Dr. Jen Welter, PT, DPT, Fellow of Pain Sciences 

 

Hello!  I am so glad you are here!

As a mom myself, I know how heartbreaking it can be to see your child hurting.  You have come to the right place for help.  

It is my mission to revolutionize the care for young people with pain, POTS, hypermobility and the many struggles that come along with chronic conditions.  

I am dedicated to empowering children, teens, young adults and their families to not just survive, but to THRIVE.

I use a whole-person approach to care that integrates my clinical background in pain neuroscience, physical therapy and lifestyle medicine with a collaborative coach approach to empower youth with strategies to build health and resilience.  Blend that with the integration of cutting edge strategies to hack their health and we have a winning strategy to get them back to the life they deserve.
