About Mid-County Physical Therapy

The clinic that treats the cause.

Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them: one-on-one care, led by your physical therapist.

Our Story

This isn’t our story. It’s yours.

Portrait of Charles S. Mills, III, founder of Mid-County Physical Therapy

Charles S. Mills, III, MHS, PT, (Cert.) MDT, CMTPT, Founder

Charles grew up in the West Springfield area of Fairfax County, Virginia, graduating from Lake Braddock Secondary School in 1981. He earned his undergraduate degree in Sports Management from Old Dominion University in 1987, commissioned through Army ROTC, and served three years of active duty plus eight years in the reserves.

He went on to the Medical University of South Carolina, graduating in 1994 with a master's degree in health science and physical therapy. From there he worked across hospital systems and outpatient clinics, including a stint as an Administrator for HealthSouth Corporation.

In 2009, Charles started Mid-County Physical Therapy. Today, 35+ years into practice, he's certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling and the McKenzie Method. His core values: work hard, be a good person, love your family. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.

“Live now, tomorrow is not guaranteed.”

What We Believe

Four things we’ll never compromise.

Your therapist. Your plan.

No bouncing between rooms, no being passed along mid-visit. Your physical therapist leads your care from start to finish, with a technician assisting on some parts of a session.

Cause first. Symptoms follow.

You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We look for the why, and build your plan around it.

Plans end. That’s the point.

You shouldn’t need a punch card. Every plan is laid out in phases, so you always know where you are and what comes next.

You’re not a protocol.

Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.

The Difference

Not your typical clinic.

A typical clinic

  • You explain your pain to a different aide every visit
  • Your hour gets split with two other patients
  • The same pain creeps back in a few months
  • No plan to work from, just book again next week

Mid-County Physical Therapy

  • One-on-one care, led by your physical therapist
  • Focused, individualized attention, with your therapist staying with you as much as possible
  • A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
  • A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one

Feel the difference in your first visit.

Rooted in Woodbridge

This is our neighborhood too.

We’ve been treating Woodbridge for 17+ years: your neighbors, your teammates, your kids’ coaches. The mom who’s been pushing through it so nobody else has to worry? She’s probably on our schedule too. Recovery is a lot more personal when it’s local.
