Get your strength back!
Don't just go to therapy. Join a team!
Above all else, I want you to feel seen, heard, and respected. You are the team leader of your rehabilitation & strength journey. At each appointment, I will interweave the best of my clinical experience, research experience, creativity, and flexibility to address what's important to you! We will spend the time to ensure we are both on the same page.
Premier neurologic physical therapy.
Headstrong is a one-stop shop for building strength, strategy with daily activities, caregiver training, treatment of pain, connection to community resources, wellness training, return to sport, work, and much, much more. At each session, you will work 1:1 with Dr. Jess, a board-certified neurological clinical specialist, strength coach, and competitive powerlifter.
Work with a therapist who understands strength.
If you experience pain while you lift, you might have been told by other providers that you need to stop lifting, with no real plan to get back to training. If you have a neurological condition, you may have been treated with kid gloves at other offices! At Headstrong, we understand strength! We will address all components contributing to pain while lifting, including programming, technique, and more!
Strong experience with a variety of individuals & diagnoses.
Dr. Jess has significant clinical experience, from the hospital to the pickleball court, working with a wide variety of individuals living with acute to chronic stroke, Parkinson's, functional neurological disorders, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and many more. In addition, we have strong community partnerships to provide the best support for our neuro folks, including custom wheelchair prescription and home modifications.

Who runs this joint?
Who am I? I'm Jess Evans, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS. I'm a former career academic, educator, physical therapist, neuro nerd, powerlifter, and cat mom. I left my job at a local hospital system craving the autonomy to provide a higher level of care for each and every patient to become their strongest selves. I needed more space, more time, and more resources to deliver the best for my patients--hence, the vision of Headstrong was born.
