Location: Bay State Physical Therapy – Tewksbury - 885 Main Street, MA
Jessica graduated from the Physical Therapy Doctorate Program at University of Massachusetts Lowell in 2014. In 2018 she received her certification as a vestibular therapist from American Institute of Balance. She worked for 6 years working for an otolaryngologist utilizing the Epley Omniax to treat complex BPPV. Jessica is also a falls prevention specialist.
She has also worked in a rehabilitation hospital on the neurological floor working with traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s Disease, and stroke exclusively prior to joining the team in 2020. She brings a wealth of knowledge and keeps her patients engaged and educated throughout their physical therapy program.
Jessica states, “I enjoy treating a wide variety of orthopedic patients both surgical and non-surgical, as well as vestibular dysfunction, imbalance, and concussion. I enjoy seeing my clients through their entire rehabilitative process to regain function and confidence in their abilities once again. It is so important to educate patients about their body to better understand the role therapy can play in recovery. I am a very hands-on therapist who believes properly applied skilled therapeutic techniques and solid education are the foundation for success.”
When not at work, Jess is a mother of two small boys that enjoy gardening and hiking alike.
