Dr. Joy was there for me pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and postpartum. She not only worked me with and my body, but she shared so much knowledge that helped me understand my body better. Which was especially important and meaningful durning pregnancy. I felt so comfortable and cared for by her. I HIGHLY recommend her for pelvic floor, pregnancy and postpartum work. read more

I saw Joy throughout my second pregnancy, and my only regret is that I didn't see her for my first! She is so knowledgeable and helpful about all things birth prep and postpartum care; she gives you the personalized attention and care that is necessary for pregnancy. I attribute my quick and efficient delivery, and postpartum recovery to the work she did with me. I would go to her again in a heartbeat for my next pregnancy! read more

Dr. Joy changed gave me back quality of life while pregnant and postpartum and I'm SO thankful!! Everyone should go see her. By the end of my first trimester and beginning of second trimester, I was suffering with horrendous back pain. By 1pm I could no longer stay on my feet for more than a few minutes without a break. By 4pm every single day my back would "lock up" and I couldn't get my legs to move to walk. So I would crawl to use the bathroom. And crawl to the kitchen to feed my toddler. I thought this was normal pregnancy stuff and wrote it off as me being 39 (an old pregnant lady). Then my wonderful midwife, Chavah, recommended Dr. Joy. Within 3 days of seeing her I had my life back! Zero back pain. Zero mobility issues. She has an app and uploaded some stretches for me, and I'm telling you they changed my life. I once skipped them for a little over a week because life got busy and I just kinda forgot about them. And the back pain came back, I slowly lost mobility and couldn't twist as well, I experienced sharp pelvic pain, and found myself spending more time in bed. Then I met with Dr. Joy again and she got me loosened up again and reminded me to do the stretches at home. Zero issues after that. The entire pregnancy I was able to stay active playing with my toddler, and doing everything to keep the household running smoothly and it was EASY! I felt great! Pregnancy no longer stopped me from living normal life. I had no idea that was even an option for me. I wish I knew Dr. Joy during my first pregnancy. Okay, some details I appreciate about her: she always talked to my baby and was SO respectful and kind. I felt so safe with her. She would gently put her hands on my tummy to feel the position of the baby and I felt absolutely confident my baby was in good hands. I trust her. I brought my rowdy toddler to every single appointment and he was able to chill on the sofa or play with hot wheel cars she kindly provided. it's very family friendly! Eventually we needed to do some delicate interior work, and Dr. Joy had a great setup in a private room that preserved my modesty while still allowing my toddler to be in the room with me. Which was totally a personal choice! My point is that she can accommodate your preference and make you feel as safe and comfortable as you need, even if your hormones are making you crazy and you can't stand the thought of leaving your toddler with a babysitter. If you've never been to a pelvic therapy session and don't know what to expect: the first half of my sessions I laid on a massage table and Dr. Joy basically observed the damage before giving me a tune up, haha! She methodically checked from my neck to my toes for muscle tightness or soreness and worked on those areas, listening carefully to my loooong list of complaints. Then during the second half of our session, she would guide me through stretches and simple exercises (cat-cow, lunges, twists, squats, etc.) and adjust them to my needs that week. Then she would update the movements in the app so I knew exactly what to do at home between appointments. She also gave me so many useful product recommendations from supportive clothing, to lotions and oils, to supplements, and so much more. She literally had a solution for every issue that popped up. Craving a relaxing massage and facial? she knows the perfect person. Found yourself snoring at night and not sleeping well? She helped me find a myofascial specialist which resulted in achieving the best sleep of my life. I ended up having an elective c-section and Dr. Joy came to my house for appointments while I recovered! she gently inspected my incision, massaged my uterus, and manually helped my organs go back to the right places, helped me with belly binding (because that's something I wanted to do) and made some great product recommendations for that as well. She even told me about supplements to help balance the crazy postpartum hormones. Later on she massaged my scar and helped it heal faster and better. My husband finally saw what a wealth of knowledge she has, and now he's a loyal client, too! He has chronic back pain from breaking his back 12 years ago and she has been able to help massively with that. I think part of what makes her so effective is she really takes the time to think and analyze each person. She figures out WHY the problem exists and solves the root issue. If you're planning to get pregnant, are pregnant or postpartum, perimenopausal or menopausal, go see her!! The only regret you will have is not seeing her sooner. read more

Highly recommend this practice! Joy took the time to provide such specialized care for me throughout both of my pregnancies. She is a wealth of knowledge and has incredible resources through her online portal, providing detailed videos and treatments on issues such as pelvic girdle pain, breech positioning, and ultimately just preparing my body for vaginal birth. I felt at such ease after each appointment with her and cannot recommend her enough to all expecting mamas! read more

Dr. Joy is a top notch pelvic floor physical therapist - but she is so much more. She actively keeps up on the latest research and developments in pelvic floor therapy and women's health and pursues additional training in areas of prenatal and postpartum care from leading experts in the field. She has utilized MANY different modalities of treatment based on my specific needs as an individual patient (which she has even changed up as I progressed through pregnancy and now into postpartum) and spends an hour with me for each appointment. She is a fellow mom who has recently delivered babies of her own and walked through recovery, which allows her to be refreshingly relatable and to build exercise plans and goals that are doable as a busy mom. She is deeply invested in seeing patients heal and strengthen - and it shows! I just delivered my fifth baby and have seen at least five different pelvic floor physical therapists over the years, and Dr. Joy is hands down the BEST I have seen. My labor, delivery, and recovery were incredibly smooth, and I think the PT I did with Dr. Joy had everything to do with that - working on strengthening my core, opening things up for birth, breaking up previous scar tissue, helping assess baby's position and make adjustments to optimize her position leading up to birth, and even practicing correct breathing and labor techniques allowed me to go into labor and delivery feeling fully prepared and confident. We are SO blessed to have such an excellent provider in our city - if you are considering seeing her - DO IT. I think you'll find it well worth the investment of time and money! read more

I was looking for a pelvic floor therapist through my insurance to treat diastasis recti (ab separation) and other pelvic floor issues I have had post-partum. Unfortunately, all the physical therapists in network with my insurance had long wait times and/or were far away. I was very excited when I found Joy; her office is right around the corner from my home! Joy is friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and provides quality professional care! Scheduling a consultation on her website is really easy and using her app for doing exercises at home is really helpful. Joy provides clear and concise super bills that are easy to submit to insurance for reimbursement. I am very thankful for her services and I have seen a dramatic improvement in my physical state. Thank you so much, Joy! read more

I went to see Joy with my second pregnancy after I began to experience some round ligament pain, SPD pain and sciatic nerve pain. I was I'm a nurse so the discomfort was really interfering with my ability to get work done (both at work AND at home chasing around my toddler ). After ONE visit with Joy, I learned ways to strengthen my core and by the following week , my pain had gone down by about 90%. Prenatal, postpartum, moms!!! Go see her -Christie M. RN, BSN read more

I'm so glad I was referred to see Joy before and after delivery! My labor and recovery was so much easier because of the exercises she prescribed. Joy is eager to find solutions to any problem that's arising and is very trustworthy and calming. Her manual therapy is truly a gift! read more

Joy is everything I was looking for in a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist when I was struggling with my strength and recovery during postpartum. Pelvic floor therapy is personal, but Joy made me feel comfortable from the first evaluation. Her evaluation was extremely thorough without any detail left unnoted. I was not aware of how much of my body was being affected by pelvic floor dysfunction until Joy helped me. Not only does she explain how to do the exercises, but she explained why I was doing them. She also equips her patients with the knowledge to continue to strengthen their pelvic floors even beyond therapy. After only a couple sessions with her, I could see significant improvement. If you need pelvic floor therapy or think you may need it, I highly recommend seeing Joy! read more

Highly recommend!!! read more

I was referred to Joy from my pre/post natal chiropractor and couldn't have been in better hands.

Joy has been instrumental for our family. First with my toddler son when he was learning to walk and having difficulty because of some foot alignment issues, and then for myself both during pregnancy and postpartum. Her knowledge of the female body and what we go through during pregnancy is very thorough and was a big part of my strong recovery postpartum. I wish this kind of care and attention came standard! read more
