About Me

My name is Joanna, but my patients call me Jojo.

I have a bachelors degree in clinical exercise science & a doctorate degree in physical therapy.

During PT school, I sought out opportunities and experiences in the pelvic specialty area and completed my doctoral project on the barriers keeping women from learning about and participating in pregnancy and/or postpartum PT.

I presented my research at the both the National Physical Therapy Combined Sections Meeting and Ghana Physiotherapy Association’s 3rd Biennial Scientific Conference.

As I began my career, I worked in an outpatient clinic with a split caseload between orthopedics and pelvic health. I spent my weekends attending courses around the U.S. to obtain additional training and certifications in pelvic and OB treatments. Within a short time, I was managing a full pelvic and OB caseload, and I loved doing my part to improve my patients’ quality of life every day - women, men, & pediatrics!

However, I wanted to do more. One of the most frequent pieces of feedback I received from my patients was how much they appreciated the education provided during their treatment sessions. Let’s be real for a minute - we don’t learn much about our abdomino-pelvic anatomy and physiology growing up. Taking time to explain the pelvis, how it functions for you throughout various daily activities, and what might not be working correctly to be causing the symptoms you’re having...? Well, now, that just makes sense! So here I am, just trying to share some of the information that I feel is so very important - because as I tell my patients all the time.. I want you to OWN YOUR PELVIS.
