Jan Active Therapy

"I can't thank Dr. Nicholas Jan enough for the shockwave treatment on my hip. I had been struggling with persistent hip pain that limited my daily activities, but after a few sessions at Jan Active Therapy, the difference is night and day. Dr. Jan is incredibly thorough and explained exactly how the Sanuwave technology works to stimulate healing. It's a non-invasive game-changer. If you're in Rockville and dealing with hip issues, do yourself a favor and book an appointment here!"

"Kristina is awesome! I have been her patient for over two years now. She knows exactly which muscle is acting up and how to get my musculoskeletal system in a better place quickly. She also taught me exercises which have given me tools to handle flare ups. Migraines are contained, back pain under control and I am able to go on short hikes. She helps me understand the limits of my body and with that awareness, I am able to participate in many activities. Very caring. All around great physiotherapist. I will highly recommend her."

"I recently began working with Kristina for pelvic floor-related concerns, and from the very first appointment, it was clear that I had made the right choice. She is by far the most caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional physical therapist I have ever encountered. Kristina takes the time to truly listen, explains everything clearly, and creates a comfortable, respectful environment that puts you at ease. I feel truly fortunate to be under her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an exceptional physical therapist."

"Kristina was the best physical therapist I have ever worked with, and I have had a LOT of biomechanical issues over the years. I can honestly say she helped me to finally make some real progress on chronic problems that date back decades, and that have proven resistant to many other therapies and therapists."

"Cannot say enough about the wonderful care I received here. I learned SO much about the inner workings of the body, and how -literally- everything is connected!! Nick is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and extremely caring. Highly recommend +++++"

"I cannot say enough good things about Jan Active therapy and their approach to patients. They look at a person's entire structural function, not just individual parts. I have seen Kristina several times for back, shoulder & foot pain. Using manual therapy, she's always been able to make my situation better and less painful almost instantly. In addition, the orthotics that Nick provided, along with the exercises to get my low back realigned have helped me get and stay stronger. I never would have believed it was possible, and am so glad that they exceeded my expectations."

"A life saver! Highly recommended. A few months ago, I found myself at urgent care with a lumbar sprain, unable to rotate my spine or even bend down to put on shoes by myself. It was awful. I was seriously worried I'd have to cancel an upcoming vacation to Europe that I had been saving up for. With the long flights and constant bus rides, I wasn't sure my back could handle it. Enter Dr. Jan. From my very first visits, his dry-needling techniques worked wonders--quickly releasing tight muscles to the point where not only could I survive the Europe trip, I could actually focus on enjoying my vacation. Since then, Dr. Jan has been incredibly supportive, helping me rework my daily habits to prevent future injuries and build strength in muscles I had neglected for decades. He has a deep mastery of the human body and explains everything in a way that makes it easy to apply to your own movement, posture, and daily life. Two months later, I've changed how I sit at work, the shoes I wear, how I stretch, and even how I breathe. I'm now moving with more intention and confidence--and even back to my old routines of joining younger folks in hip hop dance classes. Considering I was being wheeled around in a hospital just a few months ago... this has been an amazing shift! I can't recommend Jan Active Therapy enough, especially Dr. Jan's curated programs and his expert dry-needling sessions. He works efficiently, precisely, and with a level of comfort that made even my most painful areas (like my lower back and glutes) something I couldn't wait to relieve. Let's just say... I'm only into butt stuff when Dr. Jan is around "

"Injury: Shoulder & Arm Pain Dr. Nicholas Jan provided a wide variety of effective treatments to reduce pain and restore functionality to my shoulder and arm. One of the most effective treatments for me was Shockwave Therapy, which stimulates the body to heal a certain area. My shoulder and arm felt better with each session, and over time healed more and more. Along with shockwave therapy, Dr. Jan provided me with breathing exercises and introduced me to mirror therapy. He emphasizes the importance of breaking bad habits and changing certain aspects to the way I live to maintain a healthier and stronger body. Through this, I began to reevaluate and relearn my form with my exercises, resulting in better quality of life for my body. I highly recommend Dr. Jan. He listens well and offers a lot of helpful tips and advice to improving your physicality in the long run."
