Physical Therapy
After the insane ordeal Jessica underwent in Iraq, she needed serious care. This wasn’t simple like a minor cosmetic surgery. Far from easy cosmetic surgery, Jessica needed many more procedures. Yet, this intense road to recovery didn’t prove to be unconquerable for her. Over the last fifteen years, she continually pushed herself to reach the best level of physical shape. Together with a physical therapy team, they have helped heal injuries and mend her broken back. Jessica spoke on the importance of this part of her journey, “Physical therapy is my second home. It has helped me through everything. Overall I’ve had, I think, up to 22 surgeries because of the internal damaged that I suffered, along with the nerve damage and the broken back.”
