Core Jacksonville Services
Physical
Therapy
Our physical therapists begin with an evaluation that may include a series of tests to determine range of motion, muscle strength, postural alignment and abnormalities in movement patterns.
Pre & Post
Operation
Physical Therapy is frequently prescribed after surgery to address concerns about pain, mobility, flexibility, balance and muscle strength. Beginning the process prior to surgery can help expedite your recovery.
Manual
Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on style of physical therapy that involves evaluating and treating the musculoskeletal system for soft tissue and joint restrictions.
Cancer
Rehabilitation
Cancer changes everyone’s life. Start your physical therapy regimen before starting chemo and/or radiation, then continue after your cancer treatments are final for optimal results to get you back to your best you.
Success Stories
It was so great to have the option to continue my physical therapy at home! The online platform was easy to use and communication was great. I have a plan and feel empowered that I will grow stronger during these next few weeks of PT. The assessment, guidance and training is essential to me functioning at full health. I am looking forward to continuing my physical therapy at home via telehealth and am thankful that Laura and her staff are offering this service!
I love this place! I was referred here after my surgery from The Jacksonville Center for Reproductive Medicine and wow! I did not understand Physical therapy and what it could do for me. My therapist is so down to earth and amazing. I am recovering well and I am healthier and stronger than before. She even gives me home work and helps me to use my body and lift properly with my daily life. Especially with my special needs child. Thank you all! You have been a huge blessing!
I love this place and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed PT and had dreaded each time I had to go because of the pain but they helped me tremendously with special exercises and stimulation there at Smart Body.
I just want to say I was very Skeptical about going to PT for my issues but these people are Amazing! I was Embarrassed by my problems they made me feel so comfortable and relax to where i could understand how they would help me I’m still a working progress but I can see big difference! I tip my hat to all of the professional and staff there! Very friendly too!
Our Jacksonville Team
She first earned her Bachelor’s degree from Jacksonville University with a major in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Psychology. She earned her Masters degree in Physical Therapy from another private university, the University of St. Augustine, in January 1999. Furthering her manual therapy skills (or hands on treatment of soft tissue and joint mobilization), she received her Manual Therapy Certification (MTC), just a couple of years later.
Laura has specialized in the area of pelvic health, women’s and men’s health and spine since 1999. Her love for helping people suffering in these areas comes out of an unwillingness to accept the status quo and she often finds herself treating people with impairments they never thought possible to improve. Her approach to her clinical practice makes it obvious that she believes our bodies are brimming with life and potential. According to Laura, “There’s nothing that makes me happier than getting to see someone truly savor their life. It’s not just a tag line for our patients and our staff, it gets me out of the bed every morning to press forward helping those around me flourish into the best versions of themselves.”
Laura is doing her best to get the most out of her own life! When she’s not at the office treating patients, she loves to spend her time with her 3 children, exercising, fishing or outdoors.
Kayla fell in love with pelvic floor therapy because of how much it touches peoples’ lives on a personal level. She feels honored to help people through personal and delicate issues that they often don’t realize they can even change, and then witness the growth that happens with their enhanced ability to fully enjoy life again. It is her goal to help her patients be able to participate in the activities they most enjoy and, in fact, “savor life,” as our motto says.
In their spare time, Kayla and her husband enjoy fitness, bowling and softball.
Realizing the importance of nutrition and gut health in treating this population, she furthered her education with a master’s in clinical nutrition from Maryland University of Integrative Health. Her professional goal is to put her comprehensive expertise together to help patients and communities achieve optimum health. She feels that everyone can achieve a higher level of wellness and quality of life with the correct guidance. Catherine believes that when we are not feeling well, it’s never just one thing that has gone wrong; it is multifactorial. Having education in all areas of wellness allows her to focus on a holistic approach to healing: mind, body and spirit.
