“I think the most learning comes from when you’re in the trenches, too. Having suffered from chronic neck pain and headaches I understand how chronic pain can affect your life from the time you wake up to the time you finally lie down. It’s also career-changing when you become the patient and how you can better yourself as a practitioner because you’ve had the experience of being on the other side, which I’ve recently experienced with a thumb injury and with a shoulder injury.”
Dr. Everett was recently interviewed regarding Risk Management in the Physical Therapy clinic where she provided insight on how to protect both the patient and the practitioner in daily practice.
In 2021, Jamie Childs Everett, PT, DPT traveled to Washington D.C to meet with Senators Barrasso and Lummis as well as Representative Cheney regarding patient access to physical therapy including reimbursement.
Dr. Everett also received the “Women of Influence Health Care Award” presented by Tom Wolfe CEO Premier Bone & Joint Centers in 2021.“Dr. Everett holds a Doctorate, Board-Certification, and Fellowship in Physical Therapy. She was nationally recognized for legislation changes for patient access to physical therapy in Wyoming, currently serves as President for the Wyoming PT association, and recently pressed for legislation changes in Washington DC including changes to Medicare reimbursement.”
She is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and also has certifications in specialized areas of physical therapy including functional dry needling, lymphedema management, instrumented soft tissue mobilization, ACL prevention programs including Sportsmetrics, FMS, and SFMA (functional movement screen) amongst other certifications. Her greatest enjoyment is when the patient she is working with finally realizes they are doing what they never thought they could do, including deadlifting a loaded barbell.
Jamie played soccer for a division I NCAA school and continues to enjoy coaching at both the recreational and competitive levels. She enjoys time with her husband when they can get outdoors to snowboard or ski, mountain bike, ATV, hike, or even scuba dive (where it’s warm of course).
“I can’t wait for what lies ahead! I have two of the greatest colleagues, Dr. Sarah Anderson, who has such exceptional enthusiasm for the profession, and Ciera Carter who is the most knowledgeable physical therapist assistant I have met. They both keep me wanting to learn. I frequently watch them working with patients and think ‘dang that’s a good idea’.
“I have the greatest job, I get to help people in their journey to getting back to life and have fun doing it.”
