O'Brien Physical Therapy and Wellness
Multisystem Approach to Treatment
​
Dr. Jill O’Brien's focus of assessing and treating the body as a whole has guided and complimented her extensive experience and training in her specialties, which are pelvic health, chronic pain treatment and functional dry needling. She and the team at O'Brien Physical Therapy and Wellness believe that nothing in our body happens in isolation and that the secret to long term gains and improvements is taking a step back and looking at how our systems, our daily activities and our converging histories interact and are contributing to our current concerns.
