Dr. Kristin Dunn, PT, DPT, NCS

Dr. Kristin Dunn is a board-certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist (NCS) with over 10 years of experience providing highly individualized physical therapy for clients with complex neurologic conditions. At Private Care Therapies, she is known for her thoughtful, creative, and whole-person approach; helping clients move beyond “good enough” and toward the goals that truly matter to them.

Kristin specializes in neurologic physical therapy, working with individuals affected by conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS, vestibular and balance disorders, and other neurologic diagnoses. Her work focuses on restoring safety, confidence, and meaningful function, recognizing that progress is not always linear, and that each client’s journey is entirely unique.

A core belief guiding Kristin’s care is that physical and mental health cannot be separated. She approaches every client as a whole person, integrating physical rehabilitation with attention to cognition, emotional well-being, environment, and daily life demands. Rather than following rigid protocols, she adapts care to fit each individual’s goals, values, and lived experience - whether that means improving balance for uneven terrain, returning to travel, or safely navigating complex real-world environments.

Kristin is especially skilled in balance and vestibular rehabilitation, and she brings a high level of clinical reasoning to clients who have been told to accept limitations as inevitable. She is known for her creativity and problem solving, designing therapy that prepares clients for real life, not just the clinic. Her work often involves simulating challenging environments and movements so clients can build confidence and independence in the activities they care about most.

At Private Care Therapies, Kristin values the ability to provide care that is unrushed, deeply personalized, and free from arbitrary constraints. This model allows her to prioritize safety while still honoring individual choice; educating clients thoroughly, supporting informed decision-making, and partnering with them to achieve their personal definition of success.

Clients often describe Kristin as deeply attentive, highly knowledgeable, and unwavering in her belief that people are capable of more than they’ve been told. She brings both clinical precision and genuine compassion to every session, helping clients reconnect with their abilities and their independence.

At Private Care Therapies, Dr. Dunn provides personalized, in-home neurologic physical therapy, tailored to each individual’s condition, goals, and life. Because meaningful progress begins when care fits the person, not the other way around.
