Jennifer is a board licensed physical therapist  with 20 years of experience in orthopedics and sports medicine. She received her Masters Degree in Physical Therapy from East Carolina University in 2000 and undergraduate degree in Exercise Sport Science from Elon College  (now Elon University) in 1997. 

 

Having overcome her own personal injuries over the years has given her an even greater passion and empathy for those desiring return to their everyday life and activities. Experience playing NCAA college soccer, snowboarding, hiking, competing in triathlons, running, swimming, hiking, and backpacking contribute to her understanding of the competitive athlete as well as the more casual weekend warrior.

 

The core of her philosophy is an emphasis on evaluating the whole person in order to find the source of their problems, rather than simply just treating their symptoms. This approach mitigates the chance of re-injury and allows for improved personal performance once treatment is complete. By listening extensively to each patient, she helps empower them to be an active participant in the rehabilitation process.
