"Jeanette helped me for the twelve months following my total hip replacement, and through my goal to return at UCI masters world track championships. Jeanette impressed me in her listening to my goals. Then she got to work with her excellent abilities in helping to push my body, work out my old injuries, and prescribe new exercises to help me achieve my goals. I loved her real feedback, so that I always heard of the progress that I had made yet knew exactly what I still needed to work on. I was extremely happy to have achieved my comeback and win. Thank you!"
- Larry Nolan, world champion track cyclist
“Jeanette is a truly remarkable PT. I am a professional cyclist and I went into see her to work on some of my nagging issues on the bike. I have seen plenty of PTs over my years in this sport. Jeanette has an amazing set of advanced skills that the average PT doesn't possess coming out of school. She is prepared to treat any acute or long-standing chronic problem in a way your average PT is not. Even if you haven't had success with physical therapy elsewhere, I would highly recommend physical therapy with Jeanette.”
– Katie Hall, professional cyclist
“Jeanette did a THOROUGH examination of my issues & history, brought in kinesiology, alternative medicines (cupping) and other techniques to quickly get to the heart of the issue. This approach was way more helpful and effective than any PT I’ve been to before. Jeanette gave me exercises that were injury preventing and injury specific. She is the only PT I’ve seen who identified the issue of scar tissue in my knee that has been developing since I broke my leg at age eight. I have since run the Kauai Marathon and completed the Olympic Triathlon at Pacific Grove with no knee pain! I really have to thank you, Jeanette, for what you did for me. It feels great to feel like myself again.”

“As a nurse I want to maintain flexibility, strength & proper function - Jeanette makes that happen. She listens and works out the kinks, then makes exercise suggestions that work with my schedule. Whether it's a tune-up of a "cranky" joint or post-surgery/injury work, her strong clinical skills and gentle manner make PT a treat.”
- Mary S.
“My husband and I have seen Jeanette for a myriad of ailments and can highly recommend her. She takes her time learning about the injury/pain and looking at the whole body to determine the best treatment. I also recommend Jeanette for pre-surgery PT which speeds recovery.”

“Jeanette is outstanding to work with. Her approach works for a number of reasons. First, she takes a wholistic view to treating injuries and is able to trace things down to root causes and treat them with amazing precision. This is true even when problems are complex or span multiple systems of the body. Jeanette also focuses on efficiency for the patient. She was able to at identify and communicate the highest-value things I could do to get back in action. Last but not least, she is genuine, welcoming, and fun to talk to. Jeanette’s thoughtful approach and expertise helped me recover quickly while investing the minimal amount of time and effort. Thank you, Jeanette!”

“Jeanette is one of the smartest and most attentive physical therapists I've ever seen. She really listens, is empathetic, and does everything she can think of to help you heal. Even when you present her with something she doesn't know, she's open-minded and interested in learning more. For the hour that you're with her, you feel like you're the most important person in the world. And that's a wonderful feeling. Thanks, Jeanette, for being awesome!”

“Jeanette is outstanding! She brings a ton of knowledge and passion to her practice. She goes way beyond on other physical therapy treatment I've had in both the depth and breadth of her knowledge. It's not an exaggeration to say her treatments are life changing, I'd highly recommend her to anybody needing treatment.”
