Perform Better. Recover Fully.

Orthopedic & Sports Rehabilitation

Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing recurring pain, or looking to optimize performance, treatment should address more than the painful area alone.

I evaluate how the entire body moves and functions to identify the underlying contributors to pain, mobility restrictions, and performance limitations.

Using Functional Manual Therapy® and individualized exercise, we work together to improve movement efficiency, build resilience, and help you move with confidence.

Who This Is For:

  • Athletes, active adults, weekend warriors, and anyone who wants to move with less pain and greater confidence.

  • Serving patients throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and surrounding communities.

What People Are Saying

  • Pain Level From 7 to 1 in One Session

    "Today started off rough and [it] was a struggle to get to PT. I not only called since I was late but she immediately could tell something was wrong. Pain levels were high - highest was a 7 - but she took her time with me and I'm happy I came in today. My levels are 1's and she gave me the tools to stay there.

    Her patience, guidance, education! She makes me feel how important I am to her. We identify the problems and she talks me through every single step. She is so amazing. I'm forever thankful for her."

    "She is amazing. When I came to her—severe pain, depressed & ready to end it all. Prayed with a friend [and] you were there. I owe you a lot.

    She is wonderful. Changed my life & well being.

    Thanks. God Bless You."

  • I'm Happy!

    "Jaifi's knowledge of anatomy, physiology, & biomechanics provided the basis of our treatment plan... Enthusiasm, empathy, knowledge, explaining body mechanics through analogies, hands-on manipulation.

    I've had chronic hip pain for several years... After 2 years of steroid injections, prednisone, lidocaine patches, heat patches, I can now walk without aids or pain 2-3 miles/day - ~25 miles/week.

    I'm happy!"

    -FH

  • Treating Me With Dignity

    "From the very beginning her first assessment was thorough and on point. She listened intently and learned about my story guiding me through the first session as she began treating me as a person and a patient with dignity... I never felt like a number as she truly loves what she does and gives of her time and talent and expertise every single session.

    As a health care professional in my own career, I am in awe of her caring spirit and joy for life."

    -SB

  • Move Like Never Before

    "When I came here I had a hard time standing without assistance. Today after PT I was able to get up without assist & move like NEVER before. I feel great and she is wonderful! I am amazed how fast this has happened."

What Sets This Approach Apart

Pain is rarely caused by a single area working in isolation. A one-on-one, hands-on approach makes it possible to assess how your entire body moves together, so we can identify and address the factors contributing to pain, compensation patterns, and performance limitations.

Your Questions, Answered

Not seeing the answer here? Feel free to send me a message.

  • Yes. Recurring pain often means something in the movement system is not functioning efficiently. Treatment focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but also on improving how the body moves and distributes load so the problem is less likely to return.

  • No. I work with active adults of all ages and activity levels—from recreational exercisers to competitive athletes.

  • Usually, yes. In many cases, activity can be modified rather than completely stopped. My goal is to keep you moving safely while addressing the underlying issue.

  • Many patients come to me after symptoms continue despite previous treatment. Persistent issues often require a more individualized, whole-body approach and ongoing reassessment.

  • Absolutely not. Treatment combines hands-on manual therapy with movement retraining, mobility work, strength, and education to help create lasting change.
