Every patient and every situation is different. What Sharon can tell you is that because sessions are one-to-one, unhurried, and focused entirely on finding the root cause, most patients progress faster than they have with previous providers.

Hope OnBoard Physical Therapy is a cash-based practice, which means your care is never dictated by what an insurance provider will or will not cover. There are no, “one body part per visit” rules, no capped session times, and no fixed protocols. Treatment is built entirely around you. You will also have concierge access to Sharon by phone between visits for any concerns, questions about your exercises, symptoms you are experiencing, or help formulating questions for upcoming physician visits.

Medicare is accepted. Depending on your commercial insurance, you may be able to submit receipts to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Sharon specializes in Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) and craniofacial pain, headaches and neck pain, rowing injuries, dance injuries, and injury prevention. As one of only 75 board-certified temporomandibular and craniofacial physical therapists in North America, she is particularly experienced with cases that have not responded to standard treatment. If you are unsure whether your condition falls within her scope, the free consultation call is the best place to start.

The first step is a free consultation call. Reach out using the contact form below and Sharon will call you back, usually within 48 hours. From there, she will guide you through a short intake process before your first in-home, location of your choice, or Telehealth evaluation. There is no commitment required until you are ready.

Every session begins with Sharon listening. She takes the time to understand what has changed, what is working, and what is not working, before any hands-on treatment begins. 

Sessions typically involve manual therapy (joint mobilizations, soft tissue massage and manual stretching), targeted exercises, gait and balance training, sport and performing arts-specific training, movement assessment, ergonomic assessment, and education, all tailored to what your body needs that day.

You will leave every session with a clear understanding of what was found and what comes next, and most patients are given around 20 minutes of simple daily exercises to support their recovery between visits.

Yes, and this is one of Sharon's deepest areas of expertise. As a Certified Cervical and Temporomandibular Therapist (CCTT), one of only 75 in North America and one of only 3 in Pennsylvania, she has spent years working with patients whose jaw pain, facial pain, and related headaches went unresolved by multiple other providers. If you have been told your results look normal or that nothing more can be done, that is exactly the kind of case Sharon is trained for.
