What Patients Say

★★★★★

Joey is amazing and really takes his time figuring out what you need. He was the only PT who could figure out I had a nerve injury (something two others could not assess) he’s very thorough in making a full regimen to treat and prevent injuries after the initial assessment. 10/10 cannot recommend enough!

Lindsey M.Google Review

★★★★★

Was a great experience. I was suffering of a few things, but my worst pain was medial elbow pain (golfer’s elbow) Joey is very knowledgeable with great bedside manners. His diagnosis was on point. On the same session he did dry needling of my golfers elbow. Two weeks later it was almost completely gone. I was able to play tennis again today after a few months resting on it without any improvement. I am sure the dry needling plus the stretching exercises he instructed me have helped significantly.

★★★★★

Dr. Joey was paramount in my rehabilitation from my cervical spine herniation’s. I was experiencing tons of nerve issues and loss of power in my left arm. It made working out and everyday life very difficult. Getting the diagnosis and imaging of a herniation was definitely very scary, but Joey made the rehab process a breeze and prescribed plenty of nerve exercises along with his manually therapy I was back to normal in no time.

I can’t recommend Joey enough! I was dealing with an issue in my glute medius while training for a half marathon, and he was incredibly thorough during my initial assessment. He provided a recovery plan and consistently followed up to monitor my progress. Joey is a PT who truly cares about his patients’ success!

★★★★★

Dr. Joey is hands down the best. He was able to walk me through everything and give me a quick diagnosis with my issue that I brought to him. His expertise is unmatched. He’s great at translating whatever problems you’re dealing with into normal words so the client understands what’s going on. Highly recommend his services, extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Brandon B.Google Review

★★★★★

I was treated by Dr. Joey Masri, an orthopedic specialist in physical therapy. Not only did he listen to my issues about my chronic low back pain, he came up with an organized treatment plan and helped me establish a routine to fix it for good! He is an expert in manual therapy and dry needling, and a specialist in strength and conditioning, which helped me get back to playing full-time and pain-free.

Natalia W.Google Review

★★★★★

I was referred to Joey by a friend, and he has been nothing short of amazing in helping me recover from a shoulder injury. Joey is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but he also genuinely cares about my recovery. He took the time to understand the root cause of my pain and tailored a program specifically to address it. His approach is thorough and effective, making the whole process enjoyable. If you’re looking for a PT who truly knows what he’s doing and is dedicated to your well-being, Joey is the one to go to. Highly rec!!

Read Full Bio

Dr. Masri earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2016, and holds Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist credentials from the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

In 2020 he became board-certified in clinical orthopedic physical therapy — a credential held by fewer than 1 in 10 physical therapists.

Before becoming a Concierge Physical Therapist, he founded Vice City Sports Medicine in Miami, FL — a premier sports and outpatient orthopedic facility, developing a deep manual therapy skill set alongside top-tier personal trainers, strength coaches, and sports medicine physicians.

His approach is extensively hands-on — cupping, dry needling, soft tissue work, active stretching, and joint mobilization — paired with individualized programming that combines strength and conditioning with targeted mobility work to manage pain, correct movement patterns, and hit performance goals.

He treats a wide range of pathologies, surgical and non-surgical: neck and back pain, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, foot and ankle issues, and neurological conditions.

The Process

Getting It Done

Four phases, every case, start to finish.

Find the Cause

A full orthopedic exam, performed by a board-certified specialist, to determine the root cause of your injury — not just the spot that hurts.

Come Up With a Plan

We will discuss the best course of action to treat your injury — including manual therapy, dry needling, strength work, corrective drills, and so forth — time-tabled and with your goals in mind.

Return Stronger

By implementing our plan, we will see you through to the end. You return to your sport or activity better than before, with the highest level of confidence in what your body can handle.

Keep You in the Game

You will always be supported even after we're done with formal treatment. We'll work together to create the right approach to maintain your gains and continue your progress.

What that looks like in practice

Services

Orthopedic rehab

Diagnosis-led treatment for injury, pain and post-operative recovery.

Manual therapy

Hands-on soft tissue work, joint mobilization and active stretching.

Dry needling

Targeted needling to reduce pain and restore movement, by a certified provider.

Cupping

Decompression of tight, irritable tissue — usually alongside manual work.

Blood flow restriction

Builds strength at low load. Useful early after surgery or when load hurts.

Strength & conditioning

Programming that loads the tissue properly so the fix actually holds.

Mobility work

Range of motion and control, built around what you actually need to do.

Sports recovery

Between-session work to keep you training while you rehab.

Every visit is built from whichever of these the exam calls for — not a fixed protocol.

Commonly Asked Questions

Good to Know

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.
