Dr. Jarrod loves the people, both his amazing co-workers and his amazing patients.
Something patients have to deal with that Dr. Jarrod wants to fix is pain, but even more so, the feeling that their functional abilities are slipping away. He wants to positively impact patients’ lives every day by restoring function they thought they had lost forever.

Thanks for caring
Jarrod has been wonderful to work with throughout my recovery. He is kind, knowledgeable, and truly takes the time to understand the bigger picture rather than only focusing on one injury. While I initially came in for a knee injury, he also helped identify and address other imbalances throughout my body that were either contributing to or flaring up because of my knee issues. His whole-body approach has made such a positive difference in my recovery, and I’m incredibly grateful for his care and expertise. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physical therapist who genuinely listens and cares about long-term healing.
Kings physical therapy goes above and beyond to assist their clients back to optimum physical strength and pain relief. Jarrod is always professional and kind while providing support and therapeutic skills.
