Jennifer received her physical therapy degree from Eastern Washington University (EWU) in 1995, graduating summa cum laude. Previously she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training from EWU in 1993. She has worked in orthopedic physical therapy her entire career. She received her Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification in 2016. She further specialized as a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) and completed her Orthopedic Manual Therapy Fellowship through the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy in 2022.
She became a Certified Mulligan Practitioner in 2019 and has assisted teaching Mulligan Concept courses since then.
Jennifer’s philosophy for optimal patient outcomes includes a therapist who is an attentive and compassionate listener, has effective manual therapy skills, uses evidence-based physical therapy, and treats each patient as a unique individual. While she uses an eclectic approach to her practice, she has found the Mulligan Concept to be a cornerstone of her approach since first introduced to the concept in 2003.
She currently lives and works in Spokane, WA. Outside of work she treasures time spent with her family and enjoys running, hiking and cross-country skiing.
