Helping people overcome pain and injury
so they can return to all the sports and activities they love!
My Philosophy
I believe we are designed to move and play throughout our entire lives. I don’t buy into the idea that we should slow down with age, or that pain, injury, and physical restrictions are unavoidable aspects of growing older. So here’s my philosophy. Our mental mindset, combined with the physical position and condition of the body that we bring into any activity (from walking to skiing to everything in between), determines our chance of hurting when we move. If we have a positive mindset, and if we have proper positioning and move with correct body biomechanics, all activities should be possible.

Change Your Pain
Jessica invites you to join her new initiative, Pain Story Project. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is dedicated to creating a global shift in perspective about pain through education, awareness, and community. The stories we tell about our pain and injuries can keep us stuck, preventing us from returning to the active lifestyle we desire. Addressing the unhelpful thoughts, opinions, expectations, feelings, and beliefs about our recurrent pain and injury in coordination with physical treatment can propel recovery and support life-long athletics.
