Hip Pain Is Keeping You Out of the Game
Chronic hip pain doesn’t just hurt — it chips away at your training, your confidence, and your quality of life. If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to get the right help.
Generic Care, Zero Progress
Cookie-cutter treatment plans and rushed appointments leave you cycling through the same pain without real answers or lasting relief.
Injuries That Keep Coming Back
Without identifying the root cause — whether it’s hip impingement, a labral tear, or a movement pattern issue — you’re stuck in a frustrating cycle of flare-ups.
Missing What Matters Most
Every missed workout, race, or game day is more than lost time. It’s your performance, your goals, and your livelihood slipping further away.

Real patients. Real results. See what DC is saying.
“It’s no exaggeration to say Ashley and the PHYT Collective changed my life. A former DI track athlete, I spent the decade post-graduation in debilitating Achilles pain, dropping tens of thousands of dollars seeing every specialist across DC. Every member of the PHYT Collective is of the teach-a-man-to-fish variety, digging into the root issue and educating the patient on why an injury occurs and how it’s connected to the greater body. Ashley and her team have a genuine hunger for solving seemingly unsolvable problems.”

“Finding this place was a Godsend! I’ve worked with three different therapists, on three different issues, and they have all been first-class! They fixed my hip, beyond fixing it they told me why I was having hip issues and how to fix habitual movement patterns that were causing the issue. I have been going to physical therapy for 25 years and this is hand down the best I have ever been treated.”
Chris P.
“PHYT Collective truly changed my recovery journey. After an accident that significantly damaged the left side of my body, I was honestly unsure how quickly—or fully—I’d be able to heal. Working with Dr. Ashley was an absolute godsend. She didn’t just treat symptoms—she understood my body, adjusted in real time, and pushed me forward with care, confidence, and precision. Thanks to her expertise, my recovery was far speedier than I ever expected.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit to our Washington, DC hip pain physical therapy clinic.
Do you accept insurance?
The PHYT Collective is a cash-based practice. We partner with a billing specialist who can submit claims directly to your insurance on your behalf — so you get the benefit of potential reimbursement without the paperwork hassle. This model also means your care is never dictated by what insurance will or won’t approve.
How long are sessions, and will I always see the same provider?
Every session is a full hour of one-on-one time with your dedicated provider — no double-booking, no hand-offs to an aide. You’ll work with the same physical therapist throughout your plan of care for consistent, continuity-driven treatment.
Do I need a referral to start hip pain physical therapy in Washington, DC?
In most cases, no. DC allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can schedule an evaluation without a physician referral. If your specific situation requires one, our team will help guide you through the process.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit is a comprehensive one-on-one evaluation. Your physical therapist will take a detailed history, assess your movement, identify the root cause of your hip pain, and work with you to set meaningful goals. You’ll leave with a clear plan and a path forward.
What types of hip conditions do you treat?
We treat the full spectrum of hip-related conditions, including hip impingement (FAI), labral tears, groin pain, hamstring strains, hip bursitis, post-surgical hip rehabilitation, and general hip pain from overuse or injury. Our team uses evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, dry needling, corrective exercise, and advanced movement assessment.
How is The PHYT Collective different from other PT clinics near me?
We specialize in the intersection of rehabilitation and performance. Our team collectively has over 50 years of experience, and every session is designed around your individual goals — not a generic protocol.
