Jaclyn DeCristoforo, DPT
Dry Needling Certified
Jackie is originally from North Kingstown. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences University (MCPHS University) in 2018. Prior to PT school, Jackie earned her Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in 2015.
Since graduating, she has worked exclusively in outpatient orthopedics. She enjoys working with all athletes- especially basketball players as a former basketball player herself, as well as patients recovering from knee and ankle injuries.
Her approach to physical therapy centers around individualized treatment. She believes each patient presents with unique needs and goals and she selects exercises and treatment strategies based on their specific presentation to help them get back to their prior level of function.
Outside of the clinic, Jackie enjoys staying active through lifting weights, running, hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, golfing, playing tennis and pickleball, and shooting some hoops. She enjoys new activities and spending time outdoors. She brings the same appreciation for an active lifestyle into her work with patients.
