Happy Clients...

Nicole Physical Therapy

When I got pregnant, I knew I wanted to work with a pelvic floor physical therapist. I was referred to Jess by a co-worker and could not have been happier with the recommendation. Jess was great at guiding me through exercises to support my pregnancy, and assist with my healing and recovery postpartum. She also helped with a number of aches and pains during and after pregnancy. She created a very individualized program for me to follow that was easy to complete with my busy life. I believe I would have had a much harder time with birth and my postpartum recovery if I had not started working with Jess when I did. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Jennifer Physical Therapy

Dr. Jess is fantastic! I truly have nothing but praise for her. I have struggled to heal my diastasis recti since giving birth to my second child four years ago. An intensive online program and work with a PT through my healthcare clinic left me feeling defeated and as though I still looked 5 months pregnant. I started working with Dr. Jess two months ago and immediately started to see and feel results in my core and pelvic floor. Not only is Dr. Jess warm and caring, but she is also so hands on and knowledgeable. It amazes me how she can watch me perform an exercise and make the slightest tweaks to my posture and alignment to deliver major results. I also really appreciate the fact that Dr. Jess understands that I am a busy mom. My care plan is tailored to fit my lifestyle. I continue to recommend Dr. Jess to all of my mom friends!

Cecilia Running Analysis & Physical Therapy

I first went to Jess in Jan 2023 because I had a knee injury from running that was bugging me. I am so incredibly grateful I was able to work with her. She customized my exercises and treatment to my exact needs plus preferences. I loved gaining insights into my running form with my personal analysis and getting a chance to try dry needling. Jess made my PT exercises and plan easy to understand plus perfectly tailored to my specific goals. She also assisted me with my training plan so I could feel confident, strong and ready for my half marathon coming up in June. Highly recommend anyone with running PT or any PT needs to Jess. She is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, flexible, kind and easy to open up to. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my health and running training.
