The Alpha Project Process
Step 1

Visit the contact us page and answer a few questions so our team can reach out to you as soon as possible.
During the call, our physical therapy team will ask you questions to determine how we can best help you and your unique situation.
Step 2
Schedule a 75-Minute Initial Assessment
Schedule your physical therapy assessment at our Gaithersburg, Frederick, or Columbia locations. You will receive a customized plan to fix your problem during this evaluation.
After your initial appointment, you will have a clear understanding of what is going on, what caused it, and how to fix the problem.
Step 3
Develop & Execute a Plan to Regain Control of your Active Life
Most people usually work with us for 6 to 10 visits over 2-3 months.
Upon completing your plan of care, you will have the knowledge and tools to care for yourself and prevent these problems from occurring in the future.
Start physical therapy with just three easy steps.
Maryland Physical Therapy, Done Differently.
Does this sound like you?
Are you trying to stay healthy/fit and can’t because of pain?
Are you worried that an injury will prevent you from being able to participate in activities you love, such as working out and running?
Do you have a passion for your sport and activity and don’t want to be limited by pain and injuries?
Have you been dealing with a chronic injury that hasn’t gone away?
Have you seen other medical providers in the past with no long-lasting change in your pain?
Have you been told to stop running or working out by a medical provider?
We focus on solving these problems with our Maryland physical therapy clients without arbitrary surgery, pain medication, or slowing down. Through personalized 1-on-1 services, we aim to keep our clients running, working out, and being active!
We have three physical therapy centers in Gaithersburg, Frederick, and Columbia, Maryland.

Who Our Physical Therapy Center Serves
Physical Therapy for Distance Runners
From 5Ks, to marathons, to triathlons - the distance may vary, but the agony and frustration of limited mobility, injury, and pain are the same. As runners ourselves, we understand and are just as committed to getting you back to your peak performance as soon and safely as possible.
Physical Therapy for Athletes
Whether getting back in the CrossFit box, hitting a new snatch PR, or returning to the field/game, you deserve to be pain-free while doing it! Maybe you enjoy CrossFit, Weightlifting, or Powerlifting? Or you're a team sport athlete and play soccer or lacrosse? Our physical therapists help Maryland-based athletes help you hit their performance peak.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Patients
Whether your goal is running a marathon after having kids, getting back to the CrossFit gym, or walking to your car without leakage, physical therapy can help. Dr. Veronica will work with you to optimize your pelvic floor to do what you love with no restrictions.
ACL tears are rampant in sports like Soccer, Lacrosse, and Basketball, to name a few. An ACL tear will most likely sideline you for an entire year from sports and put you at an increased risk of re-tearing your ACL.

Cash-based physical therapy means that we are out of network with all insurance companies and do not directly bill through insurance (thought you may be eligible for reimbursement directly from your insurance company). Our patients pay us directly each visit for their 1-on-1, personalized physical therapy session. This allows us to focus all of our attention on the patient and perform treatments to focus on patient goals without being dictated by insurance rules and regulations.
-
Insurance companies in the United States are continually cutting reimbursement rates for rehabilitation services and dictating how clinicians treat patients. With this decline in reimbursement, many clinics are forced to treat multiple patients in the hour (this means that therapists are seeing 4+ patients at the same time) and lower patient care standards in order to make ends meet. These clinics rotate patients in and use assistants and techs to complete treatments. Patients do not receive the individualized care they need, and are encouraged to go through exercises with little to no supervision. With a cash based practice, we are able to decide how we want to treat patients as we are not regulated by the insurance companies. This allows us to provide the highest quality care for our patients, while keeping them 1-on-1 with their doctor of physical therapy for the entire hour, every visit. This increase in quality results in our patients getting better, faster than traditional insurance based physical therapy. We typically see our patients only one time per week, saving you valuable time; meaning you aren’t leaving work early, commuting to and from the clinic, and spending an hour here 3 times each week.
In short, we are out of network with insurance companies because it allows us to actually spend the time with you, 1 on 1, and to actually solve your problem. Our clients get better faster, receive better quality care, and will be given the time of day to solve their problem for good.

You can certainly use your out of network insurance benefits. You can also use your health savings account (HSA) or flex spending account (FSA). While we do collect our fees directly from our clients, we provide an itemized superbill to submit to his or her insurance company. By submitting your receipt, you may be able to recover a percentage of the cost you pay upfront (typically 60-80%) from your insurance company, depending on your "out of network" coverage.

Yes, we do. Please contact our staff HERE, or call (301)-337-8095 to schedule your appointment with our Gaithersburg, MD physical therapy clinic.
