Respire Physical Therapy - Falls Church

"I have a long history of low back pain and multiple surgeries since 2021, and I've worked with many physical therapists over the years. None of them compare to Dr. Sarah at Respire PT. Dr. Sarah is patient, kind, and highly professional. She truly listens, treats her patients with respect, and continuously updates my exercises based on how my body responds. Her personalized approach has made a real difference in my recovery. I also want to mention Danah at the front office; she is nice, professional, and always respectful. Overall, I genuinely love going to Respire PT! And highly recommend it!!"

"I came in with bad hip pain from a weight lifting injury. Now I am totally pain free. I worked with Dr. Gabriel, he was very professional and really took the time to listen to me and explain the purpose behind each stretch and exercise. The sessions are 1 on 1 and they watch carefully the whole time to ensure you learn the proper form. I have been to other PT centers where multiple patients are juggled at the same time and found the 1 on 1 sessions to be MUCH better. I would 100% recommend to family and friends."

"I went to Respire for chronic knee pain and had a fantastic experience. The reception staff were great, friendly and very helpful each time. Kathy was very helpful with every part of the process, explaining how my muscles worked and what the core issue was. She was great at pushing me to take care of myself daily and working with her was a breeze. After regular appointments with her the pain was much improved, and then gone, and I was feeling much stronger. She also made sure to give me all the information I needed to continue my progress once I "graduated." Should I need physically therapy again in the future, I'm 1000% returning to Kathy."

"Respire Physical Therapy is the best! Dr. Kevin Teng, Helen Kim and their staff are great! Dr. Teng is very skilled and always kept me motivated throughout my treatment. He went above and beyond to ensure I reached my goals. The clinic is very clean and well-equipped, and the scheduling process was easy. I always felt like my time was valued during my appointments. I was very impressed with the individualized approach to my treatment. Dr. Teng really took the time to understand my specific needs and developed a plan that worked for me. They have an office dog named "Grizz", who calmed my nerves and made my experience even more pleasant! I would highly recommend Respire Physical Therapy to anyone looking for quality physical therapy. They are professional, caring, honest and truly focused on helping you achieve your best possible outcome! Thank you, Respire Physical Therapy for making my life better!"

"I came in here with chronic knee pain from playing volleyball and was at the point where stairs was not an option for me. Kathy helped identify the root cause, explained everything going on and why we would do certain stretches or exercises. She also wanted me to have to knowledge to be my own advocate for the future. After a few months of appointments and daily stretches / exercises, the pain is gone! I'm not 100% back to volleyball, but I'm following the exercises she provided me after our final appointment and I'm sure I'll be back to 100% in no time!"

"There are so many reasons why Respire Physical Therapy is a wonderful place to get physical therapy. I did about 8 weeks of PT 2x a week to help me regain flexibility and strength for my foot after bunion surgery, and throughout all my visits, I felt like me and my dog were treated like family. Did I say "dog"? Yes, my pup was welcomed to every PT visit and she also got along with their dog, Grizz. For dog-lovers, this is probably the top reason why you should pick this practice over any others. Here's a list of all the other reasons to choose this place: both Helen and Dr. Kevin Tseng were very welcoming and accommodating, the quality of PT was excellent (started off easy and careful and gradually cranked up the difficulty as could be endured), scheduling appointments was easy and early or late appointments are available, parking is abundant and free, location is great, and recovery snacks were a plus. It's been a few months since my last PT appointment, and since then I've done many strenuous hikes, regular workouts, and running without pain. I highly recommend this practice."

"I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Salas at Respire. During training for a marathon, I injured my hip with only a few weeks to go before the race and was very worried I wouldn't be able to run. Dr. Salas immediately diagnosed the issue and provided excellent care to help alleviate my pain and strengthen the injured area. He carefully listened to my concerns and adapted the therapy to ensure I would be able to run the marathon. Every appointment was one on one for an entire hour; I was surprised by this as I previously have had PT from practices were the therapists were treating multiple patients at once and it was very rushed. This was the complete opposite. The environment was very relaxed and it was very easy to work with/schedule appointments at the practice. Overall, the care I received was exceptional at Respire. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Salas to anyone looking for physical therapy."

"Dr. Alec Hoover is amazing! He is very kind, trustworthy, friendly and knowledgeable. I successfully completed my PT with him, my back is feeling so much better. I learned a lot about my spine/muscle health and now can just proceed with the exercises at home. So hard to find a doctor you can trust. Very grateful for Dr. Alec Hoover and his team!"
