"I contacted Jill several months after I seriously injured my knee while rock climbing. I initially attempted to do things on my own, of course relying on YouTube videos for my own self care. And while it got a bit better with this strategy, I was still have lots of difficulty with even daily activities and I was nowhere near able to get back to rock climbing. I finally realized I needed help and so I called Jill. From the very beginning, she was very caring and thorough. She explains everything in a way that I can grasp; she takes the time to ensure that I understand everything and this is very comforting to me. I am already doing better after just a few sessions. I now realize that my body was not up to the task of rock climbing five days in a row and this likely is part of what led to my injury. I know that I will get back to rock climbing with Jill’s help as she offers not just physical therapy but also wellness which bridges the gap between where physical therapy ends and getting you fully back to your activity! I only wished I had called her sooner!"

ABOUT ME
Dr. Jill C Mitchell, PT, DPT, COMT, Cert DN
My name is Jill Mitchell, PT, DPT.  I am originally from Dallas, growing up in the Lake Highlands area.  I attended Tulane University for my undergraduate education and then Texas Woman's University in Dallas for my Doctorate in Physical Therapy.  I have an advanced certification in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (COMT) and am Level 1 & 2 certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling.  I have spent the majority of my PT career working in an outpatient setting. I was often treating numerous patients at one time, increasingly frustrated by the limits of a patient's insurance, and not being able to see them fully through their recovery, let alone proactively for wellness.  I decided to start Thrive Physio and Wellness so that I could provide top quality patient care not only in times of recovery but also optimal health through prevention and wellness services.

"I had never had physical therapy before and so I did not know what to expect. I had stopped running more than a year ago due to plantar fasciitis that was unrelenting. I had experienced it before in the past and previously it had gone away on its own. But this time was different. I contacted Jill about a year after my last time to run. I only wish I had contacted her sooner. From the beginning Jill was very thorough with her approach. She evaluated not just my feet but my entire body to see what factors elsewhere might be contributing to my current problem. She explained everything really well where I fully understood why I was doing what I was doing. I also learned about the nature of overuse injuries and how my training errors contributed to my repeated injuries. She helped me to get back to running and I continue to progress towards my goals. I could not have done it without Jill’s help!"
