WHAT DID JEN SAY?

“Whether I’m working with someone in person or if I’m educating someone online, my goal should remain the same. I’m educating them on how they can find the solution themselves. I’m just facilitating the pathway.”

“What we’re doing [as physical therapists] is communicating with the signals within our mind to tell our bodies something different.”

“The thoughts that we have in our brain really play a role in what we feel in the tissues. And that’s why I’m always talking to someone beyond just looking at what’s happening in their structure or their movement patterns. I’ve got to know what’s happening in their life because that plays a role in the pain that you feel.”

“There’s an ever-evolving awareness that we get to keep learning within our environment and our bodies. It is a journey. Pain is not bad, it’s just a signal that something has to change.”

“I think what’s brilliant about becoming and being an entrepreneur is the ability to learn how to adapt with stress and with life and let go of expectations. And that’s honestly one of my favorite parts about what I do.”
