Hello, I'm Joanna.

Welcome! I’m a pelvic health physical therapist committed high quality to helping people move, feel, and live in ways that bring them joy..  I received by Doctor in Physical Therapy degree from Washington University in St. Louis, hold certification from the Postural Restoration Institute, and recognized as an APTA Board-Certified Specialist in Pelvic and Women’s Health Physical Therapy.

​

My approach applies broad evidence to individual care, shaped by mentorship from leading institutions and experts such as the Herman and Wallace, Pelvic Rehab Institute, 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 and improve long term function, treatment often combines graded movement, specifically prescribed exercise, and manual therapy techniques, such as myofascial release, trigger point dry needling, joint and soft tissue mobilizations, visceral mobilization, craniosacral therapy, cupping and active release technques.

​

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy reading on our West Philly porch, running in the Woodlands or along the Schuykill, living life with my husband, three children, and neighbors.
