I have been receiving physical therapy services for my shoulder issues from VSI Physical Therapy for about 5 weeks. I have found every aspect of its operation to be first-rate. Its administrative staff services, from providing information, scheduling and adjusting appointments, and billing are handled pleasantly and efficiently. The front desk staff has been unfailingly pleasant and accommodating. Both of my PT's, Larry Grine (Clinic Director) and Jason Arnett have been extremely effective in a short period of time. My shoulder pain has been drastically reduced and my shoulder mobility and strength greatly improved. But Larry and Jason's value, to me, is not just in what they have been able to do for me, but also how they have done it. First, they were unfailingly amiable from the start, putting me quickly at ease. They were comprehensive in gathering information from me and in trying to understand what goals I was trying to achieve. They explained everything fully and addressed patiently all my concerns. Finally, throughout all the therapy and exercise sessions, they looked to balance encouraging me to try my hardest while still accommodating my own discomfort levels. I never felt forced to accomplish anything beyond my ability. My adult son referred them to me; I'm thankful he did. It's a professional, first-rate organization.

I have been working with Justin Geister, my physical therapist at VTFC for the past two years and he has done an outstanding job of helping me recover from several physical issues. After going to several other centers, I find VTFC a highly professional organization with highly skilled therapists. I highly recommend it!

Justin Geisler worked with one of my kids for a year. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. We saw dramatic gains. We've had excellent experiences with everyone at the practice, from desk staff to other trainers. I highly recommend VTFC.

Justin is a very skilled physical therapist. He listens to you and observes your mobility and then breaks down the movements necessary to fix the issues. He is well versed in weight training to gain strength. Justin has a positive attitude and his encouragement is very motivating. He will be missed!

VTFC is great! I worked initially with Larry on an issue with my back. He was very knowledgeable and listened to the issues I was having, explained clearly the course of treatment he wanted to do (stem, massage, home exercises). When I progessed, he suggested I see Jason to work on strengthening. Jason was encouraging and funny, and was so happy for me when I graduated from PT! Thanks!!

I have always had a wonderful experience with VTFC. I cannot say enough about Larry. He is very professional and knowledgeable. I recently went to see him for my neck pain and now I am pain-free. By far VTFC is the best physical therapy center in northern Virginia. If you have pain I highly recommend VTFC
