Testimonials

I came to PhysioKC with an open mind and a knee that needed help. I was assigned to PT Dr. Jonna Foley. After our initial meeting, we got to work. We have progressed to the point where my knee is doing much better. I have started playing golf again and am adding walks to my at-home therapy. Dr. J is working with me to strengthen my quad and hamstring to help stabilize the knee. I must add that the atmosphere is relaxed and fun, which is a huge plus in my journey to improve my knee as much as possible!

Highly Recommend For The Compassionate & Expert Care

Brett Beltrame is a very caring and attentive therapist, and he gave me excellent guidance during my therapy sessions.  It was a pleasure working with him. I will recommend him to others.

Pain Relief Without Surgery

Brett has been a big help to me. First with my knee and now with my back.  He was able to help reduce the pain in my knee enough that I didn’t need surgery.  I so enjoy my current visits because I always leave feeling better.

From Pain to Par: How Physical Therapy Got Me Back on the Golf Course

I could not bend over far enough to place a golf tee in the ground!  I thought I was going to have to give up my favorite hobby and exercise due to extreme pain in my lower back and legs anytime I would try to bend over.  After about one month of therapy with Brett Beltrame, I am now able to put the golf tee in the ground and enjoy golf again. Previously having tried pain medicine, epidural injections, fluoroscopic injections, all without success, I had become very discouraged.  

Brett is a wonderful therapist whom I highly recommend!

I am Free of Back Pain

My visits to physical therapy with Jenny set me on a path to wellness. I learned how my body heals, and always left with a renewed sense of well being after every session. I came with knee and back pain and little hope of feeling good physically. I was concerned how I would tolerate a plane ride to see my son and his family. I am free of back pain for travel and learned how to increase my everyday physical strength and endurance. Thank you Jenny for your skilled intervention and your compassionate care.

Skilled. Compassionate. Results-Driven.

I highly recommend Jenny Kern for her outstanding professionalism, expertise, and compassionate care. I was fortunate to connect with Jenny during my rehabilitation process, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. I have worked with her through a knee replacement and lower back strain. From the very first session, Jenny demonstrated a thorough understanding of my condition and tailored a treatment plan that addressed my specific needs; setting expectations/milestones at each phase of my recovery. Her ability to listen attentively, explain complex concepts in simple terms, and provide encouragement made every session productive and empowering. What sets Jenny apart is her dedication to patient success. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and progressing toward my goals. Whether it was adjusting exercises to fit my progress or offering practical advice for managing my condition outside of therapy, Jenny displayed a level of care that truly helped me recover in a rational manner – not too fast so the healing lasted. Thanks to Jenny, I regained mobility and confidence to resume my normal activities. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate physical therapist.

A Whole-Person Approach to Healing and Wellness

I’ve been seeing Jenny Kern for physical therapy for a while now and I see her as more than a physical therapist. I have multiple chronic illnesses and stress in my life and Jenny does both preventative health care and restoration for me. She educates me about my body and what I can do to improve my overall wellness. This has included giving me videos of exercises to complete at home, dry needling my neck when I have a migraine and pushing me to put myself and my health first. She is genuinely invested in how I’m feeling and what changes we can make to fit my life and my lifestyle. I’ve gone to other physical therapists, but none compare to Jenny!

From Debilitating Pain to Pain-Free—Without Surgery

I have been on the receiving end of Jenny’s therapy for two years now. It all started from a hip/leg pain that was so debilitating I had to sleep in a recliner. Even then I was in pain. Diagnosed with L3,4 and L5 deterioration, therapy was recommended as a first step. Jenny interviewed me, reviewed my Drs. diagnosis with a very professional understanding of the problem. Her approach was to design a treatment plan just for me. Not a cookie cutter approach. Each session was a discussion of how the treatment helped or did not. Jenny listened well and adjusted the next accordingly. I can attest that over this time there were some ups and downs but for the last six months I have been pain free. Surgery was avoided and I am so thankful for that. I am now in maintenance mode and due to my age, working on balance and strengthening. Thank you Jenny! You have kept an old man going.

I’m 79 and Feeling Stronger

Over the past few years, I’ve struggled with ongoing neck and back pain. When my doctor recommended physical therapy, I was incredibly fortunate to find Dr. Jenny Kern. From the start, I could tell I was in expert hands. No two sessions are the same—she might begin with a gentle neck massage or some back stretches, then guide me through strengthening exercises in the gym. Every step is thoughtful, purposeful, and tailored to how I’m feeling that day. Dr. Jenny has also helped me recover from a broken arm, and now, at age 79, we’re working on improving my balance. She challenges me in all the right ways, but she also makes it fun. I always look forward to our sessions—not just for the progress, but for the positivity and encouragement she brings. I highly recommend Dr. Jenny Kern to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely caring physical therapist.
