I have always been fairly active but twice in the past few years it seemed like little things were getting squeaky, and I began to walk, not run, and avoided certain exercises. I chalked it up to age and my time to slow down. Fortunately, a friend said all you need is a “little tune up” go and see someone at Body Dynamics. Having done PT, I started down the path of who my insurance covered and my friend said, "STOP--go see Ashley." Well, I really missed running with my friends and decided a few appointments would be worth it if I got my “knee” back and running with my friends, which was priceless as they say. A few years later my lower back starting complaining after runs, and again, I began to slow down, avoiding running and even long hikes. Once again, I let it slide and it continued to get worse, and my PT friend did a personal evaluation and said, "Go see Ashley again. This is a tune up but you have really let it get worse by not doing anything." In 5 sessions Ashley had me ready to walk 22 miles without pain. PT is amazing! My two arthroscopic surgeries for torn meniscus had very different results. The first one required a minimum of rehabilitation. The second one continued to swell months after surgery, and I was unable to fully bend my knee. A friend recommended that I see Ashley at Body Dynamics, and I am grateful for the comprehensive care that she provided. Curious about my repeated meniscus trouble, Ashley investigated my feet, ankles, and hips as possible culprits. As it turned out, one hip was hypermobile and the other was – whatever the opposite of that is Arming me with exercises for my hips as well as my knees, Ashley ensured that I made a full recovery. I was able to join my friends on the South Coast Path in Cornwall, England for a strenuous 7-day hike. As it turns out, I had another meniscal tear on the last day of our trip - the result of walking three miles on flat sand. I returned to BDI, where Jorge fixed me up in no time. BDI’s philosophy of educating patients pays off. I have had a couple of flare-ups since our trip, but I have been able to manage them on my own. Incorporating PT exercises into my yoga routine has been fun, and that has helped me practice each day at home. The result? I can hike with my friends, thanks to BDI. I learned the importance of hip health a hard and painful way. A debilitating ankle injury a few years ago led to even more painful challenges with my hips when I could finally resume walking. Eventually my mobility deteriorated to the point that even short walks and driving were unbearable. I was desperate for help when friends recommended Ashley and Body Dynamics. With her great care, I was not only able to recover, I’m now stronger than I have been in years. For me, one of the nicest options of care there is the ability to transition to appropriate group or individual exercise classes after PT. The fun and challenging group classes with Ashley, Grace, Jorge and Chip have been crucial to maintaining my recovery. I’m so grateful to this team for helping me find renewed energy with no pain, which allowed me to achieve my dream to hike Cornwall’s magnificent and challenging South Coast Trail with my friends the year I turned 60. Another bonus--my bone density has increased! Thank you Body Dynamics! After driving back and forth from Falls Church to Blacksburg for a year, I developed some lower back pain from sitting in the car for 4 hours. After searching and reading the great reviews, I visited Body Dynamics and was assessed by a Physical Therapist (Lisa) who was quickly able to determine where the issue was and what had to be done. After some sessions with Lisa, I proceeded to sign up for Personal Training with Sarah who was able to help me focus in on activation of muscles and develop the awareness to overcome the pain. In conjunction with the Personal Training, I started Myfascial Release Massage Therapy with Tracie who was able to loosen different areas that were tight and facilitate strengthening. As if being able to see three different practitioners under one roof wasn't enough, I was able to see Chip for Nutrition counseling. I would use the word "Holistic" to describe the approach where everyone is communicating and collaborating from different angles towards the same goal of healing and Body Dynamics is Holistic. Outstanding care and individualized programs for wellness. While patient care is a priority, every effort is made to make the patient or client responsible for progress. Unlike any other physical therapy. Unique. I could not survive without them. Suzanne, Ashley (PT) Chip and Andrea and this is everyone with whom I have studied at BD.-Each one are exceptionally gifted and unique in their craft and I owe my new health and outlook to them. The holistic philosophy that underlies this practice is what makes it so vital. Always working to help us move well and without pain in our our everyday activities... And clearly someone has skill for hiring and maintaining amazing staff! Thank goodness for Body Dynamics! My back was killing me but thanks to a few PT sessions with Liz and the exercises she recommended I do at home, I feel like a new woman! BDI is really a one stop wellness organization and all of the staff I have met and the classes and workshops I have taken have been exceptional. Body Dynamics is the kind of integrated health services that we all hope we will find whenever we need Physical Therapy or we're looking for a range of health and fitness services. Rarely do I find the kind of personalized care and the teamwork between practitioners. My PT confers with my deep tissue massage practitioner and my fitness trainer to help maximize benefits and minimize any chance of injury. The atmosphere is always positive. The commitment to excellence is visible in every aspect of the very well equipped facility. I cannot recommend it enough!!!HOW WE HELP
