Board-certified orthopedic specialist, Austin's most experienced TMD therapist, and the founder of a practice built on a simple conviction: patients deserve more than what the system gives them.
Priscilla Hall has spent over two decades practicing orthopedic outpatient physical therapy with a simple, unwavering conviction: the best outcomes come from thoughtful, hands-on care — delivered one-on-one, with undivided attention.
She graduated from the University of Texas and earned her Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) from Nova Southeastern University. Early in her career, a formative rotation introduced her to spinal and rib manual therapy techniques — skills she has since refined into a clinical signature that produces outstanding results for her patients.
Priscilla earned the Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) designation through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties — a credential held by fewer than 10% of practicing physical therapists. It reflects deep, tested knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and a commitment to clinical excellence.
Over the course of her career, Priscilla has accumulated considerable clinical experience treating Temporomandibular Dysfunction — a condition affecting tens of millions of Americans that is poorly served by most conventional care. Her approach combines specialized manual techniques with patient education and home management strategies, and many patients report significant relief after just a few sessions.
Believing that most physical therapy requires more than exercise, Priscilla pursued and earned her Certified Integrated Manual Therapist (CIMT) credential, deepening a skill set that forms the foundation of every treatment session. She subsequently trained in Functional Dry Needling and holds her Dry Needling certification (Cert-DN), which she uses selectively to accelerate recovery when appropriate.
Her most recent credentials — Manual Lymph Drainage Certification (MLD-C) and Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) — extend her practice into the treatment of post-surgical swelling, lymphedema, and complex inflammatory presentations. These certifications reflect specialized training in the lymphatic system and the gentle, technique-driven manual therapy that effectively treats it.
Priscilla founded her practice on the premise that patients deserve more than what large, corporation-run clinics can offer. The PJH Therapy Studio is built around unhurried, individualized treatment — where the therapist you meet at your first appointment is the same one who treats you every session, from evaluation to discharge.
"I believe most physical therapy requires more than exercise.— Priscilla James Hall, PT, MPT, OCS, CIMT, Cert-DN, MLD-C, CLT
The difference is in the hands — and in taking the time to use them well."
Priscilla's work is shaped by direct, lived experience with athletic training, injury, and recovery. The hours of training. The patterns of overuse and breakdown. The long road back from injury. These are not theoretical to her — and they inform how she evaluates, treats, and counsels patients pursuing their own physical goals.
