ABOUT DR. JEN
Hi! I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and person living with chronic pain and arthritis. With a healthy lifestyle and improved movement, I've been able to stay off medications and grow healthier every day. My passion is sharing what I've learned so others can feel their best - at every age and level of ability. Since 2014, through my concierge PT clinic and group fitness classes, we've developed a community and support network that helps each other thrive. Now, our community has moved online, and we invite everyone to join us!
In 2014 I opened ‘Jennifer Sylvester DPT,’ a concierge physical therapy clinic specializing in treating patients with complex conditions. My goal is to create the exceptional healthcare experience that I had always wanted for myself but found lacking in most clinics: focused attention from an expert whose priority is providing superlative, personalized care. Treatment specialties include aquatic physical therapy, lifestyle coaching, and community re-integration.
