About 5 years ago I injured my back lifting weights. Since the initial injury, I went on to reinjure the same spot twice. I initially was reluctant to go to a chiropractor but eventually gave it a try. After seeing 2 different chiropractors for an extended period of time, I found I could make my back feel better temporarily but nothing close to permanently healed. In early 2023 I faced the options of either going to physical therapy or getting a MRI that may lead to a surgical procedure. I chose to go the physical therapy route and am thrilled that I did.
Anastasia at MVMT Physical Therapy took the time to thoroughly examine my back. I found her to be honest in both her assessment and realistic for the prognosis moving forward. Then we went to work.....Over the course of 3-4 months we were able to get my back pain/discomfort more manageable than I could've hoped for. I was also taught stretches and exercises that can help if I am experiencing discomfort and to prevent future issues. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who is frustrated with an injury that they aren't sure will heal, especially if you are experiencing back issues.

Absolutely blown away. Full 60 minutes, crammed full of great work and knowledge. Anastasia’s ability to identify problems throughout the body and approach them in a different way is fantastic. The exercises have brought lasting relief to my wife’s plantar fasciitis and my knee & hip pains. Anastasia is also really funny and a blast to work with! Certainly better than getting adjustments from a chiropractor, and with immediate relief of the pain & symptoms. If you have weird/odd/chronic problems that other doctors have not brought lasting change to, you should absolutely come to see Anastasia!

I have had back pain for years, and finally took steps to deal with it after my routine of daily yoga was made impossible by the pain and I was waking up, unable to sleep. It was bad! I followed Nastia's directions for my "homework" and her excellent PT skills have worked wonder, pain-free for weeks. I do my "maintenance" exercises morning and night when I brush my teeth, and before/after yoga, and have had only success so far. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!
- Dominique
The best physical therapist in the area! I am a dancer so I have to sustain daily activities that cause trauma and sometimes injuries to my body. Nastia has helped me get so much better on my knee, ankles and got so much stronger through the process. For all the desk and office workers who suffer back pain and or tight shoulders & neck out there, she also works magic! Give it a try and it's really, really worth your time! Nastia is super kind & helpful, you’ll love your experience!

Anastasia did the pre and post surgery PT for my knee. She approached my therapy in a holistic manner and was the one who advised me to seek an Orthopedic Doctor once she determined my issues were deeper in nature. Her efforts expedited a surgical solution and her post surgical PT had me walking unassisted six weeks after surgery. Highly recommend and can honestly not thank her enough!

I really enjoyed working with Anastasia at MVMT! I went in for a knee pain that she assessed and re-diagnosed as a back injury. For a few weeks we targeted my back and, after just a few sessions, I felt remarkably better. I appreciate Anastasia's dance background, as she was able to bring that knowledge into our sessions. I also appreciate how her therapy included practical, day-to-day movements (i.e. lifting boxes, vacuuming in low spaces, etc.) but also stretches and exercises that helped my mobility for working out, lifting weights, and jumping, which is where I noticed the biggest need after my injury/pain. I really cannot recommend her personal attention, ability to pinpoint needs, and targeted therapies enough!

This was exactly what I needed! After years of not paying attention to my body, it finally forced me to start noticing it with persistent knee pain. MVMT was quickly able to diagnose the pain and determine that it was caused by some issues in my back. While I was skeptical at first, I took the exercises in stride and immediately saw and felt improvement in my knee pain. After a few weeks, we were able to completely eliminate it! This was the most educational, fun, and personal physical therapy experience I’ve ever had.
- Alex
Anastasia is amazing. I've seen her for a few different injuries and have been blown away by her willingness to spend extra time and go out of her way to provide the best care possible. I have worked with other physical therapists and am an occupational therapist myself and I think she is truly exceptional in her field. Highly recommend!
-Emily
I can’t believe how much bad posture affects my everyday life. She took the time to find the spots I was messed up in and gave me custom plans to fix them. They totally worked and she’s great at following up! Highly recommend.
- Sam
As a Salsa choreographer/performer and trainer, I often push my body to its limits, especially when executing partner stunt choreography. Nastia at MVMT Physical Therapy has been exceptionally effective at addressing my injuries and providing methods that allow me to maintain my body and continue executing at my highest level. Nastia is articulate, knowledgeable, thorough, and committed to her patient’s progress. I highly recommend her to anyone whose livelihood or daily routine is hindered by injury.
- James
Love how attentive Nastia is. I most definitely recommend her to all my friends. I always tell her to fix me when I can’t walk or am in pain and she does. It’s incredible that I am able to feel relief on the spot. Especially being a dancer she understands how much I need my body to function properly and appreciate how convenient she makes everything.
