Haven Integrative Physical Therapy

Both graduated from Daemen University and pursued travel physical therapy for 4 years prior to moving back to their home town of WNY. Travel work has lead them all the way from Maine to Alaska and everything in between. Among the states they worked in, they also worked in a variety of settings and took advantage of continued education courses from professionals all across the country. 

The owners, Dr. Katherine Jacob and Dr. Joshua Jacob, opened this clinic to provide unique one on one personalized fascial care to those dealing with chronic pain and immobility who have not found relief. Both practitoners have done extensive post-graduate training to learn technqiues that provide lasting relief and address structures that most manual therapies are unable to target. 

Dr. Katherine found a love for health and wellness from participatiing in dance and gymnastics as a teenager and hoping to pursue a profession that empowered people to take control of their health. Dr. Katherine recieved her doctorate in physical therapy in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic and has experience in both treating chronic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. She is passionate about empowering people to take back their health and find options outside of pain medication to provide relief. She believes in the power of the body to heal itself once given the right opportunities and knows from her own personal experiences as both a recipient and a provider of the technique Fascial Counterstrain, the 'magic' that can happen. In her spare time, you can find her doing yoga, baking, snowboarding and playing with her dog.

Dr. Josh recieved his doctorate in physical therapy in 2021 and since then has experience working in travel physical therapy in over 10 states. His passion is for working with patients such as athletes, vestibular conditions, head injuries, and those who have experienced chronic pain. He dealt with years of unexplained low back pain as a young adult with no relief from traditional treatments he could find over the years. He was fortunate to find the revolutionary technique known as Fascial Counterstrain through a clinical mentor in college that he shadowed. He had never experienced or seen anything this powerful with instant long lasting relief anywhere in his training. After struggling with chronic back pain, he was amazed that within 1 treatment his pain reduced by 80%. He contineud on to study Fascial Counterstrain for years afterwards, in pursuit of helping individuals who feel stuck or hopeless due to their lack of success with treatment of their chronic pain.
