Restoring Human Movement DocJenFit Jen Esquer's Tips Instagram Building A Sports Medicine Practice
I met Dr. Jen Esquer at a seminar in 2018... not being too much of an Instagram junkie, someone in the course said, "Hey! Doc Jen Fit is here!" After looking into what Dr. Jen is all about, I had to have her on the podcast for an interview.
The interesting part about her content to me is that it's laid out in a very customer friendly way with great illustrations and it's very up to date stuff. Wat I mean my that is, that she's able to take some highly relevant information and break it down into lay terms… not just the old stuff from 20 years ago. Anyone can tell at patient to lay on a foam roller right?
Jen Esquer is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, who was able to successfully build a private practice with cash paying, highly motivated clients all through giving awesome information through Instagram. Find out how she did it in this podcast interview.

Dr. Jen Esquer Bio:
"The best way I like to explain myself, is that I am a MOVER!
I have been active since I was a young child, falling in love at an early age with gymnastics and competing for 9 years. After quitting at age 16, I competed in track and field (pole vault and triple jump) and danced. Though I sustained minor injuries, including a thumb fracture, sprained ankles, and pulled muscles, I never once went to a physical therapist. Yet, I loved anything having to do with anatomy, physiology, and without knowing for sure whether physical therapy would be my path, I decided to study Kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton.
While I coached gymnastics for 3 years, I found myself constantly asking, "Why am I taping an ankle? What is truly the issue and how can I help further?" I was seeking more! I was fortunate enough to meet someone teaching a Pilates Bootcamp and quickly fell in love with the specificity of body movement. I started instructing pilates classes, both on the reformer and mat for 6 years throughout undergrad and graduate school. Not only did I appreciate how much pilates reminded me of gymnastics conditioning, but I loved the focus on intricate muscle activation, isometric holds, strict form, and body awareness through core activation.
After graduating with my B.S. in Kinesiology, I was accepted into Loma Linda University where I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. I quickly accepted a job at VERT Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation in beautiful Santa Monica, CA. Since working, I have met amazing individuals who have aided in the expansion of my knowledge of the body. I have studied Myodetox directly under co-founder, Vinh Pham (@vinnierehab), taken a RockTape course with @themovementmastro herself, and learned from many others professionals in the rehab game.
I am now stepping into the next chapter of my career as a private sports therapist, creating programs, hosting workshops, and treating one on one for a more direct and precise experience.
Becoming educated on what is going on with your body is the most powerful piece of knowledge for establishing health and longevity for a pain-free and active lifestyle!"
