- Orthopedics“The orthopedics we go to were not hands-on. They look, observe and comment on it, but unless you broke a bone there’s not much they would do about it. Encompass Physical Therapy’s physical therapist we go to is hands-on. He has a doctorate, so he is very knowledgeable about anatomy. He’s been very cooperative and understanding. We received a book of exercise that we can follow, and he determined the cause of my wife’s problems. He did a little advanced investigation of what the problems are and this has been helping my wife a great deal.”
- Knee Replacement“Prior to knee replacement surgery, based on past experience with physical therapy, I dreaded the therapy I knew was coming. Following the surgery, my therapy sessions at the hospital and later at a rehab reinforced my dread.

- Manual TherapyElaina and Christine’s initial goal was to operate a clinic that enabled them to treat the patient’s entire system by utilizing a hands-on/manual therapy approach. Their philosophy to treatment led them to take classes with the Institute of Physical Art (IPA). Elaina and Christine have become the only two PT's in Anne Arundel County and only two of nine PT's in the state of Maryland to earn their Certified Functional Manual Therapy (CFMT) certification through the IPA. This certification has greatly improved Elaina and Christine’s skills as manual therapists and allowed them to achieve their goal of effectively treating the patient’s entire body and not just the diagnosis.
