Physical Therapy in Charlottesville, VA
Healthcare Done Differently
Do you feel like this is you?
Are you trying to stay or get healthy/fit but can’t because of pain stopping you from exercising?
Are you worried that an injury will stop you from participating in activities you love such as working out, powerlifting, CrossFit, running, golf or just hanging out with friends and family?
Are you feeling stuck with a chronic injury or pain that just hasn’t gone away?
Are you unable to get back to activities you love without flaring old injuries?
Have you seen other medical providers in the past with no long-lasting change in your pain?
We put the focus on solving these problems with our clients without pain medication, surgery, or unnecessary activity restrictions.
“My goal is to help you stay active or get back to your favorite sport or activity.”

Who Can Benefit?
Active Lifestyle
You may not identify as an athlete but you are active – From keeping up with your kids, getting in a round of golf, hitting the gym, or going for a hike, you deserve to be doing all of those things pain-free and for a lifetime. I can help you get back to the life you had before you were slowed down by an injury, nagging pain, or limited mobility.
Athletes
From CrossFit, powerlifting to golf or triathlons, your sport of choice may vary. However, the frustration and agony of limited mobility, injury, and pain are the same. I understand the commitment it takes to perform at your highest level and am just as committed to getting you back to peak performance as soon as safely possible

He was great to work with, I had some serious pain in my neck and after several nerve blocks it wasn’t getting better. After working through some exercises and stretches I went home with some easy maintenance stretches and through the whole process he always would reach out and check in to see how I was doing. About 2 weeks later and I was doing great! Highly recommend!

Dr. Barb is amazing! Alan guided me through several weeks of physical therapy for Achilles tendonitis. He conducted a very thorough history and assessment and developed an effective treatment plan that consisted of in person one-on-one therapy with home exercises. His approach was so effective I ran a PR at my most recent 5K!!!
