We exist for the athlete the system discharges too early.

First Touch Sports Science is a soccer-dedicated physical therapy and sports science practice serving youth and college players across Tyson’s Corner and Northern Virginia.

The story

From frustration on the sideline to a better standard of care

First Touch began with a question every injured player eventually asks: Why do I feel cleared but still not ready to play? Too many athletes complete traditional rehab only to re-injure within their first season back — because they were never tested against the real demands of soccer.

We rebuilt the model from the ground up. Every player gets one-on-one, doctor-led care fused with objective sports science testing — so the day you are cleared, the data says you are truly ready.

Our Mission

To return every soccer athlete to the game more durable than the injury found them — and give players, parents, and clubs the knowledge to keep them there.

Our Promise

Objective, measurable progress. You will never wonder if you are ready — the force plates, strength scores, and movement data tell us together.

Our Approach

Rehab and performance under one roof. We do not just heal the injury — we eliminate the weakness that caused it and build the athlete around it.
