Welcome
At Specialized Therapy Services (STS), our mission is to provide patients with quality direct care with the best possible individualized physical therapy services to allow patients to reach their goals. Every patient is different, so his or her care should be different based on individual needs.
STS is a specialty therapy clinic. Our therapists have received extensive training and education in the realm of physical therapy, but our focus is on pelvic health/pain and vestibular rehabilitation/balance dysfunction.
Specialized Therapy Services is a therapist-owned private practice. We seek to provide our patients with the best possible care. Unlike large clinics, we are not interested in high volume. We turn our vision to hands-on, evidence-based, individualized patient care.

Meet Jill Lott
Jill has been practicing as a physical therapist since 2001 with much of this time spent in Baldwin County. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Louisiana College in 1999 and received her Bachelor of Science in biology/chemistry. She then furthered her education by receiving her Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of South Alabama in 2001.
Jill has spent over 10 years of her professional career predominantly working in the area of outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine with a special interest in endurance athletes. However, it was during her time spent working in the rehabilitation setting that she began to realize a need for focus on balance/fall prevention, vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), and pelvic motor dysfunction. As she continued her studies, her interest for these topics grew, and she successfully completed Emory University’s Herdman Certification for VRT in 2015. Jill has also successfully completed her board certification for the use of biofeedback for the treatment of pelvic motor dysfunction (BCB-PMD) from the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance and has also successfully completed the PRPC (Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification) through the Herman & Wallace Institute. This certification is awarded to those who are distinguished as experts in the field of pelvic rehabilitation.
Jill is an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association, participating in the Women’s Health Group, the Vestibular Special Interest Group, and the Private Practice Group. Jill is also an active member of Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA). Her clinical specialties include the treatment of vestibular and balance dysfunction, pelvic motor dysfunction including pelvic pain and bowel/bladder incontinence, and orthopedics/sports medicine. Jill and her husband, Guy, reside in Daphne, AL, and they are active members of St Paul’s Episcopal Church. She enjoys outdoor activities including running with her dogs, going to the gym and yoga.
Meet Kristi Johnson
Kristi has been practicing as a physical therapist for over 30 years. She graduated from the University of Florida in 1990 where she received her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. Kristi has spent her professional career in the area of orthopedics and specializes in women’s pelvic health. She also loves working with the prenatal and postpartum population.

Kristi married Scott, her high school sweetheart. They were raised in south Florida but moved to Colorado in 1993 where they raised their three girls. Kristi, Scott, and their girls took advantage of all the outdoor adventures Colorado had to offer: camping, backpacking, hiking, snow skiing, paddleboarding, rafting, and more. Now empty nesters, Kristi and Scott look forward to their next adventure back in the South. They reside in Fairhope, Alabama, and enjoy gardening, fishing, paddleboarding, and kayaking.
