bio
Jim Palmer’s journey into physical therapy began in 1999 after a low back injury, sparking his appreciation for the body’s resilience and the role of therapy in both healing and injury prevention. Jim has a Masters in Physical Therapy from the University of Central Florida in 2004 and a Doctorate from the University of Montana in 2013. He also holds certifications in various techniques like The Mulligan Concept, trigger point dry needling and Orthopedic Manual Therapy. He believes that prescribing a multifaceted approach (hands-on techniques, progressive exercise, and education) will assist in faster and more complete recovery from injuries.
Frustrated by standard practices after years of working for traditional physical therapy companies, Jim founded Palmer Concierge Physical Therapy in 2019 in NYC with a mission of providing personalized physical therapy and fitness to busy active New Yorkers in the privacy and convenience of their home, place of work, or hotel. Palmer Concierge Physical Therapy has grown from him to a small team of dedicated professionals who care for busy professionals, parents, children, grandparents, high school and semi-professional athletes, expecting and postpartum mothers. Today, his dedicated team serves a diverse clientele, including professionals, parents, children, grandparents, high school and semi-professional athletes, expecting and postpartum mothers.
