MVMT Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Anastasia was great to work with. Personable, professional, and really seems to enjoy what she does. Feeling as good as I have in quite a while. Hopefully I won’t need her again, but if problems arise I’ll be back.

Fantastic experience: Anastasia was wonderful to work with. She really took the time to understand my personal body's needs and address issues in a multi-faceted way. She has gotten me back to a place of mobility I haven't been at in a long time. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: MVMT is a great small business! I appreciated the 1-1 attention and personalized program. Over a few sessions, I improved my posture, got rid of aches of pains, expanded my range of motion, and made a full return to weightlifting and martial arts. Everything flowed through insurance without a hitch.

Fantastic experience: Anastasia is a superb physiotherapist. She really spends time to understand your issues and diagnose. She’s extremely thorough, thoughtful and creative. She understands your pain well and comes up with exercises that you can easily do at home. She even spends her time in thinking on what would be the best way to replicate the PT exercises with existing things you have at home. She rarely asks you to buy anything. My condition was really bad - almost at a position of having bed rest when I was 7 months pregnant. It was then I started consulting her and she had been a life saver for me that I could spend my last 2 months of pregnancy with much less pain. She has helped me correct my posture, guided me in doing normal household chores (especially with the baby) so that I do not end up in that situation again. It is now that I realised the importance of physiotherapy in life. All thanks to Anastasia for being so patient with me. Anastasia is also very friendly and you would feel very positive as soon as you enter the space. Never see a physiotherapist like this before. I highly recommend her!! She is the BEST!!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Anastasia is kind, professional, and the best resource you could ask for if you're a dancer or need specialized attention with your injury.

Fantastic experience: I began working with Anastasia 2 months before total knee replacement and for 3 months after surgery. She's the best. Her professional skills are top-notch. Also important to me: her people skills. She could look at my face when I walked in and know if I was struggling. She was a great emotional support, always encouraging and kind. I highly recommend MVMT and Anastasia.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Anastasia has been an incredible blessing this past year in both strengthening my body to prep for hip replacement and then post surgery re- strengthening and movement training. I have increased my entire body flexibility to a range of movement I have never had previously. I would call her a professional at PT and a healer. She has my strongest endorsement possible!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been putting off PT for 13 years and was pretty intimidated by the process, but Dr. Anastasia has been a life changer. I had chronic lower back pain with a history of muscle spasms. I’m about 3 months into weekly sessions and my lower back pain is gone! If you’re on the fence about doing PT, not sure if it’s for you or if it’s going to work, I highly recommend giving it a try with Dr. Anastasia and MVMT PT.

Fantastic experience: Working with Anastasia was a very positive experience. She is knowledgeable and professional. She was immediately impactful in helping mitigate pain and reclaim my mobility. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Anastasia (and her lovely student interns) are absolutely amazing to work with and definitely committed to the best care of the patient! The atmosphere and communication present during all appointments is comfortable and educational. I cannot recommend coming to this independent practice for the best and most specialized care! Thanks so much guys!

Fantastic experience: Anastasia is professional, knowledgable, and always encouraging. I made great progress rebuilding strength, stamina, and coordination after having a surgery years back. Sure, the exercises can be tiring, but I always enjoyed my time here and felt great after the sessions. Want to shout out a big thank you for your help!

Fantastic experience: Anastasia at MVMT Physical Therapy is awesome. I’ve been a patient with her for a year and a half now and what a difference. My back pain is virtually gone and she gives me stretches to keep me in check. I appreciate all she has done and will continue to be a patient here. I highly recommend her. Thank you MVMT!

Fantastic experience: Physical therapy at MVMT Physical Therapy improved my overall health and fitness. Thank you! I will surely come back.

Fantastic experience: I received effective physical therapy services, and it significantly improved my mobility and reduced pain. Thank you, MVMT Physical Therapy!!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent! Figured out the source of my hip pain on the first visit and fixed it in a matter of weeks.

Fantastic experience: MVMT Physical Therapy is my go to physical therapy clinic. They led my recovery journey with their expertise and personalized care. I saw amazing progress.

Fantastic experience: Being diagnosed with arthritis was a real blow, but I didn't let it get me down. I decided to give physical therapy a shot and it made all the difference. MVMT Physical Therapy helped me manage my pain. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: The physical therapy provided by MVMT Physical Therapy was professional and tailored to my specific needs. The therapists were knowledgeable and caring. THANKS!!!

Fantastic experience: This place is not just about exercises; it's about building strength, resilience, and confidence. The therapists not only focus on the physical aspect but also on emotional support, ensuring a well-rounded recovery.

Fantastic experience: This place offers a top-notch physical therapy facility. From the moment I stepped in, I felt welcomed and supported. The state-of-the-art equipment and expert guidance from the therapists made my recovery journey smooth and successful. I am grateful for the positive experience.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a series of physical therapy sessions at MVMT Physical Therapy in Durham, NC, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality of care I received. After a sports injury left me in pain, I was referred to MVMT, and it turned out to be a game-changer. From my very first visit, the therapists were attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They developed a personalized treatment plan tailored to my specific needs and guided me through each exercise with precision and encouragement. The facility itself is spacious, clean, and well-equipped with the latest rehabilitation technology. They also implemented strict safety measures to ensure everyone's well-being during my visits. What sets MVMT Physical Therapy apart is their commitment to not just alleviating symptoms but addressing the root cause of the problem. They educated me on preventative techniques and ensured that I was empowered to continue my recovery at home. My progress has been remarkable, and I owe a significant part of my recovery to the expert care at MVMT. If you're in the Durham area and in need of physical therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend giving MVMT Physical Therapy a call. They turned a challenging period in my life into a positive healing experience!

Fantastic experience: 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 at a routine physical my doctor was concerned about the injury never completely healing and potential long term damage. 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. Enter Anastasia at MVMT Physical Therapy. She took the time to thoroughly examine my back and discuss what had caused the injuries and came up with a plan of attack. I found her to be honest in both her assessment and realistic for the prognosis moving forward. Then we went to work..... Anastasia will push you to get to where you are trying to go. Throughout the process, I noticed that even though I was being pushed and challenged during the sessions, the end result was my back feeling better than it had in years. 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.

Fantastic experience: I truly wish I could give MVMT Physical Therapy more than 5 stars! I started PT at MVMT about a month ago after shin splints nearly benched me from another race. It is my first time ever doing PT and I was nervous starting, but Anastasia has been wonderful! She is warm, empathetic, and engaging. She really takes the time to explain the mechanics behind why one experiences pain from movement and why certain exercises will help. In just a month of working together my shin splint is nearly healed, and I feel confident that it won't return because of the strengthening exercises Anastasia has been teaching me. I am beyond thankful for this practice, and can only imagine how strong of a runner I will be after some consistent PT!

Fantastic experience: Where to begin?! First off, Stacy is absolutely amazing at what she does! About a month ago I injured myself working out and I went to two different doctors that both told me the same thing but being individual who works at health and fitness field my gut instinct was telling me that their diagnosis was not correct. That is when I reached out to Stacy to see What her thoughts were. The doctors believed it was a pulled muscle but based off of what I was doing to injure myself that didn’t add up to me so I thought it was something related to a disc or a nerve in my neck. With Stacy‘s help we confirmed that that’s what it was and she prescribed me stretches to do at home. Slowly but surely I started to heal and I finally began to get some relief. Stacy took the time to help me figure out what was going on and continue to check in with me throughout my healing process. If you choose to go with Stacy you will not regret it and you will not feel like just another number- you are without a doubt in good hands ♥️ 10/10 recommend MVMT physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Helped my knee a ton, and even gave me advice regarding possibly becoming a PT myself.

Fantastic experience: In just a handful of sessions with Anastasia, she was not only able to explain in detail the reason why I was experiencing chronic lower back pain, but knew the perfect exercises to rectify the injury almost instantaneously. I left pain free with more knowledge about preventative exercises for the future and a greater appreciation for what the human body is capable of. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: First off, I gotta say that working with Anastasia has been life changing. She is SO knowledgeable, professional, and detailed in her approach - you can really feel she gives her heart, soul, and dedication to the art and science of healing bodies and making us strong and pain free. I’ve been seeing Anastasia for about 6 months, and I initially sought out her services to fix my “dowagers hump” that I had developed in the back of my neck, after a combination of genetics and sedentary bad habits compounded during the Pandemic. She’s fixed my hump and so much more - paying attention to other areas of misalignment in my body, and educating me along the way. She’s helped fix the way I stand, sit, move in everyday life, and you can physically see the difference in how I carry myself. I also mentioned to her my goals of improving my posture to help how I look and move in dance class, and she has worked miracles! I feel more connected to my body and proper posture than ever before, and I feel so supported on this journey. Thank you Anastasia for everything!!! You will not regret working with her.

Fantastic experience: As somehow who stays pretty active, I accumulated a number of different overuse injuries, which threatened to prevent me from going about my activities. In a few sessions with Anastasia, she was able to resolve all of my issues and I was able to stay active with no downtime! I had one lingering injury that was with me for years, and other doctors and physical therapists were not able to solve it. Thanks to Anastasia, I finally know the secret movement needed to keep that injury at bay. Anastasia is very thorough, skilled, and effective at communicating and employing an effective treatment. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: As a retired professional ballroom dancer and also full time IT professional, I had many issues that were impacting me day to day. Nastia resolved all of them including some that I didn’t even know I had and I am living much more pain free! With her methodology, I can also continue to take care of myself if any flare ups occur. She is very attentive and caring and will take the time to address all of your issues and answer your questions in full detail. I highly recommend giving her a visit!

Fantastic experience: I have been to all of the ‘name brand’ PT offices in the Raleigh-Durham-CH area over many years. Anastasia at MVMT is the only practitioner who has significantly helped me. Due to injuries in my 20s and autoimmune issues, I have significant arthritis and degenerative issues in both cervical and lumbar spine and have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for nearly 30 years. When I arrived at MVMT, I had constant grueling neck pain and low back pain that prevented me from standing for more than 10 minutes. Working full time in a fast paced, stressful job, in front of a computer for long hours per day — I was having a difficult time managing everything. After working for several months with Anastasia, I am now at least 80% better. I still get pain, but Anastasia has given me a toolbox of stretches that I can use to help myself in those instances. Unlike my experience with so many other PT’s,, Anastasia took the time to get to know me. She was dedicated to pinpointing the root cause of each area of pain and then, instead of just giving me the ‘out-of-box’ treatment, Anastasia tailored my treatment specifically for me and for what worked for my life. Are you looking for the usual, out-of-the-box PT? You know, where you’re brought in, put on a table in a room with rows of other patients. An assistant has you do the same rote exercises that the patient next to you is doing. You wait your turn until the PT gets to you, does some manual mobilization, gives you 17 exercises to do at home with various colored bands. Then you get some stim and heat, and when you’ve used enough of your visit allowance (per your insurance plan) you are discharged. If that is what you are looking for, MVMT is nothing like that. If you are looking for a practitioner who sees YOU and works hard to help you, I highly recommend MVMT.

Fantastic experience: Nastia is amazing! I thought I knew where my pain was coming from, but she was knowledgeable enough to get to the real root of the problem and continually adjust my treatment to get me to a completely pain free state. A complete game changer!

Fantastic experience: Anastasia is the best PT person I have had. At 80 years old I have been dealing with back and leg/hip issues for over ten years. During that time I have used many therapists, over ten. I am most impressed with the creativity she brings to choosing & designing which exercises we use each day. While we are not totally finished yet (and I will never be totally recovered), I am walking much better and almost painlessly. she’s great!

Fantastic experience: I grew up as a competitive dancer & I now dance part-time, as well as being very involved in fitness. Due to that, I have had many injuries over the years which have taken a toll on my body. I went to MVMT for what I thought was a hamstring injury I had been dealing with for 2 years. I had seen 2 other PT’s for it with no relief. Within a few minutes of my first session, Anastasia figured out that it wasn’t my hamstring at all, it was an issue with my back that was affecting my leg. She was able to not only solve that problem but address so many other issues that have piled up over the years that I had been ignoring. She is extremely thorough, patient, & thoughtful. I’ve worked with many PT’s over the years & have never met anyone who listens like she does. Since she is also a dancer, she understood my language & knew how to work with my needs. I will be forever grateful to her for giving me my body back. I have started joining her mobility classes as well & intend to continue those every week as I wrap up my PT sessions. I can’t recommend her enough!!! I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Anastasia is the BEST!! I went to her with a problem that no other doctor had been able to solve. My legs were almost completely unable to function. I could not participate in any exercise of any kind, nor could I do something as simple as checking my mail at the end of my driveway. This went on for about 6 months. I had bloods tests, multiple MRI's, X-rays, went to an orthopedic specialist, a neuro surgeon and spinal specialist, etc. with absolutely 0 answers. After being referred to yet another specialist, I decided instead to take a leap of faith and try PT here, even though PT at multiple other practices was also unsuccessful for me in the past. Within 20 minutes Anastasia diagnosed the problem, and within an hour she significantly improved the function in my legs. I truly cannot express how grateful I am for her. I nearly cried at my first appointment from the realization that there was even a slight chance that I might be able to regain full function of my legs. ' It has now been a few months since my first appointment, and I have officially been discharged from physical therapy. My legs are back to 100% and Anastasia also managed to fixed multiple other issues unrelated to the original problem for me throughout my time in PT with her. PLEASE go see her, you WILL NOT regret it! She's known (fondly) in my family as a "witch doctor" for her amazing skills!

Fantastic experience: Great results! Anastasia helped me with problems I presented with and other issues I didn't realize I had. Body feels great. Anastasia made me feel comfortable and the sessions were helpful. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I began going to MVMT Physical Therapy in October 2022 after about 7 months of progressively worsening knee pain. At our first appointment, Anastasia quickly pinpointed my back as the actual root cause of all of my knee troubles. The homework she gave me was tough, but within even the first week, I could feel steady improvement in my knee's capabilities and pain level. Considering it took years of bad posture and sitting like a gargoyle in my office chair to create this problem, it blows my mind that Anastasia was able to help me be pain-free within such a short period. I'm back to my daily activities and exercising at Orangetheory at full force, and it's great to not feel held back anymore. Anastasia also gave me a plan to address some single-sided weakness I've developed and improve my overall strength and stability. It feels like I'm coming out of this in an even better position than I was before my knee pain started. I'm even excited again about a planned hiking trip next year, when not too long ago, I was doubting I'd be able to do it at all. Going from "hurts to walk up stairs" to zero pain definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'm glad to now have the tools for maintaining my spine health over the long term. I highly recommend MVMT Physical Therapy, and I cannot thank Anastasia enough for helping me!!

Fantastic experience: Going here was the best suggestion anyone has given me in a very long time. I was having serious and prolonged issues with my knees, but Anastasia worked with me and taught me several exercises that have helped tremendously. I feel my knees are as close to normal as they were before my issues began. Plus, I'm almost 70 years of age and Anastasia was super patient and professional. I highly recommend trying MVMT.

Fantastic experience: Anastasia cured me. I’ve suffered from sciatic pain for 20 years. She has it under control after only 3 visits.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to PT with Nastia for several weeks now and she has really helped me move more freely and without pain. As a dancer moving without pain is fundamental to be able to let the body interpret the music. Nastia is also super nice and super willing to tailor to your specific needs... She even came to a couple of my performances and helped me get my body ready before the shows! I seriously recommend her :)

Fantastic experience: This was exactly what I needed! After years of not paying attention to my body it finally forced me to start noticing it with an ever persistent knee pain. MVMT was quickly able to diagnose the pain and determined that it was caused by some issues in my back… while I was skeptical, because I didn’t know anything, I took the exercises in stride and immediately saw and felt improvement with 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. 10/10 would do it with this place again if ever the need arose!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Anastasia highly enough! She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and professional. Working with her not only resolved my back pain but gave me the tools and exercises that I need to keep it away in the future. MVMT is awesome!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: It has been such a great experience every time I have a PT session. Everything is done in such professional manner while making you feel comfortable and at ease. I walked in with pain and 3 sessions later my pain is gone. I recommend everyone to at least experience one session you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: As a Salsa choreographer/performer and trainer, I often push my body to its limits, especially when executing partner stunt choreography. Nastia, of MVMT Physical Therapy, has been exceptionally effective at addressing my injuries and providing me 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: The service was amazing! I am a full time dancer and I had to perform that night after my body was really hurting and after getting work done I was able to perform and dance for hours after.

Fantastic experience: Nastia is incredibly gifted in her work. I came to Nastia with back pain from heavy lifting during a move and hamstring pain from dance. Nastia both facilitated exercises that provided relief to those areas and offered education about how different parts of the body are linked and work together for a healthy functioning body that allows me to optimally perform my favorite activities. Nastia provides judgement free care and made me feel comfortable to ask questions about my pressing issues. She followed up with me to check how I was feeling and adjusted treatment as needed. I say she works magic, but truthfully she is trained well and very knowledgable about her work. I highly recommend MVMT Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend MVMT Physical Therapy more! I’ve been seeing Anastasia for bad neck/shoulder pain and she’s wonderful! She’s very easy to talk to, and super knowledgeable. She always provides thoughtful answers to my questions and gives great instructions/explanations for exercises. Since I’ve started seeing her the pain has noticeably lessened; even right after my first visit I was feeling a bit better. Anastasia's insight into the body, injuries and ways to heal and regain performance are incredible and I truly appreciate not just the positive effects of the physical therapy but also how much I've learned about my own body's strengths, needs and best ways to work with it from going to her office. I highly recommend MVMT Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I am a truck driver and I had discomfort in my back for a little over a year and in just a few sessions I began feeling 100 times better. After visiting Anastasia my workouts became more comfortable and siting for long periods of time became painless again. Thanks a lot your the best.

Fantastic experience: The care I receive was very attentive, and it resulted in being healed of my knee and hip pain a lot quicker than the normal timeline. I no longer have the pains and I continue to follow what was instructed of me daily. I highly recommend going to MVMT if you need any physical therapy for orthopedic and sports injuries.

Fantastic experience: Anastasia’s sessions were great! She knew how to help me right away. She is very hands on and stays in touch to track the progress of their patients. I originally went to see her because I had a knee problem, thinking it could be fixed… turned out there was more than that and I was numb through out my entire leg . I’ve been in constant pain/ numbness for many years that I didn’t realize anymore until Anastasia helped me out. I would definitely recommend her, she will make the pain go away and help your body feel so much better!

Fantastic 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!

Fantastic experience: The best physical therapist in the area! I am a dancer so I have to sustain daily activities that causes trauma and sometimes injuries to my body. Nastia has helped me gotten so much better on my knee, ankles and got so much stronger through the process. For all the desk and office workers who suffers back pain and or tight shoulder & neck out there, she also works magic! Give it a try and really, really worth your time! Nastia is super kind & helpful, you’ll love your experience!
