It’s physics, basic physics…but it’s hard to quantify in human tissue. And let’s be honest, there are many things about the amazing human body that we may never truly understand, which does not mean that they do not exist.
I explained how I observe specific movements…walking, throwing, cycling, even swimming, and how the trained eye can see where movement flows through the body with ease and where it doesn’t. When we have areas in the the body that don’t move well, the demand for movement is STILL there and gets transferred to another area of the body that was NOT designed to handle that load – leading to increased strain on joints, muscles, and tissues over time.
I used to push myself until I’d crash and burn, get sick, fall into depression, wrestle with weight, have constant GI issues, cold sores, you name it. Yes, I had some cellular and dietary things I needed to address, but I was not giving my body the rest, peace, and pleasure that it needed to keep my nervous system healthy.
I’ve worked hard over the years, both in my own learning and with the wisdom of other professionals, to learn about my own barometer…how to know when my body is in a state of homeostasis, which is when all systems are working optimally together, in balance.
It’s GROW time here in Cleveland! The demand for elite Manual Physical problem solving and solutions is high as patients are not receiving the care and results they need from the big, insurance based systems.
I am looking for passionate therapists wanting to level up their skills, level up our profession, change lives, and love a career that loves them back!

“Mom…do you think there was diabetes 400 years ago?” My 13 year old is learning about the differences of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. “We probably only ate potatoes, rice, vegetables and meats back then?” These are conversations we have often as we daily address what healthy foods we can add to our day, and when we’ve crossed the limit of unhealthy foods. We strive for 80/20. Though this summer for me it was closer to 60/40…
My heart breaks…with each new person I speak to on the phone, sharing life stories of trauma, illness and injury as well as the frustration and humiliation of being bounced around, medicated, and dismissed by the medical systems
It had been a few weeks since I had seen my patient. She had a smile on her face. Her hair was shiny and bright. Her skin was more firm with better coloring. She’s lost some weight. Her voice is stronger. She was lighter and brighter overall.
“Jen offers a unique and amazingly comprehensive approach to movement, recovery and function. She is able to identify & address issues in multiple body systems that contribute to specific inefficiencies in movement and stability with extraordinary precision and effectiveness. After a single session, I could finally sleep and move in the morning without the constant and consistent back pain I’d had for several years despite previous PT, self-treatment and exercise. Someone finally could touch and treat “that spot” and the surrounding connections so I can not only move, but move without pain. The difference in my posture and walking was visible immediately and I can finally get those parts that felt blocked and inhibited to turn on. I am so excited and thankful to get out and use my back and legs. It feels like I can finally drive my body without the brake being stuck down.
Jen has the knowledge, education and training to address not only the orthopedic issues but to achieve to even greater levels of functional recovery for clients with her integration of the nervous and vascular systems to truly clear the drivers and contributors of dysfunction(s).”
