I was referred to Select Physical Therapy by my primary care physician. I was assigned to Aesha Shah and she has eased the pain after every session. Aesha is incredibly knowledgeable just from seeing my posture on the day we first met. She explains all of the exercises in detail and provided print outs for me to continue at home. Aesha is always concerned about my pain level before each session, which shows that she truly cares for her patients. Along with being a professional physical therapist, Aesha is also fun to talk to! I did have a session with Yanna Zhou who was also pleasant to work with. Just about everyone at the facility are kind and helpful! The practice offers late appointments that allows you to easily come after work. They also thoroughly sanitize every equipment between patients. If you ever need physical therapy, I highly recommend Aesha to help you get better! read more

If I could, I would give this place nine stars because of Yanna. She has fixed so many of my injuries and is so incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. This is NOT the sort of place where they throw you on an automated massage bed, hook you up to some electronic device and then tell you to do your exercises. Unfortunately those places are becoming more standard. It's harder to find a place that actually does PT in an engaged way, and not just running them through the mill. read more

The center is never overcrowded so you feel the one on one care... if you are fortunate enough to get Leo on church street Vienna Ava ... You will truly be satisfied ... Thank You Leo Shirley read more

Select physical therapy is the worst place to go to. My PT insisted she wanted all the medical records from the hospital to review them and make an assessment as to whether PT is needed or not, even though the doctor had given me a written order. When I argued this point with her, she said I was "disrespectful" to her and she became v dismissive. My bp shot up in front of her. She did not believe me when I said I was feeling sick, so she took my blood pressure and said it was only "slightly high". It was 189. With this half-baked knowledge of medicine, what assessment is she capable of? Keep away from this center. read more

I have worked for some time with Yanna at the Vienna location. She's an excellent therapist. Previously, my treatment has been covered by my insurance, with a copay. In recent months I have had dry needling with Yanna for shoulder pain. The treatment was helpful but the billing procedures of the company are a nightmare. My insurance does not cover dry needling (I checked) so I told the center that I would be private pay upfront. And that's what I did. They told me an amount but did not tell me that they still were required to submit it to my insurance -- knowing it would be rejected. Now, months after my treatment is finished, I keep getting bills from central billing for an additional amount beyond what I paid at the time. Today a very curt representative at the central billing told me the location had nothing to do with billing and they could not help me. He would not give me his manager's name. He simply said I had been given wrong information by the center. He made the problem mine, not theirs. Because of this experience, I will hesitate to work with Select Physical Therapy in the future if I have a need, in spite of the fact that I found Yanna's treatment to be excellent. read more

Not only is the PT I worked with, Aesha, wonderful, but everyone on staff is familiar with and attentive to each other's patients. I'm routinely asked by other PTs how I'm doing, or noting my progress. read more

Vlasta is really great. Kind and thorough and really takes the time to figure out the best plan for you. I originally started in the Reston location, but after almost zero progress, I decided to move to this location. Best decision, because she is so much better! My foot is nearly back to normal after surgery and I would recommend her. The front desk staff is not as friendly as I'd prefer, especially if you have insurance issues. They don't always call you back or seem to be very helpful at times. Be persistent. read more

I have never posted a negative Yelp review. However, after spending more than an hour on the phone with these folks, there's nothing much I can do than to share my experiences with the Better Business Bureau and the community on Yelp. I'm hoping this will shed some light into how these folks do business and also reinforce the comments others have made about their front desk. I was referred by my orthopedist to get some physical therapy and decided to check Physiotherapy Associates because they were close to work + had a lot of availabilities. Boy was that a bad decision. Despite being an in-network provider, I was charged with over $500 for a 30 minute PT session (which included very minor things like printing out a piece of paper with some exercises to do at home). My insurance treats specialist treatments at a $60 copay and instead of charging through that route, they billed the insurance company so that I have to pay through my deductible. Because I haven't met my deductible yet, I was billed $191 out-of-pocket for the 30 minute service. None of this was communicated to me until I received a bill from them to pay the balance. If I had known that they would charge $500 for their 30 minute service and that I would have to pay ~$200 out of pocket, I would've found another solution. After spending an hour on the phone talking to their front desk and their business manager, I was told that the clinic director would give me a call. It's been a week and I still haven't heard back from these guys. One more thing to add - I went to another PT facility and I pay $0 for their services (they charge $200 to my insurance provider instead of $500 from Physiotherapy Associates). And it's amazing because their facility is cleaner, their front desk is nicer, and my treatment is so much better (they do stim therapy, along with manual adjustments, and massages on every visit). At Physiotherapy Associates, it's just one large room with 5-6 exam tables. In fact, while I was getting treated, my PT was treating another client at the same time... It's a mess in there. Look elsewhere. read more

I saw Christina Kennedy to rehab a separated shoulder and it was a terrific experience (except for the shoulder). She was consistently knowledgeable, cheerful and supportive and developed a program to get me up and running close to normal. She answered my questions and gave tons of good advice on how to move forward after the therapy ended. She also did some video sessions when I need to quarantine that allowed me to keep up from home. All in all, if you have to be injured it's a great place to work on getting better. read more

The office receptionist was not informed and very unorganized. It was confusing working with her to set up follow up appointments. When I told her the patient was in school from 7:45 am-3:15 pm she repeatedly gave me appointment availability during these hours. She was prepared to have the patient wait 1-2 weeks to set up any follow up appointments. I was told by the receptionist that they did not have enough therapist to treat the patient. read more

If only there was an option to give a no star rating. By far, the most rude and unprofessional front desk personnel I have ever encountered. They are much more concerned with their own agendas than their patients. It doesn't matter whether physical therapists are good if the face of your practice is repulsive. My physical therapist seemed competent and kind, but I canceled all of my appointments to avoid dealing with the front desk. How ridiculous and what a shame. Customer service makes 100% of the difference in any service industry. If you don't like people you should find a job where you never interact with people. read more

Feels a bit like assembly line PT unfortunately. While my Therapist was very nice, I did not feel the assessment was comprehensive and accurate and so the therapy was not targeted and helpful at all. I felt she was at a loss for what to do next and was trying out many things to see what may work. they are more hands off and do not do manipulation/massage. On top of this, their front office is understaffed and billing is horrible. I have been trying to correct one for which I already paid and they keep billing me for over a month with no success. will not go back, but suspect i will have to go down in person to correct the billing. read more

My wife and I have relied many times on the kind, skilled and highly professional team at Vienna's Physiotherapy Associates. Knee replacement, midfoot fusion, shoulders, etc. Far from an impersonal assembly line. That's unfair. But busy? Sure. Because everyone goes there. read more

Vlasta is really great. I started PT about 6 weeks ago at another place and did not have a good experience. I have an issue with my knee and the Physical Therapist was not good - didn't take the time to figure out the cause and just started me on exercises that were making things worse. When I was feeling pain, she was telling me to push through only further exacerbating the problem. After 2 weeks, I changed to work with Vlasta in Vienna at the recommendation of a friend. Not only has Vlasta really taken the time to get to the source of my issue (which thankfully does not require surgery!), but in the short time I have been going to her, I have already felt a huge difference. She is really pleasant to work with and the whole team at Phsyiotherapy Associates in Vienna are really nice. It's not chaotic in there and I actually enjoy going. I would HIGHLY recommend Vlasta! read more

I was diagnosed with bulging spinal discs a few months ago and was referred to physical therapy. I was a bit wary at first but Nate and Ian worked with me over about 6 weeks and I feel better now than I did even before the injury. Very attentive, very professional and very knowledgeable. I cannot recommend these people enough! read more

Nate is a wonderful PT! I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable, Kind, helpful and caring. Tiffany at the front and Matt in the back are great also! Very kind and always with a great smile! I love this place! I am still a work in progress though and need a few more weeks of PT. Thank you so much everyone! :) read more

I just completed ten weeks of PT. I was referred to PT for osteo arthritis in both knees. My goal in PT was to strengthen my knees and legs in order to postpone or negate having surgery. Tim was my physical therapist and he worked with me the whole time in instructing me in various exercises and techniques that helped me gain strength and feel less pain. Tim is very caring, knowledgeable and most of all encouraged me to consistently work hard in order to make ongoing progress. Tim was extremely helpful, He is always upbeat and made exercise fun! read more

I came to Vienna's Physiotherapy Associates in early January 2014 for treatment of my sesamoiditis which is an inflammation of the sesamoid bones right under the ball of the foot. I got this from playing tennis and I had already been working with a podiatrist for over 2 months with limited results before I tried Physical Therapy. I got a script from my podiatrist for Physical therapy and called Physiotherapy Associates and was able to get an eval by the following work day. Cailin, my physical therapist, determined at that evaluation that I had poor range of motion in my feet and ankles which had probably contributed heavily to my injury in the first place and prescribed a series of stretches/range of motion movements to greatly reduce the chance of another injury occurring. She established the following routine for me for the next 6 weeks. 1) she would work manual physical therapy on my foot for the first 15-20 minutes- increasing motion and breaking up scar tissue- and then I would work individually on my own range of motion exercises while she worked other patients and supervised. 2) Every week or so she would take more measurements of my improving range of motion along with gauging my progress. I did the 6 weeks (12 sessions) that were assigned and had made great progress but unfortunately my podiatrist decided that I should end the physical therapy - don't know why because it was going great - and that I should continue recovery on my own. (during the 6 weeks we had 3 snow days where I was not able to make it in - they were open 2 of those 3 days - but I was able to reschedule with no problem). Cailin quickly sent in the final report and gave me an updated regimen to use on my own from home going forward. I had some follow up questions about my condition after a couple of weeks so I was still able to e-mail her and she replied promptly which worked out well because I was still getting professional advice without a prescription! My healing process is well on its way thanks to her and I am pleased with the results. I would also like to add that the office staff is very helpful and professional. The first day I got there they were able to tell me just how much I would be charged for each visit based on the amount of my deductible paid into my insurance plan to date that year. When asked they provided me with the deductible details for me to keep so I could use the info when dealing with my insurance company later. The facility is not the largest or newest out there but they have everything you need, a great staff and a very positive atmosphere. This helps with recovery as all of the patients pick up on those vibes and it contributes to a great work ethic and an encouraging mood lift for what is generally a difficult time for us clients. I would not hesitate to use Physiotherapy Associates of Vienna VA in the future. read more
