Our team

PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Ann Kaminski, MPT, OCS, CFMT

I’m Ann.  I believe movement is life.  I believe that you have untapped potential and that together we can meet and exceed your goals.  I love helping connect the dots and explain things in ways that make sense.  I want to help you avoid expensive MRIs, injections, pain medications or invasive surgeries.  I thrive in the challenge of helping people when other therapies have fallen short.

My treatments are focused on three areas:

  • Improving your mobility with hands on treatment of muscle, fascia and joints

  • Improving strength with hands on techniques to help inhibited muscles, progressive exercises and detailed home program

  • Detailed education on posture and how to change patterns of movement.

I tell people I’m kind of like an aggressive massage therapist, a gentle chiropractor, a personal trainer and an ergonomic/movement specialist, all-in-one. My manual skills, my 20+ years of experience, extensive training, and my intuition are what set me apart.  I would love to hear your story, and would be honored to be your go-to provider to keep your body moving.

When not having fun treating clients, I love cycling, running, yoga, cooking, learning new things, and spending time outdoors with my family in St Paul.
