Personal Story
Rhiannon’s path into physical therapy looks a little different from most. For a lot of PTs, it was a personal injury early in life that sparked their calling. Rhiannon didn’t have that experience. What she had was a deep, lifelong love of movement. She wanted to understand the body, and more than that, she wanted to help people use theirs in ways they never thought possible.
When Rhiannon decided to go back to school, she was already working as a personal trainer and kept training clients throughout her entire PT education. For her, it was the perfect laboratory. It deepened Rhiannon’s understanding of how to program for real bodies, and it gave her a front-row seat to a gap in this field: the space between rehab and performance. Bridging that gap became something Rhiannon was determined to excel at.
Rhiannon found her way to Custom Performance because she kept hearing the same things from clients: the PTs there were exceptional and the culture was different. Having been at Custom as her PT herself now, Rhiannon can tell you that every bit of it is true. Everyone on this team is sharp, driven, and genuinely invested in each other’s growth. It’s a rare thing, and she doesn’t take it for granted.
Treatment Style
- Rhiannon loves working with anyone and everyone… that’s not a line, it’s genuinely how she feels. There is something incredibly rewarding about helping someone accomplish what they had written off as impossible. But she has a particular soft spot for people who are working toward a specific goal: a race, a lift, a return to something they love.
- Rhiannon’s approach is collaborative, and she means that in the truest sense. It’s your body. You’re the one guiding the show. Her job is to be in your corner when things get sticky, to help you understand what’s happening, build a plan together, and make sure you leave with more tools than you came in with.
“Dr. Jardim is a magician. In less than 4 months she made me run NYC half 2025 without injury and with better than the pace I ever imagined. With major issues with foot arch, back and Sciatic, it’s nothing less than magic how she prepped me for the race. Dr. Jardim is nothing less than Dr. Strange from Marvel :)”
