More about JenniferWhat patients actually say
This is such a genius way to have physical therapy! She comes right to my home to do our work. I could see this being very helpful for the busy person or elderly that has difficulty getting to an office. She can use things I have around the house for treatment and also look at how I sit on the couch, at my desk etc... Jen is very personable and does a great job with manual therapies as well as exercises, taping and whatever else I need.
Jen's mobile service is so valuable for me since I have a busy schedule. Jen takes time to check in on what has been working, what is most needed, and work on highest priority area. She is a great at what she does and is a great communicator as well. I highly recommend Jen!
Kirby Physical Therapy is mobile and visits me at home. This has been very convenient to get my much needed physical therapy treatments. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and professional. We do a combination of stretches and massage in the comfort of my home. Talk about immediate pain relief! If you are busy and want to feel better, Kirby Physical Therapy is the best!
Portable treatments
Every one of these travels in a car and works in a living room. That is not a compromise on the technique, it is the reason the practice is built this way.
Hands on the tissue and the joint. Kneading and manipulation of muscle, joint mobilization and joint manipulation, used to treat musculoskeletal pain and the loss of movement that comes with it.
Manual TherapyWhere the work actually happens
Kirby Physical Therapy only uses state of the art equipment, and it arrives in the car. Everything else in the session is furniture you already own, at the heights you already live at.
Balance and posture
Standing balance is tested against the thing you actually stand near. A wall, a counter edge, a window ledge at your own height, all of it is a hand-hold you already know where to find in the dark.
Gait and functional mobility
Walking gets assessed on your own rug, over your own threshold strip, in the shoes you actually wear indoors. A gym corridor tells you how someone walks in a gym corridor.
Therapeutic activities
Transfers are a named part of the work, chair to bed, lying to sitting. Practising them against furniture at your own heights is the real task. A padded box set to a standard height is a rehearsal of somebody else's house.
Manual therapy
One patient wrote that Jennifer looks at how she sits on the couch and at her desk. Posture is not an abstraction when the chair that caused it is three feet away and can be adjusted on the spot.
Dry needling and manual work
Trigger point and soft-tissue work happens on a mat rolled out on the same rug, not on a treatment table three towns away. The floor you kneel on is your own.
Home exercise carryover
The exercises Jennifer leaves behind get practised in the same patch of floor she used, at the same time of day, so the home program is a continuation of the visit, not a photocopy of a stranger's routine.
Who knocks on the door
She came to physical therapy through a sports injury she picked up in high school. Licensed since 2008, Doctorate from A.T. Still University, Certified Master of Dry Needling and Certified KT Tape Practitioner — and the person on the phone is the person who shows up.
