Guest Bio

Dr. Jen is a manual physical therapist and owner of L2E Physical Therapy in Phoenix, Arizona. Not your typical physical therapist, Dr. Jen's expertise is in the release of the body's greatest restrictions, taking her into the organ tissue, the nervous system, and often into unprocessed emotions that stay trapped in the physical body. Her approach is to the see the body, the person, as one integrated system and incorporate someone's past and full medical history into her care. This enables each patient to not only feel better, but to understand why they present as they do and how their individual history plays a part in their body, their symptoms, their anxiety TODAY.
