Expert Sports Physical Therapy in Gaithersburg, MD
Maryland Physical Therapy Done Differently. At Alpha Project Phyzio & Performance, you get 100% one-on-one time with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — no aides, no handoffs, no insurance cutting your care short. Whether you're a runner chasing a PR, an athlete recovering from injury, or an active adult ready to move without pain, we find the root cause and get you back to doing what you love — for good.
Still Injured After Trying Everything?
Most traditional PT leaves active people frustrated — rushed appointments, generic exercises, and symptoms that keep coming back.
You're Treated Like a Number
In insurance-based clinics, you're shuffled between aides and rushed through 15-minute appointments. Your Doctor of PT barely has time to assess you — let alone create a plan built around your goals.
Symptoms Keep Coming Back
Generic exercises and surface-level treatment mask your pain without ever addressing the root cause. Weeks go by, and you're back to square one — frustrated and no closer to returning to sport.
You're Running Out of Options
You've tried rest, stretching, and maybe even another PT. Nothing has lasted. Surgery or giving up on the activities you love shouldn't be the only options left on the table.

"I was walking with 7 to 8 out of 10 pain all the time. Dr. Silver has got me to a point of little to no pain in 2½ months. I was about to give up on running for good before I was referred to Dr. Silver."

“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!”
