Practitioner Profile

Dr. Rick Mead, DPT

I have been practicing Physical Therapy since 1987, when I graduated from the University of Maryland at Baltimore School of Physical Therapy. I then graduated from Sargents School of Rehabilitation Sciences at Boston University in 2007 with a doctor of physical therapy degree. I am certified to practice PT in Maryland and Virginia. My experience ranges from aggressive sports medicine to very gentle manual techniques to aid all types of joint conditions. I am fond of saying that I treat all types of athletes from eight to eighty with conditions ranging from growth related tendonitis in adolescents to arthritic knees in the older populations.

More recently, I have become proficient in treatment of myofascial pain, better known as sore muscles that can cause low back, neck and headache pain, to name a few. The procedures to treat this condition include acupressure, dry needling with acupuncture needles, exercise, and modalities. I have received great satisfaction out of the relief that my patients have attained from this treatment.

I have placed my heart and soul into my practice of Physical Therapy and I invite you to call me or just stop by and we can discuss how I can help you.
