Hi, I’m Dr. Cari, a physical therapist specializing in:
✔️ Orthopedic pain (acute, chronic, hypermobility/EDS)
✔️ Vestibular rehab (for dizziness + balance)
✔️ Neurological conditions
✔️ MS-specific programs — including MS Fit

I combine hands-on techniques (like cupping, joint mobilization, and Graston) with targeted exercises, blood flow restriction training, and neuro-informed movement strategies — all tailored to YOUR goals.

🎉 Movement Matters is 4 Years Strong! 🎉

This month, we’re celebrating 4 amazing years of helping our community move better, feel stronger, and reclaim their confidence through personalized, hands-on care. 💪

This year marks a new chapter as Cari continues on as the sole owner of Movement Matters PT. With a clear vision and heartfelt dedication, we’re looking forward to all that’s ahead.
Thank you to every patient, provider, friend, and local partner who has believed in this mission. We wouldn’t be here without you! 💙

✨New chapter, Same care!✨
Cari and Elisa are growing in exciting new directions — Cari will remain with Movement Matters PT, and Elisa will now practice under Proactive Motion PT.

We’re still in the same location, offering the same services with no changes to your appointments, pricing, or therapists.

To make room for this evolution, we’ll be closing our Recovery Suite, but rest assured: your physical therapy care continues uninterrupted.

Thank you for growing with us! 💪

🌀 May is Hearing-Related Dizziness Awareness Month — and yes, your ears play a huge role in your balance. 👂💥

If you’ve been feeling dizzy, off-balance, or lightheaded — especially with symptoms like:
✔️ Ear fullness or pressure
✔️ Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
✔️ Sensitivity to sound or motion
✔️ Hearing changes or muffled sound
…it could be linked to your inner ear and vestibular system.

👂 In this post, we’re breaking down how hearing and balance are connected, and what steps you can take to feel steady again.

🧠 At Movement Matters PT, we specialize in treating vestibular disorders, including those tied to hearing loss and sensory imbalance.
