Balance, Care, and Community: A Conversation with Dr. Brittany Elkins of Balance Physical Therapy

At The Alimond Show, we had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Brittany Elkins, founder and owner of Balance Physical Therapy, to celebrate not only her incredible career but also the recent grand opening of her second location in Warrenton, Virginia. With clinics now in both Haymarket and Warrenton, Dr. Elkins and her team are expanding their reach to serve more people in Northern Virginia with compassionate, personalized care.

Dr. Elkins shared how her journey began with an “aha moment”—walking into her first physical therapy clinic as a rehab technician and realizing that this was more than a profession. It was a calling. Since then, she has built a thriving practice rooted in Southern hospitality, authenticity, and genuine care, ensuring every patient feels welcome, supported, and seen.

One of the most striking elements of Balance Physical Therapy’s culture is its emphasis on time and connection. Unlike larger clinics where patients often spend much of their visit with techs, Balance ensures that every patient works directly with a licensed therapist. This philosophy not only leads to better outcomes but creates a space where patients feel cared for during some of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives.

Throughout our conversation, Dr. Elkins highlighted several areas of specialty within her practice:

• Parkinson’s Disease & LSVT-BIG Certification – With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Elkins has seen targeted therapy transform mobility, confidence, and independence for countless patients living with Parkinson’s.
• Advanced Dry Needling – Nicknamed “The Happy Harpooner” by her patients, Dr. Elkins explained how dry needling creates real cellular changes to relieve pain, restore motion, and provide lasting results—without the side effects of medication.
• Comprehensive Care for All Ages – From young athletes recovering from sports injuries to seniors working to prevent falls, Balance Physical Therapy thrives on diversity in patient care.

Beyond the clinic, Dr. Elkins is passionate about community education—from leading fall prevention workshops to speaking at senior summits, she works tirelessly to empower people with knowledge and confidence about their health.

With multiple Best of awards, a thriving team culture, and an unwavering passion for helping people “live their best life,” Balance Physical Therapy is more than just a clinic—it’s a place of healing, hope, and transformation.
