About Us
We built something different, because you deserve better than what traditional physical therapy was offering.
When you walk in here, you are a person first and a client second.
Founder and CEO
- About the Practice
Born from a vision to put you first, not the insurance company
CJ Physical Therapy and Pilates was born out of a genuine need for change.
Dr. Carrie Jose, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and certified Pilates instructor, spent years working in busy, traditional outpatient clinics and grew frustrated watching her patients settle for less than they deserved.
Too much paperwork. Too little time. And an insurance system that made decisions that should have belonged to the patient. So she built something better.
A place where you are a human being first, with your own goals, your own life, and a team that genuinely cares whether you get back to doing what you love.
Years of Experience
of Problems Solved Without Surgery
Conditions Treated
Patients Back to Doing What They Love
- This is what real care feels like
Things don’t have to feel clinical and sterile. You can get expert healthcare in an environment that is warm, friendly, and puts you over everything else.
Truly one-on-one care
No cookie-cutter programs. No being passed off to an aide. Your session is with a specialist, focused entirely on you.
You're in control
No insurance company making decisions for you. Your goals, your timeline, your plan, built together with your specialist.
Root-cause results
We find what is actually causing your pain and build a plan to fix it for good, not just manage symptoms.
- The experience you actually deserve
From the big things like genuinely answering every question, to the little things like having a hot cup of coffee waiting for you. We have thought of it all.
Person first, client second
When you become a client here, you are seen as a human being with your own interests, concerns, and life, not just a chart number
Empowerment over quick fixes
We give you problem-solving strategies and education so you stay active and pain-free long after your sessions are done.
Family, not just patients
We consider every client family. Your experience, your recovery, and your ability to live fully, these things genuinely matter to us.
Expert care built around your life, not our schedule
We know that 90% of all musculoskeletal problems, including aches, pains, and strains, can be solved without medications, expensive procedures, or surgery. That belief shapes everything we do.
Our Vision
A world where active adults 40+ never have to choose between their pain and the activities they love. Where expert, individualized care is accessible, empowering, and focused on lasting results rather than quick fixes.
Our Mission
To deliver one-on-one physical therapy, Pilates-based rehabilitation, and regenerative therapy in an environment where you are truly known, genuinely cared for, and always in control of your health journey.
