I went to Dr. Fontaine for treatment of my trigger thumbs. I did not want to have surgery on both hands, so I opted for ART-Active Release Technique and Graston Technique. My thumbs were sticking and popping out of joint, and I can honestly say Dr. Fontaine has been able to break up some of the scar tissue, using both ART and Graston, so that my thumbs no longer pop out of joint, and they get stuck much less. Dr. Fontaine explained the therapy process very clearly and the inner working of my hand. He's very thorough and is about your overall body alignment. You will not be sorry if you seek Dr

An absolutely excellent clinic. Dr. Fontaine clearly communicates the issues surrounding the injury and has the knowledge, compassion and skill for treatment. I have seen remarkable improvements in my condition and now understand the importance of mobility and strength to prevent future problems. Many primary care physicians had told me to wait out the pain from my chronic sports injury, but of course, that did little to solve the problem. I am so glad I finally decided to visit Potomac Physical Medicine. I highly recommend!

Fell and hurt myself; went to a chiropractor and an orthopedic practice and neither practitioner could diagnose the problem...they guessed at arthritis because of my age...over 50. When in Fla, I visited Dr. Matt's office. At that time, I was having trouble getting in and out of my car as well as needing to use handicap bathrooms to get up and down with assistance. Dr. Matt touched my leg and quickly felt scar tissue and started breaking it up. Up until then the pain was chronic yet I could not identify or describe the source of the pain. After a few visits and showing me how to use the foam roller

Excellent relief of lower back and neck pain. I was impressed with the effort Dr. Fontaine put into properly diagnosing my spine issues. Treatment focused on correcting, and then maintaining things. This along with improved core stability, helps keep muscles and spine aligned for the long term. Initial treatment with periodic visits over time is the key to success. I cannot argue with the results, I have started running again, and am pain free with superb range of motion for both my back and neck. If your an athlete or just someone with back/neck pain, I'd strongly recommend Potomac Physical Medicine

Dr. Fontaine and his team provide me with excellent, state of the art care. I first discovered Potomac Physical Medicine when I was in severe pain for the first time in my life. They provided relief within the first session, recommended a program of recovery, including laser and de-compression, along with specific exercises. I consider myself an athlete and was able to resume full activities within a matter of days. I am continuing to learn and expand my program to manage fitness, age and periodic challenges. I highly recommend Dr. Fontaine. Kia and Carolyn, of his team, provide the highest degree

Dr. Fontaine is the best! I've been to many chiropractors who do the standard manipulation which gave me temporary relief at best. Dr Fontaine is a sports chiropractic physician and one of the few trained in the Full Body Active Release Technique (ART) which, in my opinion, takes chiropractic to a new level of results for patients. My visits provide immediate and long-lasting relief. Dr. Fontaine has an extreme sense of patient concern. Patients leave his office with issue related exercises to do at home and his YouTube site for exercises and general health is incredible. He is the only chiropractic

After reviewing many doctors, I decided to go with Dr. Fontaine for my chronic plantar fasciitis because he specialized in Graston technique and Active Release Therapy. Even though I drive 40 minutes each way, I thought his specialties were important for fixing my injury. Every other doctor I have seen, have just recommended shots, but the pain kept coming back after a few months. Dr. Fontaine prescribed a clinical approach to healing the actual injury instead of just masking the pain for a short time. He explained in depth what truly is causing the pain and not just using clinical jargon, which
