About Amanda
​
Amanda Kumagai is a licensed physical therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting clients through myofascial and musculoskeletal movement challenges. She earned her degree in physical therapy from the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences in Rochester, Minnesota, in 2002. Since then, Amanda has dedicated her career to guiding individuals toward greater ease, balance, and confidence in their movement.
​
Amanda's interest in movement and physical health began early and has continued to evolve throughout her life. As a track athlete, she developed a strong curiosity about injury recovery and performance optimization, which inspired her to pursue a career in physical therapy. Amanda first earned her undergraduate degree in athletic training, deepening her understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and the body’s remarkable ability to adapt to training. This foundation led her to continue her studies in physical therapy, where she began building the expertise—and commitment to excellence and growth—that continues to shape her practice.
​
​Today, Amanda brings that same passion and curiosity to her practice. She has worked with clients across the lifespan—from teens recovering from sports injuries to adults navigating the effects of repetitive strain, aging, or musculoskeletal imbalances. Her extensive knowledge of the changes that occur in the musculoskeletal system over time enables her to meet each client where they are, with both expertise and understanding.
​​
Amanda’s approach is rooted in whole-body integration. She carefully examines each client’s unique needs and goals, guiding them step by step through a personalized process. Beyond hands-on therapy, Amanda equips her clients with knowledge and practical tools, empowering them to take an active role in their own care. She considers it a privilege to work side by side with clients—building awareness, restoring resilience, and supporting them as they pursue their individual movement goals.
