Meet Dr. Grace · Leesburg & Loudoun County

One therapist. The full picture.

You've likely seen other providers who couldn't give you the answers or results you needed. That changes here. Every session is 100% one-on-one with me, and I adapt your care in real time based on how your body responds, not based on a protocol or insurance schedule.

About the Practice

A practice built on credentials few hold.

You will receive a lymphatic evaluation, musculoskeletal assessment, targeted treatment and management, and clinician-guided instruction and return demonstration of self-MLD, and therapeutic exercises.

This is what my dual credentials make possible: integrated care that would otherwise require coordinating two or three separate providers. It is why my patients see results faster, and why those results last.

Specialties · Northern Virginia

Clinical specialties.

Each specialty draws on specific clinical credentials and over 20 years of hands-on experience. This is where expertise translates into measurable patient outcomes.
01 / LYMPHATIC DPT + CLT

Lymphedema Therapy

Certified lymphedema therapy for upper and lower extremity. Complete decongestive therapy guided by doctoral-level clinical reasoning.

Why DPT + CLT matters I identify musculoskeletal contributors that a CLT-only therapist would miss, treating the whole system rather than just the swelling.
  • Clinically-Guided Manual Lymphatic Drainage: Evidence-based treatment that activates and facilitates lymphatic drainage
  • Complete Decongestive Therapy
  • Compression pump garments guidance
  • Therapeutic exercise dosage that activates lymphatic system while minimizing inflammatory triggers
View Details
02 / LYMPHATIC DPT + CLT

Lipedema & Chronic Inflammation

Specialized management for lipedema, menopause-related swelling, and chronic inflammatory conditions. These are often misdiagnosed, and only a few providers in Loudoun County have the dual credentials to treat them properly.

Why DPT + CLT matters I see lipedema misdiagnosed as obesity far too often. My dual training means I can provide accurate assessment along with a plan that addresses the movement limitations it creates.
  • Lipedema Assessment & Staging
  • Menopause Lymphatic Management
  • Anti-Inflammatory Movement Programs
  • Compression & Skin Care Protocols
View Details
03 / PERFORMANCE DPT + TGFI

Golf Performance Optimization

My Titleist-certified assessment identifies exactly what is limiting your swing, mobility, and power, then I systematically resolve it with clinical precision.

Why DPT matters A golf trainer sees movement. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I see the clinical root cause behind limited rotation and power loss, and I treat it directly.
  • Video Golf Swing Analysis
  • TPI 16-Point Movement Screen
  • Clinical Physical Evaluation
  • Custom Treatment & Fitness Program
View Details
04 / MOBILITY DPT + CMTPT/DN

Peak Performance & Mobility

Comprehensive movement optimization for active individuals. Advanced manual therapy, dry needling, and precise joint work.

Why DPT matters Certified dry needling and trigger point therapy require doctoral-level anatomy knowledge. I target the precise tissues causing your restriction, and I do it safely.
  • Dry Needling & Trigger Point Release
  • Therapeutic Cupping
  • Spine & Joint Mobilization
  • Clinical Kinesiotaping
View Details
05 / EXECUTIVE DPT + COMT

Executive Performance Rx

Elite physical therapy for high-achieving professionals. Your body is your most valuable business asset. I treat it with the same precision you apply to everything else.

Why DPT matters Executive burnout manifests physically: chronic tension, postural dysfunction, stress-related pain. I provide clinical diagnosis, not symptom management.
  • Executive Physical Assessment
  • Stress-Related Pain Resolution
  • Postural & Ergonomic Optimization
  • 60-90 Minute Dedicated Sessions
View Details
06 / RECOVERY DPT + CLT

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Accelerated surgical recovery with integrated lymphatic management. Cosmetic, plastic, reconstructive, and orthopedic surgery support.

Why DPT + CLT matters Post-surgical swelling is the #1 barrier to recovery. I coordinate both the rehabilitation and the lymphatic drainage simultaneously, so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Joint Replacement & Orthopedic Surgery
  • Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Recovery
  • Reconstructive Surgery Support
  • Mastectomy and Reconstruction Care
  • Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
  • Accelerated Recovery Protocols

Specialized care is for you if…

Level Up isn't for everyone. Honest clarity up front saves both of us time.
This Is For You
  • You have lymphedema or lipedema and your current provider does not hold CLT certification
  • You are recovering from surgery and tired of seeing a different therapist every visit
  • Your golf game is limited by pain or restricted movement that stretching alone cannot fix
  • You have chronic swelling related to menopause and want a specialist who understands why
  • You need a therapist who can treat both the musculoskeletal and lymphatic aspects of your condition
  • You want one provider managing your full recovery instead of coordinating between two or three
This May Not Be For You
  • You prefer treatment in a traditional insurance-based clinic setting
  • You're seeking the lowest-cost option regardless of visit structure
  • You're comfortable with rotating staff and shared attention
  • You prefer shorter appointments or shared treatment environments
  • You're not ready to commit to a collaborative recovery process

We are an out-of-network provider, which allows us to deliver care without insurance-driven limitations. Payment is made at time of service via credit card, HSA/FSA, or Venmo. I provide a detailed Superbill, and many of my clients receive 50 to 80% reimbursement from their insurance.

Many CLTs come from massage therapy or nursing backgrounds. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy who is also a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, Dr. Grace brings doctoral-level clinical reasoning to every lymphatic case. She assesses musculoskeletal contributors, prescribes targeted exercises, performs manual therapy, and manages your lymphatic condition holistically. Only 5 practitioners in Loudoun County hold both credentials.

Insurance-based PT comes with limitations: restricted visit numbers, required authorizations, and protocols that prioritize cost over outcomes. Out-of-network lets me focus 100% on YOUR needs. Most clients find they need fewer total visits and get better results, often making it comparable or less expensive than insurance PT with co-pays.

No. Virginia law permits direct access to physical therapy. You can begin care immediately without waiting for a referral. Most new clients are seen within 48 hours of their consultation.

All of Loudoun County (Leesburg, Ashburn, Sterling, South Riding, Purcellville, Aldie, Hamilton, Lovetsville, Lucketts), Fairfax County (Reston, Great Falls, McLean, Tysons, Vienna, Chantilly), Arlington County, plus surrounding Maryland, DC, West Virginia, Winchester, and Manassas communities. Flexible location options including office, country club, or your preferred location.

Standard PT often treats multiple patients at once with rotating staff. When you work with me, you get 100% one-on-one care, real-time adjustments, and treatment at your preferred location. My patients typically see results 3 to 4 times faster than with standard approaches.
