Cohen Health and Performance

"Sebastian came highly recommended us to and has been absolutely instrumental in my son's recovery. My son experienced a complicated and rare over-use elbow injury. Sebastian worked with my son's surgeon and even reached out to former PT colleagues to develop the best return-to-sport plan for my son. We have 100% confidence in Sebastian and are so thankful to be under his care. He's the best!"

"My experience at CHP has been top notch. Ethan has worked with me to address and resolve a number of issues and ensure that I am able to live an active lifestyle. The understanding that I want to be active, lift weights, run, etc. has been refreshing as previous PT's have just told me to avoid the activities that give me problems. CHP's approach is to fix issues and educate their patients on the "how & why" versus just prescribing exercises. Furthermore, my PT has worked to build rehab protocols specific to my issues and ultimate goals, rather than just following a standardized "one-size fits all" recovery strategy. I would highly recommend CHP based on my experiences to-date spanning 2.5+ years and several injuries."

"Six months after back surgery (lumbar fusion) and the usual post-op PT, I was recovering well but having trouble getting back to my previous level of fairly vigorous activity for this 68 year-old (boot camp style workouts, pickleball, walking large dogs at the local animal shelter). My spine surgeon recommended Cohen Heath and Performance and I'm very happy he did. They did a thorough evaluation and structured my program so that I could attain my specific goals. After 10 sessions, mostly with Dr. Sney, I was back at the gym, courts, and shelter with increased mobility and no significant pain. I highly recommend this practice."

"I had a really positive experience at Cohen Health and Performance, Sneh is great!! I came in with a finicky wrist issue that had been bugging me for a while - Sneh is a great diagnostician and was able to figure out how to effectively address it. Our sessions felt efficient, as in we got a lot done and it always felt like progress. The facility is also super nice!"

"I worked with Ethan Lennox at Cohen Health and Performance for a back injury I got from playing varsity basketball, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From day one, Ethan took the time to understand exactly what was going on, explain the mechanics behind my pain, and build a plan that felt both personalized and achievable. His approach is a rare balance of technical expertise, clear communication, and genuine care for his patients. Every session was productive and intentional. Ethan consistently tracked my progress, adjusted exercises when needed, and made sure I understood how each movement contributed to healing. What stood out most was how invested he was in getting me back to full strength. I never felt rushed, and he always checked in to ensure I was improving safely. Thanks to Ethan, I not only recovered from the injury but also built better mobility and stability than I had before. I'm now pain-free and confident in my back again. If you are dealing with a back issue or any injury that's limiting your life, I highly recommend working with Cohen Health and Performance and Ethan."

"Dr. Sneh did a great job of treating a pulled hamstring, tight calves, and plantar fasciitis symptoms during my last marathon training cycle. He also communicated with my coach to make sure that my training was adapted based on my symptoms week to week. Everyone at the Bethesda location was super friendly and committed to getting everyone back on track in their respective sports."

"OK, strap in because this will be a little more novelistic than your average Google Review. In 2019, I was at the height of (relative) running powers: I had PR'd in the marathon, 10-mile, I was crushing training and anticipating a big PR in my fall marathon. Unfortunately, some hamstring tendinopathy took me out about a week before the race but I wasn't too dispirited because I KNEW that I was in the golden age of my running. The next marathon, whenever that was, was going to be legendary. Then, COVID. No races in 2020. By the time I raced again, in September of 2021, something strange, subtle, and persistent had taken ahold of my running form. There was an awkwardness in my right leg that I couldn't really describe and couldn't really see on video but was absolutely there. My running cadence dropped about 5bpm; I constantly had a "floaty" feeling in my right leg; I was getting a black toenail on the second toe of my right foot, something I had never experienced before on any foot; an asymmetrical time spent on my left foot compared to my right (according to Garmin data); and, for the first training cycle ever, I failed to hit goal paces on most of my workouts. The marathon, predictably, was also a (time) failure. Frustrated but undeterred, I went back to the lab and drawing board, trying to figure out the issue. Over the next four years, I tried literally everything that was available: PRP injections, shockwave therapy, dry needling, MRIs, ultrasounds, physical therapy (with at least five different PT providers), yoga, strength training, gait analysis, insoles, and everything short of magic beans and spells over a black cauldron. Nothing made a difference. I kept training and running races and was stuck in a zone of running 10-15 minutes slower per marathon than I did in 2019. More importantly, running wasn't much fun. From my very first steps of every single run, I was fighting my body, and I was losing every single time. Near the end of my rope, someone recommended to me Cohen Health and Performance. I'll be honest; I had little hope. I didn't doubt that it was a high-quality clinic but I just felt like my issue was beyond repair and even recognition at this stage of 4-5 years and thousands of miles with fatally flawed running form. To add to my skepticism, I was paired with a doctor, Ethan Lennox, who was not a distance runner himself. I was dubious that a non-distance runner would be able to identify and fix my issues. Well, you can probably guess where this is going. Over the course of 10 sessions, Ethan made me a believer. He listened to me (something I didn't get a lot of in all my other forays), experimented constantly to find the real crux of the issue, and he saw things that I had been trying unsuccessfully to describe for nearly five years; things that no one else had been able to see. Our progress was slow and incremental but, after a few sessions, noticeable. One or two percent better after each session, starting around session four or five. Finally, before our final session, something clicked. When out on one of my runs, I started feeling almost like a normal person, just out of the blue (mile 9 of a 10 mile run). It really was shocking. I was excited but figured it was probably a fluke thing. Next time out, I was able to pattern that improved form for the entire run. Next time out, same thing. I am a week in and the improvements have been holding true. Honestly, I never thought I'd get to this place. I had nearly given up all hope of returning to a normalcy in my running. Were it not for the fact that my life's mission is to shave 11 seconds of my marathon PR so I could be faster than my brother, I probably would have given up on running a couple years ago. I still have a journey ahead of me, making the strength and other adjustments necessary to support the slightly altered muscle recruitment required by this new form, but it feels like Ethan and Cohen Health gave me my running life back after five years of being lost in the woods. I'm eternally grateful to Ethan and CHP."

"All my experience in using the services provided by COHEN HEALTH & PERFORMANCE has been very positive. In the early part of this year, they helped me with a back issue and a daily exercise program. Most recently, after experiencing some vertigo and dizziness issues, Dr Elizabeth Farmer knew exactly what to do to correct this problem. I have found she knows what questions to ask and then listens carefully to develop programs to improve one's wellbeing."
