I couldn't recommend Capitol Physical Therapy more! Everyone from the administrative staff to my physical therapist was friendly and professional. Making and adjusting appointments was easy. I met with Valerie Rucker for six weeks and was in awe of her knowledgeable and clear guidance throughout my treatment. Beyond that she's a great listener and our time together was a delight. Finding a medical office that is brimming with such an amazing team is a rare find!

Dr. Valerie was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and works at your pace. Pelvic floor therapy seems a bit uncomfortable to discuss or seek treatment for but she makes you feel comfortable and helps you understand your body and how to work around smaller muscles that you usually don't pay attention to. She also gave me handy post it notes for my exercises that serve as reminders to do my exercises regularly!

I have had an excellent experience with Dr. Subha. She has helped me immensely, and I strongly recommend her for PT.

Dr. Subha is awesome! She helped me work through the lingering pain I was dealing with, as well as my post-surgery recovery this year. Very thankful to have her as my PT!

Dr. Rucker is amazing- performed diagnostics and successful treatment in one appointment and was so kind throughout the process. Staff is also incredibly kind and professional. Highly recommend.

Alice is phenomenal! I came in with a painful debilitating sciatica issue. Alice worked expertly and patiently with me, helping me regain my strength and range of motion. I'm nearly pain free now and well equipped on my path to a full recovery.

I worked with Dr. Subha after having rotator cuff surgery and she was great. I really appreciated that she listens to you and works with you to address your particular concerns. All of the office staff at Capital PT were also very helpful. It’s easy to give them a five-star rating.

I've never had any known issues with my body movement and also wasn't injured - but through years of moving my body in certain ways I developed Sciatica & Disc Issues. I have been lost & confused for a year and a half trying to figure out my new reality - and previously didn't have any luck with another PT back in Chicago.

When it flared up again this summer my PCP encouraged me to re-try PT, and I'm glad I found Capitol PT! I've been coming to Capitol PT for about 3 months now to see Dr. Kaitlyn and she has been an angel in disguise of human form.

She does an amazing job of creating a safe space to discuss what's going on with my body and helping educate me for what my body needs to keep me optimistic about my future. In the short time I've been going, I've been able to better equip myself with the unique movements my body needs to minimize pain while also work on getting stronger again! I'm excited to continue my journey with her.

I also need to mention that the front desk staff here is also amazing - they always greet me with a bubbly smile and always work with my schedule to try and find what I need! They really care - and unfortunately that is a rare thing we face as patients sometimes!

I'm so grateful to have connected with Dr. Subha and Capitol PT. In addition to healing decades-long pain in my back, neck, shoulders, and jaw, I'm learning so much about my body. Subha Nagasubramanian is a truly gifted physical therapist. She has intuitive and deep knowledge of the body. And She's able to teach that knowledge, too.

Alice did an amazing job with very creative techniques to rehab my shoulder that I suspected may have needed surgery, originally. Well executed, impressive knowledge & dedication. A+ Grade

Great place for holistic (mind/body) physical therapy (diagnosis/treatment). People are friendly and knowledgeable; you feel comforted in that they know what they're doing :). Shout out to Subha for not only her discipline but also her ability to provide out-of-network recommendations due to my international travel.

Alice is the best. Capital Physical Therapy changed my life!!!! They tailored a plan unique to my condition. I was looking for a new PT because my last PT came up with a cookie cutter plan for me and made me feel like an afterthought But thank God for Capital Physical Therapy!!!! I’m truly grateful 🥹 I’m already seeing positive results after working with Alice.

Dr. Subha has saved my life. After spending almost two years going to different doctors, she’s the only one who has been able to not only help me - but give me hope that my symptoms will continue to improve . 10/10

I nearly broke down in tears when I was folding laundry because I was able to do it pain free for the first time in a decade. I’ve been to loads of PTs over the years and Subha has helped me more in six weeks than anyone has ever done. I cannot recommend her enough!

I highly recommend Alice as a PT. She was excellent in helping me recover from my neck injury. She identified stretches and exercises to help me address my pain and nerve issues. She is also caring, easy to talk to, and took the time to listen to my concerns and address my questions.

Subha is a fantastic physical therapist. It’s clear that she actually cares about her patients. Subha goes above and beyond to help her patients get better and continues her own education to be up to date on new treatments. Unlike some other PTs I’ve been to, she’s very involved and hands on for stretches/exercises, and is extremely knowledgeable about the body and how injuries impact other parts of the body. I would absolutely recommend Subha. She accepted my insurance and her office did a verification to help me understand my financial responsibility.

I came in to receive help with a hamstring injury that had not been getting better over a four month rest period and thank goodness I was in the hands of Alice Aehl. Highly intelligent and versatile in her treatment methodologies she helped isolate the area of pain and laid out a detailed plan to get me back on track to my running ways. Through her treatment, my leg was feeling stronger and stronger each week to the point that the pain had subsided and I was on a path to running again. I would highly recommend Alice to anyone in need of physical therapy treatment!

I would highly recommend Dr. Subha. She took a holistic, collaborative approach to physical therapy and addressing the root causes. Aside from being highly skilled and knowledgeable, she’s a friendly, kind, and communicative practitioner.

Subha is hands down the best physical therapist I have ever seen and also very likely in DC. She is kind and smart, works with the latest evidence-based approaches, uses a variety of techniques including dry needling, manipulation of the body, and exercises. She is willing to be responsive to the patient's needs and feedback and also has good referrals to other specialists if needed. I highly recommend her. I've been going to her for nearly 2 years now to try to get back into shape and working order from hip, knee, and foot issues... almost there!

Dr. Subha is an amazing practicioner who knows her stuff and truly cares about her patients. Lot of PTs could learn from her in terms of expertise, bedside manner, and professionalism. She is the highest quality provider I’ve ever worked with! It was a blessing to have her as my doctor.

Excellent experience with Dr. Valerie Rucker & her staff. Highly recommend. Positive, proactive, & patient.

Valerie saw immediately that my vertigo was caused by bad posture and gave me several exercises. I do them several times a day because they are easy and they make me feel better right away.
Valerie knew how to make me feel calm and confident. I would return to her whenever I might need physical therapy. I recommend her highly.

I have had years of aches and pains in my knees and lower back. Having gone to numerous physical therapists and PT offices in the past, I was a bit worn down by the process and losing faith in my body's ability to recover properly. Thankfully, I chose to try physical therapy again and I am so thankful that I did.

Dr. Maya Drummond is absolutely excellent. She takes the time to ask you questions about your pain, where it is, why it may be happening and then walks you through exercises to improve your condition. She will also explain how to prevent future injury, and how the body is all connected. She even would go into the mind-body connection at times! The attention to detail, and the knowledge of the human body that Maya possesses are second to none. I had full faith in her, and she has me back to playing soccer pain-free and I couldn't be happier!

The best thing about Maya, and all the other PTs at Capitol Physical Therapy, is that you have their time. They are with you 100% of the time, watching your form, correcting it, and improving the way your body works. No assistants, it's them and that builds the connection and faith in the recovery process.

Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how friendly and helpful the rest of the staff at the front desk are. They are fantastic, positive and help facilitate the necessary atmosphere to make healing possible. If I ever need more physical therapy in the future, Capitol Physical Therapy is THE one and only place I will go to.

Alice was great! Explained everything and prescribed me an at home regimen that we updated with my progress. This time last year I could hardly walk some days due to pain from an incomplete meniscus tear. Now I'm running a half marathon next week.

Dr. Maya Drummond is an amazing physician. She taught me many exercises that has helped with my recovery. Her persona is always professional and caring. The staff at Capitol Physical Therapy is always helpful and friendly. I recommend this facility to everyone in need of PT services.

Life saving! Dr. Subha is amazing! After a couple of weeks I was pain free for the first time in months.

I went to this office for my back pain for a few sessions and I got good results. My back feels much better now. I highly recommend them.

Subha was a godsend when I found her. I was on the road to my second surgery. She helped me work through my muscular-skeletal issues and helped me not just avoid surgery but reverse the damage. I can’t recommend her more highly.

I could not be happier with the quality of care, attention, and personalized feedback I've received from Dr. Kaitlin Windingland, (who I've been seeing three times a week after my ACL reconstruction surgery in September).

Through her expertise, I've been able to have a fast recovery from my surgery, from troubleshooting key pain issues I've experienced, to pushing me when my body is ready.

On top of all of this, Dr. Windingland is extremely knowledgeable, poised, and is a passionate advocate for healing, and she always creates a comfortable space for me to talk about my experience, and takes an active stake in my well-being and recovery.

Having visited multiple physical therapists throughout my life, I can confidently say that Dr. Windingland stands out far above the rest and could not recommend her enough!

Kaitlin is amazing! So knowledgeable, creative, empathetic, thorough, and fun to hang out with. I felt better after each session as well as over time. I'm so grateful!

Subha is a miracle worker. Her adjustments were incredibly effective. Her understanding of anatomy and physiology is unmatched. I highly recommend her!

Capitol Physical Therapy has great therapists (Kaitlin is phenomenal) and the scheduling staff is very flexible and accommodating. It was easy to schedule my first appointment, their location is conveniently right off the Metro, and the availability of early morning appointments made them way easier to work with than other physical therapists I contacted.

Subha is the best physical therapist I’ve ever encountered, she’s been able to help me when no one else has been able to with my jaw and ear issues like pain and tinnitus

Dr. Alice helped me out in so many ways and I’m so glad I’m leaving her care feeling 10 times better than when I started.

My wife had a muscle pull and she had a bad pain and we were having trouble getting appointments, we called in and Ms.Suba was so kind to take her in and tried to get us in after her busy appointment and patiently listened to her and took her in on that same day without scheduled appointment . She’s is an excellent angel who helped her and gave her the best therapy and also put her on next appointments.

We got to say many thanks to her, which will not be just enough. Will definitely remember her and genuinely recommend her to anyone who needs any assistance in DMV , she is the best.

I’ve been going to see Dr. Subha for a few years now to treat TMJ and she’s helped me tremendously. At the start I had jaw locking, clicking and pain that was causing migraines. Her expertise helped me overcome the serious problems that TMJ was causing and live pain-free for the first time in several years. Not to mention she’s kind and very caring.

It is extremely difficult to find qualified people to treat TMJ and so for anyone in the DMV area looking for a proven expert to treat their pain, look no further than Dr. Subha!

Best PT EVER. Dr Alice is the best. I have had to go to several PT due to my spinal fracture. As well as being employed by a PT clinic. I can safely say she has dedicated a lot to making sure I am accommodated and on my way to feeling better.

Dr. Maya was terrific and we resolved my pain in half the number of sessions we expected at the start.

Dr. Maya Drummond provided excellent and compassionate service for my physical therapy, not only addressing immediate issues but giving very helpful preventive advice. Unlike larger PT offices that are usually crowded with clients spread out over an open factory-floor setting, CPT is very focused on you as an individual, and they take into account the others you work with outside their practice on your physical well-being including personal trainers. That's a really nice touch - it's more holistic than I normally get from the huge PT operations linked to big specialist medical practices (orthopedists, etc).

I’ve really appreciated Dr. Alice’s approach to my issues. She’s super thoughtful and has done a great job thus far. Plus, the patient app with exercises is super helpful. Highly recommend this practice!

Dr. Subha is truly committed and compassionate about what she does. I'm very happy with the progress I've made at her facility and I highly recommend her for any of your physical therapy needs.

Staff and facilities are top notch. The real star is Subha, had terrible biceps and pectoral tendonitis after a rib injury. Couldn’t set it straight for years - Subha quickly diagnosed it and treated it effectively. She’s amazing. Also, she’s surprisingly incredibly strong and can easily work and maneuver through thick muscle or tight muscle. Back to full strength and lifting/hockey thanks to Subha!

Only had one appointment so far, but Dr. Valerie was amazing! Kind, caring, and attentive. The front desk ladies are also very friendly and helpful. Overall great experience. Highly recommend!

My physical therapy experience with Dr. Valerie is the best I could have imagined! I was searching for a knowledgeable, people-centered physical therapist before a major gender-affirmation surgery. Finding the perfect physical therapist with the combination of skills and openness for my particular need wasn't easy, so I was relieved and thrilled after my first consultation. I was immediately comforted by Dr. Valerie's warmth, encouraged by her expertise, and pleasantly surprised by her willingness to jump into things right away! I was in great shape as I entered surgery because of my early sessions with her; and my post-surgery work with her made all the difference in my recovery. I might even have more flexibility and strength after surgery than I did before, even with a serious functional fitness routine. And most of all, I always looked forward to our appointments, appreciated her grace with traffic, learned new things about my body, and benefited by the fact that CPT is in network, so I paid only $30 per session, which was meaningful after having over 12 sessions. I can't recommend Dr. Valerie enough!

I am so grateful for Subha Nagasubramanian PT! I had knee pain, for which I went to a general practitioner, Dr, then to a chiropractor, and it never went away. PT Subha fixed it!!! She took the time to meticulously diagnose it and explain to me in detail what's causing the pain. She assured me that it's an easy fix, and after a few sessions, it will be gone. She was on target. She devised a strengthening and stretching protocol for me. After the 1st couple of weeks, I felt a huge improvement. After a few months, the pain is completely gone!!! I can't recommend Subha PT enough. Not only is she masterful at her art, she is an amazing person, so cordial and personable it's a joy to see her. Thank you so much for your help Subha 🙏🏽
