About Jointworx Physical Therapy
The clinic that treats the cause.
Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them: one-on-one, with a physical therapist, every single visit.
Our Story
This isn’t our story. It’s yours.
Sara Manwiller, MSPT, ATC, CSCS, Founder
Sara Manwiller grew up in Virginia. She moved to Colorado in 1995 and never looked back: an undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine from the University of Virginia, then a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the Medical College of Virginia.
She built her practice around one belief: find the cause first. Orthopedic manual therapy, spinal manipulation, trigger point dry needling, she got certified in all of it, plus strength and conditioning and Kinesio taping along the way. In 2004, she opened Jointworx Physical Therapy in Edwards to put that belief into practice.
These days Sara lives in Edwards with her two kids, and she stays exactly as active as the patients she treats: biking and hiking all summer, snowboarding and skate-skiing all winter. She doesn’t just prescribe an active life. She lives one. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.
“The only way you are going to be fixed is to own your problem and be part of the solution.”
What We Believe
Four things we’ll never compromise.
Cause first. Symptoms follow.
You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We find the why, then the ache stops coming back.
Plans end. That’s the point.
You shouldn’t need a punch card. Every plan comes with a graduation date, so you always know how close you are.
You’re not a protocol.
Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.
The Difference
Not your typical clinic.
A typical clinic
- You explain your pain to a different aide every visit
- Your hour gets split with two other patients
- The same pain creeps back in a few months
- No graduation date, just book again next week
Jointworx Physical Therapy
- One-on-one with a physical therapist, every visit
- Your full hour, uninterrupted, every time
- A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
- A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one
Feel the difference in your first visit.

This is our neighborhood too.
We’ve been treating Edwards for 22+ years: your neighbors, your teammates, your kids’ coaches. The mom who’s been pushing through it so nobody else has to worry? She’s probably on our schedule too. Recovery is a lot more personal when it’s local.
