Description

What if your fitness journey wasn’t about fixing, shrinking, or grinding… but about reclaiming joy in movement?


In this bold and empowering episode of PT Pintcast’s 6-Pack series, we sit down with Dr. Marcia Dernie (she/they)—a physical therapist, strength athlete, yoga teacher, and disabled Black creative—who’s rewriting the script on what movement can and should look like.


As the founder of @MoveWithMarcia and co-host of the @DisabledGirlsWhoLift podcast, Dr. Marcia brings a revolutionary lens to the PT world—focusing not on pathologizing bodies, but empowering them. In this episode, we unpack the harm of healthism, deconstruct the fitness industrial complex, and explore what it truly means to make movement accessible for every body.
