Release Physical Therapy

Release Physical Therapy is a physical therapy practice in the West End of Washington, D.C., offering hands-on manual therapy alongside newer equipment. Its treatments include Active Release Technique, dry needling, K-Laser therapy, Shockwave therapy, ASTYM therapy, Graston Technique and Blood Flow Restriction training, plus a running assessment and massage therapy. Patients are treated for a wide range of problems, from shoulder, back and knee pain to post-surgery recovery, and many reviewers mention the time their therapists spend explaining each plan.

Appointments are booked online with a preferred therapist, and the practice keeps a waitlist when a week is full. The office is open weekday mornings and evenings, with shorter Friday hours and Saturday visits by appointment only. It is closed on Sundays, and the building sits on L Street in the West End.
