In January of this year, I experienced a flare up like never before - which landed me in the ER, followed by an urgent care visit. I was referred by my doctor to physical therapy and wanted to find a place close to my home, as I was unable to sit up or drive much for several weeks, due to the unrelenting pain... The team at Amber is so wonderful! They are extremely knowledgeable and pleasant! Ms. Tina started me on a program that has helped to manage my pain and get me on the track to healing. I was not sure if I would get any significant relief for my pain and restored mobility through PT - but the program that I have been doing has helped, tremendously! For me, the key has been to follow their directions and continue to do the exercises at home, between PT visits. I am so thankful for the Amber crew! Lovely, professional, and they know what they are doing!

Skilled nursing centers with Rehab need to be closely scrutinized and we selected this location for my mom after her stroke due to the fantastic Gym for intense rehab, the dynamic therapists, and the location near our home so we could visit often. After five weeks there, she came home stronger and confident, but there were some issues here and there that made the experience somewhat traumatic. The new administration arrived when we did, and when we returned four months later with mom's Congestive Heart Failure, it was like a a Tsunami touched on every area of deficit we had seen prior. The Administrators held themselves accountable for the concerns that we had, and in the eight days we were there in August, I can highly recommend this location. Nothing is perfect in the area of need for elderly or those recovering, but the site was very clean, the nurses were top notch and positively invested above and beyond in their patients. The therapists and the gym maintain their five star review throughout both experiences (especially the manager and PT "Jim Morales" , but a special thanks to our nurse "Taylor", who felt like part of our family when our visit over.

No one answers the phone, and if you are able to get through to someone, the nurses do not listen, but just talk incessantly and do not care about your concern.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!!!

I was here for about 3 months for therapy on my knee. I had surgery for a torn ACL and wanted to go…read moresomewhere close to my house. I'm glad I came here because it worked out really well. Having to goto rehab 2-3 times a week going somewhere close was great. I regularly worked with Kara and Danielle. They were both very friendly and professional. Pushing me to the point of being tired, yet careful enough not to cause any injury. I think Sue handled most of my insurance stuff and she did an excellent job. Everything was clear and the overall experience was great.

Unlike the sole other reviewer, my experiences (have been there for two separate issues, shoulder…read morein 2008 and currently pre and post-back surgery) I've never had PT anywhere else so cannot compare. But two + months in '08 (w/ Jessica) solved my shoulder issues, and with work I was instructed to do after leaving, no further issues. Sent in July by my internist for very bad back pain, sessions seemed to help but only for short periods after surgery. After 10-12 sessions, Jessica suggested I stop, which disappointed me until she explained that I had limited visits remaining on my insurance, and she said lack of sufficient improvement from PT and other things from my MD that she felt surgery may be in my future, after which a neurosurgeon would likely suggest PT. Did make sense, so I said OK. Wasn't long after I saw a NS who showed me on my films why it wasn't working and surgery was indicated. I originally felt my satisfaction was as much with Jessica as with SPT, but once she was unavailable and I was set-up with Courtney. My skepticism was quickly shown to be unwarranted, as she was also quite good with a unique trick or two of her own. A few weeks later I ended up with Aaron, again, was skeptical but he is excellent. There is a fourth therapist also I have not used so have no comment. Everyone is quite nice and seems to be extremely knowledgeable. Maybe other places are as good or even better but that's hard for me to imagine.

I had total knee replacement (TKR) surgery at Ortho Virginia, and I looked and found a place close…read moreto home for my Physical Therapy - Integrated Sports in Burke (off Ox Road). It became immediately clear that I had made the right choice. Their exceptional experience, team work in caring for the clients, and clear understanding of post-surgery care and rehab were outstanding. TKR is very painful and they worked me through a process that was most beneficial. I was back to work, traveling, hiking and riding my bike in 3 months! I cannot thank the staff enough, and I will be back when my other knee is due.

Friendly staff but disappointing practice. I was initially set up with 8 sessions. The evaluation…read morebefore beginning therapy was professional and thorough which gave me optimism. Unfortunately, that level of professionalism was not carried through the therapy sessions. Even at the first session, the therapist got me started with each exercise and then left without monitoring my mechanics. The therapists congregated at a center hub which required trying to get someone's attention if you had a question or after finishing the exercise. Then they would come over and instruct what to do next and walk off again. They also oversaw multiple clients at the same time so there was little personal attention. Half of my sessions were done by an unlicensed trainee who was not being supervised. Some of the exercises she gave me ended up making my problem worse but no one checked with me to see how I was doing. I also had to repeatedly ask for a printout of my exercises so I could do them at home. After a while, I would just write my own notes. I wasn't even confident that I was doing them correctly as I was only told once what to do. At the end of the 8 sessions, I walked out of there with no follow up evaluation and no discussion about further sessions. I was left with the feeling of lack of interest in my progress as if I had fallen through the cracks and no one cared how I was doing. Very different from another practice that gives one-on-one attention throughout all the sessions and careful monitoring of mechanics and progress.

I have been here several times now and have worked with all the therapists so I am more then ready…read moreto share my wonderful experience at this location. I had a 2-level cervical spinal fusion with rare complications, so I am very special to say the least, lol. First off, let me start by saying I am already familiar with Inova Physical Therapy because my son had to have PT for a pulled hamstring, and we used the Fairfax/Prosperity location. The PTs were great with him and he especially really liked Josh, but the office manager was consistently so rude to clients & staff that it was enough to make me not want to go back there ever again, even though it is a bigger facility (side-note: she's so awful that she is negatively referenced in their location's reviews several times)! Now for the awesome Annandale location: This is my first experience with the Annandale location and I absolutely love it! The facility is clean, and being located inside the Audrey Moore Rec Center gives them the luxury of access to the gym as well as the swimming pool for aquatic therapy. There is plenty of parking and plenty to do; whether you're by yourself or someone comes with you. The actual PT room itself is very intimate & there are never more than 2 clients overlapping at a time. I have had the pleasure of doing my PT with Vanessa, Katie, and Spencer, all of whom are wonderful. Vanessa did my initial evaluation and could not have been any sweeter; Katie is extremely knowledgeable in the different modalities of therapy & Spencer is highly trained to do dry-needling. All three of them are genuinely so kind, caring, and considerate. They really take their time to get to know you, your situation, and your specific needs. They tailor everything they do, every step of the way and constantly modify to ensure you're reaching your goals at a comfortable, pain-free pace. From beginning to end, they are very thorough and clearly explain everything to you, giving you an understanding of what's going on and how it will affect your body and its healing. I could not be more pleased with my progress so far and am always happy to go see them. I really feel so good when I leave; both mentally & physically. If you need PT or are in anyway apprehensive about PT, look no further, this is most definitely the place to go!

This time I stayed within the Inova system and looked for five stars among the Inova PT centers on Yelp. Inova PT Annandale was the only one with five stars. It is a very small facility but the staff is well equipped, educated, professional, respectful, with a great sense of humor. Spencer and Katie encourage their patients while learning PT. Dominique is always welcoming and helps with scheduling, insurance, and payments. I appreciate receiving a personal home program from the therapists at each visit. After ten visits twice a week, Spencer believes I am doing well enough to just come once a week and continue with the home program.

Previously, I was told by doctors in the area that it was due to frozen shoulder but he realized that this was not the case and recommended that I get an MRI.

If Stephen was not so persistent in the level of care, I would have brushed it off and this tumor could have been a bigger problem. He is a superstar!

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.

While I can't speak to the facility itself, I can encourage those in the Fairfax area to go see…read moreJason Eure! Here's why: - Variety of exercises: I admit that I'm not always the best patient. Part of the reason why I go to PT is the accountability aspect. I know I'm going to have to tell them if I've been keeping up with my exercises. I mean, they can tell anyways. Points for honesty? *nervous laugh* However, I liked that Jason mixed up the exercises often so I wouldn't get bored. I think a lot of patients are given the same exercises and think, "Why do I pay you when I can just do these at home?" and just stop going to PT. While it is important to establish a baseline to see how you are progressing, it's also important (to me) for therapists to continuously challenge me. He also made sure that I was able to do more dynamic exercises vs just controlled exercises before giving me the green light to play soccer again. Due to work conflicts or scheduling, I'd sometimes have to come in two days in a row. Jason was always mindful of this and would work on one area the first day and a different body part the following day. Also re: not being the best patient - he's realistic about your home program and how often you'll actually do the exercises. - One-on-one time and knowledge: Although this might differ from each location, I felt that I was able to have enough face time with Jason to explain what was going on and how I progressed (or didn't progress) since my last visit. I hate being rushed or feeling like I need to bring in a list of my questions just so I remember during my two minute interaction with a doctor. Jason always had the time to answer questions and talk about a strategy for the upcoming weekend, which is when I would have my soccer games. His explanations were clear and easy enough to understand, but never in a condescending way. And believe me, I always had questions. He never seemed annoyed. - Overall personality and interpersonal skills: We actually had a discussion about how doctors don't take classes on interpersonal skills and handling different types of patients. I was going to PT 1-2x/week a few months so I'd rather not see a monotone robot on a weekly basis. He's personable, super easy to work with, and is a pretty funny guy, too. He always had great awareness about when to push me and when to back off. My only complaint is that he did not consult me before switching to a new location. Just kidding (but I'm still sad about it). But ending on a good note: I did overhear this older, Asian lady saying he has "magic hands". And trust me, being Asian, I can say this as a fact - there was no sexual innuendo in the comment. Also, older, Asian ladies have high standards and expectations, and have no problem saying what they think. So, let "magic hands" fix your broken body!
