Every session you can expect 1:1, premium care with an evidence based, holistic approach grounded in fostering independence and ownership of your body, your rehab and your future. Within its first year of existence, ChapmanPT has already been recognized as one of the best physical therapy clinics in Baltimore by Expertise.com. Chapman Physical Therapy is in-network with Medicare and Carefirst insurance plans but also happily accepts all other major insurance plans as an out-of-network provider.
Dr. Chapman attended the #1 Physical Therapy program in the nation at the University of Delaware, where he attained both his doctorate in physical therapy as well as his master’s in anatomy and health sciences. Following graduation, Dr. Chapman stayed at UD to complete his advanced residency studies in orthopedics, practicing under the mentorship of some of the most talented providers in the profession.
Outside of Chapman Physical Therapy, Dr. Chapman is an Associate Editor at The Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy and currently co-hosts the JOSPT Insights podcast, where he translates cutting-edge research for clinicians in order to improve clinical practice around the globe.
