About East West Wellness & Rehab

East West Wellness & Rehab was founded by Dr. Katherin Duong, a licensed physical therapist, with a mission to bridge the gaps in our current healthcare system and offer integrative, patient-centered care. Rooted in her upbringing with traditional Chinese medicine and shaped by her clinical expertise in physical therapy, Dr. Duong brings together the best of Eastern and Western practices to expand healing options for her patients. Her approach goes beyond treating the physical body — creating a contemporary healing experience that deepens the connection between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

East West Wellness & Rehab offers physical therapy, cupping therapy, dry needling, personal training, and Reiki services. Every session is one-on-one with our licensed physical therapist, allowing us to understand your specific goals and tailor your wellness + rehab program to fit your lifestyle. Along with the personalized visits, our comprehensive care utilizing holistic modalities and patient-collaborative care helps you achieve amazing results in a shorter period of time.

Our team has worked with people of all ages and varying injuries, getting them long-lasting results. We specialize in cupping therapy, dry needling, and treating back pain, but have extensive experience with return-to-sport athletes, knee pain, ankle sprains, shoulder injuries, headaches, chronic pain conditions, and much more.

Our goal is always to help you move better, feel better, and function better. We are passionate about patient education and empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing process to achieve optimal wellbeing.

Our office is located on Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, VA and is easily accessible to the people of Alexandria, Springfield, Lorton, Kingstowne, Franconia, Burke, Annandale, Fairfax, and Merrifield.

During your rehab, we take the time to listen to your health care needs and provide compassionate, collaborative care towards recovery.

FAQ

Have Questions About Physical Therapy?

  • Do I need a doctor's referral?

    In Virginia, you can see a physical therapist without a doctor’s referral.

    This means you can start your recovery sooner—no delays, no extra steps. Our Doctor of Physical Therapy is highly trained to perform thorough evaluations, identify any red flags, and refer you to the appropriate healthcare provider if needed.

    Take advantage of a free consultation and discover how we can help you move better and feel better—starting today.

  • Do you accept insurances?

    Our goal is to help you move, feel, and function at your best—without limitations.

    We provide high-quality, one-on-one care through a self-pay or out-of-network model, allowing us to focus entirely on you without the restrictions of insurance-based treatment.

    While we do not bill insurance directly, many of our services may be partially or fully reimbursable through your out-of-network physical therapy benefits. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider for details and offer an Insurance Verification Form to guide that process.

    If needed, we’re happy to provide a superbill after each session, which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

  • What are the benefits of self-pay or out-of-network services?

    The benefits of seeking our self-pay/out-of-network services include no surprise medical bills, no visit limitations, no limitations in treatment options, and no insurance authorization delays.

    With most in-network outpatient clinics, physical therapists (PT) double or triple book patients, resulting in the one-on-one time lasting only 15-30 minutes before being passed on to a PTA or rehab aide. With less one-on-one time given to the patient at the traditional outpatient clinics, patients are stuck with going into the clinic for 2-3 visits/week for 6-12 weeks – racking up a lot of time and co-pays.

    However, going self-pay allows East West Wellness & Rehab to be contracted to YOU. Your goals are our priorities. This allows us the freedom to provide personalized, one-on-one care with you (and only you) for the entire hour session. With increased one-on-one time with our licensed PT, we only need to see patients 1 visit/week for an average of 4 weeks. That is 2-8 weeks quicker than your in-network PT clinic! Which in the end, saves you time and money. Best of all, you get to return to your daily activities and sports, pain-free, while trusting that the progress you made will be long-lasting and prevent future injuries.

  • Who do you treat?

    We work with people of all ages and activity levels — from athletes returning to sport, to adults with chronic pain, to older adults needing help with balance or mobility. We also support anyone looking to prevent injuries and build healthier movement habits through holistic physical therapy. Set up a Discovery Visit today to learn how we can help with your goals! 

  • What conditions do you treat?

    At East West Wellness & Rehab, we treat a wide range of conditions, including neck and shoulder pain, low back pain, sciatica, knee injuries, tendonitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, and more. Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury, overuse issue, or chronic pain, we use a combination of Eastern and Western techniques to address the root cause and relieve your symptoms.

    Not sure if we can help? Schedule a free consultation so we can learn more about your pain, your goals, and how it’s impacting your daily activities.

If you did not receive them or have any difficulty accessing the forms, feel free to contact us: [email protected]. We also recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing, having a light meal, and staying well-hydrated prior to your appointment.

  • What payment options are accepted?

    We accept a variety of payment methods, including credit/debit cards, Health Spending Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Apple Pay, and Venmo. 

    Payment will be received at the end of the session.
