BON SECOURS WASHINGTON REDSKINS TRAINING CENTER - What's Next?
You watched and cheered as your favorite NFL team came to town, practiced in front of tens of thousands of fans, and then headed back to Washington D.C. to begin their season. Now what? You guessed it...Bon Secours Physical Therapy and Sports Performance is moving in! Expected to open and begin treating patients and serving our athletes by the end of September, our third clinic promises to impress with state-of-the art equipment and new and expanded services.
Physical Therapy and Sports Performance Clinic
With 8,000 square feet of state-of-the art equipment, compassionate and knowledgeable staff, new and fabulous services, Bon Secours Physical Therapy and Sports Performance will open its third clinic next month. Conveniently located at the corner of Leigh Street and DMV Drive, our newest site (other locations at Patterson Avenue and St. Francis Watkins Centre) will expand our services to include, not only physical therapy, but also the addition of sports performance programs.
Training Camp - That's a Wrap
More than 165,000 fans, from as far as Hawaii and Idaho, and even a couple who spent part of the their honeymoon at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center enjoyed watching the Washington Redskins practice and prepare for the 2013-14 football season.

 Members of Bon Secours Physical Therapy and the Orthopaedic Institute Give Back
Congratulations and thank you to Lori Strobl, Jamie Gordon, Princess Smith and Lauren McDevitt with Bon Secours Physical Therapy and Bon Secours Orthopaedic Institute. These ladies spent a week volunteering their time to the iCan Bike programs, giving an opportunity to young individuals with disabilities to learn to independently ride a bicycle.

"The week that we were able to work with Garret was very rewarding and enriching. We got to see him grow exponentially in not only his physical abilities, but also in his confidence and self-assuredness. He was so excited when he was riding his own bike by himself with all of us watching. I can't wait to volunteer again next year." - Lori Strobl, Watkins Centre Physical Therapist and Clinical Coordinator |
