Love Excel Rehabilitation! Ive experienced a couple of rehab clinics in the past but none compare to Excel. My therapist, Kathleen Dawson, was very personable and explained everything every step of the way. Unlike other rehab clinics, Kathleen was right there watching and keeping a close eye on me during every appointment. If youre looking for an excellent experience, I have no reservations at all in recommending Kathleen and Excel to anyone scouting rehab clinics.

I have used Excel several times for various problems (knee, lower back/core, twice with shoulder issues), and every time they did an excellent (almost miraculous, in my view) job of getting me back up to speed.This time I had a shoulder issue and Kathleen designed a program to get me back up to speed. She is great to work with, skillful, efficient, friendly, and quite obviously cared about me as a person wanting to get back up to my normal level. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends or family if they needed physical therapy.

Excel Rehab provides a wonderful wellness experience. PTs design the right exercises for your injury and provide easy to follow video to remind you of how to do your daily exercise. Great customer service and clean facilities.

Kathleen was my therapist after my knee replacement. She was very knowledgeable and helped me reach my goals with no problems. I found Kathleen was always interested in my pain levels and was willing to adapt my routine to meet my needs. I highly recommend her as therapist and would ask for her if I ever needed her expertise again.

Absolutely outstanding! Jackalyn Peterson has been my therapist twice now and has helped and coached me through major pain as a result of a fall last October. They are top of the line in all that they do and a great example to be emulated for their profession.

This is my fourth time working with Excel Rehab. I respond really well to their structured approach and love that they can email my exercises to me so I can pull them up at home on my computer.

My visit with my Physical therapist went from awkward to eventually me not wanting to come back again...My critiques of excel are based on the interpersonal interactions I had with my PT.As someone young, who has now experienced two injuries in 2021, I would try to ask questions to better understand treatment.Every single question I asked my PT, she would always seem to respond non-empathetically, almost like she was annoyed. She would answer my questions... but she never once seemed happy to.Finally, we had this conversation below. I didnt like her attitude or energy at all... Her tone and body language seemed agitated even before this conversation started.*This has been condensed for clarity, so its not exactly verbatim.*Me: *Once I finished my hour of PT I asked: Will I ever get to the point where I can do drills like that girl did today?(referring to the patient that came in with a lacrosse stick and did athletic drills for an hour)PT: It depends on the injury.Me: Okay... what about my injury?PT: Well it would not be warranted in your case.Me: Why is is not warranted?PT: My responsibility is to return you to being functional.Me: My goal is to return to my sport and play soccer like I did before.PT: If you want that maybe you should see a personal trainer. They can do the drills you are looking for.Me: I dont understand then why are you doing lacrosse drills with her and not soccer drills with me? Whats the difference?PT: The difference is in injury. Your injury is a chronic issue.Me: Okay but what was her issue? Her knee? That seems chronic.PT: I cannot discuss that due to HIPPA.Me: Alright, I dont care about her injury. But I still dont understand the difference in treatment.PT: I cannot have you doing exercises that are soccer related when you are still experiencing discomfort in daily activities like sitting.Me: So, do you see my discomfort going away in two weeks? We only have two more meetings scheduled.PT: I dont have your calendar pulled up. But it would depend.ME: Thats all good. You can cancel my future visits.

Jacklyn is very attentive, and takes the time to answer my many questions and I have a lot of them! I have been a patient at Excell for different issues and have tried other practices that are closer to my home. Excell is worth the drive.

Always prompt and courteous, they get the job done. This is my second time using them for PT and I hope the results are as great as the first time.

Ms. Dawson worked with my wife to help her overcome a shoulder strain injury. My wife, a medical person herself, is very discerning when it comes to medical treatments. She was wildly pleased and came home every day extolling the praises of Ms. Dawson. When it came time for my own physical therapy for osteoarthritis in the knees, I selected Excel Rehab and and specifically requested Ms. Dawson. Wow! My wife was 100% correct about the excellent facilities and specifically about Ms. Dawson. I have had PT several times through the years but Ms. Dawson is by far the most professional and thorough Physical Therapist Ive used. By the fifth PT session, she was able to get me from painfully walking to very tolerable minor pain by multiple exercises and strengthening drills. Everything she used strengthened my legs, eliminated most of the pain and gave me much more confidence in living my life with the osteoarthritis. If you need a Physical Therapist, why not select the best in the area - - Ms. Kathleen Dawson and Excel Rehab.

Excel has skilled therapists, and I have had positive experiences with several over the years. Duncan corrected a nearly-frozen shoulder that occurred post-operatively when a therapist from another business treated it improperly. Most recently I have worked with Kathleen. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen. I highly recommend the therapists and ExcelRehabilitation.

Great therapy with Kathleen Dawson. Her program has me feeling much better and stronger in only three visits. I highly recommend her and excel rehab. Best regards, Mary Frances Monroe

Great, knowledgeable staff. My improvement has been quick!

My experience at Excel Rehabilitation has been excellent.Kathleen Dawson has been extremely professional with the therapy she has provided me. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs physical therapy.

I had shoulder pain, so bad I could hardly put on a sweater.Kathleen was the perfect person for me to work with. She listened to what I said. If I said the hurts, she listened.I can move painlessly now, thanks to her...Thank you!

I thoroughly researched physical therapy clinics before finally settling on Excel Rehabilitation. The facility has plenty of convenient parking and is clean. The entire staff takes COVID-19 precautions seriously. My therapist, Kathleen Dawson, took a detailed history and evaluated my problem area and the opposite side of my body for strength, mobility, and range of motion. She asked me what my goals were for therapy. Based on her assessment she showed me diagrams of what she felt was my problem and gave me an estimate of how much therapy I would need. She performed several manipulations of my shoulder and arm and then gave me exercises to perform at home. As I did them in front of her she watched me to ensure I was doing them properly. For every exercise and manipulation she asked me to let her know when it became painful for me. Between visits she emails me videos of my assigned exercises with added info for each exercise (number of reps, number of sets, how long to hold a stretch.). Patient/therapist communication is very good and I can email her with any questions I have between visits. During my treatment, I feel that my privacy is protected. I am very comfortable with Kathleen and have experienced dramatic pain relief and improved range of motion after only a few visits. At the end of each session, she applies electrodes around my shoulder area to minimize any discomfort and follows that with warm compresses. I would recommend this facility, and Kathleen Dawson to anyone needing physical therapy.

Wonderfully professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Kathleen is an excellent physical therapist - attentive, competent, and friendly.

Getting great care from Kathleen at Excel Rehabilitation for my shoulder.

My experience at Excel has been very positive. The facility is well equipped and clean. My therapist knows what she is doing and communicates to me what to do and why I should do it. She challenges me to do my best to improve. Also she is friendly and makes the work more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Excel to anyone who needs physical therapy,

Attentive and caring staff, they give you exercises and focus on healing

Excellent therapist (Kathleen), great routine, friendly staff. Excellent experience overall so far (after three sessions).

Jackalyn is wonderful. I always feel so well taken care of, and I always feel just a little bit better (healing-wise) each time I leave. I highly recommend!

I chose Excel Rehabilitation because it is small, not crowded, and strictly following COVID-19 safety guidelines. The facility is clean and well organized. But mostly, my highest rating is because of my therapist, Jackalyn. She is very knowledgeable and highly skilled..and so pleasant to work with.

Great facility and personnel.

Honestly, I didn’t want to share what a gem of a place this is for fear of it getting too busy. Their approach to PT is really world class in that one therapist has only two clients at a time! And their therapists all have a PhD! Having been to another place where honestly now realize I felt like a number. Why? Because I was doing the exercise myself and occasionally the PT Assistant or my Physical Therapist would catch me doing something wrong. Whereas, my Excel therapist Haley is always there to ensure I am doing it correctly. In my first meeting, she really took the time to understand my issues and my concerns, asking questions to really hone in on my unique case. She is very knowledgeable and her personalized plan for me so far makes me really work hard while I am there whereas the other places I feel like I was checking off the box. Honestly, I have made significant progress in only a few short weeks going only two times. Even my family thinks so! If you need a new place to go or are just starting, consider Excel! You won’t be disappointed!

Professional and talented Therapists. Great Staff. Outstanding one on one treatment. Focused rehabilitation that lead to my timely recovery following total knee replacement. Strongly recommended.

Excel Rehab has super qualified therapists (DPT). They are really in tune with both the doctors prescription and the patients needs

Excel Rehab is a wonderful place! The therapists take special care and interest in each patient. My PT took the time to explain my treatment and come up with goals that were appropriate for me. Highly recomend to anyone in need of PT!

I started going here after an injury at work. Workman’s comp gave me their name and number and I was wary at first because you never know the quality of care that workman’s comp will send. I couldn’t be more thrilled!!! Megan, Christine and Jacks are awesome. They create a super welcoming and friendly environment. They’re all extremely knowledgeable and treat all their patients with care. My children have also been welcomed with open arms on the days I have had to bring them to my appointments. I absolutely love it and am so happy to have found a great place to receive care.

My experiences at physical therapy at Excel physical therapy have been and continue to be excellent. The therapists are knowlegible and professional in what what they do, but at the same time they are warm and caring to their patient. They look at all aspects of the person they are working with. Even with all of that there is laughter and a relaxing atmosphere. All of the therapists work so well together. I have needed physical therapy a number of times and always returned there. My doctors always say its an excellent choice.

Physical therapy is about the therapist. I had the luck and pleasure to work with Megan McCabe. She is extremely knowledgeable, present and caring. Unfortunately, Megan has left Excel. If she had stayed locally, I would have followed her.

Excel Rehab is a professional, efficient, effective,on time and friendly place. I went in with several medical complaints, was listened to and taken seriously. The PT personalized my plan of care, noted my progress, demonstrated, educated, evaluated the effect of her interventions, and revised the plan when needed. I have regained so much mobility, flexibility and comfort and left behind stiffness, pain, decreased joint range of motion and am healing well from old and new injuries. This is a great healing place. Laying down with the TENS unit and heating pads on after the exercises for 20 minutes is AWESOME and soothing too--I should do this at home! Jacks is my PT and I highly recommend her.

Recently had Elbow surgery for the 3rd time in 10 years. Excel has always been my rehab choice.This was the easiest rehab of the three and primarily because of the staff care that comes from the team at Excel. The follow up and communication they have with my surgeon played a vital role as well which saved me several follow up appointments with my doc. I am pain free and clear to return to life as usual becuase I have a great surgeon who has partnered up with a great rehab team at Excel.I would not go anywhere else.Thanks guys for great love and great care. Until the next surgery😁

Due to our special circumstance, while other PT offices asked us to wait more than 4 days, we were lucky enough they were able to accommodate us with short notice right after surgery (thanks to Ebony and the ladies that were able to make this happen). Im not guaranteeing this will happen to new patients, but we appreciate the effort that was made this one time. Weve seen Megan and Jacks and they were a joy to be with from the start, and most importantly they are very professional. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and are knowledgeable. All staff members make the appointments enjoyable.

Excel has a nice facility. All of the staff are very friendly and competent.Megan, my PT, has been a great. Not only is she really helping me get of my arm back. Megan explains what she is doing and is a good teacher, providing understandable instructions for my at home exercises. The two times Megan has not been available, I received great treatment from Haley and Jacqueline.

Very personalized care by experienced staff. Listen well to needs of patient. No wait and great follow up.

I could not have gone to a better physical therapy clinic! Excel Rehabilitation is top notch for physical therapy. I called to schedule an appointment and the office staff was friendly and able to schedule me within a reasonable amount of time. I was able to fill out my new patient paperwork online to take with me to my first appointment. I also was asked to bring along my prescription from the ordering physician, insurance card, and identification. Upon my arrival, the office personnel gave me information from my medical insurance company on the amount of visits covered and the co-payment amount. Wow!The initial visit was about an hour with a brief overview of my health and injury. Treatment was started the same day! The physical therapist was professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic to my injury. The therapist took time to assess my medical needs and begin the plan of action for care. Most of the time I worked with one therapist who got to know my injury and me well. Although, when the therapist I had been working with was not available during the time of day I need, my experience with the other physical therapists at the clinic was positive, professional and right in line with the treatment plan. All the physical therapists always helped me to stay focused on building my strength and getting back to the gym/sports.Unlike other physical therapy clinics that I have been to, the staff at Excel Rehabilitation respects my time and does their best to accommodate the times of day I need to schedule my appointments. The office staff prints a list of all the appointments for me and sends me text messages as reminders. Thank you, Excel Rehabilitation for getting me back out on the court!

Great place and people to work with.Hayley has been fabulous helping to get me back to where I was prior to knee surgery. As a very active person, I highly recommend this place. They know their stuff!

I have been going to Excel Rehab since early 2010 when i had my first hip problem. SInce then I have had rehab following 2 hip replacements and most recently a shoulder replacement. The therapists at Excel are professional, extremely knowledgeable, and work as a team while you are there and they are also friendly and make you feel like family! It is a winning combination. Additionally the insurance paperwork was processed quickly, the appointments always ran on time and everything in the office functions like a well oiled machine. Thanks to everyone who has taken care of me over the years - especially Jacks who has been there practically the whole time and is phenomenal! And Duncan - you run a great business!

Excel has been great-I wanted someone to help with aggressive therapy after knee surgery to help with mobility. Hayley is fantastic and pushes me, which is what’s needed. The location also has a full gym which is nice, so you can use the eqiputment as you’re building up strength.

I love Excel Rehab. After having broken my foot I started looking for PT near my office in Fairfax, Virginia. When I called for an appt I was greeted warmly by Ebony and my Physical Therapist, Megan is amazing and my progress has phenomenal. The entire staff here treat people with such grace, kindness, and of course tough love. 🤗

Excellent physical therapy at Excel Rehab. Meghan Mccabe is a great therapist. Knowledgeable and educates her patients as she performs her duties.

Hayley is another awesome addition to Excel Rehabilitations staff. She has a passion for what she does, an attitude that makes you feel comfortable and above all, excellent therapist skills. I highly recommend her sports therapy skills!

This is a professional and caring organization who will review your medical situation and create a program just for you. I have used other PT practices and then found Excel. I have been a patient with Excel for many years now and would not think about going anywhere else. I have and will recommend them to my friends and family who needs a good, competent and qualified therapist.

Jackalyn Peterson is outstanding - - - professional, personable and highly skilled. I always ask for her whenever needing PT.My family has been going to to Excel (daughter, son and myself) for the past number of years, and regardless of the therapist, we have always been had a very successful and timely outcome.

Duncan and team came highly recommended by my Orthopedist and I would highly recommend them as well. I visited the Fairfax location at Fairfax Racquet Club. I have been rehabbing tennis elbow for the last 6-7 weeks and have been treated by everyone on their team. They are all very personable and it is a comfortable and fun environment for treatment.I was mostly treated by Duncan and April. who were/are amazing and were very knowledgeable about my injury. Duncan and April are both certified for dry needling, which I did need. They were able to easily target the correct muscles and used electric stimulation to encourage self healing (or something like that). Jaqueline and Danielle also worked on my arm using therapeutic deep tissue massage which was also very good!!!They keep a record of all of the exercises that you do each week, so anyone can step in an keep you on track. My arm was in extreme pain when I arrived there and over the past 6-7 weeks with dry needling, electric stimulation and targeted exercises, they have succeeded in strengthening my forearm, reliving the pain and got me back on the tennis court.I am very thankful... but actually a little sad that my treatment is at an end, because I really looked forward to seeing them all each week.

Have used Excel twice in the last ten years to rehab injuries. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Offices are well equipped and convenient (for me).

I started feeling better after several sessions. Megan is great and very profesional. Definitively recommend Excel.

Duncan is the best physical therapist I have ever seen. And believe me, Ive seen a few and had disastrous experiences. Duncan was the FIFTH PT I have tried. By the time I discovered Excel, I was a disillusioned young lady. But I know I needed therapy so I picked up the phone and made that call. The voice on the other end was warm, compassionate, and full of humor! Monique is one amazing receptionist, the best Ive ever encountered! She is so sweet and genuine. Shes one of the best people Ive ever met, shes that special.I was beyond apprehensive about my first appointment. But Duncan eased my fears immediately. He listened intently to all my woes about other PTs. And then he proved himself! One-on-one attention: no assistants dealing with me. Challenging exercises but not overwhelming to the point where I may re-injure. I am an amateur athlete who pushes myself, sometimes too far, so he will push me, just enough. Hes also a great conversationalist with a terrific table side manner. I am fascinated by the human body and would love to delve into this field further somehow. Every session Duncan asks me if I want a magazine, but from day one I asked for anatomy books and Duncan gave me Netter! I love studying Dr. Netters drawings of the human body. Duncan is always answering the questions I have about this muscle, tendon, etc. His knowledge is extensive but he is not cocky!I am midway through my therapy now, and I plan to write a follow up review when I fully recover. In the meantime-- if youve been burned by other less than stellar therapy experiences, keep the faith and look no further, Duncan is your guy.!!

Ive been working with Megan for my lower back pain. So far, everyone has been very friendly and helpful. The location in the Fairfax Racquet Club is very convenient.

Excel Rehabilitation is FANTASTIC! Both my husband and I have been patients. The staff are exceptional. My husband made a full recovery and Im well on my way! My therapist, Megan McCabe is the best!

Have been going here since 2009 , off and on , I have always been treated great and gotten great results from their rehabilitation services, matter of fact I am at the clinic currently April 2021 getting knee replacement rehabilitation done . Love this place and the expert ladies that work there . They know their stuff . Try it youll like it 😉

Prompt checkin, flexible appointment scheduling that fits with my school schedule, and friendly, courteous and knowledgeable care. Hayley is awesome!

Extremely pleased with the care and service at Excel Rehab. Megan was attentive, always answered any of my concerns, and was very happy with my outcome.

Hayley H. brings professionalism and a positive attitude. First injury needing PT. Feeling stronger already.

The therapy seems to have improved my back a lot. Excellent staff.

Searched for a place that took medicare and had excellent reviews. There are few out there. I was not disappointed. Over a year of not getting treatment for a bad hip, in pain and not sleeping etc... Megan not only treated me but helped identify deeper issues that sent me back to my doctor for more tests. She was right and in the end with exercise and stretching (almost 4 mos. of treatment) I am now walking with little to no limp or pain and sleeping through the night. I did work with others there and observed them as well and they are all great at what they do. You will get results if you follow the regime and exercise they give you.

Very knowledgable physical therapists. Skilled in supporting the recovery from TKR. Extremely positive attitudes from all staff. Very accommodating.

My sessions started on time. I was put thru a series of exercises that helped improve my problem. The therapist was friendly and helpful.

Great Staff and will take care of you they know what they are doing and will get you back up and running

The rehab has been very helpful - thank you Jackalyn!

Really good physical therapists doing really good work to help people.

Listening ear & watchful exercises make Excel my choice!

Really enjoy the ease of scheduling, professionalism of the staff, and the “family” feel!!

Skilled staff with great client focus.

Thoughtful, responsive, individualized, highly skilled physical therapy
