Koerner Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, 2707 Vine, Ste. 1, has welcomed physical therapist Dr. JillianStecklein, PT, DPT, to the practice.

Stecklein grew up in suburban Chicago. After completing her bachelors of science in molecular and cellular biology and psychology from the University of Urbana-Champaign, she completed her doctorate of physical therapy at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has a great passion for physical therapy and has wanted to be a physical therapist since high school.

She previously was the clinic manager and physical therapist at Coal Creek Physical Therapy in Colorado. She is excited to be living in Hays and working at Koerner Chiropractic & Physical Therapy. She met her husband, Kelton, who is from Hays, while at a catholic adventure camp in the Rockies. She finds great joy in serving the community with her skills and experience. She enjoys sharing time with her family, the outdoors, cooking, bible studies, competing in triathlons, and volunteering to help the underserved.

She brings a variety of exceptional skills and knowledge for treatment including: post-surgical rehab, vestibular rehab, concussion management, and excellent skills for management of acute and chronic pain. Whether you are looking to play on the ground with your grandkids or run a marathon, she is passionate about getting all people back to the highest quality of life possible.

She is certified in Functional Dry Needling (Dry Needling). It is an awesome way to speed up the recovery process using a thin filament needle inserted directly into the muscle to help increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and reduce tissue tension quicker.

Jill also brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and treatment for postnatal women. If you are a postnatal woman experiencing any urinary leakage or if you have noticed a separation of the muscles on the front of your stomach, you may have a residual diastasis recti, or separation of the abdominal muscles. This could result in hernias, lower back pain and even create a tummy that wont go flat again. Her treatment can help you avoid long-term changes and injury.

Additionally, she has the knowledge and experience in treatment of pediatric patients. If you care for or know a child who is having any difficulty with meeting their motor milestones: delayed rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking; give her a call. She utilizes fun activities and therapeutic play to help kids get stronger and learn how to move. Whether the child was premature, has torticollis, or deals with other developmental delays because of diagnoses like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or Down Syndrome; she makes sure everyone has the opportunity to maximize their movement.

Furthermore, she is trained in Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). It takes a global look at your movement patterns and can help tell if you are about to have an injury; and potentially be able to reduce the risk of having that injury by working on dysfunction before it even happens. It is a great way of screening your workers or athletes for injury.

She is also trained in the Associative Awareness Technique (AAT), which addresses anxiety, depression and PTSD that might be limiting your progress in therapy.

Physical therapy is an amazing blend of preventative medicine, leadership, exercise and nutrition, and I cant wait to help you get back to what you love! she said.
