Dr. Kristen Joyce, PT, DPT, PRPC

Clinical Director Ellicott City/Mt Airy Locations For Indigo Physiotherapy

Dr. Kristen Joyce earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.  She found her love for treating pelvic and sexual dysfunction during her last internship in school. Treating as a pelvic physical therapist since that point, Dr. Joyce believes the best physical therapist is one that merges expertise on both orthopedics and pelvic physical therapy to treat the whole client. Giving up to date, evidence-based care, Dr. Joyce is an expert and leader in her field, working closely with surgeons and medical doctors on the latest technology and improvements, particularly with gender affirmation procedures. She has been certified by Herman & Wallace as a Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner (PRPC), the top certification available.

Dr. Joyce specializes in the care and treatment of the LGBTQIA+ community, including care of post-operative gender affirming surgeries.  Dr. Joyce also specializes in individuals undergoing fertility treatments or along their fertility journey, clients with hypermobility disorders, endometriosis/PCOS, and pre/post surgical (bladder sling, hysterectomy, endometriosis surgery, etc.)  She also had an extensive knowledge in the treatment of pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, urinary and fecal incontinence and pregnancy and postpartum related impairments, as well as treating clients with a history of trauma.

Additionally, Dr. Joyce is a Clinical Instructor, mentor to rising pelvic PT’s, and lectures and lab assists for the doctor of physical therapy program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.

Dr. Joyce is excited to be joining the Indigo team where she will be able to continue to focus on an individualized approach for every client. She is a well known pelvic health practitioner in Columbia and Mount Airy, MD where she will continue to provide one-on-one, individualized care to that community.
