The Jackson Clinics, Physical Therapy 5115 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041

"I’ve had a great experience with Sara at Jackson Clinics in Skyline after full breast reconstruction with DIEP. Sara specializes in breast cancer reconstruction patients, and I feel that her wealth of experience combined with Jackson Clinics’ exercise staff are a winning combination for post-reconstruction patients like me. I would recommend the Skyline office and Sara to anyone who needs a thorough and lasting approach to a full life after breast reconstruction."

"I visited Jackson Clinics for six months to rehab from a stubborn broken ankle and strengthen my core. Raven, my PT, and Leslie and Shasta, my trainers worked to bring me all the way back to running, walking and golfing. Their care was expert and compassionate. And fun! Thank you for everything!"

"I loved my experience at Jackson Clinic, Raven is the absolute best. I came for burning pain in my hip and pain in my glute, then Raven adjusted my exercises to support my changing body in early pregnancy which was very helpful and I will continue to use all the exercises I learned post discharge. The team at Skyline Jackson clinic was such a joy to work with, Raven put me at ease and cheered up my day and I always enjoyed our conversation. Leslie was the athletic trainer I worked with and she was cheerful and quick to help. Michelle at the front desk always had a smile and between all of them we shared a lot of laughter! I would walk out of my PT appointments with a smile on my face every time. Thank you ladies for being such great support, I for sure will be back when I need PT again!"

"The staff at Skyline are fantastic! From my first appointment and overview with Sara, through my last appointment today, I had nothing but a positive experience. Sara listened to what problems I was having after breast cancer surgery and created a program that focused on getting my range and strength back! She and the trainers that worked with me (mostly Beth, and sometimes Lesley) made the time pass quickly while also challenging and making progress. Everyone there took great care of me and made me feel great while doing my workouts! Highly recommend Sara, Beth and Lesley, and the rest of the staff!"

"I was diagnosed with breast cancer more than a year ago, and treatment took a heavy toll on my body and spirit. Towards the end of my treatment I was able to get a referral to physical therapy to repair the damage done by chemo, surgery and radiation. When I walked in to the Jackson Clinics Skyline for my first appointment with Dr. Sara Acheson, I was demoralized, in constant pain, and extremely fatigued. Every time I went in for an appointment with one of my providers, I would cry. So after meeting her, I told her "I'm going to cry when I tell you about my history," and she said it was OK and passed me a box of tissues. After hearing me out, she told me that she was going to help me, and then proceeded to explain exactly how my treatment had affected my body and what we were going to do—together—to fix it. That was the last appointment at which I cried. I've been seeing her twice a week for more than two months now, and my energy is improving, my pain has diminished by 75%, and most importantly, I have a positive attitude about my recovery and my ability to control it. We start each appointment with 20ish minutes of massage on my scar tissue, which helps to alleviate the pain and loosen the tightness caused by radiation. Then I work with a trainer for an hour or so to do stretches and strength training. It's very effective! When I see my cancer treatment providers for follow-up, not only do I not cry, but they all comment on the change in my mood and my outlook. This is 100% due to Dr. Sara and the excellent trainers who work with her—I've had the privilege of working with Beth, Lesley, Danielle and Shasta, and they're all great. I should also add that I drive 25 minutes each way to see them. I haven't considered switching to a closer location because it's worth it."
