Excellent; the best. I highly recommend Falls Church Physical Therapy and Movement Health. Dr. Jennifer Halvaksz is a superb diagnostician and therapist. I recommended Jennifer to five other people with different physical issues, all of whom said the same thing. I suffered from severe arthritis in my hip that interfered with my bike riding and even walking and sleeping. The orthopedist recommended hip replacement, which I wanted to postpone. Through sessions with Dr. Halvaksz and following the exercises that she prescribed, I was able to put off hip replacement surgery for three years. Moreover

I can honestly say that Dr. Jennifer Halvaksz is one of the most skilled, caring, and passionate physical therapists that I have had the opportunity to work with. She is a wonderful resource for patients of all kinds, and has the understanding and advanced clinical experience to address any ache or pain. Can't recommend her enough!!

UNBELIEVABLE! Through the thorough assessment and INCREDIBLE KNOWLEDGE Jennifer quickly resolved my son's knee injury from hockey which prevented him from weight bearing. She patiently taught and evaluated the correct exercises, worked on him and achieved PHENOMENAL results in RECORD time so he could attend his school ski trip and checked in while he was away. No stars can describe how amazing Jennifer is and personable too!

I was experiencing significant shoulder pain and as a result my left arm was slowly becoming less and less useful. Fortunately I was able to go see Jen, and the results have been amazing. She quickly diagnosed me and after the first treatment I felt significantly better. After a few visits my shoulder is now greatly improved have regained utility in my arm. The exercises she prescribes are simple, straightforward and effective. She's one of the most pleasant health care providers I've had the pleasure to work with.

I cannot express how much value I hold in Jennifer’s ability to help me understand 1. What is the pain? Is it bone, soft tissue, nerve pain etc. 2. What is causing this? Sprain in my back is actually a contributing factor to nerve pain in my thigh. 3. How do I manage and relieve the pain, then prevent future issues? She does such an excellent job of walking your through positions or activities to avoid as well as those to encourage to relieve the pain or discomfort and ultimately correct the issues to get me back to 100%. She is so good at empathizing with your situation... it is scary your body

Jennifer Halvakscz is excellent. For the better part of a year, I had a series of recurring hamstring injuries. Resting, stretching, and strength training on my own weren't fixing the problem. In a relatively short time, Jennifer evaluated my movement patterns, diagnosed the problem, prescribed exercise progressions, and made it possible for me to return to the physical activities I love. I should have gone sooner!

Jen is a competent physical therapist and a natural fit to work with me because she has a positive and strong supportive attitude. She is very mindful of the body and her training and experience shines through her confidence. Right away she had me doing several exercises to get me going and I trusted I was in the best hands with her.

I have had the good fortune to be able to have Dr. Jennifer Halvaksz treat me on separate occasions for two orthopedic issues. The first was a shoulder with painfully limited range of motion. The second was knee pain, which I mistakenly thought was a consequence of beach volleyball. In each case Dr. Halvaksz performed an insightful evaluation and recommended seemingly simple yet effective exercises. Both times, the results were the elimination of pain and return to functionality.

I have been experiencing mild knee pain with squats and running. I couldn't figure out: was it my hip, my back, my knee, my foot? Would it get better? Is there anything I can do? Dr. Halvaksz taught me what was contributing to my pain and gave me specific exercises that I could do to help address the issue.
Don't waste time guessing what could be wrong or trying a bunch of exercises that may or may not work. My visit with Falls Church PT saved me a lot of time and guess work! I feel empowered to get stronger and know that I can definitely improve my running! Thank you!
