I figured that now would be a good time to re-introduce myself…

I’m Dr. Natalie Jones, founding owner and sole physical therapist of Game Changer Physical Therapy. Game Changer Physical Therapy was born in Southern CA with the vision of changing the expectation and experience of physical therapy, while allowing me to be the wife and mother my family deserves. If you want to read a detailed story, see my blog post title “Taking the Leap”. 

Back in November of 2019, our family made a MAJOR life change and moved from Southern California to Phoenix. The move wasn’t a big shock to our extended family since my husband and I have been talking about moving to Arizona since we got married almost 11 years ago. About a year ago, we came up with a “Move to AZ: Five Year Plan” and made a list of things that needed to be taken care of before we moved. Well, things on that list were quickly being checked off and it was clear we now had a “Right Now Plan”. So, I closed up Game Changer Physical Therapy in CA and our family of five packed up our lives in CA and made the drive to our new home. 

Once in AZ, I began to take the necessary steps to transfer both my physical therapy license and business. Getting all the legal paperwork took longer than expected, but eventually, I became a licensed AZ physical therapist and Game Changer Physical Therapy, LLC was created. Shortly after all of the legal documentation was cleared through the state, COVID-19 reared its head in the U.S. 

As I sit here writing this blog, AZ has been under “stay at home” orders for a short time. As a family, we are adjusting to our new “normal”, but this situation has made it very clear where my focus needs to be right now. At the moment, Game Changer’s growth will be put on hold so that my family can receive 100% of my time and attention. During this time, I won’t be practicing traditional physical therapy, but I plan on posting a few things on social media. 

While we are all adjusting to a new way of life, I want to be available as a resource.  Whether that’s tips on managing low back pain, managing headaches, proper home office ergonomics, or how to get in a quick full body workout during breaks from work. Follow Game Changer Physical Therapy on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for upcoming posts and browse through past posts for exercises that address some aches and pains you may be experiencing. 

Our lives have changed drastically, but we will get through this. And when we do, Game Changer will be open for business! 

By the way, our new phone number is (480) 702-1634 – call or text. Website and email contact information have stayed the same. Hope to hear from you as soon as we are all able! Take care.
