Virginia Sportsmedicine Institute: Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy in Northern Virginia

Where advanced rehabilitation, orthopedic expertise, and personalized patient care come together.

Virginia Sportsmedicine Institute (VSI) is a leading sports medicine, physical and occupational therapy practice serving Northern Virginia, providing comprehensive rehabilitation for orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, post-operative recovery, and movement-related conditions. With locations in Arlington, Tysons/Vienna, and McLean, our experienced team works with everyone from professional athletes to active adults and patients simply looking to get back to the activities they love.

As part of the Nirschl Orthopaedic Center (NOC) family, VSI offers patients a seamless continuum of orthopedic care, from diagnosis and treatment through rehabilitation and recovery. Our close collaboration with NOC’s orthopedic surgeons and medical team allows patients to receive coordinated, expert care throughout their entire recovery journey, all within one trusted orthopedic network. From the first appointment to the final phase of rehabilitation, our goal is clear: get you moving, performing, and living without limits.

Our team includes highly trained physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), physical therapist assistants (PTAs), and certified specialists with extensive clinical experience. Our clinicians hold doctoral and advanced degrees and are committed to ongoing education, evidence-based practice, and the latest advances in rehabilitation. VSI is also home to a Board-Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) and therapists certified in trigger point dry needling, allowing us to provide specialized treatment for a broad range of orthopedic and sports-related conditions.

We take a personalized, hands-on approach to rehabilitation. Rather than simply treating an injury, our therapists work to understand how that injury affects your movement, strength, performance, and everyday life. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual patient, with a focus on restoring mobility, building strength, improving function, preventing reinjury, and helping you confidently return to the activities that matter most.

With more than 50 years of experience in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation, VSI has built a reputation for clinical expertise, compassionate care, and exceptional patient outcomes. Our therapists bring decades of combined experience to every patient while continuing to embrace new techniques, technology, and evidence-based approaches to rehabilitation.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a sports injury, dealing with chronic pain, or working to improve strength and performance, Virginia Sportsmedicine Institute is here to help you move forward.

Experience matters. Let ours work for you.
