What if your physical therapist was the first person you called when anyone in your family got hurt? 🤍

At Core Wellness, we aren't just treating a single injury; we are building long-term relationships with our patients.

We have patients who came to us 15 years ago for lower back pain, and today, we treat their spouses for sports injuries and their daughters for postural issues.

Because we take a holistic, full-body approach to diagnosis and treatment, our patients trust us to care for the people they love most.

Our goal has always been to have entire families in the Del Ray community trust Core Wellness with their health.

Are you accepting "nagging pain" as just a normal part of getting older or being an athlete? 🛑

So many active adults in Alexandria push through old sports injuries, tight hips, or a stiff shoulder because they think it's just something they have to live with. But compensatory movement patterns eventually lead to bigger injuries down the road.

You don't have to just "live with it."

Our team specializes in resolving the complex, chronic orthopedic issues that might have been missed or unresolved for years.

We use advanced diagnostic skills and hands-on manual therapy to get you out of pain and back to the activities you love.

Tired of feeling like just another number or like nobody is truly listening?

Many of our patients come to us after frustrating experiences or dealing with pain for extensive periods of time.

At Core Wellness, we do things differently. When you book a session, you get a full session of dedicated, one-on-one attention with a highly skilled specialist. We listen, we diagnose, and we use hands-on manual therapy to actually fix the root cause of your pain.

As one of our patients recently said:
"They have highly experienced staff who give you dedicated, one on one attention for the full hour and they take a holistic approach to solving your issue -- really listening; asking good follow up questions each session and pivoting as needed; explaining what's going on at all times and how different issues might be connected; working on your muscles with different techniques instead of just giving you basic exercises to do by yourself that you could have found online"

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every body is different, every injury is unique, and your care plan should reflect that. 🤲

At Core Wellness, we combine multiple methods to give you a true hands-on experience:

🖐️ Manual Therapy — Our hands are our most powerful tool. Spinal adjustments and soft tissue mobilization target joint restrictions and restore proper alignment. No two sessions are the same because no two bodies are the same.

🔫 Instrument-Assisted Therapy — When precision matters, we bring in the tools. Percussive instruments deliver targeted force to break up scar tissue, increase blood flow, and accelerate recovery in ways hands alone cannot.

🪡 Dry Needling — Trigger point dry needling releases deep muscle tension that manual therapy alone cannot reach. It resets overactive muscles, reduces pain, and restores full range of motion fast.

The result? A customized, layered approach to care that gets you back to performing at your best. Whether that's in the gym, on the field, or just picking up your kids without wincing.

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Everybody is different, every injury is unique, and your care plan should reflect that. 🤲

Summer road trips are amazing for making family memories... but they can be terrible for your lower back. 🚗✈️

Sitting in a car or an airplane for hours compresses your spine, tightens your hip flexors, and weakens your core. By the time you finally arrive at your destination and start lugging heavy suitcases or carrying your baby on the beach, you might not be feeling the best.

We are here just for those recovering from injuries—it's also about performance and prevention. A tune-up session before and after your trip can provide targeted mobility exercises and hands-on adjustments to keep your joints fluid and pain-free, so you can actually enjoy your vacation. ☀️

Don't let a stiff back ruin your summer plans. Link in bio to book a tune-up session with us before OR AFTER your next trip!

Hot flashes and mood swings get all the attention when we talk about menopause. But there is a silent change happening that we really need to be talking about: bone density and muscle mass loss.

As estrogen levels drop, women can experience a rapid decline in both. This isn't just about feeling weaker; it significantly increases your risk for osteoporosis, joint pain, and even pelvic floor dysfunction.

The good news? Physical therapy is preventative medicine. Through targeted, load-bearing exercise and customized resistance training, we can help you safely build lean muscle and stimulate bone growth. It's never too late to start lifting, but the best time to start is now. 💪

Swipe to learn why strength training is your best defense during menopause.

"I just had a baby, of course I leak when I sneeze." 🛑 Stop right there.

It is incredibly common to experience leaking, pelvic heaviness, or pain after having a baby. But common does not mean normal—and it definitely doesn't mean it's something you just have to live with forever.

Your pelvic floor went through a major event, and just like any other muscle group, it needs proper rehabilitation to regain strength and coordination.

At Core Wellness, we don't just treat the symptoms; we find the root cause of your pelvic floor dysfunction so you can get back to jumping, laughing, and living with confidence.

Swipe through to learn why you shouldn't settle for "it's just part of being a mom."

Your body is doing something absolutely miraculous right now. 🌿 But let's be honest... the lower back pain? Not so miraculous.

Over 40 weeks, your center of gravity completely shifts. Your pelvis expands, your ligaments loosen, and your spine takes on an entirely new load. It's no wonder you're experiencing round ligament pain, sciatica, or an aching lower back.

But here's the truth: you aren't meant to suffer through your pregnancy. Prenatal physical therapy can help release tension, align your pelvis, and give you the tools to move comfortably as your baby grows. Plus, an aligned pelvis can help your baby get into the optimal position for birth!

Swipe to see how we help our pregnant mamas find relief. ✨

Mobility is one of the most overlooked pillars of long-term health.

It’s what allows you to reach overhead without pain.
To get down on the floor with your kids… and get back up again.
To rotate, bend, walk, and move through your day with confidence.

And as we age, it becomes even more important.

Loss of mobility is one of the earliest predictors of declining function.
When joints stop moving well, the body compensates.
Pain increases. Strength decreases. Balance suffers.

But the good news?

Mobility can improve with the right approach.

When you improve the way your joints move and the way your body coordinates movement, you restore efficiency, reduce pain, and protect the activities that make life meaningful.

At Core Wellness, mobility work isn’t just stretching.
It’s targeted, intelligent movement designed to help your body function the way it was meant to.

Because the goal isn’t just to move more.

It’s to move well for decades to come.

If stiffness, tightness, or aches are creeping into your daily life, it might be time to give your body the attention it deserves.

📍 Come see us at Core Wellness and let’s get you moving better.
