Physical Therapy

Dr. Jim Shepherd, DPT

A severe car accident at age 15 left Jim with a broken neck and altered the trajectory of his young life, leading him down the path to becoming a physical therapist (PT). After his own experience as a patient, he knew that being a physical therapist would fulfill both his desire for meaningful impact while also allowing him to explore his passion for health and wellness.

Jim’s treatment philosophy is anchored in the interconnectedness of the entire human body. Because muscles and joints rarely work in isolation, you often have to look at the body as a whole system to fully address problems. Similarly, he also firmly believes in the mind-body connection and the power our mindset has on our ability to mend and heal.

Jim is committed to helping his clients either recover quickly or become a better, more improved version of themselves.
