Are You Tired of Knee Pain Holding You Back?
Nothing is more frustrating than constant knee discomfort that disrupts your workouts, limits your golf swing, or makes everyday activities painful. Whether it's reaching overhead, lifting weights, or even sleeping through the night—you deserve better than living with limitations.
Pain That Keeps Coming Back
You've tried rest, ice, and even other PT clinics, but your knee pain returns weeks later. You're stuck in a cycle that never addresses the real problem.
Fear You'll Never Be the Same
Doctors tell you to "stop running" or "accept limitations," but you know your body is capable of more. You deserve a solution that gets you back in the game.
Generic Treatments That Don't Work
Fifteen-minute sessions with rotating therapists who barely know your story. You need expert care that's tailored to your goals, not cookie-cutter protocols.

"Running was something I loved and helped me cope with stress, but unfortunately, chronic knee pain hit. After a doctor gave me a grim diagnosis of arthritis and told me I should stop running completely, I was devastated. I called Movement is Medicine and talked with Dr. Amanda about the diagnosis. She gave me hope and scheduled me with Dr. Marc. Dr. Marc Adams spotted what previous therapists missed and quickly tailored a plan for me. Now, not only am I running again, I am leaving my old pace in the dust. I have never felt this strong, and I am absolutely loving moving my body again. When I move, it feels like a celebration of what my body can do instead of a painful chore. So, if your pain has sentenced you to the sidelines, ditch the limitations and sprint towards Dr. Adams and Movement is Medicine. He will help you unlock potential and help you feel your best!"

"This place is truly life-changing! Worked with Dr. Marissa and she helped with more than just my knee pain. She troubleshooted various olympic lifts and has made me so much more comfortable in Crossfit. Went from having problems back-squatting to hitting a 30 pound PR! Grateful to this practice!"
Amal Bouh
"Working with Dr. Marc over the past few months has been amazing. I have experienced chronic knee pain for the past several years. Over the course of my treatment plan I have seen great improvement. It has been well worth the several hour drive to be able to receive such great care. The individualized treatment plan and one on one attention to my specific concerns has been awesome. Thanks Marc!"
Anthony Mennona
"Super easy scheduling and was even available to see me on a work holiday. Marc's thorough evaluation led to a dedicated and simple rehab plan. Follow up visits were just as thorough with the doc, and ultimately I got back to my baseline with some added flexibility and strength. Would highly recommend MiM!"

No! Virginia is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral. You're free to book a free phone consult or evaluation directly with us. If we determine that you need imaging or a physician's evaluation for your knee pain, we'll refer you to the right specialist.

Every patient is different, but most people with knee pain see significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. During your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific condition, activity level, and goals. Our goal is to not only eliminate your knee pain but also give you the tools and knowledge to prevent future injuries, so you don't need us long-term.

Unlike traditional PT clinics where you might see different therapists or assistants each visit, you'll work one-on-one with the same doctor of physical therapy for the full hour every single session. We focus on treating the root cause of your knee pain, not just managing symptoms.

We specialize in active adults and athletes, so we understand the demands of training, running, and performance.
