Sports Chiropractic care is a hands on form of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of any soft tissue or joint injury, whether in the spine or in an extremity. Care is delivered through movement based soft tissue massage therapy, called Active Release Therapy (ART), joint mobilization and chiropractic adjustments, targeting stubborn areas with Dry Needling. Our therapy is focused on returning joint range of motion and health to the injury site as soon as possible. What makes us perfect providers for this specific community of athletes is that we are athletes ourselves, so we are very passionate about not only treating our athletes efficiently but getting you back on track as soon as possible.
Dr. Kathy Coutinho is an ART certified chiropractor who has been treating athletes in the Northern VA area for over 20 years. She herself has competed in XTERRA off road triathlon at the World Championship level for over a decade, finally winning a World Championship title in Maui in 2010. Thus “injury” is not a foreign experience for Dr. Kathy lending her a unique insight to the soft tissue and joint trauma that presents in her office. All the providers of Posichiro sponsor and volunteer at the local EX2 adventure races (trail running, mountain biking, triathlon), giving on-site care to the athletes at each race. Dr. Kathy is a devoted basketball coach for her 2 daughters and consequently is both Coach Kathy and Dr. Kathy for her players!
All Posichiro providers treat many types and levels of athletes, whether you are an ultra runner, beginner mountain biker, or an AAU basketball player. We welcome our community of ATHLETES to our office for excellent sports injury targeted care.
