Dr. Jennifer Cohen became a physical therapist because she is passionate about helping
patients heal and refine their mobility.

“The essential focus of my practice is paying attention to the details and how even small improvements or adjustments can transform my patients’ lives.”

She then earned her Masters in Public Health at Boston University, and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from MGH Institute of Health Professions where she also received the Marjorie K. Ionta award. Jen specializes in orthopedics, earning her Orthopedic Clinical Specialist certification. She is dedicated to treating the “whole patient” and uses her experience working in multi-disciplinary settings, and continued education in manual therapy and orthopedics to better serve her patients and help them return to an active lifestyle.

Jen has been involved in athletics her entire life, from gymnastics and cross country as a child to competing on the University of Pittsburgh crew team.
