Annie and the team at Active Health are great at what they do. This is the best way to get PT, in the comfort of your own home. I have used Annie for two sports injuries and her support is practical and effective; I am back to running as fast as ever. read more

Annie is a wonderful PT and was great to work with. I love that they do home visits, which makes a huge difference for accessibility.

Active Health Solutions has completely reimagined and upgraded the physical therapy experience for the better, and I cannot recommend their innovative services and personalized model enough. I was recommended to Dr. Annie Koslow after months of physical therapy from a franchised provider had made little difference with ongoing back and leg pain from a herniated disc. From the first appointment, it was clear that Active Health Solutions is not the "one size fits all" PT that I had been accustomed to: Annie spent much of the hour having me do certain exercises and tasks to aid with a diagnosis, taking detailed notes on her laptop, and taking time to explain the anatomy and science behind the various issues that she was noticing. Within minutes, she had pointed out that certain exercises that I had been prescribed by my previous PT could actually be aggravating my injury, as opposed to improving it. She was encouraging but realistic about the time that it might take to a) get to a place where there was no pain and b) then to a place where I could resume normal activities, but set out a game plan that was personalized, was tailored to my lifestyle (which involves frequent travel) and my goals (no need to be running marathons, but wanted to be able to resume my far more modest physical hobbies). Each week, I would leave with an updated set of goals and objectives (accompanied by an email summarizing the appointment and instructions, including videos). And after a few months of weekly sessions (all from the convenience of my house), we got there, and I am pain free and back to my normal life 2 years later. Annie is a dedicated and sophisticated medical professional who cheered me through my improvements and kept me focused during setbacks - I highly recommend Active Health Solutions! read more

Annie and her team are truly gifted practitioners. Both a knee and a shoulder have been under their care and results off the charts. If you have been underwhelmed by PT try the combination of dry needling and follow-on exercises - life changing. And they come to your home. read more

I have worked with Annie off and on for more than a year. She is an amazing, thoughtful, and effective PT. (and more). She treats the whole person, never just jumping to the "recommended protocol" based on first presentation. Watch out for those dry needles. They work! I would recommend Annie to anyone, anyday. She's the best! read more

Overall great experience, and am currently working with Marwan to get more sessions set up. Pros: -They come to your house (appropriately masked for covid!) so instead of wasting an hour commuting there and trying to find parking, it truly is just an hour out of your day; for anyone with crazy work hours, this is THE BEST! -Very responsive, easy to schedule time with, professional, courteous etc. -Great combo of exercises to help build strength and reduce pain long-term and manual massage to relieve acute pain (some PTs i've seen focus too much on one or the other) -Seem very knowledgeable; Marwan actually fixed a separate issue with my lower back literally by appraising my posture and checking a few alignment things, and then recommending some ways to fix it. He also enabled me to get back into barre classes by assessing my shoulder pain and determining whether it was weak vs. injured. Cons -Active Health does a model where you pay upfront and then submit to your insurance for reimbursement, which can be a huge pain if you're lazy like me and don't get around to submitting quickly. That said, they are VERY transparent about this upfront, and explain that this model gives them flexible to treat based on how they think will best help you, not how the insurance companies want you to be treated to minimize cost. read more

Annie took awesome care of me after my collarbone surgery. From the start, she emphasized my personal goals while also working towards getting me fully functioning. Over the weeks we worked together, she introduced multiple exercises to my routine, continually refined messy mechanics, and offered valuable suggestions to relieve unrelated back pain. I've already referred friends to Annie and will continue to do so. read more

Annie treated me after a bike accident laid me up. She was thoughtful, caring, and incredibly effective!! She made a program that perfectly suited my goal of getting back on the bike ASAP. Almost good as new at this point! read more

Annie is a fantastic physical therapist. She is very caring and thoughtful while providing clear communication and easy-to-understand exercises. I greatly appreciated her approach to recovery, wanting to provide solutions that I could continue to work on even after our work together was finished. She helped me work through some knee pain starting in February of 2020. Her in-home visits were so productive, and so easy to schedule. We continued working together as she transitioned over to virtual visits, and I was amazed at how much Annie was able to pick up over video and make corrections throughout our virtual visits. Highly recommend you get in touch with Annie for any PT needs. read more

Dr. Annie Koslow is my ninth (!) and best physical therapist. She's extremely knowledgeable and professional, and also has a wonderful bedside manner. She comes to you (residence or business), and just needs enough room for her massage table and a place to show you exercises. She's very skilled in dry needling, which has been a game changer for me. read more

Annie has put me back together twice. Two years ago when a developed a nasty knee/hip/back complex and then most recently when I wrecked my shoulder skiing. She is a gifted practitioner and a terrific person. When I hurt the shoulder I was thinking the way this should work is that the PT comes to me not that I lose 1.5 hours in the middle of the day and -- voila -- Annie had actually set up this business. She fixed my shoulder in my family room over the course of 16 evening visits in eight weeks. Unbelievably convenient and with the same Annie smarts and caring. Should also be noted that Annie is a master with the dry needle. read more

Dr. Koslow is a miracle worker. I've been suffering back and shoulder pain for months from work - between stress, carrying a heavy bag on my commute, and sitting at a desk all day, everything hurt. I made an appointment with Dr. Koslow, and she came to me on my schedule (SO nice, given my work hours). After an assessment of my pain and mobility, she spent 20 minutes or so working on my back. While sore that night, I woke up feeling 100 times better. She also gave me a few exercises I could do at my desk to prevent the pain from returning and filmed it so I'd have a visual of what to do. So far, so good! Between the convenience and the quality of Dr. Koslow's visits, I'd recommend her to anyone. read more

These are some of the best physical therapists I've worked with in DC. Professional, knowledgeable, great customer service and follow up. I had several other therapists work on my shoulder without success. The first exercise Active Health recommended, worked to significantly ease my pain. I will continue working with them to gain full strength in my shoulder and will work with them for other pain management issues I have. read more

I went to Annie (Dr. Koslow) for lower back pain that was so bad I couldn't sleep and was in awful pain no matter what I did. She is super knowledgeable, well prepared, and friendly. She ran me through a series of exercises to strengthen my core and take pressure off my back. She also gave me exercises to work on between visits. Annie really put me at ease by explaining what was happening to my back and the plan for rehabbing it. In less than two months I went from excruciating pain to being pain and pain killer free and back to all the exercise I love including commuting to work by bicycle. I am now injury free and still do the core exercises to prevent future back pain. I hope I don't have another injury but if I do I would definitely go back to Annie and highly recommend her as a great PT! read more

Annie is an incredible physical therapist! Her excellent patient rapport and depth of clinical knowledge are only part of what makes her outstanding. Annie will adapt your treatment to your needs, to fit your life style, and your personal goals. I attribute the longevity of my running career, and thus my mental and physical health to her! read more

Love Active Health Solutions and working with Annie! She was always super responsive and able to accommodate my crazy schedule, and most importantly, is an excellent physical therapist. By following her customized recommendations for me, I was able to relieve my chronic upper back pain in weeks. I highly recommend her! read more

When I came to Annie I'd been having neck and shoulder pain for years. Apparently it was due to shoulder misalignment from when I did gymnastics as a child, but the pain would get so bad when I slept on my side that it was almost debilitating. I ended up training myself to sleep on my back before seeking physical therapy. However, Annie knew just what to do. She took a detailed history, took measurements, examined me, taught me exercises to do at home in between our sessions, and was very friendly and easy to work with. Most importantly, she helped me get excellent results. I no longer have any neck or shoulder pain and regularly sleep on my side! read more

I was suffering for about 1.5 years with a knee injury- an ACL tear, and thought the pain I was having was my new norm- unless I had surgery. After having a friend refer me to Dr. Koslow, I was proven wrong! Annie got my knee and whole leg back to normal and I am now back to running pain free. On top of her wonderful medical expertise, she also has an exceptional bedside manner. If you are having any issues, Annie is the person to see to get you back to your normal self! read more

Annie Koslow is one of the best physical therapists I have been to. I have had a number of injuries over the past 20 years, and I came to her after a recurring shoulder issue flared up again. What I appreciated most is her holistic approach. Instead of focusing on just the area in pain, she took the time to do a thorough assessment - she realized that this shoulder issues and a few previous injuries were all stemming from a different root cause (my hip not my shoulder!). She then gave me exercises and a comprehensive plan to strengthen muscles and get me back into action quickly. This approach feels much more sustainable and I'm seeing more lasting impact than I had with previous PT. Would highly recommend! read more

I was referred to Annie by my ortho surgeon post ankle reconstruction surgery this past winter. She was very quick to respond to me and answered all of my questions. The convenience of her care delivery model where she came to my house with her table and such to work on my ankle was totally worth the cost. She also focused on helping me with manual therapy as well as teaching me how to do exercises on my own, which was wonderful compared to previous PT models I'd had where I'd go in and they would just watch me do repetitive exercises for the hour (most of the time while they had 4 other patients who they were working on). Annie is very cheerful and fun to talk to, making PT sessions pleasant, but she also really knows what she is doing and will call you out if you're doing too much or not enough. She helped me recover from my second major ankle reconstruction, I'm almost back to running 9 months out from my surgery. I never thought I'd run again, and I owe a lot of this to her. Bottom line - go with Annie, you won't regret it! read more

As a recreational athlete recovering from shoulder surgery, Annie has been absolutely essential to my rehab. She created a very effective regimen and adjusted treatment depending on my goals and how I was feeling each session. The flexibility Annie offers was really important for me to continue working and getting back to a normal schedule. She's also affable and patient, which was appreciated during the tougher days of my therapy. I would highly recommend Annie to anyone needing physical therapy! read more

Annie was my Physical Therapist in CT prior to her moving to Wash DC. I suffered from stenosis, following a hip replacement. She is terrific. She is very hand-on, insightful, a good diagnostician, a good listener, and smart. Also a pleasure to work with. I have used many different PT providers over the years, and she was my favorite. Most effective. read more

Annie is a miracle worker. I could barely walk when I came to her (low back/disc problems) and after a few months I was starting to run again. She is patient and kind and really knows what she's talking about! I found her by searching the most highly rated PT practice in DC, but now that she's making house calls, it's a no-brainer. read more

Annie is the best PT I've ever had, and I've had a lot of them. She fixed multiple problems - back, shoulder, neck, hip - with a range of therapies, all of which produced significant results. She also has great bedside manner, and listened carefully to my symptoms, concerns and past PT experiences before diagnosis and treatment. I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more
