Physical Therapy Services · NW Austin
Specialized services,
delivered personally.
Every session is one-on-one with Priscilla — no aides, no assistants. Treatment is hands-on, individualized, and focused entirely on your recovery.
Core Specialty
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
The orthopedic approach Priscilla built over many years as owner of Integra Physical Therapy in Pflugerville carries forward here: comprehensive, individualized care that goes beyond generic protocols. Whether you're managing an acute injury, post-surgical recovery, or a long-standing musculoskeletal condition, every treatment plan begins with a thorough evaluation and ends with you returning fully to the activities you love.
Treatment draws on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and functional movement — always calibrated to where you are and where you need to be.
- Post-surgical rehab
- Joint pain
- Shoulder & hip injuries
- Knee & ankle conditions
Signature Specialty
TMD / TMJ Therapy
Temporomandibular Dysfunction affects an estimated 35 million Americans — and very few physical therapists are trained to treat it well. Priscilla brings over two decades of specialized TMD experience, using manual therapy techniques that produce results many patients notice immediately after the first session.
As a private-pay practice, treatment begins whenever you're ready — no referral needed to start, no prior authorization, no waiting on insurance. Book your evaluation online whenever you're ready.
Common symptoms treated include jaw clicking or locking, chronic headaches, neck and ear pain, teeth sensitivity, jaw clenching, and difficulty chewing or speaking.
- Jaw pain & clicking
- Jaw locking
- TMJ headaches
- Neck & ear pain
- Bite alignment issues
Foundation of Care
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is not a supplement to treatment — it is the treatment. Priscilla is a Certified Integrated Manual Therapist (CIMT), having completed rigorous postgraduate training in joint mobilization, soft tissue techniques, and spinal & rib manual therapy.
The belief is simple: expert hands applied with precision accelerate healing in ways that exercises alone never can. Every session includes meaningful hands-on work tailored specifically to your presentation that day.
- Joint mobilization
- Soft tissue release
- Spinal & rib techniques
- Myofascial release
- Cupping
Specialized Care
Spine Rehabilitation
Back and neck pain are among the most common — and most undertreated — conditions in physical therapy. At PJH Therapy Studio, spine care combines the latest evidence-based techniques with Priscilla's specialized manual therapy training for safe, efficient recovery.
Treatment addresses the root cause of spinal dysfunction, not just symptom management, pairing hands-on manual work with therapeutic exercises that build lasting stability and prevent recurrence.
- Low back pain
- Cervical spine
- Disc injuries
- Postural dysfunction
- Spinal stenosis
Advanced Technique
Trigger Point Dry Needling
Trigger Point Dry Needling (also called Intramuscular Manual Therapy) uses fine filament needles to deactivate trigger points — hyperirritable spots within muscle tissue that cause referred pain, restricted range of motion, and weakness.
Priscilla holds a Dry Needling certification (Cert-DN) and incorporates this technique when it will meaningfully accelerate a patient's recovery. It is often used alongside manual therapy for synergistic effect, reducing pain and improving tissue mobility in a way that manual work alone may not achieve.
- Myofascial pain
- Trigger point release
- Muscle tightness
- Referred pain patterns
Women's Health
Prenatal & Postpartum Care
Pregnancy places extraordinary demands on the body — and the right physical therapy can make those months significantly more comfortable. Priscilla treats soon-to-be and recent mothers with a full complement of tools, including a prone pregnancy pillow for safe treatment positioning.
Manual therapy, targeted exercises, and dry needling (when appropriate) are used to address the aches, pains, and musculoskeletal shifts that come with pregnancy — from pelvic girdle pain and low back discomfort to rib pain and postpartum recovery.
- Pelvic girdle pain
- Low back & rib pain
- Postpartum recovery
- Round ligament pain
Swelling & Lymphedema
Manual Lymph Drainage & Lymphedema
Swelling that lingers after surgery or injury can hold back everything else in recovery. Manual lymph drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic hands-on technique that helps move excess fluid through the lymphatic system — very different from deep tissue work.
Priscilla holds Manual Lymph Drainage certification (MLD-C) and is a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT). She uses these skills for post-surgical swelling, lymphedema, and edema that is slowing recovery, paired with education and home strategies so progress continues between sessions.
- Post-surgical swelling
- Lymphedema
- Edema management
- Post-operative recovery
