Joe Norton Physical Therapy LLC, Washington DC

Joe Norton Physical Therapy is the most impressive and effective physical therapy group I’ve ever encountered. In addition to their outstanding PT credentials, their certification in functional manual physical therapy is a game changer. It is a very precise, hands-on approach to identifying what is causing pain, how best to relieve it and prevent its recurrence. It is really remarkable. With chronic back pain, a spinal fracture due to osteoporosis and degenerative disc disease, Joe has worked with me in ways that have dramatically reduced my pain, enabled me to walk miles everyday, and to increase my weight lifting in the gym to help bone growth. I really did not believe I would be able to feel this strong. Similarly, I had injured my shoulder such that I could not sleep on my right side. After several weeks of work with Joe, my shoulder is totally pain free. Aside from the great results, Joe and his team make it easier to succeed. They send you home with videos of how to do the exercises prescribed so that you can be sure to use the right form to facilitate improvement. Joe sends encouraging emails to all of us to inspire us to keep moving and working at our PT goals. In short, if you want to get better and stay strong and balanced for years to come, this is the practice for you.

Joe is a fantastic physical therapist and helps all of his clients to understand their bodies better and know how to operate at the highest level. Thank you for the great experience and personalized exercise plan!

The physical therapists here are fantastic. I am working through a chronic issue that has hindered my running for years, and the PTs here looked me over and gave me a totally new (and totally correct!) diagnosis that I had never received before. They recommended a new course of treatment based on the new diagnosis and I now feel better than I have in a long time. Would highly recommend!

Joe Norton and his team provide outstanding service and physical therapy treatment and care. Joe Norton Physical Therapy is a true gem in the world of physical therapy and rehabilitation.

I had been struggling with a few running injuries for several months before I was referred to Joe Norton Physical Therapy by a Fitness Together, who are located in the same building. From the moment I walked in to Joe's studio, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Joe Norton's knowledge, experience, and expertise in the field of physical therapy were evident from the very beginning.

Joe's personalized approach to my treatment was remarkable. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assessed my condition before creating a comprehensive treatment plan that was tailored to my specific running needs and goals. He used a combination of traditional physical therapy techniques, as well as innovative approaches such as dry needling, to address my injuries.

I cannot speak highly enough of the effectiveness of Joe's treatment. His use of dry needling was a game-changer for me. It helped me resolve my running injuries and get back to doing what I love - running. I appreciate the way he explained the process and made me feel comfortable throughout each session.

Beyond the treatment itself, the care and attention that I received at Joe Norton Physical Therapy were exceptional. Joe is an incredibly kind, compassionate, and dedicated practitioner who genuinely cares about his patients' wellbeing and a great conversationalist. He took the time to answer my questions, provided me with valuable insights and advice, and ensured that I was comfortable with every step of my treatment.

Overall, I cannot recommend Joe Norton Physical Therapy enough. The level of care and expertise that Joe and his team provide is unmatched. If you are looking for a skilled and compassionate physical therapist who can help you overcome any injury or condition, look no further than Joe Norton Physical Therapy.

Thank you again for the exceptional service that you have provided me.

I would strongly recommend this group of highly professional therapists. After one year struggling with cervical issues and having tried just about everything, I finally see improvement after several productive sessions with Pam Norton. Grateful for her attention and interest, and effective application of her skills.

They're great: smart and careful. However, they don't take insurance, so you have to be comfortable paying out of pocket.

Joe is an amazing physical therapist- very solutions-oriented, thoughtful, creative, thorough, patient. Best I have seen by a long shot. Thank you!

Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing this physical therapy practice is. They are evidence based, client centered, and detail oriented. They are also especially good at working with high performing runners who have specific training goals.

I first came to Joe Norton after experiencing severe tendonitis from a sprained ankle and overuse. My symptoms were so bad that I could barely walk. After a thorough examination, Joe not only diagnosed my symptoms, but helped me gain control of the pain and swelling through a combination of dry needling, massaging, and strength training. Within two days, my pain largely subsided. And through a combination of these treatments, I was able to return to the same mileage and training schedule within 2-3 weeks.

I really appreciate how attentive this practice is. I never feel rushed. Joe is respectful of my goals and goes above and beyond to explain my symptoms and treatments to me (sometimes even sending me scientific articles after the session). I was in a really rough spot and am so grateful to have finally stumbled upon this amazing practice. I would recommend this practice to anyone - especially athletes who need a good partner to treat and prevent injuries.

Pam Norton has been absolutely fantastic and I really wish I could give her more than 5 stars on Google. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, supportive and kind. I have been dealing with a decades old nagging injury but have been hesitant about seeking help. Pam has been super effective and I am seeing steady progress. Pam also explains everything she is doing - answers all of my questions - and makes me feel totally supported throughout the entire workout. Most importantly, I am feeling better every week. Thank you, Pam and team, and for anyone considering PT, I would definitely encourage you to schedule time with Pam!

Joe is the best in the business. He loves what he does and that shows in his work. Highly recommend!

Last year I ran my first half-marathon. I had never actively run before, so I had a predictably high number of issues, pains, and other tightnesses during prep. Joe helped me during the whole prep to keep pain down, improve healing, and get and keep in shape. He is kind, conscientious, knowledgeable, and takes time to explain the issues and the evidence behind his approach. I highly recommend him!
PS: Seeing him worked, I actually managed to run 13.1 miles for multiple hours (don't ask how many), which felt like an incredible feat for me.

Incredibly positive experience. Lovely spot - never too crowded and tons of equipment. Love Joe's newsletter and emails with great advice about staying fit. Great customer service - easy to schedule/reschedule, omnichannel, kind, friendly, sense of humor, and a pleasure to talk to and work with. Pam is my PT and having worked with 4 other PTs this is by far the best experience I've had.she spends a lot of time on diagnosis, asks a ton of questions, really hears her patient, is incredibly knowledgeable about the body and figuring out what can be causing issues, gives fantastic massages, super clear directions on exercises, and is creative about giving me new routines so I don't get bored with it. She is realistic about how much out patient PT is possible and has an incredible memory for my body and my concerns. I never feel rushed and she often goes over time to spend quality time with me. It's truly a great experience and I haven't had running issues since I started working with her.often have to drive and free parking hasn't been an issue and it's nice that it's close to all the georgetown lunch, coffee, and shopping!

As a young athlete with chronic ankle pain my whole Joe and his team have gotten me to the most pain free I’ve ever been!

Joe Norton PT is the perfect place to go if you are recovering from surgery, suffering from cronic pain or you want an assist recovering from daily wear and tear on your body. They offer the highest level of personalized service. The scheduling website is super easy to navigate. And there is a great, positive vibe in the office! I give them 5 stars!

Joe and his team are phenomenal. They have treated me and my family for a number of injuries over the past two years. Their individualized approach to physical therapy and the patience, kindness and extensive knowledge they provide leads to great outcomes. They use a holistic approach which involves understanding the patient’s overall health and environment and tailor the treatments accordingly. I trust Joe and his team implicitly and am very fortunate to be their patient. I can’t recommend them enough!
