Dr Moriarty and her team of professionals have been a vital part of my health for over six years. As a competitive equestrian rider and athlete, our bodies take a beating and I am grateful for the knowledge, therapies and tools offered at HCR that keep me physically sound. They have been able to improve, maintain and sometimes repair my body so that I can perform at my best. We do everything we can to keep our horses at 100% and it is important to take the time to keep ourselves in fine form as well. We are very lucky to be able to be treated by their services and highly recommend them to not just athletes, but all people, whether you’re rehabbing or working on regular health maintenance. From the whole team at Lauren Kieffer Eventing, we thank you for your continued support.

Haymarket Chiropractic was recommended to me after my first hip replacement and I have turned to them for every injury and nagging problem since. The whole staff is knowledgeable, friendly and caring with a positive attitude that says, “We will find a solution.”
Whether you have an injury, you want to improve your quality of life or you are trying to reach the next level of your sport, Haymarket Chiropractic is the place to start.

Dr. Holly Moriarty and her employees have assisted myself and my swim team since 2009. During this time, she has evaluated the strength, flexibility, and nutrition of my team and made changes to assist them in becoming faster and less vulnerable to injury. These changes have included weekly treatments to stretch tight muscles; adjustments to maintain maximum flexibility; and nutritional recommendations including evaluation of each swimmers’ hourly dehydration level, swimmer specific use of protein and carbohydrates for maximum recovery after our workouts, and a shopping list of foods that help our swimmers choose foods that will give them more power. It is a great advantage to our team because her treatments allow them to practice at a higher level with fewer injuries all year long, which facilities them getting faster and faster. These changes have benefited the team tremendously, supporting us in our rise to the #2 Swim Team in the United States.Holly and her team have also treated me personally for a complex fracture to my foot and ankle and have assisted in my rehabilitation, returning me to maximum performance. We are grateful for her expertise and looking forward to years of her support.

I’ve spent the last decade pushing my limits on the bicycle. On more than one occasion, I found those limits by going a little too far. What resulted was more than a handful of injuries that kept me from training and competing. However, on each occasion my recovery was sped up–often to a remarkable extent–by Haymarket Chiropractic and Rehabilitation. On more than one occasion, I have referred to the work done by Dr. Moriarty as “magic.”

USA Track and Field, Chief of Sports PerformanceI have known Dr. Moriarty for several years as my chiropractor treating chronic pain in my back, knees and shoulder. Her extensive knowledge of athletes and athletic injuries has allowed her to diagnose the root cause of the pain and design a treatment protocol to address the problem.Dr. Moriarty has built a successful physical therapy practice in Haymarket, Virginia, that combines sports chiropractic, physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, personal training, massage therapy and acupuncture all under one roof. Her vision for the multi-disciplinary approach is revolutionary. Dr. Moriarty cross trains her staff and takes the best treatment practices from each discipline to create protocols that heal her patients quickly and keep them well longer. She strives to return athletes to their sport better, faster and stronger than prior to the injury.Dr. Moriarty is a leader in her profession and in her community. She has co-authored a book on the treatment of injuries, and chiropractic universities have engaged her in teaching their students. Dr. Moriarty has mentored dozens of other chiropractors by educating them on how to model her multi-disciplinary approach in their own practices. She also supports several local sports teams and their athletes, including the local AAA baseball team, and she has also been recruited to treat Olympic hopefuls at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO.

As a professional baseball player, I try to maintain a strong and healthy body to keep myself prepared for workouts and games. Staying 100% is not always easy to do. Throughout the workouts, there are constant movements with areas of my body that are extremely important to keep 100% healthy. Haymarket Physical Therapy & Chiropractic has made a huge difference in the way my body feels throughout workouts. They have helped relieve soreness and tightness in my hamstrings, lower back and shoulder. I thank the entire staff for helping me maintain a strong and healthy body to ready me for spring training.

As a former professional athlete, I understand the value and critical nature of efficient rehabilitation. The HPTC staff of professionals rehabilitated my 13 year old son’s shoulder injury on schedule and by his doctor’s requirements. Dr. Moriarty and Dr. Parvizian designed a rehabilitation program that was specific to my son’s sport (baseball) and the guidelines set-forth by his doctor. Their attention to detail and the understanding of baseball throwing mechanics not only got my son back to the sport he loves but returned him to action stronger than he was prior to the injury. Dr. Parvizian worked with my son on a weekly basis going beyond the normal rehabilitation routine by educating my son on the importance of overall health and proper nutrition. I was impressed with her level of expertise and overall attention to my son’s rehabilitation. I highly recommend HPTC because of their unique insight and understanding of various sports related injuries and rehabilitation programs.

After receiving back surgery, I was not only in discomfort but also extremely concerned about my long term recovery and ability to resume to a normal, pain free life. You have completely exceeded my expectations and I am now on the path to a full recovery. For that I am eternally grateful!As an ex-professional athlete, I have come to expect a complete approach to rehabilitation to my injuries. You have provided just that. Massage, Chiropractic care, stretching and physical therapy are all aspects of my rehab and I cannot be happier with each of your team members in their respective field. Every week I saw great improvement and am now starting to play golf in just 6 weeks. I never thought I would be here so soon. When choosing my rehabilitation facility post surgery, Haymarket Physical Therapy was the only center I interviewed that understood my needs and gave me the confidence to make an educated decision on my care provider. Boy, am I glad I chose you! I will continue to highly recommend your services to everyone I know.
