ABOUT US
We Started Momentum Because We Wanted to Do Things Differently.
Momentum began with a shared belief — there had to be a more meaningful way to practice physical therapy.
Amy Schoenberg and Kristin Mohr met at Simmons University in Boston while studying physical therapy. We shared a love of science, movement, and understanding of how the body works. As we began our careers, we realized how important it was to have the time to think carefully, explain what we were seeing, and build genuine relationships with the people in our care.
In traditional clinical settings, we often wished we had more time to do those things well. We wanted to create a practice where thoughtful clinical care and meaningful patient relationships could go hand in hand.
In 2010, we turned that vision into Momentum Physical Therapy. Now more than 25 years into our careers, we bring a depth of experience shaped by continued learning, clinical practice, and the relationships we’ve built with our patients. The original belief that brought us together continues to guide our work today.
A Career of Learning and Growing
Our education at Simmons gave us a strong foundation, but we have always believed that becoming better physical therapists means staying curious, asking questions, and continuing to learn.
Throughout our careers, we have pursued advanced education in orthopedics, manual therapy, and sports performance. We were particularly influenced by Dr. Shirley Sahrmann and her colleagues at Washington University in St. Louis and their Movement System Impairment (MSI) approach. This framework helped shape how we think about the relationship between movement patterns and pain, and the importance of recognizing how the way a person moves may contribute to their symptoms.
Our learning has continued beyond traditional orthopedic practice. Through continuing education with Dr. Perry Nickelston of Stop Chasing Pain, we have broadened our understanding of the lymphatic, circulatory, and nervous systems, and their roles in movement and recovery.
We have also served as regional mentors for Washington University’s Movement System Impairment Fellowship Program, helping other physical therapists develop their clinical skills.
Together, these experiences continue to inform our clinical reasoning and remind us to remain open to new perspectives.
Our Patients Have Shaped Us
Over the years, we've had the privilege of caring for people through injuries, illnesses, important milestones, and many of life's changes. We've watched patients reach goals they weren't sure were possible and celebrated progress that meant something far beyond the clinic.
One of the most rewarding parts of our work is the lasting relationships we've built with our patients. Many return to us whenever they need care, while others recommend us to family and friends. We're grateful for the trust they place in us and never take for granted the opportunity to be part of their lives.
Our patients have reminded us that there's always more to a person than what brings them into the clinic. Getting to know them as individuals, understanding what matters to them, and sharing in their progress are among the most meaningful parts of our work.
Meet Amy & Kristin
Amy Schoenberg, MSPT
Co-Founder & Physical Therapist
Amy earned her Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences from Simmons University in 1996, followed by her Master’s in Physical Therapy in 1998.
Her path to physical therapy began when a shoulder injury as a young competitive racquetball player led her to seek treatment. She gained firsthand appreciation for how rehabilitation could help someone return to the activities they love, sparking a lasting interest in the human body and ultimately shaping her career.
Having experienced physical therapy herself and navigated health challenges of her own, Amy brings a strong personal perspective to her work. She understands the uncertainty, vulnerability, frustrations, and triumphs that come with being a patient. These experiences have deepened her empathy and reinforced the importance of listening to each person, understanding what matters to them, and helping them feel supported and empowered throughout their recovery journey.
Away from Momentum, Amy enjoys watching Boston sports, gardening, spending time on the Cape, and taking on challenging wooden puzzles.
Kristin Mohr, MSPT
Co-Founder & Physical Therapist
Kristin earned her Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences from Simmons University in 1999, followed by her Master's in Physical Therapy in 2001.
Growing up in upstate New York, Kristin developed a love of sports that continued through college, where she played both basketball and soccer at Simmons. Her interest in athletics and science naturally led her to physical therapy, combining those interests with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
Kristin especially enjoys the clinical challenge of working with people who have tried physical therapy before without finding the results they hoped for. She enjoys looking at a problem from different angles, asking questions, and exploring new ways to help people move forward. One of the most rewarding parts of her work is seeing a patient accomplish something they once thought was out of reach. Those moments of progress continue to remind her why she chose this profession.
Outside of Momentum, Kristin enjoys gardening, spending time on the Cape, discovering new restaurants, and cooking.
Meet Stacy
Stacy Hayward
Patient Care Administrator & Billing Manager
Stacy has been an integral part of Momentum since 2014. As the first person patients often speak with when they call or meet when they walk through our doors, she plays an important role in shaping their experience from the very beginning. Whether she's helping patients get started, answering questions about insurance and billing, or guiding them through the administrative side of care, Stacy brings years of experience and a welcoming, personal touch to her work.
Before joining Momentum, Stacy held administrative positions with American Optical, Tel Plus Communications, and The Mendon Country Gift Barn. She received her administrative training through Cape Cod Community College and Bentley University.
Outside the office, Stacy enjoys spending time with her family - especially her 6 grandchildren, cooking, gardening, traveling, exercising, and watching sports.
