Your next posture is your best posture
Dr. Strait is a Virginia licensed physical therapist and the owner of Strait Posture Therapy, where she combines her 25 years of academic and clinical expertise with a passion for helping patients regain their strength, mobility, and confidence. Her approach to care is grounded in personalized, hands-on therapy that focuses not only on treating pain, but also on preventative care. Dr. Strait believes that true healing comes from understanding the root cause of the clinical condition and addressing the physical and psychological barriers.
Her personal experience as a patient has profoundly shaped her perspective. After undergoing two cervical spine surgeries, Dr. Strait faced the challenges of recovery first hand. This experience gave her a deep empathy for those in pain and reinforces her commitment to evidence-based compassionate care. She understands the frustration of limitations, the patience required during rehabilitation, and the gratification of achieving milestones – lessons she brings into every patient interaction.
Beyond her clinical skills, Dr. Strait finds joy in celebrating patient progress and fostering resilience. She strives to create a practice environment where patients feel supported, encouraged, and motivated.
