Hey There!

Cara Chow, DPT, CSCS, physical therapist in NYC

About Me

Hi, I’m Cara, a physical therapist and movement coach helping people move better, stay strong, and train with confidence. I graduated from New York University with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Chinese Language & Literature from Hunter College. My love for movement began in Shanghai, China, where I worked as a fitness instructor and later became a personal trainer. With a background in strength and conditioning, I combine evidence-based physical therapy with tailored movement and strength work.

​

I work with a range of clients, including:

  • Active adults maintaining health and mobility

  • Rehab-focused clients recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions

  • Post-rehab clients transitioning back to full activity

  • Athletes training for sport, fitness, or performance

 

I believe movement should feel functional, empowering, and enjoyable. Every plan I create is individualized to your goals, history, and lifestyle so you can train confidently and sustainably.

​

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me weightlifting, rock climbing, cooking, or seeking my next food and travel adventure.

​

Let’s work together to help you move better, feel stronger, and train with confidence.
