If you’ve tried traditional PT to get out of pain or gain movement and it hasn’t worked, then you’ve come to the right place.
​
At Joint Effort Movement Center, when we say we do physical therapy differently, we mean it.
We offer three unique specialties that are hard to find anywhere else in Charleston:
Postural Restoration (PRI) treats the body as an interconnected system, aligning muscles, bones, and respiration to improve core stability and reduce strain on muscles and joints.
Functional Manual Therapy (FMT) is a hands-on approach that blends manual therapy techniques with movement to reduce pain and improve your range of motion.
Pelvic Floor Therapy (PFT) improves women's health issues such as pelvic pain, incontinence, and sexual challenges through hands-on treatment, activity modifications, and exercises.
​
All three specialties are also in-network with insurance!

With mat-based Pilates, you get all the benefits of traditional Pilates without the need for equipment or the expense.
​
In our classes and one-on-one sessions, you use your body weight and props to support and guide your body through a low-impact, therapeutic workout.
​
It’s a safe form of exercise that can build strength, improve posture, reduce stress, and support the mind-body connection.
​
Emily, on our team, is a certified Pilates Instructor with close to a decade of experience working collaboratively with physical therapists.
