Prior to practicing in the East Bay area, Jodi was a trusted Pediatric Physical Therapist in the Kings County Unified School District for two years. She was able to work with a diverse population of pediatric injuries and physical disabilities.
As co-owner of a thriving outpatient Physical Therapy practice in Antioch, CA , she enjoys providing her patients with care that directs them in a positive direction by looking at the whole body. She and her husband Sam have been blessed to provide a “Ma and Pa” kind of atmosphere and treatment in their clinic for over 20 years and continue to strive to provide optimal care for their patients.
When not providing Physical Therapy or ensuring that the clinic is running smoothly, Jodi finds personal enjoyment in photography, running marathons, scrapbooking, traveling, studying the weather and marine life, hiking, dancing, and most importantly spending time with her husband Sam and 4 fabulous kiddos.
