Jessica has extensive experience treating a wide variety of orthopedic issues, including:

shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, foot/ankle pain, neck pain, mid-back pain, low back pain, SI joint pain/dysfunction, tendonitis/tendinopathy, radiculopathy/sciatica, post-fracture rehab, disc pathologies, cervicogenic headaches, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff strains, scapular dyskinesia, arthritis, patella-femoral pain syndrome, bursitis, muscle pain, overuse injuries, hypermobility, whip lash injuries, postpartum low back pain, and generalized weakness and deconditioning.

The physical demands of caring for a family, combined with reduced sleep, increased stress, and changes in diet, can create an ideal environment for common musculoskeletal issues in the hips, lower back, upper back, and neck. Jessica is passionate about helping mothers alleviate pain, build strength, and prepare their bodies to handle the challenges of motherhood.

If you are experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic health therapy is also offered at this clinic.

Pelvic health is an important part of function and quality of life. Our pelvic health therapist treats conditions like vaginal pain, bowel and bladder dysfunction (including constipation, retention, and incontinence), pelvic organ prolapse, prenatal birth preparation, and postpartum recovery. She is trained through the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehab Institute and the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy (a section of the American Physical Therapy Association) and has specialty certificates for treating people in the prenatal and postpartum periods.

Please reach out for information on how to schedule a pelvic health appointment. If coming to the clinic is a challenge, telehealth visits are offered and can be a helpful way to start this process and gain information about your condition.

Jessica is dedicated to providing a space for those with HSD/EDS to feel heard, respected, and validated. She has completed the EDS ECHO program for Allied Health Professionals through the Ehlers- Danlos Society. She is also certified in Finding Functional Foundations (FFF), which is a treatment methodology created by a leading expert in the field. Please see more information on this methodology below and the "Pricing" section for group therapy options to learn the FFF approach.

Jessica is certified in the FFF approach, which is a methodology created by Susan Chalela, PT, to address functional instability in those with hypermobility. It is a whole-body approach that addresses stability from the "ground up" and uses the latest research in neuroplasticity to address faulty recruitment patterns and improve motor control. This methodology can also be applied to the general population to improve postural control, core strength, and movement efficiency. Individual and group sessions for family members are offered to learn this approach. Please see the Pricing section to learn more.

Jessica has nearly twenty years experience working with post-op patients and is familiar with many orthopedic post-op protocols for the shoulder, hip, knee, spine, and foot/ankle. Patients who have had surgery often need several, consistent post-op PT visits. If you plan to have surgery, please contact Jessica prior to your surgery so post-op sessions can be discussed, planned, and scheduled.

Jessica became certified in the Integrative Dry Needling method in 2014 and is always willing to discuss if this treatment may be right for you and your road to recovery.

Jessica tends to use manual therapy for many of her patients, which may include massage/soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, muscle energy techniques, and/or manual stretching.

Every patient will receive an individualized exercise program to address range of motion, flexibility, strength, motor control, deconditioning, and proprioception deficits when indicated. The goal of physical therapy is to help each patient obtain independence in an exercise program, whether that is at home or in a gym.
