Anna joined Bodies in Motion Physical Therapy's Falls Church Clinic in 2015, where she has developed a strong patient among the Falls Church and Arlington communites. 

She received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Marymount University in 2009. She also holds a master’s degree in teaching English and a degree in human resources. Anna is a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT), she holds certification in Kinesio Taping (CKTP), and is experienced in dry needling.

Anna believes in treating patients with a manual therapy approach, combined with exercises to support these specialized techniques. She only uses evidence-based approaches in treating her patients, with a focus on treating the patient “as a whole” by assessing posture, body dynamics, movement patterns and analyzing impairments. Anna treats a wide variety of patient diagnoses, but particularly enjoys working with patients with shoulder and neck dysfunction, hip dysfunction, and knee functional instability, as evidenced by weakness and pain in the lower extremities.

Anna plays a role as a clinical instructor for physical therapy interns, and has served as clinical instructor to numerous potential and future physical therapists.

In her free time Anna enjoys walking, hiking, kayaking and travelling with her husband.
