I aim to make our office a safe, positive, and motivating space. I believe through building relationships with clients and their families that we will be able to provide the most unique, personal, and productive experience for all involved. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over a decade of experience and expertise in orthopedics and manual therapy, my goal is to keep you moving and working toward your goals.
Like the wise Martin Luther King Jr. once said, If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. I am not a healer that claims to perform a magical "cure, " but as your physical therapist I can be your coach, your counselor, your cheerleader, your navigator, your educator and most importantly your healthcare ally who listens and cares.

By Molly Gries, PT, DPT Painful periods, heavy bleeding and fertility problems are not typical topics of casual conversation, but did you know that these symptoms can be caused by endometriosis?
Physical Therapists (PTs) are too often identified by what we do, not by what we know as professionals. Although public recognition for physical therapist practice methods and outcomes is essential, understanding that PTs achieve these outcomes through clinical reasoning and practice that emanates from a distinct body of knowledge is crucial to expanding our professional identity.
We are now offering Telehealth to provide an option to work with your Doctor of Physical Therapy from the comfort and safety of your home. In the future, we can use this option to check in with us between appointments or during extended periods of travel. This is a great option for you to continue to receive premium care from your PT!

This place is awesome and Erin was amazing to work with! I'm a non-competitive power lifter and she helped me address some imbalances that were causing pain and improper movement patterns. She was a great listener and really helped me find strategies that worked for me.
The location is also well equipped with bars and squat rack which I really appreciated as I was able to actually work under load and see the differences between bodyweight vs my loaded movements.

I have been going to Movement Systems for the last 12 years for everything from an extreme ankle sprang to golfer's elbow to herniated disc to back surgery recovery. The owner Carrie Hall is one of the best therapists in Seattle. She has written PT textbooks and would regularly have medical school interns following her around. Although, she is in high demand, never fear as she hires the best therapists. Enter Erin Ward, Doctor of Physical Therapy is testament to this fact. Erin is fantastic; she is one of the smartest and skilled therapists that I have ever worked with. She regularly performs the

I presented here with knee pain during steep hiking. My PT Erin went over my symptoms and goals with me and we worked through exercises in our sessions and for me to do at home. We discussed the biomechanics of what was causing my knee pain and how we could mitigate it with strengthening the affected area and supporting muscles. Luckily we managed to resolve my symptoms before a big hiking trip I had planned. Thanks, Erin!!

Erin is an amazing physical therapist - she takes time to really listen, she explains the purpose of the exercises, she gives clear instructions, and she is always so encouraging. I leave my appointments encouraged by the movement possibilities I am working towards, rather than dwelling on my limitations. I highly recommend her and the whole team at Movement Systems Physical Therapy!

I have been coming for years for various ailments. Every experience has been amazingly helpful. My latest appointments have been with Erin as she has been assisting me with physical therapy for my broken kneecap. I am in a walking brace. She has worked with me to prepare me for the days ahead when I will be able to walk without the brace again. There are so many things I can do to make that day more successful. Some things I can do to make a difference in how well I will be able to move, walk, bike, etc. I am a delighted patient!
