Jessica LaRiviere, PT, DPT is a pelvic health and orthopedic therapist with years of experience in many settings. She received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Simmons University in Boston, MA, in 2013, and before that, was a mechanical engineer for 7 years. She has worked in a variety of settings and locations throughout the country, allowing her to gain experience in the many complexities of healthcare. She has worked with people with spinal cord injuries, athletes and runners, elderly folks with dementia, and many others in between.
Jessie became interested in pursuing pelvic health PT because she believes in helping people with pregnancy, postpartum struggles, and health issues that may be stigmatized or less talked about. Jessie works to make her patients feel heard and empowered. She also brings a trauma-informed lens to her sessions, giving her clients the space to feel safe.
Jessie is certified in the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), which utilizes full-body assessment and therapy techniques to treat the body as the whole, complex person.
Jessie loves to explore, and has traveled to many places including several months solo in Australia and New Zealand. She enjoys many outdoor adventures, trying new types of exercise and hobbies, and spending as much time with loved ones as she can.
