About

Jennifer Mendelsohn, BS, PTA, has several years of experience working as a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) in orthopedics. She has a special interest in treating post-operative patients including joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs and ACL reconstructions. Jen grew up playing soccer and dancing competitively, which are also areas of interest in her practice. Collaborating with her partnering physical therapists to find the best treatment plan for each patient is what she enjoys most about being a PTA. Jen uses a combination of therapeutic exercise, manual techniques and education to help reduce patients’ pain and improve function and quality of life. In her free time, Jen enjoys spending time with her family, trying new restaurants and cheering on her favorite sports teams.
