt.

How many visits will I need?

The number of treatments will vary depending on the problem and individual. After a thorough assessment, the physiotherapist will discuss their treatment plan for the rehabilitation process.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear something in which you are comfortable.  Keep in mind, you may sweat from some of the exercises, so athletic ware, such as shorts, sweatpants or a sweatshirt, will work best.

How do I make an appointment?

You can get in touch by phone (703) 725-4972.

Do I have to be referred by a doctor?

No, physical therapists can assess and treat without referral by a doctor.

Treatment duration depends on your diagnosis, the severity of your impairments, your past medical history, and other factors.  Re-evaluations will be done to assess your progress and your therapist communicates with your physician to help you achieve your therapy goals.

We see and treat patients for a wide range of conditions and diagnoses.  Please visit our Services for an extensive list of conditions and diagnoses we see patients for.

Our physical therapists have experience with Orthopedic, Geriatric, Neurologic, and Pediatric patients.
