Physical Therapy Done Differently. Welcome to Joint Effort Movement Center, where we do physical therapy differently!

We are proud to offer specialized physical therapies that are rare to find anywhere else in Charleston: Postural Restoration and Functional Manual Therapy. It’s truly a joint effort between our practitioners and clients to collaborate on the best treatments that lead to success. Our clients often say that we’re REALLY good listeners. Joint Effort accepts Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tricare, and Aetna insurance for our PT services.

When something hurts, what’s your first move? 👀

▫️ Stretch it
▫️ Rest it
▫️ Push through
▫️ Google it (😅)

Here’s the thing...none of these are inherently wrong. But if pain keeps coming back, it’s usually a sign that your body is compensating somewhere else!

At JEMC, we don’t just ask where it hurts, we look at why it’s happening in the first place, so you’re not stuck in the same cycle over and over again.

👇 Tell us below: what’s usually your go-to?

That’s how Heather approaches every patient who walks through our doors. 🧩💜

In our newest blog post, she shares what first sparked her interest in physical therapy (𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘵: 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘺 👟) , how manual therapy shaped her career, and why she believes PT should always aim to get to the root of the problem, not just chase symptoms.

Heather brings curiosity, critical thinking, and a whole-body perspective to every session and it’s exactly why Functional Manual Therapy can feel different!

👉Shoulder pain can stem from ribcage positioning.
👉Low back pain often relates to hip control.
👉Knee pain frequently traces back to ankle mobility.

The body is connected which is why we don’t just treat the sore spot. 𝗪𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Still dealing with pain that keeps coming back, even after PT?

If you’ve done the exercises, rested, stretched, and followed the plan…but still feel stuck, it’s frustrating. And it’s more common than you think!

Pain isn’t just about one body part. It’s about how your whole system is moving, adapting, and compensating over time. 🤓

At Joint Effort, we take a deeper look at how your body is functioning so we can build a plan that supports real, lasting change, not just temporary relief.

You’re not broken. You just need an approach that sees the full picture.

Can your vision really affect your range of motion?

Meet Brad. With both eyes open and with just his right eye open, Brad can’t laterally flex his neck very well.

But when he closes his right eye and only has his left vision, he now has improved neck range of motion. WHAT?!

When we have over sensory dominance (not to be confused with simple eye dominance), it will affect where our brain perceives our “center” to be.

In the case of Brad- he is left eye dominant, but he is SENSORY dominant in his right eye and he is really, really dominant. So much that when both eyes are open, instead of both eyes putting input in to where center is, his right eye continues to do most of the work and keeps his center of gravity towards the right side.

For cases like this, we refer to Dr. Elyse DeWitt at Draisin Vision because she understands how vision affects how we perceive the world (and more importantly, how to correct it!)

New Year, New Deductible ✨

As we ring in 2026, a quick reminder that many insurance plans reset deductibles on January 1. That means your out-of-pocket costs may start fresh with the new year.

Not sure what that means for your care? We’re happy to help. Give us a call with any questions about your coverage and we’ll walk you through it. 💙
