JENNY KERR (GARBARZ), PT DPT COMT

Jennifer received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI in 2018. She has practiced in Wisconsin over the last 2 years with a focus on a wide variety of orthopedic conditions. Jennifer applies her extensive manual therapy techniques as well as functional exercises to maximize her patient’s functional goals. She is passionate about a holistic approach to her physical therapy treatment, acknowledging the unique psychological, social, and biological factors that contribute to her clients’ success and progress in physical therapy. A curiosity to learn and ask questions is innate to Jennifer’s wiring, and she earned her Certificate of Manual Physical Therapy through the Manual Therapy Institute in 2021 as a certified orthopedic manual therapist (COMT). In addition to her clinical skills, Jennifer speaks conversational Spanish and Polish to those who prefer speaking in their native language.

While she was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Jennifer fell in love with Washington State during a clinical rotation in graduate school. Due to an amazing career opportunity at CorePhysio and her love for the great outdoors, Jennifer moved to Bellingham, WA with her husband and dog. When she is not treating patients, Jennifer and her husband can be found exploring the countless mountain biking trails on Galbraith mountain or hiking trails in Mt. Baker Wilderness.
