Hand-N-Hand
Therapy was founded in 1990 by Diane Stroud PT, Advanced
Certified Rolfer® and Pamela Wood PT, Medical Reserve
Corps member. Having met through the Visiting Nurse Association
(VNA), both brought unique skills to the field. Diane
having a passion for women's health and the mind/body
connection; and Pam with the desire to mix the art with
the science of the physical therapy field. Together they
joined forces to create one of the longest standing woman
owned, holistic physical therapy clinics in Virginia.
And in 2007 Hand N Hand Therapy officially became SWaM
certified and has proudly joined the ranks of other small,
women owned minority businesses. In 2008, Hand N Hand
Therapy was accepted into the National Green Pages™
for their environmentally aware business practice and
is a member of Green America.
Our past 30 years of experience in physical therapy and
rolfing® has made us understand the body as a balanced
structure that lends itself to efficient and fluid movement
patterns. When this balance is disrupted through physical
or life stresses, a "dis-ease" of function may develop,
ultimately manifesting as annoying or incapacitating symptoms.
As seasoned manual therapists we attempt to identify these
imbalances and provide the necessary reeducation to enable
the body to reclaim a greater state of health, comfort
and balance. Some of our work was shared with the American
Boy's World Ultimate Frisbee team at the 2004 tournament
in Turku, Finland and again with the GMU men's volleyball
team in Fairfax, Virginia.
While we offer many therapeutic techniques and modalities,
the hands and eyes are our key tools. Our 2700 sq. ft.
clinic serves as a great support for the following: musculoskeletal,
neuromuscular and lymphatic evaluations; individualized
hands-on physical therapy care in private treatment rooms;
rolfing® sessions; manual lymphatic drainage techniques
(LDT and MLD); movement analysis, neuromuscular reeducation,
tailored exercises, individualized gym programs, patient
education and group classes.
In the interest of education and wellness,
we welcome the patient's family, friends or practitioners
to join us at Hand N Hand, and we will happily coordinate
your treatment program with any of your other practitioners. |
