What is concierge physical therapy?
Concierge physical therapy brings the treatment to you. Instead of driving to a clinic and sitting in a waiting room, I come to your home, office, or gym — scheduled around your day, early mornings and evenings included.
You work one-on-one with the same doctor every session. No double-booking, no being handed to an aide halfway through, no shared treatment floor.
You also get a direct line to me between visits. If something flares up on a Saturday, or you are not sure whether to push through a workout, you text me and get an answer — not a voicemail and a callback next week.
What areas do you serve?
Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and close-in Maryland. The list below covers most of where I go regularly.
Virginia: Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, McLean, Vienna, Tysons, Annandale, Merrifield, Oakton, Fairfax, Springfield, Burke and Great Falls.
Washington DC: Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, Adams Morgan, Columbia Heights, Shaw, U Street, Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Tenleytown, Glover Park and the Palisades.
Maryland: Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Friendship Heights, North Bethesda and Potomac.
Somewhere not on the list? Ask anyway — if we can make it work, we will.
Do you take insurance?
No — this is a cash-pay, out-of-network practice. The upside is that the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
No facility fee. No travel surcharge. No separate line item for dry needling, cupping or any other technique. No bill turning up six weeks later for something nobody mentioned at the time. One rate, one hour, settled at the visit. You will never get a surprise invoice from me.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?
Usually not. Direct access means you can see a physical therapist without getting a physician referral first.
That matters more than it sounds. The conventional route is a primary care appointment two weeks out, then a referral, then a PT appointment two weeks after that — a month of an injury settling in and compensations forming while you wait. Starting while the problem is still young is most of the battle.
What conditions do you treat?
Surgical and non-surgical orthopedic and neurological conditions: low back pain and sciatica, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, golfer’s and tennis elbow, knee and meniscus tears, herniated discs, foot and ankle sprains, wrist and TFCC sprains, neck pain, nerve pain, and muscle strain or overuse injuries.
The diagnosis is only half of it, though. What matters is what it is stopping you doing. Most of what I see around here comes out of running, pickleball, golf, tennis, lifting, cycling and hiking — plus the desk-and-commute hours that quietly make every one of them worse.
The plan gets built backwards from whatever you are trying to get back to.
What is dry needling, and does it hurt?
Dry needling uses a thin filiform needle to target tight or irritable bands of muscle tissue in order to reduce pain and restore movement. Most people feel a brief cramp or twitch rather than sharp pain, and mild soreness for a day afterward is normal. It is performed here by a certified provider and is typically combined with hands-on manual therapy and loading exercise rather than used alone.
What should I expect at the first visit?
A full hour. A complete orthopedic evaluation to find the root cause — not just the spot that hurts — hands-on treatment in the same session, and a plan you can start that day.
We will also talk about where you are trying to get back to, because fixing the sore part is the first step rather than the point. A half marathon, a Saturday round, a court you have been avoiding, picking your kids up without bracing for it, sleeping through the night — that is the target, and the plan is built to reach it.
Wear something you can move in, and clear a space about the size of a yoga mat.
