Physical Therapy in Washington, DC for Active Professionals and Athletes
Get more than temporary relief with expert physical therapy designed for runners, crossfitters, tennis players, and active adults. Every session is a full 60 minutes, one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist—no techs, no switching rooms, no distractions.
Why Traditional Physical Therapy Fails Active People
Most physical therapy clinics treat you like a number, rushing through generic protocols that only provide temporary relief. You deserve better than cookie-cutter care that keeps you coming back for the same problems.
Rushed 15-Minute Sessions
Therapists juggling multiple patients simultaneously, giving you minimal attention when you need focused expertise.
Generic Treatment Plans
One-size-fits-all approaches that ignore your sport-specific goals and movement patterns.
Passed Off to Assistants
Getting bounced between different providers and techs instead of consistent, expert-level care.

• Full 60 minutes of one-on-one time with a licensed physical therapist

Real Results for Real Athletes
“I started going to Joe Norton PT about 2 years ago, and I’m so grateful I did! When I started seeing Luke for a calf injury, he kept me running safely and built my confidence in knowing what is OK to run through. He’s been a great resource and helped me find my love of running again.”

“My son had a great experience with Joe Norton PT. Jessie identified his muscular weaknesses and the root cause of the issue and helped him get healthy again and slowly build back into running. He was able to have a full track season thanks to her help!”
“Jessie is so fantastic. She helped me overcome an injury mid-marathon training without taking much time off. Her approach is holistic - she provides mobility and strength exercises as well as dry needling and other therapeutic approaches.”
