Jenna is a physical therapist at Neuroscience Group's Appleton location, providing manual therapy-focused physical therapy evaluation and treatment for patients with musculoskeletal and nerve conditions. She uses both active and passive manual therapy techniques — working directly with bones, muscles, tendons, tissues, and nerves — to address chronic and acute pain and to complement the neurological and spine surgical care provided by the NG physician team. Her concussion program affiliation positions her to support patients in the Summit Concussion Clinic program alongside the concussion-focused providers at Appleton. She places equal weight on education and hands-on treatment, believing that patients who understand the source of their pain are better equipped to participate actively in their own recovery.

Jenna specializes in treating spine, neck, and back pain using manual therapy techniques for both chronic and acute presentations. More broadly, her manual therapy approach addresses the full range of musculoskeletal and nerve conditions that respond to skilled hands-on treatment — including joint pain, soft tissue conditions, nerve impingements, and post-surgical rehabilitation for patients following spine procedures at Neuroscience Group. Her involvement with the concussion program also positions her to treat patients managing physical therapy components of post-concussion recovery.

Jenna believes that thoroughly understanding the source of each patient's pain is just as important as the hands-on treatment itself. She invests real effort in educating patients about what is driving their symptoms and what the treatment is designed to accomplish, because patients who genuinely understand their condition are more empowered to participate in their recovery and more likely to maintain progress after formal therapy ends. Her manual therapy approach reflects a belief in the clinical value of direct, skilled, hands-on care — not just exercise prescription — and she uses it as a core component of how she helps patients address both the acute experience of pain and the underlying mechanical contributors to it.
