About DCPT
Your partners in recovery
District Physical Therapy (DCPT) is an independent, clinician-owned practice serving Capitol Hill, Bethesda, and in-home patients across the DMV. Every visit is one-on-one with a doctorate-level physical therapist — no aides, no double-booking, no shuffling between providers.
Our Story
Building a better approach to healing
Our Mission
To help patients in DC, Maryland, and Virginia recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, and return to the activities they love — through evidence-based, hands-on physical therapy delivered one-on-one by doctorate-level clinicians.
Our Story
DCPT was founded by David Kenney, PT, DPT — a Doctor of Physical Therapy who set out to build a practice where every patient gets the full hour with their PT. No aides handing off exercises, no rushed 15-minute visits between three other patients, no surprise bills.
What started as a single Capitol Hill clinic has grown into three care settings: our flagship Capitol Hill location (1301 Pennsylvania Ave SE), our Bethesda clinic (6931 Arlington Rd), and a dedicated In-Home program serving DC, Maryland, and Virginia. The model is the same at every visit: one PT, one patient, one full hour.
Why We're Different
We're independent and clinician-owned, which means decisions about your care are made by the PT treating you, not by a corporate parent optimizing for visit volume. Our team is doctorate-trained, trained in manual therapy and dry needling, and works directly with your surgeon or physician when coordination matters. Most insurance accepted, no referral needed in DC, MD, or VA.
