Aligned Orthopedic & Sports Therapy at K Street

"Typically, physical therapy clinics have therapists juggling two or more patients at once, but that is not the case at AOST. Every patient receives a dedicated 40-minute session where the therapist focuses entirely on them--and I truly appreciate that level of individualized care. This one-on-one approach not only builds trust but also creates a more effective and results-driven treatment experience. I'd like to take a moment to share more about my physical therapist, Aliya Bahjet, whose dedication has made a significant difference in my recovery. Aliya is an exceptional therapist who brings a rare combination of attentiveness, persistence, and clinical skill to her work. From the very first session, she listened closely to my concerns and tailored a plan that addressed both the symptoms and the root causes of my discomfort. She doesn't just follow a checklist--she adapts, observes, and adjusts, trying different techniques until she finds what works best. Her goal is clearly to see her patients improve, and she works tirelessly to make that happen. What stands out most is her determination. Aliya doesn't give up when something isn't working; instead, she applies her knowledge and creativity to explore new methods. That kind of commitment is hard to find. She is not only deeply knowledgeable but also incredibly encouraging, creating a space where you feel motivated and supported every step of the way. I'm grateful for the progress I've made under Aliya's care. She exemplifies what patient-centered, high-quality physical therapy should look like. If you're looking for a therapist who is focused, results-oriented, and truly invested in your well-being, I can't recommend Aliya Bahjet enough."

"I have nothing but good things to say about the doctors & PT at this facility. The doctors were fantastic to work with and went out of their way to give me the right diagnosis. My PT Adam was great to work with for 3 months. He understand my problem and my goals. He built a plan and progression that suited me. He's good at what he does and overall a nice guy. I do recommend this for anyone in DC who is struggling with an injury."

"This is a great practice!! I've seen Aliya Bahjet for the last 14 months for two major injuries, one requiring surgery. She is truly exceptional at her job - she was great at helping me process the mental aspects of recovery as well as the physical. Having been at the practice at least weekly for over a year, I can attest that the whole team is lovely. Cannot recommend enough!"

"lI was referred to Align Orthopedic by my Dr for a deep hip issue. I worked with @Aliya on K Street NW and have had great results in minimizing the discomfort. She was so thorough in her approach. She did research between our sessions. She sent me home with exercises and instructions that were very clear and easy to follow. I had worked with @Aliya prior on a shoulder issue and with the exercise and following her advice, I have zero pain in my shoulder. The appointment booking process was easy and the people who work the front desk are very friendly and helpful. Thanks to all the team at Aligned Orthopedic!"

"This is such a great PT office. The receptionists are lovely and so on top of it. Aliya is my therapist and she is lovely to talk to and a great therapist! She's gotten me better in only 3 sessions and going. Great place!"

"Ross Layden is outstanding. From day one, he's been incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He takes the time to explain everything clearly. My physical therapy experience has been better than I expected--you're truly in great hands with Ross."

"My experience at Aligned has been excellent. My physical Therapist (A Telchin) was terrific. Knowledgable, attentive, listens well. Very responsive to all of my questions and really knows her craft. I always had her full attention for my hip and shoulder issues. The best PT experience I have had"

"Helped me recover from knee surgery and I'm glad to report I've gone from hobbling on crutches to getting back into running! I worked with three different therapists over the course of three months (two were one-time fill-ins due to scheduling) and everyone was knowledgeable, kind, and enthusiastic. Front desk staff is always friendly and helpful are genuinely happy to see you. I've done a lot of physical therapy and Aligned Orthopedic is at the very top! Though I hope I do t have to go back any time soon I know I'll be in great hands."
