Hi! I’m Tessa. I’m so glad you’ve found me and PT Plus! I am a Lodi native and graduate of Lodi High School- class of  2006. I attended UC Davis for my undergraduate degree, and then ventured to North Carolina and graduated from Duke University in 2014 with my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. I then went on to obtain my Manual Therapy Certification in 2015 and became dry needling certified in 2016.

 My background is mostly in outpatient orthopedics, but after having my daughter in 2021, I found a passion for pelvic health and identified a huge gap in the availability of pelvic health practitioners. When I returned from maternity leave, I dove into training and have now completed multiple courses and a mentorship program. I am involved in pelvic health forums across the country and remain active in continuing to further my pelvic health knowledge and skills.  I built a pelvic health program at our local hospital clinic before deciding yo venture out on my own. Although, it’s a great start, I felt like the constraints of a large hospital system were not conducive to the type of care I wanted to provide for my pelvic health patients. Thus, PT+ was born!
