TEMPO TRAINING

Runner and Physical Therapist

Greetings !

My name is Jessica Mena, and I am a licensed Physical Therapist practicing in the Los Angeles Area.  I was born and raised in southern California in the small city of Reseda and I have been a runner for more than half my life (22 years now). I ran my first marathon at age 12 and have not stopped since. Running is my passion! I ran on a Division III collegiate national competitive team, I have ran for fun, for sport, and now for self competition.

 I landed in the physical therapy realm very organically after dabbling with Athletic Training in college. I knew it was my calling after a few years in sports medicine and then 1 year as a Physical therapy tech.   I graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2015. In 2018 I completed a 12 month postdoctoral Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency at one of the top Ortho residencies in the country. Soon after completing that I completed another 12 months at the Orthopaedic Manual Therapy and Sports Physical Therapy Fellowship with Kaiser Permanente.  You can say that when I put my mind to something I stick with it and work really hard to further develop my skills.  There is always room for improvement and I enjoy helping people reach their goals. After almost 9 years in corporate healthcare, I knew it was time to branch off some and work with athletes outside of the traditional healthcare system in order to continue to strive for optimal function and performance.

 My goal is to provide valuable information and quality services to help others reach a stronger, more resilient, healthier self.

Stay healthy, positive, and keep training smart!
