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. Hes very thorough and is about your overall body alignment. You will not be sorry if you seek Dr. Fontaine for treatment.

Dr Fontaine is the consumate professional. He has helped me through two life altering issues with conservative treatment. In both cases I thought I knew what my problem was. Not only did he redirect me but provided the treatment that ended my pain.

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. Matts 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 I am still pain free.

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!

I looked around the area for quite a while before choosing to go to Potomac Physical Medicine and feel as though I made the right choice. Dr.Fontaine is very skilled and offers a multi-modal approach to treating injuries. He helped treat my injuries when they were at their worst and I continue to go currently for maintenance. I highly recommend going here.

Whether soft tissue or joint, Dr. Matt is the best. His skill, knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. My husband and I have both been seeing him for back, knee, hip and shoulder repetitive strain injuries, which Dr. Matt either completely resolved or significantly improved. His staff is lovely, facility clean, easy parking.

Fantastic office and expert care. Dr. Matt helped me with shoulder and upper back pain. My mobility has increased dramatically. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Appointments are always confirmed and on time. A huge help! Great location.

Very friendly staff and wonderful service. Dr. Fontaine is a well versed sports chiropractor who can help you recover from a sports related injury quicker than regular PT. He has been a tremendous help in my recovery. I would highly recommend the service of Potomac Physical Medicine.

Knowledgable, professional, state of the art ,and attention to detail. Potomac Physical Medicine is top of their class for treating sports injuries, helping patients rehab and teaching preventative maintenance. The staff is always personable and the facility immaculate. My husband and I have been treated for both injuries and techniques to avoid future damage. I cant say enough good things about this office.

Dr. Matt gives the best practice in town. He precisely located the muscle areas related to my elbow tendonitis pain and performed professional physical therapies progressively. That is, you get better everytime you visit. Now, the pain has disappeared after four visits and I expect a fully recovery soon. The staff are super friendly and always ready to help!

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, Id strongly recommend Potomac Physical Medicine.

Great experience! I am being taught what is being done as I am being worked on and I feel great when I leave. Definitely worth the opportunity.

Perfect experience. Dr. Matt can do magic and is very knowledgeable. Nice and clean premises, great and kind front desk staff. I have come here with two types of injuries and always leave painfree.

Dr. Fontaine is very knowledgeable and he provides excellent treatment for sport injuries. He takes time to explain issues around the injury and exercises. The office is very nice and also staffs. I definitely recommend Potomac Physical Medicine to my friends.

Friendly and helpful staff, seamless billing processes while working with your insurance and appointments are fairly easy to come by (those early pre-work appointment times are MUCH appreciated). To top it off, Dr Fontaine is awesome. Been going for a year now after experiencing persistent lower back and hip pain that would just not go away. He incorporates so much more work than any other standard chiropractor Ive seen for the same problems. He does expect a lot out of you in terms of working towards your physical goals on your own time but he supplies the tools you need and its just the right amount of push to stay on top of your well being and keep feeling great.

I’ve just started going but I’m very impressed so far! Dr. Fontaine uses many of the latest treatment options and take time to explain why and how you can work at home to help speed healing.

I recommend Potomac Physical Medicine. Not only does Dr. Fontaine give me great chiropractic care, he follows that up with specific follow-up exercises.

Dr Matt is incredible. His knowledge of the human body and technique is beyond reproach. After my surgery on a broken toe, his rehab had me back running, biking and CrossFitting in half the time. I can now race again PAIN FREE.Thanks Dr. MattChriss SmithTrident CrossFit

I highly recommend Potomac Physical Medicine. The staff there is first rate and Dr. Fontaine will work with you to effectively develop a treatment plan to address your issue while providing prevention guidance, to include helpful videos, along the way.

The care and treatment you receive at Potomac Physical Medicine is unrivaled. Dr. Fontaine is very transparent- he will take the time to actually diagnose you, fix the problem, and then supply you with tools to prevent further injury. I have personally received more care from Dr. Fontaine in a matter of days than I have from the many visits to multiple sports medicine doctors. His use of integrative medicine makes a difference from day one. Everyone on staff is professional and cares.

Always a great experience here not only does Dr Matt put you back together but he gives you the tools to improve upon his treatments at home!

Dr. Fontaine is the best! Ive 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 physician I would recommend and just wish I had found him sooner! Hal Amerau, Alexandria, VA

Excellent staff, nice & friendly environment and Dr. Matt knows his stuff.

Potomac Physical Medicine is a place Ive recommended to friends who need help with movement pain. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable in all types of treatments. I trust Dr. Fontaine with my spine!

The staff is very professional, customer service oriented, and has made me feel welcome from day one. Dr. Fontaines knowledge, experience, and passion for providing the right physical medicine and not just regular everyday run-of- the-mill physical therapy. Not only does he treat the pain and injury that I was referred to him for, but treats and educates me on how to recondition and take better care of the other two injuries I also have that caused the injury I was sent to him for in the first place; not only does he provide amazing in office treatments, but the exercises, and youtube videos and homework have been really beneficial.

I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Fontaine to anyone needing/desiring a chiropractor. Ive been seeing a chiropractor for spinal issues incurred from sports and flying the F-15E in the US Air Force. I recently moved from Colorado Springs, CO and found Potomac Physical Medicine via an insurance company and internet search. The 4 best things I like about Dr. Fontaine is,1) his communication about your health issues2) his coaching you through the exercises he will provide during your treatment,3) his videos he produces to help you with the exercises and techniques, and,4) his unlimited number of techniques to provide treatment to include, adjustments, active recovery, stretching, and massage. His tool belt is full of techniques to get you living healthy.So, give Dr. Fontaine and Potomac Physical Medicine a call; give him a chance. You will be happy you did.Cheers,Chaz

Dr. Fontaine takes a comprehensive approach that includes not just manipulation and state of the art techniques but overall wellbeing as well. He was able to tell me a lot about what was causing my pain (inflammation) and offered advice for who to treat it without meds. You get a lot of personal attention that is rare in most doctors offices these days.His YouTube videos are really helpful as well for ensuring that exercises and stretches are done correctly.The staff are nice and helpful and it is a relaxing, pleasant space.

Dr. Fontaine is very knowledgeable and does a great job helping you understand what’s going on with your injury. The office staff is the best!:)

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 of patient support and care.

Staff is friendly and personable, appointments run on time. Dr. Fontaine explains things thoroughly and supports his approach and exercises with models and videos to ensure patient understanding. The treatment plan is clear and yields results. I saw considerable and consistent progress through my treatment plan and ultimately, in the timeframe that Dr. Fontaine originally quoted, achieved full functional movement pain free.

I’ve been going to Potomac Physical Medicine for a few months and could not be more pleased with Dr. Fontaine and the staff! I wanted to start working out again (after taking a 5-year break!) and didn’t know how to sort out my back and shoulder pain before I hit the gym. With Dr. Fontaine’s at-home exercises and YouTube videos/tutorials on stretching, I was able to work on strengthening my core and back and start CrossFit. Now I feel better than I did in my 20s. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get fit but might not know how to jump back into it!

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 made it easier to understand the issue. I am halfway through my treatment and can finally feel relief. The front office staff has been great as well! Highly recommend!

On time appointments, flawless treatment.

Amazing care--great with all injuries and aches+pains. Highly recommend.

So far my experience here has been nothing but positive!
