They accepted both HMO - and PPO- base insurance/s. Overall my personal experience in this facility was ok, I did not get injured after walking out of Jackson physical therapy clinic and their Staff were sufficient and demeanors were friendly and not rude professionals.

The facilities are clean and they have lots of exercise machines, bands, weights, etc. They do get booked pretty quickly so call now to make an appointment because the longer you wait, the longer you'll need to wait to be seen.

But I went to PT Solutions in McLean for Pelvic Floor PT because they took my insurance (most good Pelvic PT places don't). During the first visit my pelvic floor was actually misdiagnosed/mis-assessed (unbeknownst to me). Before the second session my therapist had gone away for a week and a half (nobody informed me) and I was called the day of my appt and asked if I would be "ok" with a male therapist (nope). On the third visit after a different female therapist said "I'm not seeing what (the first) therapist saw, (on her assessment)" I lost all confidence in the practice. BUT I still gave the group another try because...insurance. In the end, half of the exercises I was given were exercises I was already doing and/or things I could find online by searching for "pelvic floor exercises." Seriously. Moreover the therapist kept giving me exercises that could have caused me potential injury (lower back and hip) even though I had told my therapist in writing what my physical limitations were. The therapist also promised she would reach out to the other therapist I was seeing for my knee/hip to make sure she was aware of my limitations, but she took over a month to do so. When I said that I would not do anything that could cause pain to my back or hip/knee, the therapist actually said "well we expect some level of pain with PT." I also witnessed older patients doing exercises while un-observed-- while the therapists were typing on their computers with their backs to patients -- which scared the heck out of me. I made my concerns about my own health known to the therapist and she felt I didn't respect her treatment, which, ultimately I did not. She also felt that my pelvic floor issues were related to my hip (they are not) and asked if I would let her treat my hip (another nope) and we decided to part ways. They were supposed to send me my records/assessment so I could give it to my new pelvic floor therapist, but they never did. I did see a subsequent Pelvic Floor PT group, which sadly does not take insurance, but I got a proper diagnosis and more help from one session with that other therapist than I did in 5+ weeks at PT Solutions. For any middle-aged women who really needs pelvic floor PT, please go see someone who has years of experience (not 2 or 3) who is qualified to do an internal assessment, otherwise you are wasting your time, money and, in my opinion, risking your health. You may have to pay out-of-pocket but you'll get more out of it.

When I say that Sarah Sheridan changed my life, I'm not exaggerating…read more I was diagnosed with an incurable debilitating condition called POTS in 2021. My doctor suggested that I try physical therapy to help improve my symptoms. I was very skeptical at first - after all I went from being a very active person to not even being able to walk for 5 minutes without symptoms. But, I gave it a shot. Now, after 9 months or so of PT, I'm back to walking 10k steps without symptoms and am getting back on my Peloton bike after years of not being able to!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the POTS program to anyone suffering with this illness. Sarah is kind, patient, upbeat, understanding, and a constant cheerleader. She pushes you but not TOO hard that you want to stop. I started seeing results in a couple of months after doing the protocol. Today, I graduated. Not only is Sarah wonderful, the rest of the staff is too. They are all helpful, always with a smile. Make sure you schedule early and often because Sarah books up fast!!

I've been going to Alliance Physical Therapy (Fairfax) for several months and I can't say enough…read moregood things about my experiences and treatment here. I've never been in physical therapy a day before in my life, so I was nervous and not sure what to expect. I was sent to PT by an orthopedic doctor after I sought help for chronic lower back pain. I've dealt with it for 5-6 years but a 100% telework schedule due to COVID kicked it into high gear. It was debilitating and got to the point where I would just lay down and cry because of how much it hurt. They've done a great job of making patients feel safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone wears masks and hand sanitizer is widely available throughout the office. The front desk has an acrylic partition and they're great about using hand sanitizer when they collect your payment. All the staff are constantly cleaning equipment. Now, onto the physical therapists themselves. I first met with Dr. Hiral Naik. She did my initial assessment and then gave me some at-home exercises to keep up on. She then gave me a deep-tissue massage which HURT but I felt great afterwards. I had no idea I had so much tension. I started working with Dr. Josh Summers after that. He's a fantastic instructor and got me working on a regular round of exercises at the office. I'm now more aware of my body and know how to work out safely. Form is everything! Dr. Rachel Odom is now my regular PT and let me tell you - she changed my life. During our first session together, she identified issues with my hip/pelvis alignment and corrected it. This whole time, I thought I had issues with my spine!! The relief was immediate and I spent the rest of my week gliding around, amazed that I was no longer in debilitating pain. I see Rachel regularly now, once per week, and she's great about regulating my pain, guiding me through new exercises to strengthen my muscles, and follow-through on what I'm doing at home. Posture, stretching, minding your alignment, and strengthening. Everyone has always been friendly, professional, and they genuinely care about your pain management and health. For years, my friends and coworkers were saying that I was exaggerating my pain or that I was "too young" to have back pain. Josh and Rachel immediately knew something was wrong. It was incredibly validating to know that I wasn't crazy and that yes, my pain really was that bad. They have done everything in their power (and continue to!) to treat me. I have a long way to go before I think I can graduate from PT but my qualify of life is so much better. My pain is now at a manageable level and I'm more aware of my body than I was before. Scheduling my appointments are easy - the front desk staff has always been friendly (Chris and Tammy). I have a weekly standing appointment and regularly receive text message reminders. I pay up-front, sign, and schedule my appointment for the following week then and there. The location is super easy to get to and parking is plentiful. Be aware of tight corners around the parking garage, it can get a little crowded during peak hours. Overall, can't recommend this place enough!

It was incredibly distracting and my therapist had to yell over the music to complete the intake. 2 minutes into the intake, my therapist insulted my prior treatment plan and then proceeded to insult me 4-5 more times throughout the duration of the appointment referencing my lack of education (which is insane since I have a post-grad degree) and my occupation and employer. The final straw was that her calendar was booked out 1.5 months in advance and she told me that I was not allowed to switch to another provider. I immediately called my insurance company and asked for the referral to be transferred to another business. This was the most traumatic and unhelpful appointment.

The Doc said it was one of the worst tears he had ever seen. The therapists were conscientious of this and approached with extreme care. I initially started out three visits per week. The PT eased me to the pain and not through it as prescribed by the Doc. Over time my motions were normalizing. The PTs kept testing my movement abilities, and again not pushing. I was "handled with care". Eventually I reduced my number of visits to 2 visits a week then every other week. I am back to normal, or at least 99%. I would like to thank Nancy for having such a great group of PTs who assisted me, Petya, Kim, Courtney, Jacob, Allison and Nancy herself.

I've gone to several PT practices over the years for different issues, and they are among the best I've experienced. I've made very rapid progress thanks to the care I've received, and have no doubt I will reach 100% in the near future if I finish my regimen at Ascend.
