Hi, I’m Dr. Jackie Joy Roelofs!
I’m a New Orleans pelvic floor physical therapist changing the game for women’s and maternal health in New Orleans, from pre-pregnancy to perimenopause and beyond.
My passion is helping women overcome pelvic pain, fertility struggles, pregnancy, and postpartum pelvic floor challenges, so they can move their bodies and thrive in every stage.
Let me guess…
Your pubic symphysis pain (SPD) was brushed off as “part of pregnancy” and all you can find online is advice to avoid single leg activities (hello - walking is a single leg activity?)
Your doctor told you that leaking after babies is “normal” and handed you a sheet of paper with how to do kegels.
You had an unplanned C-section, and were given zero guidance on recovery besides “don’t lift anything heavier than your baby for 6 weeks.”
You’re an avid runner and feeling completely lost and horrified after developing prolapse in a tough vaginal delivery. You want to get back but are terrified to make things worse.
Your periods are debilitating and have you laying on your heating pad as you skip work for the 3rd time this month
Sex is painful, and you know that it’s not a matter of just drinking a glass of wine.
Your back and hips ache all the time when you pick up your baby, and you’re tired of hearing that it’s just part of getting older.
If any of this sounds like you…
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help!
I provide pelvic floor physical therapy in Uptown New Orleans and virtually, and I promise you, you don’t have to feel this way forever.
Book your appointment today and see how life-changing pelvic floor physical therapy can be.

Male Pelvic Health
Everyone has a pelvic floor! We can help with colorectal pain, chronic pelvic pain, urinary issues, painful ejaculation, and post-surgical complications.
Pelvic floor therapy is so much more than kegels (they can make matters worse for many!).
If you’re tired of being tossed from doctor to doctor for ongoing pain and dysfunction, googling “exercises for diastasis recti,” or accepting that leaking when you sneeze is your new normal - There is help and there is hope for you.
Ready to get started? Here’s how pelvic floor therapy works.
Step 2:
Build a customized action plan for recovery
Your physical therapist will build a plan to reach your goals, with expert-guided recommendations, a follow-up plan, and customized home program to support you between sessions- so you are never left to figure it out on your own.
Step 1:
Schedule your initial in-person or virtual evaluation
We discuss your symptoms and goals in depth, identify the root cause of your pelvic floor problems, and finally connect the dots between all of your symptoms (YES- your leaking and chronic hip pain are related!)
Step 3:
1:1 Follow Up Plan of Care
Each one-hour session will include specialized treatments like manual therapies, dry needling, and exercise programming with a doctor of physical therapy (no more rehab techs in a crowded gym) to fine-tune your progress, make adjustments to your program, and help you finally get lasting relief.
Clients are saying…
Dr. Jackie was so instrumental in my pregnancy journey. The stretches, exercises and education she gave me helped alleviate pain that I didn’t think was possible to alleviate. I went from weeks of nerve pain to having no more nerve pain at all in my third trimester!
Jackie gave me such an understanding of how the pelvic floor works, how to support it, and how to recover from birth! She is truly one of the most diligent, caring medical providers I’ve ever seen and she genuinely cares about her patients. I am SO THANKFUL to have found her. She is a gem in the New Orleans women’s health community.
