Meet Dr. Jo
Over fifty years ago, I began my journey as a physical therapist in a Level One Trauma Center, where I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of manual therapy. Through hands-on techniques, I’ve successfully treated chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, TMJ, scoliosis, and more.
This website is built around You Healing You—empowering you with Tips and Tools, expert Team Work, and insights for Special Populations and Caregivers & Families. Our Telehealth programs, designed with YOU in mind, provide personalized guidance, while Essential Reading offers the latest research and techniques to help you on your healing path.
I've been fortunate to teach internationally, develop Joseph Bodyworks, and work with experts like Dr. Gabi Zobel and Dr. Peter Pagano to further enhance my approach. My own experience raising a blind, hearing-impaired son has shown me that perseverance and a clear vision lead to exceptional outcomes—no matter the challenge.
You have the power to heal yourself. I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
