We offer the following services: 

Manual therapy

Manual therapy is likely what you imagine physical therapy to be if you've ever considered it. Your physical therapist in South Riding, VA, will use their hands to knead and work through your body's muscles, joints, and soft tissue with no other instruments to aid. Techniques include massage therapy, joint mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, strain-counterstrain therapy, etc. Some techniques work better for some conditions.

You may feel a little sore, but that's only because you were tender there already. Soft tissue manipulation is so successful in reducing pain and inflammation that you'll be on your way to recovery in no time! It's even suitable for those with chronic problems such as low back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, herniated discs, torn meniscus, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, poor posture, limited range of motion in joints, soft tissue pain/cramps, and acute sports injuries.

Orthopedic Therapy

Conditions that qualify for Orthopedic physical therapy include fractures; neck/back pain; joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder); shoulder problems; elbow sprains and strains; knee pain; foot and ankle issues; lymphedema; cancer; hip or knee replacement; Parkinson's disease; instability of the knee.

Experts use strengthening exercises, joint mobilization, electrical stimulation, cryotherapy, thermotherapy, laser therapy, intramuscular stimulation, myofascial release, phonophoresis, etc. to improve flexibility and circulation while reducing tightness and swelling, discomfort, etc. However, you must understand that a professional evaluation of your condition determines the ideal course of action—which may be one modality or a combination of a few.

Post-surgical/post-operative physical therapy

Every surgery implies recovery, and it's no surprise that so many doctors advocate for therapy post-surgery—people should get back to normal quicker and easier. Thus, post-surgical therapeutic strategies focus on movement and stability—getting active and passive range of motion back, using specialized exercises, etc. In addition, the more one moves, the less swelling and pain occur, while movement abilities improve. We also promote tissue movement to prevent excess scar tissue and improve mobility.

Motor vehicle accident recovery therapy
Physical therapy is the answer to post-motor vehicle accident rehabilitation. The most significant advantage of physical therapy for post-motor vehicle accident injuries is pain reduction. A qualified therapist will assess your condition and use various techniques—from targeted exercise to manual therapy and modalities—to reduce the types of pain associated with a motor vehicle accident. For example, pain-reduction treatment techniques include massage, joint mobilization, and therapeutic ultrasound.

These trained professionals know how to formulate custom workouts to reacquire functionality, strength, and movement. Therapeutic exercise targets specific muscle and joint functions to promote enhanced range of motion and better health. Physical therapy is critical to avoid injuries from a car accident turning into lasting, indelible symptoms after an accident. 

Balance Therapy

Balance therapy is a form of vestibular rehabilitation, a specific form of physical therapy that aims to treat conditions that prevent you from achieving and maintaining balance. Depending on your assessment, your therapist will provide exercises, repositioning, and suggestions for lifestyle changes to reduce or eliminate symptoms. This form of therapy is common for elderly populations and those whose diagnoses make them more susceptible to falling, getting dizzy, experiencing blurred vision, or feeling faint—all symptoms of balance disorders.

Balance therapy incorporates gait training and balance programs, fall prevention and balance retraining, functional training, and more, including manual therapy.

Client Testimonials

"I first met Art Bronsord in 1992. I had been referred to PT for a low back injury. Art established a treatment plan which proved successful. Over the years, computer work and long commutes took their toll on my back, neck and shoulders. Unfortunately, in late 2007, I re-injured my neck and back. I found out that Art was going to open a new place. When ‘State of the Art PT’ opened, I was there. Based on my experience over the years with at least 5 years of other facilities in the Sterling/Ashburn area, I can honestly say that ‘State of the Art PT’ is appropriately named. Art has reassembled a team of professionals that I watched help dozens and dozens of patients – from young kids to seniors – achieve incredible results over the years. The therapists and the administrative staff are dedicated to the patient’s welfare and successful treatment. The equipment and facilities are outstanding. And for those who, like me, appreciate such things, the billing process is both timely and accurate. I highly recommend State of the Art Physical Therapy to anyone in need of top quality care" - Mr. B.
