Objective testing may include some of the following categories: motion, strength, posture, reflexes, muscle tension, joint mobility, balance, agility, coordination, & special tests pertaining to your symptoms and or diagnosis.
We develop a treatment plan specific to addressing the pertinent objective findings.

Manual therapy such as joint or soft tissue mobilization may also be included.

Client Testimonials
I was struggling with acute back/hip/leg pain from an old injury. After my first consultation with Jennifer she said ‘we need to get you moving!’ Four months in and I have made more progress with both the Physical Therapy and Pilates than I could have believed or even hoped for. I am now moving with confidence, agility and strength, I’m pain free and attending Pilates classes three times a week without a struggle! Jennifer and her staff are so knowledgeable, understanding and are willing to take the time to dig deeper and really find out what’s the root cause of the problem. I can’t say enough about how great they all are.
Jennifer is awesome. I walked away from knee surgery thanks to her advice and care. Her intimate knowledge really gives you an insight on what you need to work on and to improve your overall physical condition. I started Jennifer’s Pilates class after my knee was out of the woods and have been doing it for a year now. I’ve never looked back. Her staff and other instructors also extend her excellent care and service.
Jennifer Klein Physical Therapy helped me to recover effectively from a leg issue I developed from running (groin soreness). She provided a series of needling sessions, a few Pilates classes at her establishment, and a list of stretches that helped loosen up my body enough to prevent recurrence. Amazing team and amazing service!
Jennifer Klein Physical Therapy has been an excellent facility for ‘what ails me.’ The staff is courteous, conscientious and hard working. Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable and experienced with integrating Pilates into Physical Therapy treatment for my low impact joint needs. She has presented me with therapeutic options for every pain related to my hip issue. Jennifer informed me that strengthening the core and upper body is essential to treating my problem area and she was right! After my initial session, I kid you not, my hip impingement issue was noticeably much better! When I began to experience what’s known as “referred pain” in the lower back, she had a solution for that, too-dry needling! I would definitely recommend Jennifer’s skills, talents, knowledge for what ails you!
Jennifer and her staff are wonderful. They are truly invested in each patient and are committed to helping him or her find relief. In addition to devising a personalized treatment plan, they are willing to accommodate your schedule to ensure that you can make each session.
I tore my hamstring and was devastated. I could not stay in the gym or mountain bike and I could barely walk normally. Within a few treatments of dry needling and cupping from Jennifer I could tell a difference. I am so happy I came here for my treatment. I am now in the process of transitioning out of hamstring rehab to working out. I decided to take Jennifer’s advice and take a few of her Pilates classes. That was another great decision. I think this is by far my favorite type of work out and my body is continuing to further rehab. If you are hurt or need to change up your exercise regimens, please go there. You will not regret it. I truly believe I received first class treatment as a patient and a person here. I cannot say enough great praises about Jennifer Klein Physical Therapy and Jennifer Klein herself.
