Release Physical Therapy Washington DC

I’ve been a regular physical therapy patient for over 10 years due to ongoing lower back and knee issues. I’ve tried several therapy groups and was satisfied with most, but Release Physical Therapy truly stands out. The team is exceptional, and I’ve worked with several therapists who all brought unique expertise and care to my treatment. Every session has been extremely effective, and I’ve noticed significant improvements after just one visit. Their attention to detail and personalized approach make a real difference! If I could give them a six star I would!

Cari Simon is a PT genius. A month of pain is now resolving due to Cari’s kind care and remarkable skill. And, I’ve had excellent experiences with other Release therapists. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of physical therapy. I am very grateful to Cari and her awesome team!

First time dry needling experience with Deborah. Deborah was very thorough identifying where my pain points were with my knee. I am amazed at the improvement in such in quick period of time after receiving the dry needling treatment. Truly amazing! Would highly recommend for anyone with any injury or muscle issue. Be prepared… definitely somewhat painful and uncomfortable, but totally worth it! Highly recommend Release and deborah!

I've had an excellent experience at Release Physical Therapy. The environment is very welcoming and clean, and the staff is exceptionally professional and friendly. I frequently visit to relax my muscles after workouts, and the treatments like dry needling and cupping have been particularly beneficial for me. My therapist, Deborah, is skilled and attentive, making each session worthwhile. Highly recommend!

I recently had an exceptional massage with Alyxx Johnson at Release Physical Therapy and it was truly a healing and therapeutic experience. As a personal trainer and athlete, I often deal with lower back tension, and Alyxx's expert techniques made a significant difference. The massage not only alleviated the tightness but also improved my overall mobility and reduced my pain. Alyxx was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole session. I highly recommend Release PT and Alyxx to anyone looking for a top-notch massage.

My experience at Release has been amazing! Cari is really communicative and attentive, and working with her has made such a difference already. My body is feeling a lot less tight than it has in a long time and the tension after a recent injury has gotten a lot better. I also appreciate how responsive she is to tailoring her approach to my needs and schedule.

Release stands out as a high quality and modern physical therapy provider, based on my experience over several years. Ethan has helped me resolve long-standing injuries/pain that other experienced D.C. therapy providers could not do for me, and he has done it on a much quicker/shorter timeline. Ethan’s focus and attention to detail, and ability to accommodate my specific needs - gently and reasonably encouraging/pushing me to work hard, and rest when I need to - has helped me get badly-needed results for a particularly challenging injury that almost a year at another widely-respected city physical therapy practice did not previously achieve. In weeks he figured out the root-cause of a years-long injury and has helped resolve it through dry-needling and other newer techniques. His and the team’s friendly and welcoming attitude, and their accommodating my schedule and availability, makes the high quality service even more valuable. I look forward to my sessions, even the hard ones, because I enjoy the team and assistance so much. I cannot recommend them enough. They are the best!

My husband and I have been coming to release for three years and have worked with each physical therapist. As a professional athlete who’s undergone two knee surgeries, quality physical therapy is key. With my sport I’ve seen many therapists at various tournaments and locations but Release Physical Therapy is by far the best. The care and attention to detail is amazing and I feel at home there. They’ve provided great manual work, needling, red light therapy, scraping, and shockwave therapy. Plus everyone there exemplifies professionalism and kindness— I always feel welcomed and cared for.
