Hi! I’m Jen.
I’ve been serving Austin families since 2013.
As a physical therapist for infants and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), I specialize in nurturing the development of the littlest patients, from newborns to toddlers. My combined knowledge of infant motor development and lactation support enables me to address the interconnected nature of physical development and breastfeeding. With expertise in conditions like torticollis, plagiocephaly, and developmental delays, I create play-based therapy plans that help infants reach their movement milestones. My approach combines gentle techniques with parent education, ensuring that each child receives the support they need to grow, explore, and thrive in their early years.
Dr. Jennifer Gaewsky, PT, DPT, CBS.
