Creating Optimal Health through Understanding Your Body with Dr. Lee

Dr. Jennifer Lee received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri and is the Owner of L2E Physical Therapy in Peoria, Arizona.  She began her career in an outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic, focusing on injuries and imbalances of the musculoskeletal system.  This led her to completion of a Fellowship in Applied Functional Science through the Gray Institute, where she studied the 3-dimensional connection of the human body specific to the musculoskeletal system and learned to better ask and answer the question, "WHY" someone would experience pain and dysfunction, compared to our traditional medical model which focuses on the "WHAT" is hurting and symptom resolution.  Later studies at the Barral Institute taught her that the question, "Why" cannot always be answered by addressing the musculoskeletal system, as the true root cause of some patients' pain stems from restrictions or previous trauma to the nervous system, cranium, visceral organs/fascia, or is rooted in emotional trauma stored in the body.   The work to determine the true root cause of someone's suffering, particularly chronic pain, anxiety or emotionally-rooted pain often requires more time and a softer, quieter environment than is typical of the outpatient orthopedic clinical setting. Each of her patients receives an hour of 1-on-1 care, with the goal of letting the patient's body be in a safe environment where it can communicate what it needs in order to function at optimal efficiency.  Her passion is to create healing and to incorporate the totality of an individual's physical, mental, and emotional experience and to allow each patient the time and care they deserve in order to understand the story of their bodies and find the answers as to why they are experiencing pain. https://www.l2ept.com/
