Jessi 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 pelvic floor, hips, lower back, upper back, and neck. At Conway PT, we are passionate about helping mothers alleviate pain, build strength, and prepare their bodies to handle the challenges of motherhood.

We offer general orthopedic and pelvic health care 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.

Jessi is dedicated to providing a space for those with HSD/EDS to feel heard, respected, and validated. She has completed extensive training through the Ehlers-Danlos Society, including the entire EDS ECHO program for Allied Health Professionals, the EDS ECHO Masterclass: Manual Interventions, the EDS ECHO Masterclass: Pain Management, the EDS ECHO Allied Health Research Update, and the Ehlers-Danlos Society Female Health Summit. She plans to continue her education through the Ehlers-Danlos Society as opportunities arise.

Jessi has also completed an in-person, three day course with Heather Purdin, co-author of Taming the Zebra, where she learned manual interventions and the management of the complex patient, and she is certified in “Finding Functional Foundations” (FFF), which is a treatment methodology created by leading experts in the field. Please see more information on this methodology below.

Jessi is certified in the FFF approach, which is a methodology created by Susan Chalela, PT, and Leslie Russek, PT, PhD, 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. While the program is specifically designed to address upper cervical instability, it supports the entire body by enhancing movement efficiency and stability to promote safe, injury-free exercise. This methodology can also be applied to the general population to improve postural control and core strength. Individual and group sessions for family members are offered to learn this approach. Please see the Pricing section to learn more (the approach does take 4-6 sessions to learn, however, some may progress more quickly or more slowly.)

Dry needling can be an effective modality to compliment other therapies and address soft tissue injuries, increased muscle tension, and pain. Jessi 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.

Jessi tends to use manual therapy for many of her patients, which may include soft tissue mobilization, strain counter-strain, 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.

Discover all the factors that can contribute to chronic pain, including the latest research on the neuroscience of pain. Because pain is complex, and physical therapy is so much more than just exercise.

Jessi 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.

Our OT specializes in chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and dysautonomia. His expertise include energy conservation and pacing strategies, joint protection and adaptive equipment education, sensory regulation and interoception training, visual coordination and rehabilitation, occupational balance and activity modification, and chronic pain management. He is available through Telehealth only.
