Valley Physical Therapy and Sports Performance

I came to see Adam for a tricky hamstring issue that I had not been able to resolve with other physical therapists. He immediately understood the issue and helped me to address it in just a few sessions. I could not have been happier with the result. Adam is uncommonly knowledgable about how to help athletes. Scheduling and billing were completely smooth and flexible. The sessions were exactly what I needed. And he did a great job providing resource to let me understand what exercises to do in between sessions.

Adam Van Nortwick is incredibly knowledgable and skilled when it comes to rehab for runners. He was instrumental in helping my daughter get back to competitive running after a significant hip injury. She was diagnosed by Dr. Wilder, the medical director of UVA Runner's Clinic. When Dr. Wilder learned Adam was our physical therapist, he told us we were in great hands. Adam is the best in the Valley for running injuries and performance improvement. I highly recommend him.

I was referred to Adam by a local Nurse Practicioner due to a suspected herniated disc in my low back. Through 5 visits over a period of 7 weeks, I am feeling great! Dry needling, muscle re-training and core strength exercises have helped me regain all of my strength and motion. Don't delay, go see Adam today!

Before coming to Dr. Adam, I had been struggling with a knee injury for 2 months. I had seen various high level doctors and trainers that seemed to have “answers” for me, but 2 months later I seemed to have made little to no progress. However after seeing Dr. Adam, not only did I see progress almost immediately, he was able to explain exactly what he was doing and why I was hurt. Dr. Adam also treats his job with much enthusiasm and makes it clear he truly cares for each and every patient. Would definitely recommend!!

Simply put, Adam cares. I came to him feeling discouraged and desperate to resolve a nagging knee pain that had prevented me from running more than a mile without discomfort for MONTHs. After trying traditional physical therapy with little progress, I decided to seek care out of network (and out of my zipcode), and that’s when I found Adam. From the very first session, I noticed a clear difference in his approach. Adam dedicates the full hour entirely to you—no distractions, no handoffs to aides, and no one-size-fits-all routines. He takes the time to understand the whole picture, using a holistic strategy that combines soft tissue work with gait correction. What really sets Adam apart is how much he genuinely cares. He went out of his way to accommodate my out-of-town schedule, including
