I learned about Joy from my trainer. I had been experiencing pain in my right leg for almost a year with little or no relief. I have severe osteosporis, arthritis and scar tissue from an old back surgery. After trying other physical therapy, pain pills, anti-inflammatories, and cortisone injections in my lower back I figured I had nothing to lose.
After just a few visits my pain is something of the past! Joy was able to help me turn my life from almost constant pain to being able to function in a manner I thought I would never experience again. Now I don’t wake up each morning hoping I can make it through the day.

“Joy offered instant relief to my hamstring! My leg had the feeling of an over-stretched rubber band. I could not get my legs to relax in order to stretch and loosen my hamstring. When Joy “opened up” the nerve, my leg instantly calmed down. I had a feeling of success. I now am able to stretch as I had in the past. I didn’t realize that I had to allow my leg to slowly progress, but it was so worth the wait.”
