About Me
Treating patients holistically has been my lifelong passion
Jeni began her career in physical therapy over thirty years ago because she loved the human body and how it functioned. Now, after 35 years of practice, the human body continues to fascinate her. She continues to study, take classes, and learn, so that she can treat her patients wholly and completely. She believes people are a series of stories (and mishaps) from their life, and their present injury usually isn’t an isolated injury to one body part, it usually involves more than just their current presentation. She understands the body is a complex machine, and to assist it in healing requires the same complexity in thought.
Jeni started her physical therapy work in sports and orthopedics, treating patients post-operatively and post-injury. She is thankful for this experience and feels it was a great way to begin her physical therapy journey. She had the privilege of working with all levels of athletes and particularly enjoyed learning about the shoulder with prominent doctors in Southern California, ultimately giving lectures on the topic. She expanded her orthopedic skills by participating in manual therapy classes from organizations including IAOM (International Association for Orthopedic Medicine) and St Augustine. After taking hundreds of hours of orthopedic and sports classes, she realized there was more to treating the body than looking at it solely from this orthopedic perspective.
Early in her career, she pursued advanced education in Exercise Physiology and later received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Eager to learn and expand her knowledge to help her patients best, she continued with her education and learning in the areas of Scoliosis, NKT (Neurokinetic Therapy), Dry Needling, and the Pelvic Floor. She became certified in the treatment of pelvic floor issues through The Institute for Birth Healing. Still wanting more, she ventured into Visceral Manipulation, Neural manipulation, and Craniosacral Therapy through the Barral and Upledger Institutes.
Jeni established Knox Physical Therapy in 2014 to treat her patients thoroughly and without the time constraints typically imposed by conventional physical therapy practices. Jeni’s deep desire to learn, her varied background, and her devotion to her patients help to make her a highly sought-after therapist.
