About Dr. Bettie

I’m a client-centered physical therapist who believes in a holistic approach to treatment in order to identify underlying causes of injury rather than pain control alone.

I believe in building a strong partnership with my clients that empowers them to reach their highest potential through greater awareness of how they move, providing tools to refine movements, and improve performance. I have advanced training in manual therapy, blood flow restriction and I’m a certified trigger point dry needling specialist.

I work with active adults and adolescents in an array of orthopedic and athletic related injuries as well as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.

CoreMovement Physical Therapy was founded in Spring 2023 after relocating to the Philadelphia area.

Prior to starting CoreMovement Physical Therapy, I spent seven years working as a licensed PT in Washington, D.C. and the last four years at a boutique physical therapy practice recognized for their expertise which was voted “Best of DC” four years running for physical therapy.

I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of New England in 2016 and I earned a Bachelors in Exercise Science from Syracuse University. I reside on the Main Line with my husband Chris and dog Banks.
