Hello

My Name is Jen Germani, PT, DPT

I have been a Pediatric Physical Therapist for over 16 years working with babies and children with developmental delays and a variety of complex diagnoses. It is my passion to teach, coach and empower families in helpful ways to facilitate movement, growth and independence all while promoting a comfortable, positive and fun play environment. I have helped fussy, uncomfortable and tense newborns find comfort and relaxation to aid in feeding, movement, and posture control making a huge impact on parent's day to day lives.

I have done a lot of work in the birth to 3 setting, and continue to take courses and trainings to share and better support our community. I have learned so many strategies and techniques to foster developmental movements and guide kids into more independent play. I created Joyful Movements because I see a need within our community to help families very early on with their children through specialized techniques and customized and realistic plans. Your plan will be uniquely designed and fit into your busy  on-the-go life to incorporate with confidence.

I have learned that sometimes just a few simple activities carried out daily can make big impacts and happier kiddos! So I cannot wait to help yours!

The Vision

Through the power of positivity, specialized training and a loving touch, my mission is to teach and empower parents to help their infants and toddlers to reach their full potential for mobility, development, and joy.

Why Physical Therapy?

If you have ever had your spidey sense go up about your child or expressed concerns to your doctor and received a "wait and see" type of response, it may be time to follow your gut and have your infant/child assessed. I am an experienced therapist with a background in infant massage, Primitive reflex integration, gross motor development, play-based therapy techniques, whole body approach, Craniosacral therapy and fascial release techniques, and tummy time techniques, as well as the experience gained from being a mom of two energetic boys! I am seeking to help parents of newborns and children with concerns about their development.

I will provide a comprehensive evaluation and create a customized plan with recommendations to move forward, if you choose, at a frequency that works for you. Treatment sessions are one on one in the home because that is where life happens. A physician's prescription for Physical Therapy will be needed for treatment.
