Physical Therapy in Gaithersburg, MD
Get back to running, CrossFit, and the sports you love—without surgery or pain meds. Our doctors of physical therapy deliver 1-on-1 care to identify the root cause of your pain and keep you active for life.
Struggling to Stay Active Because of Pain?
If you're sidelined by injury, told to stop doing what you love, or stuck in a cycle of recurring pain, you're not alone. Traditional physical therapy often falls short—but it doesn't have to be that way.
Recurring Injuries Keep You Stuck
You've tried other PTs, but the pain keeps coming back. You're tired of cookie-cutter exercises that don't address the real problem.
Told to Stop Your Sport
A doctor or therapist told you to quit running, lifting, or training. But giving up what you love isn't the solution—getting to the root cause is.
Frustrated by the Traditional PT Model
Rotating between therapists, assistants, and techs. You're paying for care but not getting the attention or results you deserve.
1-on-1 Physical Therapy That Actually Works
At Alpha Project Phyzio in Gaithersburg, we do things differently. You'll work one-on-one with a doctor of physical therapy for your entire session—no assistants, no rotating therapists. We dig deeper than just your symptoms to find the root cause of your pain, so you can get back to running, CrossFit, weightlifting, or any sport you love.
Our cash-based model means we answer to you, not insurance companies. That means longer sessions, better results, and full transparency—no surprise bills weeks later.
Dedicated 1-on-1 care with a doctor of PT for the full hour
Thorough movement assessments to identify root causes
Personalized rehab and prevention plans tailored to your goals
Ongoing education so you stay pain-free on your own
"Nothing short of miracles worked here. Been running for 25 years, developed hip pain, was convinced I needed surgery if I wanted to continue running. Turns out, I didn't; I just needed Alpha Phyzio! If you're an athlete, if you're sidelined with an injury feeling sorry for yourself, do yourself a favor and visit these guys; you won't regret it."

“I came to Dr. Matt after dealing with metatarsalgia pain for over a year that forced me to stop running completely. After my first visit, I finally felt like I had a plan. The exercises he gave me each week actually made a difference. I can run again and enjoy being active without constantly worrying about pain.”
“After giving birth, I struggled with extreme lower back pain and felt totally out of sync with my body. Signing up for pelvic floor physical therapy changed everything. By session 5, I felt noticeably better—and by session 10, I was 95% healed. This experience was truly life-changing.”
“I was looking for a physio that would not only get me running again but would help me because I keep getting injured. APP&P did detailed analysis of where I was weak and gave me exercises to strengthen those areas. If you’re a runner who keeps getting injured, I recommend booking with these guys. The best physical therapy advice I have received!”

We also accept HSA and FSA accounts. This model allows us to focus 100% on your care without insurance company restrictions—meaning longer sessions, better results, and full price transparency.

Traditional insurance-based clinics often treat 4+ patients at once, but our model gives you undivided attention for the full hour. We focus on finding the root cause of your pain, not just treating symptoms, so you get lasting results. We typically see patients once per week (not 3x/week), saving you time while delivering better outcomes.
