Services
Housecall Physical Therapy
Our in-home physical therapy brings expert care directly to your doorstep. Certified therapists assess your environment to create personalized treatment plans using corrective exercises and movement therapy. This service eliminates travel stress while ensuring tailored interventions for spinal stabilization and joint mobility, ideal for patients with limited mobility or busy schedules.
Telemedicine Consultations
Access expert physical therapy through secure online sessions. Our telemedicine platform enables real-time guidance for exercise execution, posture correction, and progress monitoring. Covered by most insurance plans, this service offers flexibility for remote patients while maintaining continuity of care through digital tracking of movement pattern improvements.
McKenzie MDT Therapy
Specialized mechanical diagnosis and treatment for spinal and extremity pain. This evidence-based method identifies directional preferences to centralize pain, reducing symptoms through targeted movements. Our certified practitioners use McKenzie MDT to create self-treatment programs that prevent recurrence while minimizing reliance on passive treatments.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization
Neurodevelopmental approach to posture and movement correction. Based on developmental kinesiology, DNS activates optimal motor patterns to improve spinal stability and joint function. Our therapists use this technique to address chronic pain by restoring coordination between deep stabilizing muscles through specific positioning and movement exercises.
Nutritional Therapy
Bio-individual nutrition plans address root causes of systemic inflammation affecting musculoskeletal health. Our practitioners analyze health history to create sustainable dietary strategies that complement physical therapy outcomes. This integrative approach combines food-first interventions with lifestyle modifications to support tissue healing and prevent pain recurrence.

Smart Spine and Rehab is amazing practice. I have been working with Julia on some pelvic floor work and I have been so much better and stronger. They make it so flexible with home visits. I HIGHLY recommend this practice. I have learned so much from Julia already. Thank you for all you help!

Report
Julia is a literal godsend. I threw my back out right before I was supposed to move. It was a combination of stress and trying to reduce that stress with riding the peloton. The end result was severe pain and terrible feelings of guilt as now all the work of moving the family was going to be on my husband. Enter Julia, part chiro, part physical therapist, part emotional support system. With just one virtual appointment she got me up and walking in a few hours after I threw my back out. I didn't think it was possible. I could really trust Julia completely during a very freightening experience

Our entire family has been patients of Smart Spine. Julia is an INCREDIBLY capable, intelligent and amazing woman. She is full of knowledge about the body and educates us with passion. If we are in pain, she does her best to squeeze us into her already packed schedule. The exercises she gives us are practical and functional and have been relieving my back, neck, shoulder pains for YEARS! Im excited to continue working with Julia and getting conditioned so I can perform at top peak

Dr. Julia is incredibly knowledgeable. When we started I basically couldnt move and had constant pain down my leg. She worked with so well that I now walk 4-5 miles away pain-free! She explains everything and teaches you how to care for you. Can not recommend her enough
