Jen Tester

Physical Therapist Assistant (Shawnee)
PTA, LSVT BIG Cert.

I grew up on a farm with my parents, older sister and younger brother. I graduated high school from Spencerville and then received my Associate’s degree in Physical Therapy Assisting from Rhodes State College. I am married to my husband of almost 15 years and have a daughter, Olivia, and a son, Camden. My husband and I enjoy watching our kids show their pigs at the county fair and participate in sports and band.

I have 19 years of experience as a Physical Therapist Assistant and have worked in outpatient primarily as well as acute care, nursing homes, home health and aquatics.

Let your faith be bigger than your fears.

I am certified in LSVT BIG and have training in muscle energy techniques for the lumbosacral and pelvic regions.

Treatments that I enjoy treating are really, all types especially low back pain and sports-related injuries.

Something that I see patients struggle with that I want to help is their pain and lack of function.

What I love the most about working at Back on Track is the fun atmosphere, availability of equipment, and our wonderful patients.

Patient Testimonials

Jennifer was my PTA a few times over these past 5 years. She was professional, friendly and persistent that I work hard to feel the best I can. Astym was a great therapy for me and Jennifer was one of the few employees that were certified. I was lucky to have her as a PTA. She is a natural leader and someone you want on your team! – Patti Stahl

About 5 years ago I had two total knee replacement surgeries approximately a month apart. I was fortunate enough to have Jennifer assigned to me as my PTA. I found her to be a very kind, caring and knowledgeable person that helped me immensely in recovering full use and flexibility of my knees. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of physical therapy. If I ever have need for physical therapy in the future I’m certainly going to return to Jennifer. I can never thank her enough for helping me with my recovery! – Randy Bennett

I came to therapy after a repair of a complete hamstring rupture. I was in therapy for 12 weeks and I have so much gratitude for my team of clinicians. My rehabilitation was excellent and I can’t say enough good things about this wonderful team. I wouldn’t be back to my very active lifestyle without them!
