From Football Injuries to Cycling Rehab: Meet Dr. Dylan Clark, a Falls Church Physical Therapist

Dr. Dylan Clark a physical therapist who treats cyclists

At Advantage Physical Therapy in Falls Church, VA, we’re proud to have a team of passionate therapists who bring both expertise and personal experience to patient care. One of them is Dr. Dylan Clark, a physical therapist who understands firsthand how injuries can affect daily life—and how the right care can restore strength, mobility, and confidence.

Why Choose Physical Therapy?

Dylan’s path to becoming a physical therapist started close to home. His mother faced a serious injury that made it so walking was very difficult. With determination and rehab, she regained her independence, which left a lasting impression on Dylan. Dylan has also personally experienced the importance of physical therapy, after suffering his own lumbar stress fracture playing football. These moments inspired him to help others overcome pain and return to the activities they love.

Specialties and Favorite Patients to Treat

Dylan enjoys working with a variety of patients, but his top areas of expertise include:

He also offers dry needling as part of his treatment approach, a great tool to utilize to decrease pain and tension.

Whether it’s recovering after surgery or addressing sports-related injuries, Dylan takes pride in tailoring treatment plans to each patient’s goals.

Cycling Enthusiast in Falls Church

Cycling is more than just a workout for Dylan - it’s a lifelong passion. Inspired by his father, a former semi-pro cyclist, he began riding seriously during physical therapy school. Now, it’s his main form of exercise and a great way to connect with the community. He frequently rides the W&OD Trail and participates in local group rides throughout Northern Virginia.

This personal passion gives him unique insight when treating cycling-related injuries, making him a trusted choice for athletes in the Falls Church and Reston areas.

Outside the Clinic

When he’s not treating patients or riding, you might find Dylan:

And if you hear a groan-worthy pun around the clinic? Chances are it came from him—he’s known for running the “dad jokes” department.
