Pelvic Pride Physical Therapy & Wellness

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joy is a wonderful PT and business owner, she's constantly doing new things to improve her practice and to advocate for LGBTQ+ people in the field. She does her best to make sure her patients feel safe and comfortable, and is always happy to explain how the practice works. I feel super lucky to be able to be treated here!

Experiencia fantástica: I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Everyone at Pelvic Pride is a DELIGHT. I met Drs. Joy & Marlena at the Birth Fair in Patterson Park when I was ~7 months pregnant. I thought it was "too late" for pelvic PT but they assured me it's never too late. I saw Dr. Marlena up until delivery and then about 2 months postpartum when I realized things didn't automatically heal. Marlena was AMAZING. She let me bring the tiny human, rocking her stroller when she fussed and offering to hold her for me to complete my exercises. She made recordings of exercises when I couldn't remember them and had awesome hand outs. She never judged when I was honest that I didn't do my exercises and she made a point to figure out how I could easily incorporate them day to day. Sam was always helpful to schedule (and patient when I needed to adjust 5 times). I only had limited interaction with Dr. Joy online & around the office, but she was always friendly and warm. Also, their patient portal is SUPER easy to use, which is appreciated when trying to submit insurance claims! I would recommend Pelvic Pride to ANYONE needing pregnancy / postpartum support - and frankly, everyone should go!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! Life changing!

Experiencia fantástica: Joy is by far the best pelvic PT I have ever worked with. Not only is she understanding and approachable. She is by far the most knowledgable. After years of pain and different doctors/PT's she is by far the best. Not only a great PT but a great human. I highly recommend her treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Joy was fantastic!

Experiencia fantástica: Joy is wonderful. I would recommend her 10x over. Fantastic. A true miracle worker!

Experiencia fantástica: Pelvic PT with Dr.Joy is awesome. Dr.Joy makes environment feel very comfortable even though pelvic pt sounds intimidating. She provides great one on one healthcare compared to large commercial pt clinic. Dr.Joy is very knowledgeable about pelvic health providing great tips for overall pelvic health and became my pelvic healthcare advisor.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Pelvic Pride! A welcoming atmosphere, caring and affirming physical therapists, excellent communication and scheduling. Pelvic floor physical therapy can be an awkward experience but not with Dr. Joy! I not only receive care but refer and recommend it in my own professional practice. Lovely place, hope it continues to help our community here for a long time!

Experiencia fantástica: Pelvic pride goes above and beyond in their expertise, education, and providing a safe space. The atmosphere is welcoming and filled with hope. I would recommend Pelvic pride to anyone looking to level up in their pelvic health-- as its a foundation for so many things we don't think about!

Experiencia fantástica: At 77, I have been seeking help for pelvic floor problems since I was in my 40s. I have been to clinics, therapy providers, and other physiotherapists. From my first visit, at the urging of my JHH doctor, Pelvic Pride and Joy Noble helped me to understand that this is not the way “all women feel” and have learned how to move forward in several different ways, including PT, exercise, diet, and internal interventions. As i approach 78, i am far more comfortable in my body and know that when a problem arises, here is where I find solutions that are based on scientific research and proven best practice. Be aware that many practitioners present themselves as “pelvic floor therapists”. I know from my experiences that Pelvic Pride can produce results others could not.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joy is so great. She helped me get back to running safely postpartum and she’s now helping me prepare for my second child - from exercising safely to birth prep, she’s so knowledgeable and she’s kind. I genuinely look forward to my appointments!

Experiencia fantástica: I was in Baltimore for a short while and I needed a pelvic floor Physical Therapist. My legs and lower back were hurting and I was stressed and needed an education and support on how I could get a routine going and stay out of pain. Dr. Joy spent time with me and taught me A LOT of helpful techniques to rehabilitate my body from stress. she taught me some great tools for easing into stretching, which I have always hated doing. Her techniques are gentle and now I like book ending my days with yoga stretches. Everything she taught me was just what I needed to learn. Dr. Joy is kind and wise. Her office is also tranquil. I highly recommend going to see Dr. Joy to anyone who could benefit from pelvic physical therapy. I hope to get booked with her again, when I’m in Baltimore.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joy was a wealth of information regarding pelvic floor health. As other have stated, She is very personable & has a professional bedside manner. I appreciated her very caring & thorough assessment to approach my unique situation . Even one of the exams which can be invasive ( your choice) felt safe and clearly understood with her. She is such an amazing PT.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joy is an incredible wealth of holistic knowledge about niche pelvic floor health and connections to related bodily systems and disorders. Even better, she communicates all of this so well! She had a very personable & professional bedside manner and I particularly appreciated that she has a very thorough assessesment to approach me as a unique patient. Even exams which can be invasive felt safe and clearly understood with her. She is a great PT. My care of my body & pelvic floor has forever improved - thank you Dr. Joy and team!!

Experiencia fantástica: Reading reviews to find a great Pelvic Health doctor? Your search ends here. I have been a patient of Dr. Joy for a year now. Prior to meeting with her, I did not know there was such a thing as physical therapy for pelvic health. I have suffered with interstitial cystitis/pain and inflammation in the bladder area and scar tissue for 12 years. My urologist recommend Pelvic Pride PT, and although it was a 30-40 minute commute for me, I made that first appointment and am so happy I did. From the start, Dr. Joy put me at ease in a not so easy situation. She took the time to explain my issues in detail and worked on me and gave me beneficial exercises. She is exceptionally experienced, knowledgeable, kind and professional. Within 3-4 months I started to see improvement and a year later I continue to see her because I just feel better when I do. :)Treatments aside, conversations with Dr. Joy are always pleasant and makes the time go by so quickly. She provides a safe space and puts you at ease. The new location is a beautiful space with spacious treatment rooms and parking, a rarity in Baltimore. If you read this far, thank you. Take my word and make an appointment with this practice. Your pelvis will thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joy was a lifesaver! My regular PT recommended dry needling because I wasn't making the progress needed with massage and stretching alone. Dr. Joy turned everything around for me. Not only did I notice, but my regular PT was super impressed with the results. I had never done dry needling, but she made me feel safe and comfortable. She explained everything super clearly ahead of time, and always walks me through her actions during my sessions. I have nothing but good things to say.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Noble is the best and most amazing pelvic physical therapist!! I have visited other pelvic PT providers and have never experienced the degree of professionalism and warmth that Dr. Noble provides. She is the gold standard for trauma-informed, gender-affirming, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and mental health-conscious care. She is extremely intentional and thoughtful with her language, use of pronouns, how she asks questions, and how she develops treatment plans. She emphasizes consent and patient goals for each session. She is evidence-based and clearly an expert is pelvic health. She always checks in with what level of touch you are comfortable with that day and is very adaptable to your needs. She also always lets you know ahead of time exactly what she is going to do during the session and explains why it’s being done. She is very collaborative and will make you feel safe and secure throughout your work with her. I can’t recommend her enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Joy showed me the perfect balance between intellectual curiosity and compassion when addressing my pelvic floor health. I had a lot of fears surrounding my pelvic health and she helped me to work through them. Whether you are cis or trans, her medical knowledge and empathy sits at the same high standard for care. (Her office design is also cute af)

Experiencia fantástica: I felt completely safe and comfortable with Dr. Joy. She is kind, compassionate, and an expert in her field. You can feel how much she cares and actually listens when you speak your concerns. I am grateful that I found pelvic floor physical therapy and Dr. Joy. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Joy is absolutely amazing- really talked me off the ledge when I had prolapse after my second child. I had severe prolapse, where I got to visually see it and then was told at the hospital to just push it back up. I went from feeling it like a bulge and being so depressed over it, to not feeling it everyday and starting to feel life is back to normal- only took a couple months and keeping up with the prescribed exercises and squeezes. I didn’t think I would ever go back to “normal” but I’m so so happy I am- thank you so much dr joy!

Experiencia fantástica: I truly can’t put into words how much i love this business. Dr Marlena is the sweetest provider. She’s helped me physically and mentally. She’s always there. In such a short time she’s fixed so much! She is so knowledgeable and kind. The entire staff are so fun and sweet! I genuinely look forward to going to my appointments. They make PT so enjoyable. Dr joy is amazing! Always there to help me and reaches out constantly. This whole team really cares about their patients and it shows. I recommend them to everyone because they have helped me so much i want others to get that same care. I went from hopeless and this is just my life to a better quality of life. I recently had a hysterectomy and the entire team has been there to hold my hand through.

Experiencia fantástica: I have never felt such support from a doctor like i’ve felt from Joy and the staff at Pelvic Pride. The environment of Pelvic Pride feels very welcoming and supportive, I go into my appointment every week excited to see Joy and be able to talk to her like a good friend of mine, as someone who struggled with stress surrounding doctors offices and exams due to being in the health care system since I was five years old, Joy takes it day by day with me and has opened my eyes to realize that, this is my body and I get to decide what I am comfortable with and what I am not, depending on the day of the week. I highly recommend not just Joy Noble, but everyone in the office as a Physical therapist because they make such a caring, loving, environment surrounding your needs and what makes you comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: I have suffered with pelvic pain for 12 years. Joy has been my educator, advocate and physician. I can not express my gratitude and total satisfaction for the treatment I have received at Pelvic Pride Physical Therapy and Wellness.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough great things about Joy Noble DPT. She is welcoming and knowledgeable, and I look forward to each appointment knowing I’ll receive great care and leave with the tools needed to continue my healing journey.

Experiencia fantástica: I am so thankful that I decided to see Joy after my second pregnancy. She helped me understand everything that was going on. I felt comforted and enlightened after that first session. Working with her helped improve many aspects of my life, and I feel stronger and healthier from the time I spent with her, as well as from the exercises she gave me. I cannot say enough good things about Joy!

Experiencia fantástica: Joy has helped me so much. She's the reason I got a second opinion when my doctor was recommending me for a hysterectomy. She introduced me to a wonderful online platform that helped me find an endometriosis excision doctor. She's also helped me with my endometriosis symptoms as well as a nagging neck issue that I've had for many many years. I cannot recommend her services enough.
