Dr. Nicholas J

About

Dr. Nicholas Jan received his BS from the University of Maryland at College Park in 2011 and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in 2014. He was introduced into the world of physical therapy while recovering from multiple ACL and meniscus surgeries throughout high school and college that inspired him to be a part of the field and help prevent injuries to others. Dr Jan has been trained through the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI: Myokinematics, Postural Respiration, Pelvis Restoration, Impingement and Instability, Cervical Revolution, Advanced Integration), Kinetacore (Functional Dry Needling Levels 1 and 2), and the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI: SFMA screens). Dr. Jan is homegrown from Rockville, Maryland where he attended Wootton HS. In his spare time, Nick loves watching his Terps, Redskins, Wizards, cooking new recipes, and playing tennis, basketball, golf, and ultimate frisbee.As a therapist working under large companies, I was unhappy with the quality of care I was able to provide. I was only given 20-30 minutes of individual time with my patients before I had to hand them off to a technician who had little to no training in what I am looking for in techniques that I prescribe to my patients. Therefore, I started Jan Active Therapy in 2016 with the intent on giving patients what they deserve: a therapists' undivided attention who looks for the source of pain, rather than just chasing it.
