Our Services

Physical Therapy & Wellness Services grouped the way clinicians think about them.

Fourteen services across four clinical categories. Every session is one-on-one with a fellowship-trained DPT. Browse by category or, if you're not sure where to start, request a free 30-minute movement screen.

01 · Hands-on Care

Manual Therapy & Soft Tissue Treatment

Five hands-on modalities that share a single clinical aim: restore soft-tissue mobility so movement and strength work can actually take hold. Each is performed by a DPT trained in that specific technique, not delegated to a tech.

02 · Build Capacity

Movement, Performance & Rehabilitation

Five services that rebuild functional capacity once tissue mobility is restored. The gap most patients fall into, between the last PT session and being ready to load again, closes here.

03 · Specialist Programs

Specialized Physical Therapy Programs

Three clinical programs for populations and conditions that require dedicated training, not bolt-on services. Our specialists hold the matching credentials (OCS, SCS, CLT, Schroth) and coordinate with your surgeon or specialist when appropriate.

04 · Wellness & Group

Wellness Programs & Group Classes

These are not core clinical services. They're focused programs we offer when patients want to extend the work they're already doing in PT, or want a clinical context for breathwork and cold exposure they've read about elsewhere.

Conditions We Treat

Conditions We Treat

Acute injuries, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and the things that haven't responded to anything else. If you're not sure your case fits, a movement screen sorts it out.

Decision Help

Not Sure Which Service Is Right for You?

Most patients arrive somewhere on a spectrum. They know they have a problem, they have a vague sense of what might help, and they don't want to commit financially before they're sure. The free 30-minute movement screen exists exactly for that.

A doctoral-level therapist walks through your history, watches you move, and gives you a clear recommendation: which service fits, how many sessions you'll likely need, what insurance might cover. No obligation. No upsell. Just a clinician's read on what you actually need.

Common Questions

Quick answers before you choose.

How do I know which service or treatment is right for my condition?

Most cases don't fit neatly into one service. A herniated disc might need manual therapy first, then dry needling for residual trigger points, then strength training to keep the gains. The decision is clinical. We make it during your first visit, or during a free 30-minute movement screen if you'd prefer not to commit to a full assessment yet.

Can I combine multiple services in one visit?

Yes, and most patients do. A typical 60-minute session might include manual therapy, dry needling for a specific trigger point, and movement work to integrate the gains. You're paying for time with a clinician, not for individual modalities billed separately. The therapist chooses what's appropriate that visit.

Do I need a referral to book a service at Physica Medica?

No. Maryland is a direct-access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a doctor's referral. If your insurance plan requires one for reimbursement, we'll tell you upfront. Bring any imaging or surgical notes you have so we have the full picture from day one.

Ready to Get Started?

Two ways in. Pick the one that fits where you are.

If you know what you need, book directly. If you're still sorting it out, start with a 30-minute movement screen, on us, and we'll point you in the right direction.
