About Us

Welcome to Sports + Spinal Physical Therapy

Sports + Spinal Physical Therapy (SSPT) is an independent physical therapy clinic founded in 1997 with the intention of bringing a practice to the Washington, DC, area that would be renowned for its advanced practices, exceptional patient care, and outstanding results.

At SSPT, we recognize that our patients are the key element in the physical therapy process. We empower our patients to take control of their health and well-being. Our plans of care are tailored to each patient's unique needs, and we involve our patients in every step of the process.

Over the last decade, SSPT has earned a reputation among referring physicians and patients alike for providing effective, individualized care. Today, our staff of highly skilled therapists and our ongoing commitment to excellence set us apart from other physical therapy clinics.

“I highly recommend Sports and Spinal Physical Therapy. The therapists at SSPT are very knowledgeable and always make certain that the patient comes first. By choosing SSPT you are guaranteed the best quality of care.”

-- Dr. (Father) Thomas C. Kane
