We're so glad we got to meet her and show her around Active!

Thanks to everyone who entered our giveaway with . We loved seeing what keeps you moving!

This review is worth a second to read. 👏

Justin put into words exactly what we hope every patient experiences at Active. From helping him through an injury just three weeks before his Ironman 70.3 to checking in outside of office hours and encouraging him along the way, Dr. Tricia went above and beyond to help him get across that finish line.

It's not just about the treatment. It's about having someone in your corner who knows what you're working toward and genuinely cares about getting you there.

Thank you for trusting us, Justin!

Congratulations to Kayla and her team for winning the Central VA Soccer Association Women’s Championship! ⚽

They finished the season undefeated and won the championship match 8 to 1 after trailing 1 to 0 for much of the first half. This victory earned them their fourth consecutive championship.

As one of the toughest goalkeepers I have ever had the opportunity to work with, Kayla conceded only 11 goals all season despite battling through a few injuries.

I am incredibly proud of Kayla for her perseverance, resilience, and honesty throughout the season. She continued working with our team through her injuries and remained committed to improving both on and off the field.

I am excited to see her continued accomplishments and everything she achieves in the future! 👏

Happy ! Meet Martha! 💪

At 75 years old, Martha decided to try strength training for the very first time after dealing with debilitating sciatica that was keeping her from enjoying her day-to-day life.

After Dr. Green referred her to Deemah, they started working on strength, mobility, core stability, and building up her posterior chain. Three months later, her sciatica was completely gone and it hasn't come back.

Now, a year and a half later, Martha has built muscle, improved her posture, gotten stronger, and continues to show up with the same positive attitude she had from day one.

And it isn't just about the gym. Martha rides her horse, Norman, and getting stronger has helped her ride better and take care of him the way he needs. 🐴

Martha, you are such an inspiration to our whole team. We are so proud of you and all the work you've put in!

Congratulations to Whitney Richman for winning her 3rd Jarmans Invitational Marathon in the women’s devision!

Not only did she win place 1st out of all the women for 3rd year in a row, but she was the first PERSON to win first EVER, let alone in a row!

To better understand this accomplishment the race is 29 miles with 7610ft of elevation, and starts at 12pm in August! Their tag line is literally: "Everything sucks about this race"

Whitney comes to see us when she needs us. Usually it’s after she runs an insane number of miles without breaking a sweat. This time it was due to weakness in her hip just a few weeks before the race. After working with her for a few visits she was feeling good and was able to complete this insane race symptom free!

She is also an incredible ultramarathon coach for anyone looking to take their running to the next level. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Charlie is more than just a chiropractor. 💪

At Active, he takes a hands-on approach that combines chiropractic care, soft tissue work, dry needling, rehab, and exercise to help patients move better and get back to doing what they love.

And he practices what he preaches. Charlie competes in local strongman competitions, loves mountain biking and hiking, and even volunteers as a wrestling coach with the Midlothian Miners Wrestling Club.

That experience matters. He understands that getting out of pain is only part of the goal. We want to help you build a body that can handle real life, whether that's lifting, training, working, parenting, competing, or just staying active.

Clinical knowledge, strength experience, and a genuine passion for helping people move better.Just another reason we're proud to have Charlie on the Active team!

Tricia is not your average physical therapist! 💪✨

After having three kids and staying highly active herself, Tricia saw firsthand how little support active women often receive during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. So she decided to do something about it.

While pregnant with her third child, she became certified as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist. She later became a Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism Coach so she could provide even better care for pregnant and postpartum athletes.

Tricia understands that active women do not just want to “take it easy” forever. They want to run, lift, train, compete, parent, and feel strong in their bodies again without guessing what is safe or being told to simply wait it out.

She also brings a background as a certified personal trainer, which helps her bridge the gap between rehab and performance for highly active patients.

Outside of work, Tricia has been a lifelong runner, has completed 10+ marathons, including Boston several times, and recently made the switch to trail ultramarathons, finishing as first female in a 50-miler last spring! 👏

She is also a huge fan of HIIT workouts, garage training, and what most people would consider an unreasonable number of daily pushups and pull-ups.

Clinical expertise. Real-life experience. Serious athletic credibility. Just another incredible member of the team you get here at Active.

Come meet Tricia and and the rest of the team at our Open House on August 15 from 9 AM–12 PM or call 804.378.6035 to book your appointment today!
