we understand your body
Getting older sucks sometimes. Things get stiff, achy, and you start making noises in places you shouldn't. Maybe you keep a bottle of ibuprofen fully stocked in your home at all times. Maybe you feel like you are getting shorter and no matter how much you "stand up straight," it just doesn't work. Maybe you stretch, and stretch, and stretch some more, and the tightness NEVER goes away.
​
These are just some things our clients say to us all the time. And we know exactly how to help you.
Our full-body, integrated, approach to treatment allows us to connect dots that other practitioners miss. Regardless of where your issue lies, we assess you from head to toe, get the right treatment for you, and help guide you to a better place than when you walked in.

FROM OUR CLIENTS
BRETT M.
I have been to many physical therapists, but Courtney is different. She does things with compassion, and she does her homework. She follows through to check up on you and she cares. As someone who has had lots of surgeries and lots of physical therapy, if any of you think you have a spine, neck, or any joint problem I would definitely recommend giving her a call. Things that I always thought were my spine or neck were actually my rib cage, obliques, hamstrings, and back muscles. As far as endorsing someone give her 100.

Gina got to the root of my problem feeling pain when I walk. Turns out there are many differnet factors that affect the way we move and she gave me exercises to balance out all of those things!

​If you have tried PT for your injury before and have been disappointed with the results, give Joint Effort a try. I've been struggling with pain from a running related injury for almost 10 years. I have given up on being able to run again so many times, I lost count. I tried Joint Effort at the suggestion of a massage therapist. I was sure I'd be disappointed again, but it seems I am finally making progress in the right direction. Their approach is unlike any I've tried before. They are so much more focused on not only how you are doing the exercises, but the muscle groups you can feel yourself engage while performing them. I'm not back to running yet, but I am comfortably walking more than twice as far as I was 6 months ago. I'm so happy I found them!
