Physical Therapy in Capitol Hill, Washington DC

About this clinic

Our Capitol Hill clinic is the original DCPT location. Every visit is one-on-one with a doctorate-level physical therapist — no doubled-up appointments, no aides running you through exercises while your PT sees someone else. Most visits are 45–60 minutes of dedicated time, focused on getting you moving better and out of pain.

We treat patients from across the Hill, Eastern Market, Lincoln Park, Hill East, Navy Yard, the H Street corridor, and Southeast DC, but you don't need to live nearby to come — we have patients who commute in from across the region for our approach.

What to expect at your first visit

1. Check-in and paperwork — most can be completed online beforehand
2. Evaluation — a 45–60 minute conversation, movement screen, and hands-on exam
3. Plan of care — your PT will explain what's going on, how long recovery typically takes, and what we'll do at each step
4. Treatment starts on day one — you'll leave with hands-on work done and exercises to start at home
