We are just as tired and frustrated as you are at all the bad advice that's out there and that you're not as active as you could be! That's the District Performance & Physio difference. We were founded on the belief that the answer to an injury shouldn't be "just rest it." And it should never be "you can't go back to doing that anymore."
Are you an active woman in Washington, DC that is being held back by pelvic floor symptoms? We understand that dealing with pelvic floor symptoms as a woman is frustrating and sometimes even scary. It seems like there aren't any answers out there and who do you even feel comfortable talking to? Too often, women are forced to deal with symptoms in silence because they think it's "normal" or there's nothing to be done about it.
Are you an active man in Washington DC that feels limited by incontinence, pelvic pain, pain with sex, or some other pelvic floor symptom that you're uncomfortable talking to your doctor about? Maybe you've been told by a doctor that there aren't any solutions and you just need to give up some type of exercise you enjoy.
You don't have to live like this! All of these are very common problems and it's easy to think it's "normal" or you just have to live like this. We're here to tell you - it's NOT. We've treated countless people in DC with these exact neck pain problems and they were shocked to see how much improvement could be made.
It doesn't have to keep being like this! That shoulder pain you have been saying is "I'm just getting old" or "normal" is neither of those things. We've helped countless people in Washington DC with this exact problem. Instead of learning to live with your shoulder pain, why don't you start to get your old self back?

Short Version:
District Performance & Physio taught me how to manage my pain without pills, connected me with a trusted new neurosurgeon in the area to get a second opinion, educated me on my options and informed me of the current research, and most importantly, helped me get my life back. If it were not for Jesse and his team, I would have had an unnecessary neck surgery and I would not be living the active, healthy, and happy lifestyle that I am now.
Long Version:
As a last ditch attempt to avoid neck surgery, a good friend of mine (a physical therapist in North Carolina) mentioned I should

I met Jesse as part of an initiation bonus when joining a gym. Then the pandemic hit and my body decided to fall apart. Multiple joints, constant pain, going from insanely active to not being able to walk 1/4 mile or even turn a key in a doorknob. I felt defeated, depressed from constant pain, not sleeping because of pain. My world was so small. I called in Jesse and he became the first part of a team that got me on the road to healing. He was reassuring and positive. He has continued to be a perfect antidote to my medical catastrophistic mentality. All of the therapists at DPP are equally amazing

I have been attending physical therapy for over a year for back issues. Previously, the physical therapy I received (for months) did not give me any measurable results. That is until I saw Nicki. She was very comprehensive and worked beyond just the applied therapy..She communicated with the doctor’s office and developed a plan for me that FINALLY got results. The plan included my activities at work and home to help me help myself. I highly recommend Nicki.

I was pretty much at the place where I thought I'd just have to live with chronic back pain when I started PT at District Performance. But that was simply not an acceptable outcome to my therapist. Now a client for over three years, I pop in from time-to-time for a check-up or a quick fix when something's not feeling right in my workout, but that pain I thought I'd have to live with has been gone for a long time. Adding to that huge benefit, my therapist knows me and my muscular quirks well enough that when something flares, I know he'll understand what I'm going through and solve the issue quickly

Jesse is a great physical therapist who is very knowledgeable and thoughtful in his approach. He makes you feel immediately comfortable and has never had the mindset that stopping movement is the answer to healing pain. So grateful that I found someone whose able to help alleviate pain while allowing me to remain active. I’d recommend highly recommend Jesse and team to anyone I know!

District Performance & Physio is absolutely the best - you will be doing yourself a bunch of favors to go see them! I had stopped running just about 10 years ago after a doctor told me that my knee pain couldn't be helped - and they had me back to running within a few weeks. I worked with them for just about 6 weeks total and I am now working to train for a half marathon.
Jesse & Ariella are both wonderful and really easy to work with too so you can't go wrong. Run, don't walk, and head to see them! :)

My time at District Performance and Physio has been excellent. They do great work with a balance of expertise, professionalism, and friendliness. I came to District Performance & Physio through Petworth Fitness as part of the process to rehab a herniated disc. With oversight, exercises, and encouragement from therapist, I have been able to heal from the injury that limited movement and return to exercising 3x a week. In addition to their great work, they have free and easy parking, which is a nice bonus for a downtown site.

I went in with an unknown issue with my ankle/lower leg. It was acute pain and swelling in my Anterior Tibialis and ankle. Nicki, worked with me, dry needled, massage, and some other PT techniques. A month later, I PR'd my marathon by 20 minutes with no pain, whatsoever! Great service, fast, and applicable to getting me back on the road. You can't tell a runner not to run, and they don't. Rather, they tell you how to get better so that you can run!

Jesse is the hardest working business owner I’ve met. He’s driven to help his clients achieve their goals, reduce and alleviate pain, and increase their strength. I cannot recommend him enough. I’ve previously had years of PT elsewhere and never made lasting progress; Jesse has helped me increase movement, build strength, and increase my confidence. I look forward to continuing to work with him.

From Persistent Running Injuries to First Place in 4 Months
This weekend (9/11/21) I completed my first 70.3 triathlon, which included a 13 mile run as the final leg. This is after dealing off and on with calf injuries for a year and a half, which kept me from training. At the beginning of May this year, I had two virtual sessions with Ariella at District Performance Phsyio, where she diagnosed my issues as related to insufficient calf strength. She gave me a set of simple exercises that I completed daily for several weeks, and began slowly ramping up my running mileage. By 6 weeks I was able
