Services
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Chronic pain, recurring injuries, and post-surgical recovery deserve more than a generic protocol. With nearly a decade of clinical experience and as an orthopedic manual fellow, Fisher Physical Therapy provides advanced orthopedic assessment and treatment — addressing the root cause so you can get back to moving, competing, and living without limitation.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Leakage, pelvic pain, prolapse symptoms, painful intercourse, constipation, core weakness — these are common, but they're not something you just have to live with. At Fisher Physical Therapy, we look at the whole body — hips, core, diaphragm, posture, and movement — to find what's actually driving your symptoms and build a plan that fixes it.
Therapeutic Dry Needling for Orthopedic and Pelvic Health Conditions
Fisher Physical Therapy offers therapeutic dry needling as part of an advanced, individualized treatment approach. Dry needling is an evidence-based technique that uses thin, sterile needles to release tight muscles, calm irritated nerves, reduce pain, and improve mobility — available for both pelvic floor conditions and orthopedic injuries.
Concierge Physical Therapy Available Upon Request
Sessions take place in a private office setting designed for one-on-one care — quiet, unhurried, and fully equipped for both pelvic health and orthopedic treatment. In-home visits are also available for patients who prefer the convenience and comfort of being treated in their own space.
What Are Our Clients Saying?
Joanna is an amazing physical therapist. I came to her for pelvic floor and bladder pain issues as well as back pain after seeing another pt for a year and having barely any improvement. She was very attentive and sympathetic during my initial visit and made me feel comfortable. She addressed the issues of anxiety surrounding my chronic pain condition and worked with me to develop a care plan that worked for me and my lifestyle. Within a few visits my pain was 70% better than it had been and I've been working with her continuously since to build strength and stability while keeping everything pain free. She is the best physical therapist in my opinion!
Hailee A.
I have had back issues for many years and have had many sessions of PT until my back surgery in 2021. My follow-up PT was initially close to home with several different therapists. My surgeon recommended I see Joanna Fisher. She truly changed my life! I am constantly amazed at the depth of her knowledge and her ability to help a patient understand what each exercise did, showed why it worked and how certain movements gave relief. She would video me doing exercises and I would video her doing them so when I went home there was no second guessing. Her knowledge combined with her patience, warmth, kindness and encouragement have seen me through my back surgery recovery and now my neck and shoulder issues.
It is rare to find someone who “is the real deal” and the whole package. She makes me feel as if I am her only patient even though she is in great demand.

Joanna Fisher is incredible. She’s a true professional, approachable and thorough. She spends the time explaining, creating a very comfortable environment, and follows up. I’ve made tremendous progress - life changing!

FAQS
Why Should I choose Fisher Physical Therapy?
Fisher Physical Therapy offers a level of expertise that is rare to find in one provider.
Dr. Fisher is not only an advanced orthopedic manual physical therapist with fellowship-level training, but she is also a pelvic floor specialist. This unique combination allows her to assess the body as a whole — looking at how the spine, hips, core, and pelvic floor all interact to create pain or dysfunction.
Do I need a referral to see you?
You do not need a referral in the state of Connecticut to see a physical therapist. I am happy to reach out to any of your doctors if you would like me to connect with them about your concerns.
Do you accept insurance?
In order to provide the highest quality of individualized care, I operate outside the insurance model. This approach gives us the flexibility to focus entirely on your needs—without limitations imposed by insurance companies. Superbills can be provided upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
What do I need to do to prepare for a home visit if I choose this for pelvic floor dysfunction?
Please provide me with sheets (one to cover the table and one to cover you) and fill out any forms I send you prior to the visit. I bring everything else with me!
What does a pelvic floor session look like?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is private, comfortable, and tailored to your goals. A session may include:
Assessment of posture, breathing, movement patterns, and core coordination
External or internal pelvic floor evaluation (only if appropriate and with consent)
Hands-on manual therapy to the pelvic floor, hips, abdomen, or spine
Nervous system regulation and breathing strategies
Strengthening or mobility work for the hips, core, and pelvic floor
Education on bladder/bowel habits, pressure management, and daily movement strategies
You will always be informed, supported, and in control — nothing is ever done without your permission.
What do I need to do to prepare for a home visit for an orthopedic or sports injury?
All you need to do is fill out any forms I send you prior to the visit. I bring all my equipment (table, dry needles, etc.) to the home. You do not need any special exercise equipment as I can make any body weight exercise challenging, however, I am happy to use whatever equipment you have available in your treatment program.
