ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY - January 8, 2026 - Rockville Centre residents have a new option for comprehensive physical therapy care with the grand opening of MoveWell PT, founded by hometown native Dr. Emily Karsch. The practice, located centrally within the village, aims to redefine patient care through individualized, hands-on treatment and a focus on addressing the source of physical limitations, not simply masking the symptoms.

Dr. Karsch's return to Rockville Centre isn't just a professional venture; it's a personal fulfillment. Having grown up in the community, she expressed a strong desire to give back and provide a high level of physical therapy services to those she knows and cares about. "I'm thrilled to be able to bring my skills and passion for physical therapy back to my hometown," she stated. "My goal is to help people move well, feel well, and live well." This commitment to the community is immediately apparent in MoveWell PT's approach.

But what does 'holistic' physical therapy actually mean in practice? In a healthcare landscape often focused on quick fixes, Dr. Karsch emphasizes a detailed assessment of each patient's unique needs, lifestyle, and goals. This isn't about a cookie-cutter treatment plan. Instead, MoveWell PT will craft personalized programs using a range of proven techniques - manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and crucially, patient education. The inclusion of patient education is a key differentiator; empowering patients to understand their condition and actively participate in their recovery is paramount.

Dr. Karsch's expertise isn't limited to a single area. She has developed a particular focus on three key areas of need within the community: sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. The rising participation in youth sports and active lifestyles locally means sports injuries are increasingly common. MoveWell PT intends to provide athletes of all levels - from weekend warriors to competitive players - with the tools and treatment needed to recover quickly and safely.

Post-surgical rehabilitation is another crucial service. Following orthopedic procedures (knee replacements, hip replacements, shoulder repairs, etc.), patients often require specialized physical therapy to regain strength, mobility, and function. A dedicated rehabilitation program can significantly impact a patient's long-term outcome. MoveWell PT is well positioned to meet this need, offering individualized plans to guide patients through each stage of recovery.

Perhaps the most challenging area is chronic pain management. Millions suffer from persistent pain conditions that significantly impact their quality of life. Dr. Karsch understands that chronic pain is complex, often involving physical, psychological, and emotional factors. Her holistic approach aims to address all these components, utilizing manual therapy, exercise, and education to help patients manage their pain and improve their overall function. This signifies a move away from simply prescribing pain medication and toward empowering patients to reclaim control of their bodies and lives.

The opening of MoveWell PT coincides with a growing awareness of the importance of preventative healthcare. Rather than waiting until pain or injury occurs, many are now seeking proactive ways to maintain their physical well-being. Dr. Karsch's emphasis on education and personalized care aligns perfectly with this trend.

MoveWell PT is now accepting new patients. Appointments can be scheduled online at [ www.movewellpt.com ] or by calling 516-555-1212. The practice is poised to become a valuable resource for the Rockville Centre community, offering a fresh perspective on physical therapy and a commitment to helping individuals achieve optimal health and wellness.
