Hello, I'm Joanna.

Welcome! I’m a pelvic health physical therapist passionate about raising the standard of inclusive care. I studied at Wake Forest University and Washington University in St. Louis, hold certification from the Postural Restoration Institute, and am an APTA Board-Certified Specialist in Women’s Health Physical Therapy.

​

My approach applies broad evidence to individual care, shaped by mentorship from leading institutions and experts such as the Neuro-Orthopedic Institute, Aspetar Sports Hospital, and clinicians including Diane Lee, Linda-Joy Lee, Julie Wiebe, and Susan Clinton. I also mentor new therapists, teach as adjunct faculty at Thomas Jefferson University, review APTA board applications, and peer-review for the Journal of Women’s and Pelvic Health.

​

In practice, I prioritize education and collaboration, helping patients understand their bodies and build confidence in managing symptoms. To restore resilience, improve long term function, treatment often combines graded movement, targeted exercise, and manual therapy techniques, such as myofascial release, dry needling, joint and soft tissue mobilizations, visceral mobilization, craniosacral therapy, cupping and active release technques, .
