Award-winning, Specialized Physical Therapy in Baltimore City
Physical Therapy in Federal Hill, Baltimore, MD
FX Physical Therapy – Federal Hill provides one-on-one, performance-focused physical therapy in Baltimore designed to help busy professionals, active adults, athletes, and post-surgical patients recover fully, move confidently, and return to the activities they love. Conveniently located right off Key Highway inside Industry Athletics (CrossFit Federal Hill), our Federal Hill physical therapy clinic combines individualized rehabilitation, hands-on care, and performance-based recovery within one of South Baltimore’s most active fitness communities.
At FX Physical Therapy, every treatment session is delivered one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Unlike traditional high-volume clinics where patients may rotate between providers or spend portions of treatment with aides, our Federal Hill physical therapists work directly with patients throughout the full session. This allows for individualized movement analysis, hands-on treatment, customized exercise programming, and long-term progression tailored to each patient’s goals and lifestyle.
Our Federal Hill physical therapists specialize in orthopedic rehabilitation, sports physical therapy, mobility restoration, post-operative rehabilitation, chronic pain management, and return-to-activity progression. Whether you are balancing a demanding work schedule, recovering from surgery, returning to the gym after injury, training recreationally, or simply trying to stay active in Baltimore, our team creates personalized treatment plans focused on improving movement quality, reducing pain, and supporting long-term resilience.
As part of the FX Physical Therapy network, our Federal Hill clinic is built around the philosophy: Built to Make You Better. That philosophy influences every aspect of care — from movement assessments and manual therapy to strength progression, return-to-sport programming, and long-term performance development.

Sydney Smith, PT is fantastic. Each visit/workout has been carefully adjusted/modified in response to my progress. I am thrilled with my continuing progress.
FX as a whole is an amazing company. They are very much patient first orientated. I love the one on one appointments you get which is very different compared to other "big name" physical therapy companies.
I really appreciate the attention and focus of the one on one treatment as I tend to struggle to sustain “homework” and the one on one nature makes me more accountable.
I have been treated by Jo but mostly worked with Nihal. They are both attentive to my responses and adjust accordingly.
I would have no reservations in recommending this office!
Jo does a great job of designing treatment plans for specific needs and really listens when you tell her things are or aren’t working. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for PT in the area.
When the parking isn't available out front, we have no trouble finding free street in the area.
The front desk staff is pleasant and friendly, and has great knowledge about insurance coverage and billing.
We both see Jo for therapy, and I cannot say enough great things about her. She is attentive to our issues, and keeps good record of our progress and ongoing issues.
Time during sessions consists of both massage, and instruction stretching and exercises to do at home. Jo has a wonderful, upbeat personality, which is refreshing. She never seems tired or bored with our problems, even after many visits.
I highly recommend FX Federal Hill, and their more sports related approach to physical therapy. They are great!
