Pelvic Health Rehabilitation Certified
Hello! I am Jennifer I graduated from SUNY Cortland Summa cum laude in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and with Honors from SUNY Upstate Medical University in 2013 with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. The first five years of my career I spent working as an Orthopedic PT where I completed extensive continuing education in manual therapy techniques (NAIOMT), McKenzie Method, and Mulligan Technique.
In 2018 I was inspired by my sister's journey through postpartum rehab recognizing the important role the Pelvic Floor plays even within traditional orthopedic treatment. I have since trained under numerous international leaders in pelvic health through the Herman and Wallace Institute. I completed my Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC) in 2021 and have dedicated my career to the field of Pelvic Health PT as a regular Teachers Assistant through H&W Institute.
