What patients sayResearch and Evidence-Based Rehabilitation

Jordyn's graduate work also includes an academic research focus on knee injury rehabilitation and aquatic therapy.

In 2025, she presented a research project at Montclair State University's Student Research Symposium titled “The Effectiveness of Aquatic Therapy on Knee Injuries.” The project reviewed research on aquatic rehabilitation for knee injuries, including its potential effects on pain, swelling, physical function, range of motion, and walking ability.

Her review examined peer-reviewed research published between 2010 and 2025 and explored how properties of water, including buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and viscosity, may make aquatic exercise useful during knee rehabilitation. The research also considered how improvements in function can support progression toward more demanding activities, including plyometric training.

This research experience adds another dimension to Jordyn's clinical background: she has experience evaluating rehabilitation approaches through the lens of published evidence, not just practical training.

Training Philosophy

Jordyn believes rehabilitation should be challenging without losing sight of the person behind the injury.

She works to make exercise purposeful and engaging while adjusting each program to the patient's current abilities, goals, and stage of recovery. She recognizes that progress is different for everyone. A successful outcome might be getting through a workday comfortably, walking around New York City without symptoms, returning to a favorite workout class, or competing again after an injury.

Her goal is to help patients build the strength, movement confidence, and physical capacity they need to keep progressing beyond the clinic.

A Creative Approach to Exercise

Known around the clinic as the “Pilates queen,” Jordyn brings energy and creativity to her sessions. She enjoys finding new ways to make exercise challenging while keeping patients engaged.

Rather than relying on the same exercises for everyone, she looks for ways to adapt movement and training to the individual's needs. This can make rehabilitation feel less repetitive while still keeping the focus on measurable progress.

Working With Athletes

Jordyn's combination of athletic experience, graduate-level athletic training education, and rehabilitation research is particularly relevant for active patients and athletes.

She understands that returning to sport involves more than simply getting out of pain. Athletes often need to rebuild strength, movement control, endurance, confidence, and tolerance for sport-specific demands before returning to full participation.

Her approach can be especially valuable for high school and collegiate athletes, recreational athletes, runners, and active adults who want to return to exercise safely and confidently.

Outside the Clinic

Outside of clinical work, Jordyn enjoys trying new workout classes and finding creative ways to keep movement interesting. Her interest in different forms of exercise carries into her treatment approach, where she looks for practical and enjoyable ways to help patients stay active.

Whether someone is recovering from an injury, improving their strength, or working toward a return to sport, Jordyn brings an energetic and individualized approach to every session.
