Board-Certified Pelvic Health Physical Therapist ยท Natick, MA
Bridging the gap between pelvic health and orthopedic care
Joy helps people of all genders and ages feel strong, confident, and comfortable in their bodies again. Most clinics treat pelvic floor problems and orthopedic injuries separately, but the body doesn’t work that way. The pelvic floor works with the hips, low back, breathing, and core. A nagging back or hip injury sometimes has a pelvic floor piece, and pelvic symptoms often improve faster when the rest of the body is addressed too. Because Joy treats both, she can see and treat the whole picture.
Joy provides individualized, evidence-based care for:
- Pelvic health: pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and pregnancy and postpartum care
- Orthopedic injuries: low back pain and lower extremity injuries, including the hip, knee, ankle, and foot, plus running and sports injuries
- Children and athletes: including pediatric bladder and bowel concerns and return to sport
With more than 20 years as a physical therapist and a pelvic health specialty since 2014, Joy is Board-Certified in Pelvic Health Physical Therapy. Her approach focuses on movement, education, and empowerment, so patients feel capable in daily life, sport, work, and play.
Outside the clinic, Joy has run five marathons, competed in a solo Hyrox, and never turns down a walk with friends and family. She uses exercise to support her own physical and mental well-being; an approach she brings to every patient she sees.
