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.

I originally began seeing Dr Kathy at this practice, but since then I have seen at least three other practitioners Dr, Yen, Ashley, And Deonte. They are all wonderful people, and I … More am always impressed. I recently booked an appointment with Deonte for the first time and he was absolutely amazing.
He worked out some of the deep tissue pain and numbness in my hands that I’ve been dealing with for months. Also shout out to the lovely receptionist team who are always so sweet and considerate. I’m so lucky to have a place like this near me -
I'm so glad I found Positive Chiropractic and its acupuncture team. Dr. Yen Truong is not only a highly skilled acupuncturist, but also a practitioner who genuinely cares about … More you as a whole person, incorporating meditation techniques and offering suggestions on lifestyle and mindset. Dr. Bao-Tich Nguyen is kind, attentive, and highly effective in his treatments. The front desk staff are always warm and welcoming. Both the services and the vibes here are incredibly positive––true to the name!

I can’t recommend the Positively Chiropractic clinic highly enough. From the moment I first walked through the door, I was struck by how professional, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic … More the entire staff is. The clinic itself has a calm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease — something I appreciated even more because I was in pretty rough shape at the time.
After a back injury left me struggling with daily activities, I was honestly unsure if I'd ever feel “normal” again. But from my very first appointment, Dr. Kathy took the time to clearly explain my treatment plan, making sure I understood each step and how it would help me heal. Her communication, care, and encouragement made all the difference.
Thanks to Dr. Kathy and her team's expertise and dedication, I’ve gone from barely managing the basics to fully getting my life back. Today, I’m back to doing all the activities I love — something I wasn’t sure would ever be possible again. I’m incredibly grateful for the results and for the amazing people at Posi Chiro who helped make them happen. If you’re looking for exceptional chiropractic care, Posi Chiro is truly outstanding. -
I have been going to Positively Chiropractic for two years now. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Yen for acupuncture as she is thorough, kind, professional, and genuinely cares about how you … More are doing and feeling! I leave her appointments feeling relaxed and overall better.

I lived with chronic back and leg pain for more than 20 years before being referred to Dr. Kathy and her team at Positively Chiropractic. Within just a few months of care, the pain … More that had followed me for decades was gone, and now I only need occasional monthly visits for maintenance.
Dr. Kathy and her staff are both highly professional and genuinely kind. You never feel rushed, and it is clear they care about long-term results, not quick fixes.
My only regret is not finding them sooner. If you are dealing with pain and wondering whether chiropractic care can really help, do yourself a favor and give Positively Chiropractic a try. You will be glad you did! -
I have been using Positively Chiropractic for a long time and they have helped me through a variety of issues including back pain, hip pain, headaches and recovery from various surgeries … More and leukemia. Dr. Kathy has a great team and I have had many adjustments from her and Dr. Anna. Dr. Yen does an amazing job with acupuncture and cupping to help address a lot of issues. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful and are a delight to work with.

I saw Deonte for a massage. I’ve gone to him for years and he’s brilliant. He is efficient, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable of all soft tissue modalities. He’s great with cupping, … More Graston, and mobilizing my joints!! I couldn’t be happier with my visit to see him yesterday and will be back without a doubt!!!

Dr. Kathy and her team are an awesome patient-focused practice for holistic body-movement health. I see her practitioners for chiropractic, tissue work, and when necessary, pain reduction … More to improve day-to-day function and movement.
