Arancia Physical Therapy

Conquering mystery pain is the personal mission of Dr. Jessica Papa, PT, DPT. It is also the title of a book she has written on this timely and often urgent topic. Jessica Papa, known to her patients as Dr. Jess, is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who opened her practice, Arancia Physical Therapy, after years of rigorous schooling and a wide range of experiences in the field. Today patients from around the region ~and well-beyond through the advances of tele-medicine ~ come to Arancia Physical Therapy to find relief through Dr. Jess's unique approach to the alleviation of chronic pain.In the months and years leading up to the opening of Arancia Physical Therapy, Dr. Jess's career took a dramatic turn when a frustration with the traditional methods of therapy she had been practicing led to the discovery of the work of John F. Barnes, the developer of the Myofascial Release approach. This was a turning point and career-altering experience for Dr. Jess. It is the adoption of this unique approach to the management of pain that changed her entire way of thinking and practicing.Patients come to Arancia Physical Therapy from all walks of life with conditions that range from Neck pain to Tailbone, Sacroiliac and Low Back Pain to Pelvic Floor Pain and Dysfunction. Urinary Incontinence. Prostate Health. Mastectomy Pain. Infertility problems. Adhesions from Abdominal Surgery. There is little about chronic pain that Dr. Jess is unprepared to mitigate through her holistic approach.What sets Dr. Jess apart from her peers is this whole-body approach to these and other conditions. It is always her mission to tackle the root cause of any pain source and ultimately teach patients as much as possible about their bodies so they feel empowered and confident to self-treat on a daily basis. Helping patients achieve pain relief is easy, the challenge is keeping it gone ~ and this is when Dr. Jess's ongoing coaching becomes so important.
