He completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Northern Arizona University. While doing extensive long term study with the Folsom Physical Therapy group he founded Phoenix Manual Therapy, which initially offered courses, based on the Nordic System of orthopedic manual therapy. Phoenix Manual Therapy progressed to offering a long-term course frame for study of the Australian approach to orthopedic manual therapy with Barbara Stevens and Margaret Anderson. Norwegian technique was integrated with the lead of Dennis Morgan and a natural evolution of working to bring patients to independence led to the merging of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to optimize the neurologic control of the musculoskeletal system.

Originally from Manistee, Michigan, Jenna moved to Arizona in 2008 for an internship opportunity after earning her Bachelor’s degree in Corporate Fitness/Wellness. She worked for five years in Corporate Fitness and Wellness before returning to school to pursue a career in physical therapy, earning her Doctorate degree from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona.
Dedication to elevating her clinical practice standard through high quality, continuing education and mentoring led Jenna to Phoenix Manual Therapy where she has taken the long-term Orthopedic Manual Therapy courses with friend and mentor, Tim Fearon. Her approach to physical therapy affords patients a tailor-made experience that is unique to their individual presentation. She values patient first care and seeks to individualize all treatment plans addressing the specific needs and goals of each patient. This approach empowers the individual patient to take an active role in their healthcare developing independence from the health care system. Jenna stays connected to Midwestern University as an adjunct faculty member assisting in Orthopedic, Neurologic, and Clinical Competency courses.
Outside of physical therapy, Jenna loves spending time with family and friends, staying active with outdoor adventures, and traveling.
