The Physical Therapy Zone (Alexandria)

"Dr. Lorrie Anderson's PT, "the Zone," is absolutely, hands down the best PT ever. The pt's work with you 1-on-1 which is very rare. My mother had Parkinson's & the pt's were so good with her- she loved going to the Zone & worked so hard to walk and build up strength. I went to 2 other pt's per my insurance. I got Covid at one place and the PT's spent maybe five minutes with me in 90 minute sessions. I called the Zone and they worked with my insurance so I was able to go with them. Lorrie's dedication to helping my knee has changed my life! She's used various different techniques (red light, needling, massage, stretching, a realistic exercise plan on a user friendly app, to name a few. I highly recommend going to the Zone for PT! Clean and friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable & educated professionals & the personal attention to each patient is exceptional. 5 stars for sure!"

"If you suffer from lymphedema and have to wait to see a practitioner, or get on a waiting list at Medstar or Innova, you don't have to wait, and you don't have to suffer. Lymphedema comes and goes, but when it comes, you know it can be very painful. Compression garments just don't always do the trick - they're helpful, very, but couple the garments with physical therapy, and you have the winning ticket. While on vacation in October 2025, my arm lymphedema decided to explode and I couldn't control it with the compression garment. I was in such terrible pain that I decided I couldn't wait and needed help right away. I found The Therapy Zone and called - while on vacation - to ask for an appointment. I received a call back right away from Lori Anderson - she was certified in lymphedema therapy, so she understood the severity of my call. Lori went to work right away. She loaded my arm into the compression pump and afterward conducted hands-on therapy, massaging my arm and opening up the stubborn fluid blockages that had nestled on my wrist and elbow. What a difference she made. I've been seeing Lori twice a week since October and I cannot live without her PT and methodology. Her therapy has made my comfort level so much better, and best of all, I'm not experiencing the pain I had. Like I said, lymphedema comes and goes, so you must have a program in place for yourself to achieve the comfort you deserve when lymphedema flares. Big thumbs up for Lori at The Therapy Zone, and God Bless you dear reader."

"I just completed my rehab for a sprained ankle. Andrew my primary therapist, was knowledgeable, pleasant, and fun to work with. I especially like how he gave me printed handouts of my home exercises. I would highly recommend this lovely clinic to whomever needs PT."

"The Physcial Therapy Zone is a topnotch clinic in Old Town that offers personal service and one-on-one physical therapy. I worked with Dr. Andrew Drehoff on my knee osteoarthritis. I appreciated his positive, personal approach and the information and professional advice he shared on exercises and treatment options. The clinic's approach is to assign each patient to a physical therapist who will work with you at each appointment. My strength, comfort levels, and flexibility all significantly improved -- highly recommend."

"I was a very complicated case for PT following a routine LTKR. I am now 7 months post op and just delivered a boat to the Bahamas. Lori, Olivia, Sydney and Estevan enabled me to be able to deliver this boat with just one other person. The boat is the best therapy though. I'm moving 24/7. I still have pain and clicking in my knee but nothing like before. That hamstring is finally better. The quad is building and making me to do more."

"I recently did vestibular therapy for equilibrium issues brought on by a first time bout of vertigo (BPPV) with Dr. Sidney Brown, DPT. She was absolutely fantastic -- my symptoms began to resolve after a number of sessions allowing me to fully return to playing tennis and running around after my grandkids. The entire team is friendly, kind and expert."

"Look no further than The Physical Therapy Zone if you need PT for any reason. After a reverse shoulder arthroscopy, my post-surgery PT with Lori Alexander, MSPT DPT, was very well tailored for my recovery of range of motion & strengthening in just 4 months. Prior to surgery, I arranged for post-surgical PT based on my past positive experience with this practice. The one-on-one PT is so much better than every other practice I experienced. The home exercises are provided on-line in case you have a concern about your positioning. I also had a great experience with other therapists in this practice, Sydney Brown, DPT & Esteban Apodaca, MA LAT. It is a warm, welcoming & professional environment. The location is convenient, and street parking is easy. I am really grateful for the exceptional care I received at The Physical Therapy Zone."

"I cannot recommend Dr. Andrew Drehoff, DPT highly enough! I came to him with ongoing hip pain that was affecting my daily life and mobility. From the very first appointment, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. Dr. Drehoff took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explain everything in a way that made sense. He created a personalized treatment plan that not only addressed my pain but also focused on long-term strength and stability. Every session was purposeful, and he constantly adjusted the approach based on my progress and feedback. Thanks to his expert care, my hip pain has significantly improved, and I feel stronger and more confident in my movement than I have in months."
