Bodies In Motion Physical Therapy

It’s been a while since I was at Bodies in Motion and I wanted to wait to write a review to verify that my pain didn’t return. Well, here we are…
I had a wonderful experience at Bodies in Motion. I’d never been to physical therapy before, but my orthopedic surgeon recommended it before trying surgery on my shoulder pain. I randomly picked Bodies in Motion based on some good reviews and I couldn’t have been happier.
I was assigned Jamie as my therapist and worked with her for about 8 weeks. She was awesome. Everyone in the office has an awesome attitude and they truly seem to enjoy working with folks. (I usually left laughing about something Sam and Jamie were talking about.)
The best part is that it’s been nearly 6 months and I haven’t needed surgery on my shoulder. Jamie gave me a few exercises to do at home to loosen my shoulder up. Then, she was able to coax me into trying some dry needling that really seemed to help. (I was very hesitant to try the dry needling, but it actually felt pretty good after the fact. There was no pressure from her, just a simple, professional recommendation.) I’m back to my normal lifting, cycling, and snowboarding lifestyle.
If you’re in need of a physical therapist, you really can’t beat the attitude in this office. It was fun to work with this group and I’ll go back if I ever need physical therapy again. Top notch.

I just completed two months of treatment, and while I really don’t want to need more physical therapy if I do I’ll certainly return to Bodies in Motion in Fairfax. This was my third experience with physical therapy (chronically bad shoulder and arthritis in the lower neck), and my first time at Bodies in Motion. My time with Sam was not only very effective, it was fun too. He is an upbeat therapist who knows his stuff and knows how to explain it as well. The atmosphere is extraordinarily friendly and flexible. Stephanie cheerfully set up my schedule and managed my copayments with ease.
I left feeling much better physically, but also enjoyed every session. The conversations flowed (and I’m typically shy). Unlike my previous experiences at other PT offices, Sam was the only therapist I worked with throughout my treatment. In my previous experiences, the primary therapist often did one bit of work (the massage, for example), and then I was passed off to one of several interns or junior therapists for other exercises, etc. The assistants were not able to track my progress or even fully understand the extent of my injuries.
For old vets of therapy or rookies, I can’t imagine a better facility or therapist for your treatment (not saying the other therapists are as good – I only worked with Sam).
