Fantastic experience: Loved the Pilates class with Emily

Fantastic experience: I have been going to many physical therapist for at least 40 years. I have never found anyone as knowledgeable or caring as Courtney. I have been working with Courtney for about five years now and watching her, not only grow in her knowledge of physical therapy, but watching her grow her business train her staff is beyond amazing. If you need physical therapy, she is the one to call for sure and her staff is absolutely incredible

Fantastic experience: They are awsome and lovely.

Fantastic experience: Today was my 2nd appointment with Dr Courtney Stearn, she is very knowledgeable and has a great approach to PT. This practice is not your typical PT scenario. You’re time with her or the staff is 1 on 1! You‘ll see results faster, I have.

Fantastic experience: Courtney is an absolute Godsend. Having struggled with knee swelling and pain for 6 weeks, I had 3 visits with Courtney and she got right to the problem and with a few simple at-home exercises my knee pain was gone! I have used Courtney's services in the past with the same great results.Highly recommend Courtney and this practice!

Fantastic experience: Jenny is amazing. I am so glad I found her because she is so knowledgeable about the physiology of the body and no one knows how to massage those painful kinks like she does. Yay! I had been going to her at a previous massage place and this was my second time at Joint Effort. her massage room is peaceful with a wonderful aroma and relaxing music and I felt great after the massage...no back pain for several days. I plan on going once/month and adding Pilates and acupuncture to the mix in hopes of gaining in hopes of eradicating this chronic back pain.

She is so knowledgeable, personable, professional, and competent. Her method of realigning and strengthening my body is exactly what I have been searching for!

Fantastic experience: Gina is very knowledgeable on treating hEDS patients which is what I have along with a rare degenerative brain disease. Her methods address what is at the core of the problem my neurosurgeon referred me to her in the first place. I was originally referred for chronic neck and back pain due to cranial cervical instability because of my hEDS. I have already seen huge results in only 4 sessions with her.

Fantastic experience: If I haven’t already written a review for them, shame on me! Because they are that good. Gina is a genius! She’s focused, compassionate and detail oriented. Don’t be fooled by her young looks. She’s done her homework, and if you’re smart, you’ll do your homework too! Follow her guidance and you’ll be on the road to recovery in no time.

Fantastic experience: I have chronic lower back pain & scoliosis and was referred for Physical Therapy. I had a great session with Dr. Gina today. She took the time for a quick anatomy lesson to explain what is going on with me & how the therapy will help. As I practice this week I will hear Dr Gina say: "Candace, take a deep breath, now press your heels down gently. Do you feel those "hams"? As you breathe out, press your lower back against the mat. Good. Relax. Do it again." Thanks for a great workout. Not too hard. Not too easy. Just right!

Fantastic experience: Joint Effort Movement Center is absolutely fantastic! I’ve had many experiences with physical therapists over the years and this was by far one of the most positive, warm and insightful, even on just my first meeting with Gina and Courtney.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Jenny is an incredible massage therapist. I think today’s massage might be the best massage I’ve ever had. If you haven’t met Jenny, you need to book an appointment.

Fantastic experience: Courtney has been successful in recognizing and moving my pelvis, hips and shoulders back to neutral, an accomplishment other specialists in those fields were not able to do. Aging causes compensations by the body which need to be addressed sooner than later. I feel much better since we started working together!

Fantastic experience: Courtney really helped my low back pain. She took a different approach than my previous 2 therapists. My sciatica is much better and my pelvic /core health is better. I’m playing golf with minimal issue. She is enthusiastic and really enjoys her work. If needed, I will gladly use her again.

Fantastic experience: Before going to see Courtney, my lower back was so tight that bending over to tie my shoes was painful and required a great deal of effort. Courtney immediately identified the problem - my pelvis. After doing just a couple of basic stretches and exercises my mobility increased and my pain decreased. As we progressed, I learned to use my pelvis correctly and enjoyed being mobile again. If you have pain - go see Courtney!!

Fantastic experience: Best experience at Physical Therapy ever. Courtney promised me no pain and was true to her word. The techniques she uses to strengthen your diaphragm work fast. After two visits and homework, I’m already noticing improvement. She’s personable and the hour flies by as you’re working. Looking forward to my next visit.

Fantastic experience: Working with Courtney and Joint Effort Physical Therapy has really changed my life! I have suffered with lower back pain for several years and it has affected my daily life and passion of horseback riding. I had exhausted my options with doctors, injections and medications with no real results. I have been working with Joint Effort Physical Therapy for a few weeks and I am finally able to move again and live a much more comfortable life. Courtney was able to identify the problem areas, target specific muscle groups and work to get my body and breathing in balance. She is extremely knowledgeable, fun and passionate about her work.
