I have been a patient of Virginia Therapy and Fitness Center (VTFC) for over five years. In my opinion they are the premier therapy provider in the area. The fact that your visit is a one on one with the therapist with your full time is not the norm in this area. I chose VTFC because of my history with them. I had a full knee replacement in March 2024 and Steven Chung has been my therapist. Steven worked on my knee for six weeks and I can say that from my first visit to the last my improvement has been tremendous. When I started, I was using a walker now I walk without any assistance. I will know more when I see the doctor in a couple of weeks. I am sure he will be pleased with my progress

I changed clinics to follow Melanie Gonzaga, a phenomenal physical therapist who has been invaluable in helping me return to professional competition after career threatening injuries. Thanks to her and John Fainsan, I’m on the road to full recovery and look forward to competing later this year. The staff at VSI has been fantastic. Professional, friendly, and helpful every step of the way. Highly recommended!

While traveling my left arm started tingling and I lost some strength and the use of some of the fingers in that hand. I immediately made an appt with my old chiropractor in Dubai hoping for some relief but didn’t get any improvement after 2 sessions. I also tried 5 massages hoping to loosen up the tension in my left neck/shoulder area but also didnt get any improvement from my symptoms. Upon getting back I fortunately saw Larry Grine who was able to get me some much needed relief. Symptoms are sooo much better, almost gone. Very happy and grateful to Larry and VSI.

Having ruptured a disc, I sought out Larry for PT and advice on my situation. After an assessment in which Larry clearly listened to my symptoms and medical history, he set up a treatment regiment that brought immediate and consistent relief. He then consulted with his colleagues on a exercise program that strengthen my core and back quickly and without a large investment of time. The result is that after a month, I no longer needed scheduled care and the exercises have kept the pain away for 9 months.

The Virginia Therapy & Fitness Center (and John Fainsan, in particular) were fabulous! I was being treated for a frozen shoulder. Making appointments was easy (and the reception staff were friendly and competent). John himself was amazing--he was excellent at explaining what he was doing and why it was important. There was no judgment of weeks when I wasn't as conscientious about my exercises as I should have been, and he was always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend John and the Virginia Therapy & Fitness Center!

John Fainsan at VSI PT is an exceptional physical therapist in every way. I used him for PT on my knees. He is extremely knowledgeable, highly skilled in multiple different PT techniques, and brings a long-term comprehensive strategy to healing. He is encouraging, helpful and spends the entire hour with you working on your healing. VSI is a great, first class facility.

VSI has always been my go-to place for physical therapy. Last year, I went to VSI following surgery to repair my dislocated shoulder and, subsequently, for tennis elbow. I went for months and the care I received was top-notch. Everything from administrative needs to the actual care received was excellent. This year, I underwent physical therapy at VSI with Steven for a quad/knee injury I sustained while climbing and I received the same quality of professionalism and care. Steven not only helped me achieve functionality in my quad/knee again, but also took great care to ensure that I was able to get back to the sports I enjoy most. I can't recommend VSI enough!
