Kaitryn Pellani-Pitcairn, PTA, NASM-CPT &Owner – BetterFit Wellness Studio
Kaitryn Pellani-Pitcairn is a Physical Therapist Assistant and NASM Certified Personal Trainer dedicated to helping people move better, feel stronger, and live without pain. She utilizes principles from Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), a rehabilitation approach developed by the Prague School of Rehabilitation that retrains the movement control centers of the brain to restore the body’s foundational motor patterns. Learn more about DNS here.
A 2018 graduate of the Physical Therapist Assistant program at Harcum College, Kaitryn’s passion for movement began in an outpatient physical therapy setting, where she specialized in pelvic floor dysfunction. She quickly realized her interest lay not in passive adjustments, but in teaching clients how to move properly and understand the deep connections between seemingly unrelated symptoms and the body’s movement systems.
Her curiosity and drive led her to advanced anatomy studies under Dr. Kathy Dooley, MSc, DC, and Dr. Anna Folckomer, MsTom, DAOM, through Immaculate Dissection.
For over a decade, Kaitryn owned and operated CrossFit Huntingdon Valley, where she combined strength training principles with an eye for movement quality. This experience sharpened her ability to align client goals with long-term movement health. Today, through BetterFit Wellness Studio, she integrates her background in physical therapy, anatomy, and strength coaching to help clients achieve their goals on a stable foundation of functional, efficient movement.
Looking ahead, Kaitryn is completing her biology prerequisites with the goal of earning her Doctorate in Acupuncture, expanding her ability to integrate Eastern and Western wellness approaches.
