James Silvestri

James (Jim) is a graduate of the LSU School of Allied Health Professions. Since becoming a physical therapist, Jim has earned certifications in the McKenzie Method (MDT), Functional Dry Needling (FDN), Kinesio Taping, and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). Jim is also a certified Pitching Coach and specializes in the shoulder and elbow, having completed more than thirty post-graduate courses in UE alone. He also excels in treating the spine, knees, and overall wellness to bridge the gap between rehab and lifestyle fitness.

At work, Jim enjoys helping patients by restoring regional interdependence – the concept that seemingly unrelated dysfunction in a different region of the body may be associated with a patient’s primary complaint. Jim values a healthy lifestyle and believes it’s vitally important to quality of life. He is motivated to make a difference in the lives of people with injuries or other impairments.

Outside of work, Jim loves spending time with his wife, Sherry, and being outdoors fishing, skiing, and training their Siberian Husky, Zoey. The adventurous duo are DIYers and have completed several renovations to their home in Seymour. They are always up for taking on new challenges and staying active through dedicated exercises, hiking and other outdoor activities.
