ClareMotion Physical Therapy

Dr. Danielle Clare is the best! As a rower, I struggled with various injuries and had little success despite trying many different PTs, chiropractors, and more. That was until I started working with Dr. Clare. Dr. Clare combines her uniquely expansive knowledge of anatomy, strengthening exercises, and proper technique with her skillful dry needling, cupping, and manual therapy to tailor an individual plan that will have you effectively recovered in no time. Working with Dr. Clare not only helped me return to rowing injury-free but also allowed me to get recruited to a top Division 1 college where I can now perform at the highest level. If you are struggling with any injury or general pain, see Danielle!

I started seeing Danielle in 2021. All of the staff at ClareMotion are really awesome and the techniques they use go way beyond what I’ve experienced at past physical therapy clinics. They have treated me for several issues including injuries related to exercise but also mobility issues from a chronic health issue. I am just so lucky to have found them when I did - I go every week and ClareMotion is a crucial part of my life at this point.

Danielle Clare is the best! I saw her for 2 years and she helped me so much with my back. I had a pretty herniated L5 S1 disc and my vertebrae were collapsing, but because I was so young, I needed to prevent surgery for as long as possible. Danielle helped me with that and helped me get stronger in the process. I am so grateful for her!

I didn't know Physical Therapy could make such a difference! Dr. Clare fixed pain I'd been living with for years, and made me feel 10 years younger. 10/10 recommend!

Danielle is the best physical therapist I've ever had. I have a complex medical history and multiple overlapping conditions, particularly in my upper body. I have seen Danielle for over a year; when i began seeing her, my functioning in my dominant arm was very low. Through a careful exercise program, manual therapy, expert dry needling, and shockwave treatments, I have gradually increased my strength and my level of functioning. Danielle is incredibly skilled with dry needling which results in higher effectiveness of treatment and fewer side effects as compared to previous providers I’ve worked with. Danielle is also incredibly kind, funny, and empathetic – she’s an excellent listener and always willing to adapt if needed based on patient experience, and is responsive to any questions in the patient portal. Overall, I’m incredibly thankful for Danielle and recommend her 1,000x.

After badly spraining and fracturing my ankle, Danielle was instrumental in helping my mobility and strength come back after being in a boot for a month. Always was an easy hour as she was gentle and clearly knowledgeable in helping heal me. The appointments were not only wonderful in strength and mobility training, but Danielle was also extremely sweet and easy to spend the hour with. I was often nervous about dry needling, but she was calm and I felt very comfortable having her do It to me. I am grateful for the help and I would highly recommend her physical therapy services.

We cannot recommend Dr. Clare and her team highly enough. We sought their help for our high school son, who was experiencing back pain after his first season rowing crew. After a frustrating summer seeking help from other resources and receiving no relief, we turned to Dr. Clare. Her expertise, holistic approach, and personalized integrated plan fully addressed his pain and provided him with a long-term plan for moving forward and successfully returning to the sport he loves. Not only did Dr. Clare apply methods of deep tissue massage, dry needling, and cupping, but she taught our son about his body, essential muscle and core activation, helped him form a training plan for strength training, analyzed his rowing technique, connected him with successful rowers in the DMV for further help, and recommended a stretching and core strengthening routine that he continues to do on a regular basis. Because of Dr. Clare and her team, not only was our son able to return to rowing but he was able to excel – next year he will row with a D1 collegiate team. Thank you ClareMotion Physical Therapy!

The team here have helped me so much over the past twelve months with two running- and workout-related injuries. Their practitioners are attentive and great listeners. They spend the whole session with you one-on-one. They explain what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and what to expect in a way a lay person can easily understand. The dry needling they did was extremely helpful, and my PT gave me exercises to work on at home between appointments. The exercises came with videos on an online portal so I could be sure I was doing them correctly. I wholeheartedly recommend ClareMotion PT to everyone!
