Physical Therapy

Welcome to Performance Plus Physical Therapy. My name is Danelle Dickson, PT, DPT, OCS, Owner and Physical Therapist here at Performance Plus Physical Therapy, and I am excited to work with you to get you back to the things you love.

We help people of all ages in the DC area, make the best decisions and find the fastest solutions to getting back to the things they love, without repeated Doctor’s visits, without medications, without injections and without surgery.

This practice was created and born out of my personal experience of being injured as a dancer, and going through physical therapy myself to get me better. I was sooo scared and worried that I would never get better and be able to dance again. I wondered if my therapist had met anyone just like me and my problem. And even though she did, I feared that I would be different, and that my problem was incurable.

I’m excited to help you, so let’s start the conversation! Read more

    ... Wow! Thanks to Danelle's incredible skill and innate knack for healing, my foot is now 90% healed and I am virtually pain-free without drugs. I am so thankful I did not resort to a life of orthotics and limitation. After less than a dozen sessions with Danelle, I have been able to hike 8 miles (straight uphill both ways) in the Shenandoah mountains, ski for 4 days out west, and attend barre class (yes, in full demi-point) 3 days per week. Danelle taught me how to maintain proper functioning of my feet through ongoing exercises and stretches, helping me to feel empowered and optimistic about my future ability to move with ease. I will be forever indebted to her for helping me get my life back.

    I had been dealing with a dance related hip issue for months, and it has gotten so much better since I started seeing Danelle. I love that because she was a dancer, she understands what's causing the issue and how to fix it and how to work around it while it's getting better. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially dancers.

    I have nothing but great things to say about Danelle. She does a good job of giving detail explanations so you can understand what you are experiencing. I must add that this is a team effort! Danelle is definitely good on her part but somethings require some effort from yourself ie stretching, exercises, and consistency. Now if I could only work on that last part :-).

    Danelle Dickson, DPT, is a well-trained and knowledgeable clinician with exceptional diagnostic skills. She was extremely thorough in her examination of my musculoskeletal problems, and treated each symptom with complete confidence and strong manual therapy skills. I highly recommend her without any reservation.
