"Within 6 weeks of working with Joe, I was back on the trails with ZERO hip and knee pain—a feat I didn't believe possible without serious intervention. I can now easily run 4-5 miles without discomfort and I'm able to run with my son again. I've continued working with Joe so I can remain injury free and learn how to train better for long-term health. I learn something new at every appointment!"

FAQs
Your first visit includes completing paperwork, providing your insurance card and referral (if needed), and a comprehensive evaluation with your therapist. We'll discuss your medical history, current problems, and goals, then perform physical tests to assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.
Virginia allows direct access to physical therapy, so you don't always need a referral. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before treatment. We're also providers for Workers' Compensation and auto insurance cases.
Treatment sessions typically last 30-60 minutes. The number of visits varies greatly depending on your condition and goals - some patients need just a few visits while others require several months of care. We'll reassess monthly and provide progress reports.
Wear loose-fitting clothing that exposes the area being treated (shorts for knee problems, tank top for shoulders, etc.). Bring your referral, insurance card, and any relevant case information for Workers' Comp or auto insurance claims.
While some techniques may cause mild discomfort, especially when recovering range of motion after surgery, treatment should never be unbearably painful. We'll work within your comfort level and use various pain relief techniques. Communication about your pain levels helps us adjust your treatment.
You'll work with the same licensed physical therapist throughout your care to ensure continuity. Treatments may include hands-on techniques, therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and modalities like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat, or cold therapy - all customized to your specific needs.
