"I cannot say enough nice things about this place. Thanks to Caitlin and Julie, I am pain free after injuring my back this past February. They were both so knowledgeable and nice. I worked hard, but in a way that made me want to continue with my exercises so that I won't injure my back again. I have referred several friends to this clinic and am very pleased with the treatment I received. Please keep up the good work."

"My therapist, Katy Lyon, was the most considerate, kind and knowledgeable Physical Therapist I have ever had. I’ve had several over my many active sports years. Katy encouraged and supported me during all my PT Sessions. Katy worked with me the entire session instead of leaving me on a piece of equipment for 20 min and going off with another client, like I had always experienced everywhere else in the past. Katy’s methods were extremely effective and taught me exercises and stretches to heal the problem areas. Managing pain completely was an extra benefit! I’ve referred two friends already to Katy who are looking for an empathetic, kind and very effective Physical Therapist. "

"I was seen at the Lorton location from December 12 ,2022 to January 10, 2023 for the treatment of vertigo. Luke was my Vestibular Therapist and he is absolutely Amazing, he is compassionate, considerate and so knowledgeable. Luke helped me to recognize the signs of vertigo, when it was coming on as well as what to do when it does. He provided me with printed exercise material as well as physically performing them in the event of an episode. Luke, Thank you so much for all your help you are incredible! Thank you to the great customer Service of the the staff from the moment you enter to when you leave. A shout out to Jennifer, who is the off site person I spoke to initially when I signed up, again excellent customer service."

"I went to PT for a broken leg in early 2022. Marinel was my therapist, I arrived using a cane and barely walking and left walking normally and pain free. Later in the year I experienced back pain and was able to work with Marinel again. After six weeks I was pain free and able to move normally again. Marinel was extremely knowledgeable and competent. I had never had PT before and was very impressed with her understanding of anatomy and how that affects the body. She was compassionate and genuine and let me understand I could get better when my confidence was low. I am thrilled with the progress made at Back in Motion and would highly recommend it to my friends and family."

"I had PT at Back in Motion after my total knee replacement in August of this year. My primary therapist was Kim Guinee. The entire organization is extremely professional; from the facility, to scheduling, staff, personal attention, exercises, focused therapy and coordination with my doctor. I had nine weeks of care with Kim and she is excellent. Each visit involved an evaluation of my condition, review of my goals, adjustment of that day's therapy, and ultimate focus on attaining full recovery in the shortest and safest way possible. I also worked with Drew and Luke for two sessions and they were equally as good as Kim. I highly recommend Back in Motion for physical therapy. I had a previous total knee replacement in January of this year and that experience with them was just as good as this one. I spent a total of 18 weeks this year with Back in Motion and Kim was my therapist for both of my operations. I could not have had a better person to help me...she is the best."

"Back in Motion Physical Therapy, with their incredible Physical Therapists and welcoming staff, has literally saved my life. Unfortunately, I have had multiple surgeries and joint replacements since 2006 and they have helped me move on to an active lifestyle with their knowledge and expertise. Kim Guinee is my angel on earth…she takes time to truly listen to me and works tirelessly to help me heal. (I look forward to visiting her because I feel so good when I leave!) She is up to date on the latest practices and is always kind and caring for so many of us that feel discouraged when having to go through physical therapy and the recovery process. Each time I visit, I am welcomed with a smile by their lovely receptionists and even other therapists who have been there for many years will take the the time to chat (sweet Jaimie!) Please visit them for all your physical therapy needs - you will not be disappointed!! ?"

"The Back in Motion Team are top notch professionals. They provided excellent therapy and were very informative during treatment sessions. I was treated by Emily for most of my sessions and she is awesome. Each session and related home exercises provided noticeable improvement. Highly recommended. "

"I have done PT @ Back in Motion several times, each time for a different condition, and each time it has been such a positive experience for me! It has helped me a lot with pain relief and strengthening for a painful knee. Also the bone strengthening exercises have had alot to do with preventing my osteopenia from becoming osteoporosis. And the pelvic floor program changed my life a lot, put me much more in control, helped me avoid surgery for a problem I had. The therapists are SO professional and skilled at treatment, and I am SO happy to be live close by enough to be able to go to Back in Motion. Mary and Marinella are awesome! "

"When I went to Back in Motion in May 2022 I was in a very bad way and wasn't sure I'd be able to get around and do simple household chores again, much less drive. 4 1/2 months later I'm doing substantially better and have been discharged from Physical Therapy. Luke Cancilla DPT, was a Godsend and helped me make progress session after session. My only regret is that they told me I'm too well for there services now and discharged me. I'm driving again, climbing stairs, doing household chores, I feel more confident and am looking forward to my next stages in recovering. While Luke it the best at Back in Motion, his colleagues, I observed during my sessions, are all top notch and any would be a good choice if you need help recovering. Thanks Luke Cancilla and thanks to the Back in Motion team!!!!"

"Back in Motion Therapy definitely deserves 5 star rating. I will definitely recommend Back in Motion to anyone I know who needs therapy. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I was very pleased with Erica, my therapist. She was outstanding. Her experience and knowledge was above and beyond. She really knew her stuff and really took time to explain the problem I had with my knee and my back and the plan she had for my treatment. The treatment was great and I started to see good results right away. The home exercises she gave me really reinforced my progress. I liked working with the same therapist which helped to develop my trust in Erica with my care. In addition, at the end of my therapy treatment period, she sent me home with homework. Yes, exercises that would be good to continue to do. Thank you Erica. "

"I was referred to Back in Motion by my doctor at Anderson Clinic who determined that 6 pt sessions would help resolve my left knee mobility problem. My therapists were Luke & Esther who worked great together as a team to get me “back in motion”. Each session involved measurement of my knee’s range of mobility and a set of exercises to improve my strength & mobility, and a set of exercise sheets to take with me to do daily in between sessions. Every week my mobility improved and they made adjustments and suggested some exercise changes based on my progress. By the end, my left knee range of motion was hugely improved and the swelling was down. They gave me a set of exercises to do long-term to keep my knee stable and this proved valuable when I had a little setback last weekend while riding the waves in OC. I didn’t panic and I did their recommended exercises, and my knee improved immediately. I am very grateful to their help and hugely impressed with the quality and knowledge of the therapists at Back in Motion. Can’t recommend them more highly!"

"Melinda and Marinel are awesome physical therapists. I mostly met with Melinda, but both worked to rid me of my back and neck pain. They also gave me exercises that I can use at home to continue my rehab. I would recommend both for physical therapy. 5 stars ??????????"

"Luke was my primary therapist and Drew filled in during my 7 months of therapy for a broken shoulder. Luke was gentle, had strong expertise, as well as caring, sensitive to my pain and both were very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Amazing guys! Even my doctor was amazed. The only place I'll ever go for therapy."

"Luke C. is terrific. He is professional and caring and worked steadily with me to alleviate my pain and got me moving again."

"Cannot thank Back In Motion Physical Therapy enough! Thought for sure I was facing surgery, but Luke and Drew got me back to functioning without pain, tingling or numbness in my arm! Your attention to detail and professionalism was top notch! Thank you so very much!"

"I can't speak highly enough about the team at Back in Motion. I was treated for 'tennis elbow.' The therapist that I was initially assigned was scheduled to move when I started therapy. Therefore, I had the opportunity to work with multiple therapists for treatment, Laura, Drew, Luke and Mary. They were all outstanding!! The entire staff (receptionists and therapists) are all very friendly and professional. They all do an excellent job of explaining the causes of my condition and how the various exercises and treatment were intended to help resolve the issue. While I hope to never need PT again, I would not hesitate to recommend or return to Back In Motion for care in the future. "

"I was sent to Mary Nalls by an equilibrium specialist in Baltimore, whose computer showed her as trained in the sort of equilibrium work he recommended. Mary has many strings to her bow, and she used many on me! She always seemed to be searching for new ways to help me, both with equilibrium and with nerve conduction problems leading to sciatica. I felt very fortunate to have found such a widely trained and interested professional, who helped me greatly."

"I vestibular issues and was helped by Luke. His expertise in vestibular training is what helped me improve. I have a little more work to do. I know with Luke’s care and focus i will be good as new. "

"All I can say is that Kim and Lynn from Back in Motion/PT Your Way were God sent! After experiencing debilitating leg pain associated with disc issues and undergoing several unsuccessful rounds of PT with other groups in Northern Va, I was just about to reluctantly submit to back injections when I came across BIM. I immediately liked the concept of working with you the entire time rather than giving a few exercises and leaving you to fin for yourself. Kim meticulously took the time needed to expertly decipher my case and worked diligently to get me pain free and now back to my normal activities. Lynn used some additional techniques (strain-counterstrain) that complemented my healing and I am forever grateful to them both! If and when I ever need any type of therapy, I will certainly look to BIM for support. From the moment you step into the office you feel welcomed and cared for; not like another number. This in itself helps to set the right tone for healing. This PT group has it right; highly recommended!!"

"I came to Back inMotion 3 months following an auto accident in which I fractured my pelvis,and broke 7 ribs and my collarbone.I came based on the recommendation of my in-house physical therapist and I owe her a debt of gratitude.I was assigned to Kim Gunni and could not be happier with her high degree of expertise and pleasing personality.Today is my final day and she has brought me back to where I was prior to my accident.Actually,in some ways she has made me into an even more fit person.I have learned so much and fully intend to continue with the exercises she taught me."
Apr 01, 2022
"I recently completed 5 weeks, 3x a week with Luke C. I feel so much better and stronger. Luke explained the exercises and why we were doing them. He gave me copies of the exercises so I can do them on my own. Thank you Luke. You are a very good therapist and I highly recommend Back in Motion."

"I cannot say how impressed I am with the results of my knee replacement PT at Back in Motion (Lorton). The knowledge and professionalism shown by Kim Guinee was exceptional. I felt from the moment I walked in before my surgery to scope out Back in Motion and talked to Jenn Secrest, that they were very organized and focused on the customer. All of the front office staff, including Nicole Graff, are extremely friendly and caring. I would recommend Back in Motion to anyone, young or old (like me)."

"I have been to six physical therapy organizations in the metro washington area and this one is by far the best. Therapists at other locations work with multiple patients at the same time not giving full attention to your needs or just put you on a machine and forget about you. The result, sub-standard. The Back-In-Motion therapists are highly educated, help you understand why you are doing a particular exercise and most importantly listen to your feedback so the recover is customized to meet your body’s needs. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Kim and Luke are the best…"

"I had bilateral partial knee done in 2014 and 2016. I saw Kim Mcguinea for PT following that and now have chronic back pain and spasms . Kim is my PT person. I have moved since my knee surgery but drive half hour each way to the Lorton office. I prefer this facility and Kim because I get one on one for an hour from Kim. She is very attentive and responsive to my pain. She gently and gradually guides me to get maximum benefit. Over these past several years Kim has earned my trust and loyalty. Walking into the Lorton facility you are greeted by the receptionist. Soon after, your therapist escorts . The facility is clean and welcoming. As a physician myself, I value these facts. Thank you Kim and the staff at Lorton office for all that you do"

"Back in Motion is outstanding! From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was in excellent hands. Ann Marie was wonderful to work with. Her guidance and excellent training were key in helping me overcome my physical challenges. The home exercises she gave me helped reinforce the progress I made during our sessions. She is such a caring and compassionate therapist with a lovely warm manner. Everyone I met at Back in Motion was helpful and very friendly. "

"My wife and I are members of the boomer generation, with age our joints have worn more than a bit and Kingstown Back in Motion physical therapy (PT) clinic is our “go to” physical therapy clinic. Over the past few years Ann Marie Stimko provided our post-surgical PT for spinal fusions and two laminectomies, a hip replacement, and most recently a broken ankle -guys my age shouldn’t run down stairs! We’re blessed to have Ann Marie as our physical therapist, she is a very kind, professional, knowledgeable, and skilled therapist. Her caring personality motivated this not-so-young baby boomer couple to go the extra mile on our part to more diligently follow our PT care plan which in turn resulted in a faster post-surgical recovery. I retired from the Marine Corps and over the past 40 years or so we’ve received PT from military and civilian physical therapists throughout the USA. The Kingstown Back in Motion team stands head and shoulders above the dozens of PT teams that treated us throughout my Marine Corps career and for the past 20 years as a civilian here in northern Virginia. "

"I came to Back in Motion for help with hip and low back pain. Ann Marie listened carefully to all my concerns and started me on simple strengthening exercises and stretches. I started feeling better almost immediately and graduated to more challenging exercises as I got stronger. She also helped me adjust my approach to the way I handle everyday chores and tasks around the house and in my yard to reduce strain on my back and hip. She's amazing, and I feel like I got my life back. Everyone at Back in Motion was just great, and I can't say enough wonderful things about them."

"I love Ann Marie she takes personal care and a 1 st class therapist I have been getting my neck therapy done for almost five years at this center. Everybody is very dedicated and works hard with patience with love and care. Thank Marie I am feeling 90percent well and continue with my exercises. God bless you. ?????"
Nov 03, 2021
"Amazing place. I worked with both Ann Marie and Erica on heel and knee issues from a lifetime of running. Ann Marie did wonders for my knee and Erica relieved a lot of the pressure on my heel. Better yet, I've got some good home stretches that I am working on to make things keep moving forward. Smart and caring and, unlike other places, they gave me 100% of their attention for the entire visit. Recommend BIM highly. "

"I'm back in action! For years I have dealt with constant lower back pain. I have tried massages, chiropractic care, online gimmicks, pain creams, but all that was temporary. It wasn't until I met Matthew G. at Back In Motion that finally gave me the relief I needed! He took the time to explain, walked me through the different exercises, and stressed the importance of technique, because doing it wrong can make or break your recovery. Matt provided a personal plan that worked for me and I couldn't be happier with the strength I gained during these sessions. It's been over a month and I'm still motivated to continue my exercises, b/c nothing is better than not having to deal with pain on a daily basis. Matt is a rock star, he is professional, kind, compassionate and patient. If you are looking for legit recovery, I recommend Matt G at Back in Motion! Thank you Back in Motion!"

"My experience at Back in Motion (Lorton) was exceptional. The practice is very professional, well organized and scrupulously clean. The therapists enjoy working together and their good spirit made the physical work pleasurable. My therapist Twila was highly trained, kind, funny and inspirational. She created realistic routines that allowed me to make big improvements in a short time. I give Twila my highest recommendation and I think you should make Back in Motion your first choice for reaching your goals! "

"A few years ago i suffered from hip pain. My doctor told me i could have hip surgery or try physical therapy. I went to Back in Motion physical therapy for a handful of treatment sessions and i was given a bunch of exercises i could do by myself at home. I am happy to report that as long as i do my home program somewhat regularly i have managed my hip pain. Thanks to all the therapists that helped me. If i ever need PT again I will choose to go to Back in Motion"

"This is my second time at Back in Motion. This time my primary care suggested the VestibularVertigo Balance program. I worked with Ann Marie Stimko. The one hour of attention twice a week provided me with balance exercises I had not used before. It included some initial tests to establish a basis for progress measurement. Ann Marie had printed hand outs that helped me establish a daily routine at home. It so happened that during my scheduled appointments I had my second coronavirus vaccine. I had some soreness at the vaccine sight and mentioned that to Ann Marie and she provided some additional exercises to keep my arm functional. Her listening skills are an important part of her instructional repertoire. We did extend the initial plans for several weeks more and faced out gradually as I gained better balance and felt less pain. She kept my primary care informed on our progress. The office staff was supportive and had social distancing and hand washing practices in place. There are phone reminders of appointment times. I am very satisfied with the treatment I received and am currently continuing to work at home on my own. This is a first class operation with skilled therapists and good logistical support as well. Many thanks."

"I initially made a series of appts for pelvic floor PT. After chatting with the doctor (Brauna) about my goals to start running again, she also gave me several exercises to develop my hip, ab, and leg strength. I am so happy that I selected this practice and would highly recommend it and my doctor (Brauna) to other folks in need of a physical therapist. "
May 20, 2021
"Marinel is absolutely amazing! She was so thorough and knowledgeable. There was never any judgement or negativity. She brought me back to my usual strength and consistently reduced all back and nerve pain. The staff there are so friendly and considerate. I highly recommend them!"
May 12, 2021
"I was seen at Back in Motion and PT your way. Both experiences were phenomenal. I felt very at ease with Brauna and she provided me with a lot of knowledge and insight that my previous doctors fail to. The staff was helpful walking me through everything and they were very knowledgeable about insurance which saved me money. Highly recommend this practice! "

"I was a patient at Back in Motion PT for four months due to breaking my arm in multiple places. I had zero flexibility/range of motion upon starting PT and I was still in a good deal of pain. My therapist was Jamie, who I cannot say enough good things about. She cares so much about her patients and her passion for her work is evident. She’s innovative and adjusts therapy and exercises consistently to bolster progress. Jamie is kind, easy to talk to, and incredibly intelligent and experienced in her craft. The staff at Back in Motion made me feel like family. They’re always greeting patients, asking how they’re doing, and going out of their way to make sure patients have everything they need (insurance info, appointments scheduled, print outs, etc.). Although I hope I’m never Injured enough to see them again, I cannot recommend this place enough!!! They will be sure to get you back to 100% and feeling yourself again!"

"I've been working with Back in Motion over the last 6 months to rehab a chronic calf injury, and have been extremely happy with the progress I've made. I've mainly been working with Matt, but also Brauna, Lisa and Melinda, and they have all been incredibly. Not only have I been able to strengthen the injured area, but they helped me understand why I had recurring injuries and how to prevent them in the future. They all bring specific knowledge and experience to the table, and would not want to go anywhere else for treatment. Dry needling was also very helpful, as well as pelvic/spinal work to ensure proper alignment. They are great, and would highly recommend! "
Apr 01, 2021
"Over the top satisfaction with the results achieved at Back In Motion, Alexandria office. The ENTIRE staff was very easy to work with. It was exceptionally effective in rehabilitation to be able to have one (1) primary Therapist start to finish. My team listened, diagnosed, and created a program that brought me back from only 15% mobility 5 months ago, to over 85% mobility and climbing today. Special thanks to Caitlin for a demanding regimen that did what some said couldn't be done without surgery. I can neither thank them enough, nor say enough good things about Back In Motion, Alexandria. Parker Earp"

"I am very pleased with the PT I received from AnnMarie. She worked with my problem and was very perceptive about the underlying causes. I am feeling 100% better! She is always cheerful and supportive."
Mar 27, 2021
"What a great experience with Back in Motion! Kim cleared up my back and sciatica issues with mild exercises and traction and worked on my core with increasingly harder exercises to stabilize it to stop future issues. Everyone working there is so professional, capable and pleasant, from the front desk staff to the therapists. It’s a popular place for obvious reasons, so you may not get your favorite appointment time, but the care and attention you receive make it worth the wait!"
Mar 26, 2021
"This place is excellent! I started with total body motion (or as I call it, "witchcraft!") on my shoulder which helped me go from very limited movement to feeling much better in one visit. Over the next several weeks I was amazed at how quickly Twila was able to get me back to almost 100% mobility and strength. She used active movement and passive massage which helped both, and dry needling which did help with a bit of neck pain I also had. Any questions or concerns I had, she took the time to talk with me about and make sure I was comfortable. The rest of the staff was incredibly pleasant, kind, and very welcoming. I can't recommend them enough!"
Mar 18, 2021
"I was very pleased with the kindness and informative information I received at your facility. The exercises have helped my neck issues. I was amazed at the exercises that were provided to me have done amazing things for my issue. I would recommend any of my friends to your Physical Therapy facility. Your staff was very professional. Thank you for taking good care of my neck issues. "

"Very happy with Back In Motion at Lorton. My journey began last Spring, pre total knee replacement. Tonight I “graduated” with my new knee and 122 degrees flexion! Thank you to a wonderful team - Kim, Patty, Julia, and Dan - who kept me motivated all the way! I highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of physical therapy - great practitioners who are knowledgeable, caring, patient, and a pleasure to work with. "

"Brauna was so great in building my confidence postpartum with my diastasis recti. She was patient and really showed me efficient exercises and built upon each session to further heal my body. I hope I do not need to come back for more physical therapy, but if I do, I will go back to Brauna!"

"excellent place for physical therapy. All staff attentive to individual needs. Kim individualized my shoulder treatment plan with a mixture of stretching..ultrasound and exercises.

"I am writing this review after completing three months of physical therapy to address the back problems of a 70 year old man with stenosis, spondylosis, and arthritis which forced me to restrict movement and activities; I could not walk more than 3 blocks without serious pain. Prior to beginning this therapy I underwent 2 months of peripheral nerve stimulation therapy which did a great job of reducing pain to an acceptable level but required additional therapy for core strengthening to support longer term recovery. With Michelle as my primary therapist and assisted by Marcus I received excellent attention to my specific problems such that I am now able to walk a mile plus with minimal pain and without needing to sit down all the time. Before completing the therapy I was provided a set of exercises to complete on a daily basis ( minimum 4 times per week) to maintain the progress I made. To-date, three months later, I am feeling no more pain than I did when I completed the therapy (2/10 on the pain scale). The advice and guidance I received from Michelle and Marcus have served me well. I have the tools to manage my back pain provided I opt to complete the exercises daily and keep moving. Without question, I recommend Back-in-Motion for anyone requiring state-of-the-art physical therapy. It's a great place with great staff and I will go back there again for any other PT needs."
May 20, 2020
"Fabulous service! I recently had total knee replacement surgery and Ann Marie was with me every step of the way! I visited the office several times and when the Coronavirus got to dangerous for me to get out, she came to my home for therapy! I recommend 100%."
Apr 30, 2020
"I would HIGHLY recommend Back in Motion to anyone looking for physical therapy.The expertise and professionalism of this office was top notch. I was a patient here getting PT before and after a 2 level disc replacement (C4-C6). Katie and Melinda helped me manage the pain before surgery and then Marcus helped me in my recovery. Due to COVID, Marcus and I even moved to Tele-Health therapy which was both effective and constructive. I'd highly recommend it! "

"I have had to go to numerous physical therapy clinics over the past 10 years. From a range of experiences with other clinics, I have found Back In Motion to be a rare experience. I enjoy the one-to-one environment that offers privacy and allows you to have a full period of interaction with a therapist, rather than being treated in one big communal room. That spirit of personal care is also exhibited by my therapist. I feel that the care is personalized and unrushed. I don't feel that I am being passed from one person to another to simply increase the clinic's efficiency. I will return to Back in Motion for any future PT needs, and highly recommend BIM to any potential client. "
Apr 17, 2020
"Back In Motion has been a life changing experience. My overall health is improved and I’m far less prone to injury. I’ve gained full range of motion without pain in my shoulders and my posture is greatly improved. "
Apr 01, 2020
" I received excellent detailed instructions on exercise to regain motion in my left knee after total knee replacement surgery. Ann Marie S. was very specific in directions and guidance in the most beneficial exercises to regain movement. She provided at home exercises and made certain that I knew how to do them properly. She measured and tracked my progress. I surpassed the targeted goals and I am very pleased with my progress. I have and will recommend Back In Motion to my friends. "
Apr 01, 2020
"We had the BEST physical therapists, Dan and Julie. They worked closely with my daughter and helped her achieve small goals throughout physical therapy, leading her to her ultimate goal of complete healing/lack of pain. I recommend Back in Motion highly and based on the number of people scheduling appointments there, I am not alone! We will be coming back here for ALL our physical therapy needs! Thank you SO much Dan and Julie; you helped restore my daughter’s physical well-being as well as her confidence!"
Mar 23, 2020
"I first became familiar with Back in Motion Physical Therapy after my wife’s knee replacement surgery about 2 years ago. We were very impressed with their care and professionalism, which was the determining factor when I selected them to provide my treatment when I was prescribed PT for myself. I highly recommend them. They are not only very professional and knowledgeable, but also caring and empathetic. "

"Referred for Physical Therapy for bursitis in both hips, I returned to Back in Motion because of previous positive outcomes working with the therapists. From September - December 2019, I initially worked with Ryan and Brauna and Marcus. The majority of my therapy was with Lisa Pan. Lisa is an excellent, patient, caring and effective therapist and designed exercises to specifically address my issues. Additionally, all of the exercises were easily adaptable and transferable for me to do at home. Lisa and all of the Back in Motion staff are outstanding, knowledgeable, professionals. "

"The therapists at Back in Motion Lorton are excellent. I have been treated by Pattie, Jamie and Dan are they are all so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and kind. They have helped me a great deal with weakness in my hip, leg, and ankle. They use every modality from massage and heat, to warmup and stretching, strength training, balance training, and counseling. "Homework" with handouts and online video is provided. The front office staff are so nice and helpful, and they handle all the insurance stuff. The facility is clean and neat. I highly recommend Back in Motion."

"I have been a patient here since 2016 after multiple joint replacements. The practice is truly filled with amazing professionals who are committed to helping their patients not only heal, but to thrive. Kim Guinee has worked with me to heal, teaching me to move more effectively, as well as correcting a number of bad patterns I developed from a lifetime of living with deformed knees. I am grateful for having such a depth of experience and kindness in my on-going healing process."

"I was discouraged because I wasn't recovering well from a total knee replacement. I was 7 months post-op, and I got the help I needed at Back In Motion. I'm so very glad I went there. I was measured and evaluated, and shown the exercises I needed to do. The therapist stayed right with me, right next to me as I did my exercises. There was also a lot of "reality talk"frank discussion about what would help and what wouldn't help, and how I should go forward. I appreciated the advice. Today I left physical therapy as agreed with my therapist. I feel that I have a clear way forward and understand what to do and what to maintain in order to continue my healing. I'm grateful for all the help I got at Back In Motion."

"At first, I was a disbeliever. I had had spinal fusion and a young neighbor suggested I see Caryn. I asked this budding soccer player what Caryn did and he mentioned something about “she feels around your head, then applies gentle pressure to what I think are related areas.” For the heck of it, I made an appointment. Wow. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I’d use the word “miracle” but it makes her sound like a white witch. In any event, I am grateful for her extensive training, her impressive medical knowledge, her gracious manner and the warmth and understanding she has shown me. My only fear is when I am well enough to graduate, at which point I will doubtlessly have serious “Caryn withdrawals.” Let’s hope that day is far off."

"My experience with Kim and Back in Motion Physical Therapy has been a positive one and it exceeded my expectations. The front desk was courteous, welcoming and easy to communicate with. Kim was caring, understanding and very helpful providing exercises and therapy that met my possible shoulder replacement needs. She also reinforced the exercises by demonstrations and follow up to ascertain if the exercises were done correctly. Kim also, at a previous time, provided therapy and exercises to combat my bursitis of the hip. After the sessions, I could walk up the stairs with out pain and I could also walk without pain. I appreciate the one on one care I received and I feel that my rehabilitation needs were met. Thank you. "

"I highly recommend Ann Marie Simko, came in with a Rotator cuff injury and severe pain but Ann Marie's hard work has made a great deal of difference in how I feel. I was so impressed that she spent the full hour with me, I was fully expecting to be with a Tech. I've already recommended Back in Motion to a neighbor and she feels the same way. The front office staff was very Accommodating as well. Thank you, Hanan"

"I recently received PT services from Dec through Jan (8 weeks) to rehab my foot following an extensive surgery. Caitlin, my Therapist throughout this time, provided much needed support and encouragement along with developing exercises that strengthened my foot considerably. I am now looking forward to the spring and many pain free long walks! Caitlin was consistently professional and detailed in her assessment, and then follow through. Thank you Back in Motion. I will definitely recommend this organization to others when needed."

"I came to "Back In Motion" after experiencing a failed partial knee replacement and physical therapy by another facility. I had very special instructions from the physician after necessary knee reconstruction and, this time, full knee replacement. My therapist was Marcus Rein who was able to help and guide me to recovery. Since I was instructed that at no time was I to bear full weight on the operated knee/leg, Marcus was able to substitute other exercises which had the exact same effect as if I had put my weight on my leg. Marcus was able to accommodate me with my special need and was so positive during my treatment that I overcame the fear and disappointment of my previous failed surgery. My wife, prior to making my appointment, spoke with the manager because of the unusual circumstances and we were assured that we would receive the best care necessary for our situation. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Marcus, the Manger and all staff for an outstanding performance and professionalism leading to recovery. Dennis M. Ridgely"

"I rarely review. However, kim Guinee, Patty Mitchell and Liz (intern) brought their A-GAME which placed them in a different zone from mere mortals. In-depth analysis and evaluation resulted in a unique and tailored plan just for me. I came in hobbled with pain in my back, shoulder and pain just taking a few steps. Did I mention Parkinson's disease? The trio were tenacious in blending tried and true scientific physical therapy history coupled with education, expertise and their zeal to under promise while dynamically over delivering. Do not suffer a minute more. The atmosphere is warm and the entire team is welcoming and ready to help you. "

"My wife and I needed a specialized therapy, Dry Needle, and were referred to Back in Motion by another physical therapy organization. Our interface with everyone there was great and our therapist, Melinda, was superb."

"I came to Back-in-Motion after having a series of spinal steroid injections for degenerative disc, stenosis, and mild anterolisthesis and upon my back doctor's recommendation that I would benefit from additional physical therapy. I selected Back-in-Motion for my PT based on posted reviews as well as the description of the individual attention they afford their clients. Michelle was assigned as my therapist for the almost 8 weeks of therapy I recently completed. Michelle was studious in her review of my multiple back issues and developed a set of core exercises that helped rebuild core strength and increase range-in-motion and manage pain through select exercises. Although I will never be completely healed and without pain given my spine's structural issues, I was very pleased with the results of my PT sessions with Michelle. I am able to better understand my limitations but have some tools to help me move around more comfortably with a lot less pain, or sometimes no pain at all. The staff at Back-in-Motion were always friendly and helpful. I will return to Back-in-Motion for any future PT needs and highly recommend them to all in need of a solid PT experience. "

"We have used Back in Motion twice in Alexandria for the Big program. Ann Marie was outstanding combining humor with great physical therapy. My son also received PT after breaking his ankle several years ago. Again, the therapist was excellent dealing with his special needs. I would recommend Back in Motion in Alexandria for any physical therapy needs."

"Aileen at Back in Motion Kingstowne is my go to Physical Therapist. She is results-oriented, focused, hands-on and compassionate. The office staff is also very nice and efficient. Overall an A-plus rating. "

"The entire staff of Back In Motion was absolutely wonderful. I had several physical therapist to address issues with my shoulder. They were all caring, kind and compassionate. My primary therapist was Anne Marie who inspires you to perform exercises, keeps impeccable notes on each visit and is especially attentive to her patients needs. The owner of Back In Motion must be esstatic with the performance of her staff as they treat her business as if it was their own. I highly recommend Back In Motion for your physical therapy needs.

"My therapy sessions with Brauna have been amazing. She is very thorough in diagnosing the problem and so helpful in recommending exercises to strengthen the weakness. The recommended exercises for my ankle have provided much relief and I am confident that if I continue with the recommended exercises I will be pain free. The Alexandria location is great and parking is so easy. The office staff is very cheerful and are accommodating to scheduling appointments.."

"Brauna is excellent for pelvic floor PT. She is very knowledgeable about the female anatomy and patiently explains what is going on in your body and what she is trying to achieve with her exercises and movements. She is a true professional that greets you with a cheerful attitude and smile at each visit."
Feb 27, 2019
"Back in Motion has a personal, dedicated approach where you work with your therapist for the entire hour, unlike the current PT trend where you spend 10 minutes with the certified therapist and then he/she hands you off to an assistant with unknown qualifications who is supposed to monitor exercises the therapist has assigned. The therapists I’ve worked with at Back in Motion are very caring and supremely competent. Brauna is very intuitive and perceptive and genuinely cares about your well-being. The support staff at the desk are friendly and helpful, making it a welcoming place. BIM has been making a difference in my life."
Jan 29, 2019
"I very much appreciate the hard work, professionalism, and caring attitude of the people at BIM. My therapists (Anne Marie and Nichole) were great. They knew what they were doing, they designed a personalized exercise and treatment plan that worked for me. I would strongly recommend BIM to anyone who needs PT and who wants to feel good fast! "

"I used Back in Motion in Alexandria twice — for a range of motion check after surgery and then, more extensively, for rehab following total knee replacement. Elicia and AnnMarie were great and the transition back and forth between the two was seamless. Best of all, my surgeon was very impressed with my progress, all due to Elicia and AnnMarie’s efforts. (OK mine, too.). Thank you both! I have another order for another problem and intend to seek therapy from Back in Motion again."

"After trying several PTs in northern VA over the years, I discovered Back in Motion in Lorton. I am now a dedicated patient. Under their direction for two partial knee and one shoulder replacements I have been overly impressed with the dedication and knowledge in getting me back in shape in the shortest time possible. Kim is especially knowledgeable in setting realistic goals and keeping me on track to meet them. I get a full hour of one-on-one attention each time I arrive. Everyone is friendly and encouraging on each visit. They are terrific and I highly recommend Back in Motion."

"I received therapy after a fractured hip repair. I received many sessions from both Melinda and Nicole. They took a personal interest in my well being and were thoroughly professional. I received wonderful personalized care from both which I greatly appreciate. I would certainly recommend "Back in Motion" to friend or family. "

"I love the people who work at Back In Motion! The physical therapists here are not only extremely professional and knowledgeable, but extraordinarily patient as you learn the exercises and movements that will help your body heal. I began going to this facility on January 9, 2018 after falling and fracturing my hip during an out-of-state trip to Washington State in November 2017. I couldn’t fly home to Virginia until I recovered enough to do so. Once home, a neighbor highly recommended Back In Motion to us. One by one, their rehab program transitioned me from a wheelchair to a walker, and then to a cane, until now I am confidently able to walk on my own once again. I highly recommend my therapist, Courtney Souter, who made this difficult time for me not so difficult and even enjoyable. "
Apr 08, 2018
"Can not say enough about the great care I received from Katy and Melinda. They diagnosed my issue and quickly provided treatment that eliminated the pain. They gave me ongoing exercises to keep the issue from reoccurring. Just great care all around. "

"Having celebrated my 70th birthday last week, I want to take the time to thank those who played a role in getting me here in good health. And Back in Motion, Caryn in particular, was an important element in that. I’m in the best shape I’ve been in a decade. In celebration, I chose this birthday to check off one of my bucket list items. Like the original President Bush, I celebrated by jumping out of an airplane for the first time. After 20 years of Navy flying without ever having to take that last resort, it was time to give it a try. It was an exhilarating thrill. And I would not have achieved it (or enjoyed it as much) without the excellent care provided by Caryn and the Back in Motion team. My sincere thanks to you all. "

I loved going to therapy session with them because I knew I was going to come out better both physically and personally. Back in Motion should be at the top of your list for therapy organizations for any of your patients. Just thought you should know.

I have benefited from physical therapy three times in the last 25 years for different problems, and Back in Motion Physical Therapy is the best of the best! The staff is professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Mary treated me for vertigo, and my only regret is that I did not find her and Back in Motion sooner!
