Restore your body. Restore your life.
Integrative Manual Physical Therapy and Functional Medicine — for people whose symptoms have never been fully explained.
Jennifer Shepherd, PT, CFMT, FFMT, FAAOMPT, FMCP
You CAN overcome your health concerns and return to a life of vitality and resilience. There is hope for a better future.
If you’ve seen everyone and still have symptoms, you’re in the right place.
Your body adapts to everything life puts on it — until it can’t. Then symptoms appear that don’t seem connected to anything.
Most providers look at one system at a time. One joint. One lab value. One diagnosis. When the pieces never get put together, the real driver goes untreated.
I look for the multiple whys behind your symptoms — with my hands and with your history.
Who this is for
People who’ve been told their labs are normal, their scans are clean, and they should try managing stress.
Chronic pain that moved, came back, or never had a clear cause. Fatigue, brain fog, or gut symptoms that no one connected to each other. Concussion or injury where the imaging healed but function didn’t. Autoimmune conditions, headaches, TMJ, pelvic pain. Symptoms that started after a surgery, a pregnancy, a fall, or a period of prolonged stress.
And people ready to do the work outside the clinic — because that’s most of it.
This work requires participation outside the clinic. If you’re looking for someone to fix this for you, I’m not the right provider.
Current wait for new patients: 8-10 weeks
How care works here
Restoration isn’t one visit. Your body took years to get where it is, and problem-solving it takes more than a single appointment.
Care begins with:
90-minute evaluation — full history, whole-body structural assessment, and my analysis of what’s actually driving your symptoms. This is where the multiple whys get found.
The Foundations for Functional Health — three parts: nervous system, inflammation, and structural health. Required for every patient, because I can’t lower your inflammation for you, regulate your nervous system for you, or exercise for you.
Six visits — weekly at first, then every other week, then a month out as your body consolidates.

Continued care after that is per visit, based on what you need.
The goal is to need me less.
Care starts weekly and spaces out as your body holds the changes — every other week, then monthly, then as needed. Most patients end up checking in once or twice a year.
That’s the point. This isn’t a model built on seeing you twice a week forever.
Our Philosophy
LISTEN
Your story matters. Understanding your history helps us understand your body.
IDENTIFY
We quickly pinpoint which structures and systems aren’t functioning at their best.
PROBLEM SOLVE
We connect those findings to your history to understand the deeper relationships of your symptoms.
RESTORE
We restore mobility and function of your structures and pathways, integrating them into your whole body.
EQUIP & EMPOWER
We build on the awareness you’ve developed in Foundations with self-care that keeps adapting as your body — and your needs — change.
Why patients come to me after trying everyone else
Most physical therapists treat one joint, one muscle, one diagnosis at a time. Most functional medicine providers focus on labs and supplements. Doctors offer medications, surgery, injections.
My education, skillset, experience, and gifts equip me to assess and treat the whole body as one integrated system: musculoskeletal, visceral, neural, vascular — through the lens of functional medicine — together, in one visit.
There are fewer than 40 recognized Fellows of the Institute of Physical Art in the country. I’m the only one who also holds both certification in Functional Medicine and advanced training in Visceral Manipulation through the Barral Institute..
That means I can find connections between your symptoms, history, lifestyle, and structure that other providers miss entirely.

REAL RESULTS
“By taking the time to do a very thorough history, Jen helped me work through traumatic events — figuring out how to support my whole body so I can heal and get back to living. She has changed my life.” — Krista Kyle
In January, with Jen’s support, Krista lost weight, cleared up skin issues, significantly reduced IBS symptoms, reduced headaches and allergy symptoms, and reduced pain in muscles and joints. Her hematologist noted her best autoimmune lab results in over 10 years.
I would recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a holistic and welcoming approach to healing the body.
Has been treating my husband every week since last fall! Highly recommend ….
