Performance Plus Physical Therapy

Dr. Danelle is amazing!! I am a professional dancer and was referred to her by a couple of colleagues who spoke very highly of her and her services. I was diagnosed with a calf strain and was in desperate need of her help to get me through 2 weeks of shows at the Kennedy Center. Dr. Danelle really took care of me, educated me on what was going on with my body, and gave me the exercises/treatment plan to help in my recovery. She is a fantastic physical therapist who really understands the lifestyle, physical demands, and necessary care that dancers require. 10/10 recommend seeing her!

I met Dr. D and hope working on a show at Arena Stage and she was/is ABSOLUTELY amazing! We started working together on early September and continued through mid-October. I was dealing with pretty significant discomfort and pain in the lower area of the back of my neck from a minor injury I’d sustained in January. I was dealing with it for months with little to no relief. But then there was Dr. D! She helped me heal incredibly in the short time we had together and was such a pleasure to work with in the process. My show is over and I’ll miss working with her but am forever grateful for the time we had!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Testimonial for Dr. Dickson, My Exceptional Physiotherapist 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I am delighted to share my experience with Dr. Dickson, who has been an absolute blessing in my journey toward better health and well-being. Her unwavering dedication to her patients’ overall wellness is truly commendable. When I first visited Dr. Dickson, I was grappling with several issues: persistent inflammation in my right ankle, a nagging irritation in my left shoulder that often led to headaches, and mobility challenges related to my right hip. These issues had significantly impacted my ability to engage in the exercises and activities I love. Dr. Dickson’s approach is nothing short of remarkable. She seamlessly blends traditional physiotherapy techniques with fascial counterstrain—a combination that has worked wonders for me. In just five weeks under her care, I’ve witnessed incredible progress. I’m well on my way to feeling like my old self again, thanks to her expertise and personalized treatment. Not only does Dr. Dickson address the specific problem areas, but she also focuses on overall balance and mobility. Her holistic approach has made a tremendous difference in my daily life. I can’t thank her enough for the positive impact she’s had on my well-being. If you’re seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate physiotherapist, look no further than Dr. Dickson. She’s a true professional who genuinely cares about her patients’ health and progress. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of effective rehabilitation and healing. Thank you, Dr. Dickson, for being an integral part of my wellness journey! 🙌🏼🌿

I had a great experience with Dr. Dickson. I am a professional dancer and Pilates instructor and went in for foot and ankle pain. Dr. Dickson took the time to explain what she was doing and listened to what I needed. She was able to use her expertise as a dance performance specialist to help me get through the end of my season.

Dr. Dickson is an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable physical therapy specialist who saves the careers of dancers and theatre artists. As a choreographer, performer, and teacher of theatre and dance, I was laid so low by multiple injuries that I had trouble walking. Dr. Dickson not only had me pain-free after just a few weeks, but worked carefully with me to develop a continuously evolving plan for restoring strength, balance, and mobility. Best of the best!

Dr. Dickson is hands down the best physical therapist in the world! I have been a patient since December 2019 when I unknowingly injured my right knee. I had a major tour coming up and needed to be performance ready in a month. Dr. Dickson not only got me physically ready to tour with our twice a week sessions, but she mentally gave me the confidence and tools to do the work she started. Dr. Danelle has grown to be my voice of reason in my professional and personal endeavors. I will forever sing her praises. Whether you’re a dancer, sports athlete, or a person who enjoys moving, Dr. Dickson will always have your best interest at heart. She truly cares for each and everyone of her patients. I’ve recommended at least 4 people to her and they always have nothing but positive things to say!

You NEED to see Dr. Dickson! I saw multiple PT's for a year prior to scheduling an appointment with her for a sesamoid injury. On our first call, she spoke to me for 45 minutes simply explaining the injury and how the hip, leg and foot work together. I was very impressed! At our first appointment, Dr. Dickson customized a plan for me, educated me on what was going on, what was needed and gave me so much hope! She also has the BEST sense of humor which always makes things fun! When I came to her in Dec 2023, I was in constant pain, unable to workout or wear high heels (which was a goal of mine). As of Feb 2024, I am wearing high heels and I am back to the gym at about 85% to goal- which is HUGE for me! If you are at your wits end trying to find someone to help you heal, I HIGHLY suggest Dr. Dickson. When I arrived, I told her it was as a last resort and she has completely changed my life in just 3 short months! Thank you Dr. Dickson for being exceptional and making my healing journey hopeful and enjoyable!

Dr. Dickson is such a knowledgeable, caring, and amazing Physical Therapist. She has made me feel so heard, as I navigate and treat my pelvic floor pain. She has provided me with the holistic tools to tend to all the muscle discomforts that impact my pelvic floor health. Thanks to her, I have begun having painless and pleasurable intimacy, and am learning to communicate and advocate for myself with partner(s) and providers when pain arises.
