Inspire Physical Therapy

Dr. Laura W. Folger is amazing. Her knowledge, her PT skills (especially manual PT skill), and the way she has educated me about how to move have been a game changer in healing from injury/trauma! She is the GOAT! Highly recommend seeing her; 10/10!

I have had some fine physical therapists in the past, but Laura’s abilities and knowledge far exceed every previous experience. She understands that just because my knee inflammation brought me to her, there are other parts of my body that are affected by this problem and she is addressing those areas, as well. I have made great progress under her care and I am so appreciative of the thought and attention that she gives me. She has e-mailed numerous times between visits to check in. She also has wonderful technology for personalized at home exercises (with videos), text and email appointment reminders and more. I recommend her to everyone!

Outstanding Physical Therapy for Runners Laura's Physical Therapy has been transformative for my running. Her expertise in biomechanics and preventive care helped heal my injuries and taught me how to prevent new ones. Her personalized approach improved my running form and core strength and introduced me to Pilates, which has been instrumental in enhancing my flexibility and muscle balance. I highly recommend Laura to any runner seeking to enhance performance and avoid injuries. Her quality of care is top-notch, and her dedication to finding suitable therapeutic activities to set me on the right path sets her apart.

Laura (Inspire Physical Therapy) was referred to me by a PM&R from VCU. I have had a number of surgeries due to sport's related injuries and as I have aged, have become a chronic pain patient, mostly involving my back. My experience with other physical therapy groups in central Virginia have been mixed, offering some but not satisfactory results. My first session with Laura started with an in-depth evaluation, assessing range of motion, flexibility, posture, as well as other parameters. We also discussed activities of daily living (ADL's) and how my pain impacted them. During that session she showed me a relatively simple, but amazingly affective stretch that improved my lower back immensely! As happy as I was to learn this stretch, I was also frustrated in that through all the years of s

Laura was wonderful! I came to her with neck and knee problems that were causing all sorts of issues and preventing me from doing many of the things I enjoy. After the first session, I noticed a difference! I worked with Laura for about 8 weeks and by the end, I was feeling very much like my old self. Symptoms that I hadn't even realized were connected to my neck issues had disappeared! Even more amazing, I was recently invited on a last minute trip with a friend to hike in Utah. Thanks to Laura, I had enough confidence in my balance, strength, and endurance to go. I hiked up and down canyons, scrabbled across slip rock, waded through rocky streams, and navigated narrow canyon ledges while carrying a backpack. Neither my neck nor my knee bothered me at all during the trip. I credit my sess
