I can't say enough great things about James Clarke Physical Therapy.. When I first saw Jim, I was totally misdiagnosed and in a lot of pain. That pain had lasted 3.5 years. I thought I would never sit comfortably again or enjoy running. He viewed my issue as a problem to be solved and worked with me to brainstorm solutions. He looked at his involvement as one part of a plan to get me back to 100%. He wasn't looking to keep me a patient as long as possible, but rather to get me well. He did and I am so grateful. I've seen a lot of physical therapists, and he is head and shoulders above the rest.

I have visited the office for several months after a major shoulder surgery. I would not go anywhere else. The team is professional, friendly, and attentive to any need. They helped me get better faster. I definitely recommend this place. When my daughter needed help with her knee, I have sent her there as well.

I was only there twice and he helped so much that I requested going three times a week. He is amazing, I highly recommend him.

I've been visiting Jim Clarke PT for various injuries over the past decade and they are fantastic. Jim REALLY knows his stuff. Office manager Trish is great as well. They've helped me for everything from a pulled hamstring to motorcycle crash recovery. I would never go to any other PT.

James did a good job aleviating pain in my shoulder over the course of about 8 sessions. He did it in a way that I would not have expected, by increasing flexibility. This avoided the need for surgery, a big win. James and his team are friendly and timely.

I highly recommend James Clarke Physical Therapy. Jim is a highly skilled, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful physical therapist who carefully tailors therapy to meet your individual needs. I fell on the ice on my shoulder last winter and was told by my doctor it would take at least a year to heal. After three months working with Jim and his excellent team, I have recovered full movement and greatly reduced the pain. His staff are all friendly and professional, and it was very easy to make appointments. Over the years, I have previously seen him for foot, elbow and back problems, and I was always pleased with the results. He has offices in Rockville and Damascus with free parking.

I was referred to James Clarke after 2 1/2 months after back surgery, I couldn't sit, stand or walk for just a few minutes, I was using a walker, after 2 months of physical therapy, I'm not even using a cane. I would definitely recommend them, they have done wonders for me.

Wonderful physical therapist. The only one EVER who worked on my gait to make me walk straighter( and stop swinging side by side.) He stretched my legs easily and gently which helped relax my muscles and made it easier to walk(less strain compensating.) I was in a lot of pain because of nerve Damage and they easily and gently worked with me getting the healing done without killing me. Also they have a hand expert that really helped my carpel tunnel and sprained wrist. Highly recommend. Parking is close. They handle all insurance needs.( Thank God!)

I have had lower back pain for awhile. After my second round of shots, this past year, I went for physical therapy with Jim Clarke. I found RELIEF!!Then, unbelievably, I did something to my upper back. I was told by the hospital, after x-rays, that I pulled a muscle. My pain was excruciating. The hospital and my doctor prescribed rest and a ton of pain pills, muscle relaxers - you name it.I went back to Jim. He said that it might be coming from my neck. He had the therapist (with the "magic hands") rub my back starting from the neck down. OMG - it worked- completely.I can't say enough about how good it feels to go to James Clarke's PT office. Everyone is sooooo nice and caring. Easy to get an appointment that fits your schedule. But, most importantly, you really feel like you will get better. They know their business. They will help you until you are well.Big, Huge, Kudos from me - a very satisfied patient! Sarah E.

I am forever grateful to Jim Clarke and his associates for helping me through a loooooooong foot/leg injury (2.5 years) and helping me arrive on the "other side." I had seen many specialists and was losing hope that I would be okay, having basically gotten dismissed when my symptoms did not abate. My injury was atypical in that it did not show up clearly on the MRI and had multiple parts. Jim listened, worked on my foot and leg with expertise, and helped talk me through it each time I would get down and sad about my limited activity. He looked at my injury from a holistic perspective, suggesting dietary changes that could help, etc. His knowledge, kindness, and skill are rare, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Starting coming here in December 2019 for sciatic pain which they were doing a wonderful job helping treat. My pain worsened after a few weeks and my PCP had me see an Ortho whose nonchalance and lack of care about my very serious symptoms were infuriating to deal with. I was experiencing debilitating pain that was so terrible, it led me to take time from work. He wasn't interested in doing imaging past an xray (which clearly wouldnt show any disc issues) and suggest I continue PT although I had already been doing so for a month and my symptoms were going on 4 months at this point. I spoke to Jim about this situation and he gave me a list of 3 neurosurgeons he personally would use for surgery. Within a few minutes of speaking with the neursurgeon I chose, he looked at my images and diagnosed me with having a RUPTURED lumbar disc, which explains everything. I am now scheduled for a discectomy in a week and have never been so excited to go under the knife. If it was for James Clarke taking a proactive interest in figuring out the source of my pain and his guidance, this situation could have taken a much worse turn. Him and his staff are excellent and there is no other place I would recommend in this area for PT.

Honestly I did not feel like they were trying to treat my problem I was facing and telling me stretching was my focus and living a healthy life but it seemed they were making me more dependent on their services to be charged for and not hit the target of my pain. My exercises were nothing but going on the bike and arm bike which I understand for a warm up but when it is my only exercise it becomes suspicious of is improvement being made. I didn’t feel welcomed, that my concerns were not heard and an evaluation of my body wasn’t done to the best ability. Seeing another physical therapist now and I actually understand and know ways I can reduce my pain and learning at the same time. Not to bash him but did not feel I got the best personal treatment I deserved as a patient educated on the body and physical therapy as well but this is just from my experience.
