Dr. Kathy Coutinho, D.C., C.C.S.P., A.K., A.R.T.
Dr. Kathy Coutinho is a board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine who opened Positively Chiropractic and Dynamic Kinesiology in March of 2000. Dr. Kathy graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon in March of 1997 and worked as a chiropractor’s associate for 3 years before opening her own practice. She is an active member of the Virginia Chiropractic Association and Business Networking International (B.N.I.). Dr. Kathy sponsors EX2 Adventure Racing--a company that puts on year round off-road cycling and running races--as well as Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts (M.O.R.E.), a unified group of cyclists who share information on group rides, races, and much more!
Dr. Kathy is certified as an Applied Kinesiologist (A.K.), as a Chiropractic Sports Physician (C.C.S.P.), and as an Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) provider. These skills have given her the ability to offer her patients care that links skeletal health to the muscular, nervous, and organic systems. Dr. Kathy views one’s health as not merely a structure that needs to be fixed, but a dynamic, complex system combining the physical, emotional, spiritual, and chemical health of the individual that needs to be fully assessed before appropriate treatment can be rendered.
Dr. Kathy’s specialty is sports medicine, as she herself is an avid competitor of mountain biking and off-road triathlon through XTERRA. Her mantra is ALWAYS MOVING YOU FORWARD. Her biggest pet peeve is when patients are told by other doctors that they have to QUIT their sport without being given the opportunity to properly treat and overcome their injuries. Dr. Kathy provides that opportunity!
She feels that combining sports chiropractic and Active Release Technique is the most effective and proactive means of treating soft tissue injuries that stop people from training in their given sport. This is true for young athletes as well as our active geriatric population.
Dr. Anna Moseley, D.C.
Dr. Anna Moseley is a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine certified to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of California, and State of Arizona. As a graduate of Life Chiropractic University, Dr. Anna has been an active practitioner in the field since 1997. Dr. Anna has also attended Emory University, and continues to regularly attend continuing education courses and seminars in the field of Sports Chiropractic Medicine as this field of medicine, in particular, is currently in a stage of rapid development and refinement.
Dr. Anna's entrance into this field of medicine was largely a result of her exposure to Chiropractic medicine after a particularly severe car accident where what is generally termed "conventional medicine" seemed unable to adequately address many of the rehabilitative needs stemming from the injury.
Successful chiropractic intervention relieved pain and discomfort from this life-altering event, and this began her commitment to Chiropractic medicine.
Because Dr. Anna's immediate family includes conventional medical doctors, she has a rather unique perspective to recognize the benefits of other fields of medicine and does not subscribe to the belief that Chiropractic medicine can cure every ailment under every circumstance.
Dr. Jeannie Kim, D.C., A.R.T
Dr. Jeannie Kim is a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine certified to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia. She graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College West, where she was granted the top Clinic Excellence Award. She finished her undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech and graduated with honors.
Dr. Jeannie Kim is a Diversified Practitioner, certified in A.R.T. (Active Release Technique) and currently working towards ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) certification which includes care for pregnant women as well as for the little newborns and children.
Dr. Jeannie Kim spent 4 years working overseas in various countries. Although most of that time was spent in Singapore, she also had the opportunity to work in Nicaragua, Indonesia, and India. As an invited speaker to several organizations in Singapore, she was able to educate the public about the numerous facets of chiropractic, including Pediatric Care, Sports Injuries, Office Ergonomics, and Wellness.
As a self-proclaimed addict of smiles, Dr. Jeannie Kim truly has a passion for helping people--from the pediatric to the geriatric--achieve their optimal health potential through natural chiropractic care.
