This past year has been nothing short of transformative—both personally and for our physical therapy and sports performance practice.
In December 2022 (close enough to count!), we opened a new physical therapy clinic in McLean, led by our Clinic Director, Dr. Kelly Henry. As we continued to expand our presence in Northern Virginia, Dr. Samuel Kinney joined our team later in the year, further strengthening our ability to make an impact in the community.
November marked another milestone with the relocation of CHP Bethesda to a larger, more advanced facility, under the leadership of Clinic Director, Dr. Sebastian Bellitto. This cutting-edge space not only allowed us to grow our physical therapy offerings but also launched CHP Performance U, directed by Dr. Ethan Lennox. Performance U is our latest initiative, providing small-group sports performance training designed specifically for elite high school athletes aspiring to compete at the collegiate level. You can check out their festive, holiday-themed training session in the video below.
While 2023 was a year of expansion and progress for CHP, it was also a year of personal growth for me. I embraced discomfort and learned the importance of trusting our exceptional team to guide the ship forward.
However, my most valuable lesson from this year wasn’t about growth—it was about reflection.
I’ve often struggled with reflection, constantly focused on what comes next. While forward-thinking is essential, this single-minded focus has sometimes taken a toll on my mental well-being. This year, I made a conscious effort to slow down and reflect.
Looking ahead is crucial, but what’s the point if we don’t pause to appreciate the positive things we’ve accomplished along the way? As I reflect on this past year, I’m filled with gratitude for everything we’ve achieved at CHP and in my personal life. This includes our beloved pup, Reina, who has bravely battled cancer all year and continues to show incredible resilience.
As we step into 2024, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful experiences and accomplishments of 2023.
Here’s to a bright and fulfilling New Year!
Cheers!
