State of the art: A group of Northern Virginia’s most talented physical therapy professionals have moved after several years on Ridgetop Circle to set up shop across the street from Gold’s Gym in Ashburn. The p.t. team includes Art Bronsord, Sherry Moran, Michelle McGregor, Anne Cederle, Shantelle McLellan and Charlotte Passman, operating under the new name of State of the Art Physical Therapy. The company, owned by Art Bronsord, is located at 20098 Ashbrook Place, Suite 190. The new facility is spacious, light and airy -- and is set up as an environmentally friendly “green” business. Call 703-723-5225.
