Orthopedic and sports medicine therapy designed to help you achieve optimal movement, function and health.

The Jackson Clinics, LLC is a locally owned physical therapy practice in ten locations throughout Northern Virginia. Founded by Richard Jackson, PT, OCS, we specialize in outpatient orthopedics and sports rehabilitation. Our therapists and assistants possess advanced clinical skills in spinal disorders, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and peripheral joint problems, including rotator cuff injuries, knee injuries and foot and ankle pain.

Quality and consistency of care are the cornerstones of our practice. Quality means doing things that work. We design programs of care that have been proven to be effective treatment interventions. You can expect individualized, hands on care.

Consistency is achieved because all professional staff use the same evaluation formats in assessing your condition. It is the evaluation that dictates the treatments chosen. Regardless of who you see, every therapist evaluates you the same way. Further, we understand that two things are required for you to improve. First, patient education is essential you must understand your condition. Second, the therapist can't do it all. You must be an active participant in your care.
