First In Osteopractic Wellness

Overcome Pain. Restore Function. Optimize Performance.

At First In Osteopractic Wellness, we believe you deserve better than the typical rushed and generalized healthcare experience. Located in Putnam, CT, our clinic delivers elite-level physical therapy care rooted in years of expertise treating Special Operations military personnel. Our mission is simple: to help you overcome injury, restore optimal function, and elevate your performance—whether you're recovering from pain or chasing new personal bests.

We understand how frustrating it can be to feel lost in a healthcare system that prioritizes volume over quality. That’s why every patient at First In Osteopractic Wellness receives undivided, 1-on-1 attention from a fellowship-trained Doctor of Physical Therapy who is fully invested in your success.

A Proven Approach to Pain and Performance

At First In Osteopractic Wellness, we combine advanced manual therapy, precision strength programming, and comprehensive wellness coaching to create a personalized roadmap for your recovery and peak performance.



We don’t simply address the symptoms. Our expert providers identify the true root cause of your pain using extensive diagnostic skills honed from years working with elite military units. From there, we guide you through a comprehensive plan that integrates:

• Manual therapy (including dry needling, spinal and extremity manipulation, and soft tissue mobilization)
  
  
• Customized strength programming designed to enhance healing and resilience
  
  
• Nutrition, stress management, sleep optimization, and wellness coaching
  
  
• One-on-one treatment sessions lasting a full hour with your dedicated therapist

This integrated model ensures you leave stronger, healthier, and better equipped to stay out of the injury cycle.

A Higher Standard of Care You Can Trust

Unlike conventional clinics where you’re passed between assistants and only see your therapist for a few rushed minutes, our boutique practice delivers a true VIP experience:

• 1-on-1 appointments with your physical therapist every visit
  
  
• Fellowship-trained manual therapy expertise
  
  
• 60-minute dedicated treatment sessions
  
  
• Real strength equipment and performance-based rehab
  
  
• Tailored online access to exercises and ongoing support
  
  
• Comprehensive "bridge programs" to maintain your progress long-term

We eliminate the frustrations of mainstream healthcare to create a system designed for meaningful outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Testimonials

"I would highly recommend Jared! Initially, I was unsure how much Jared was going to be able to help me as I had already done physical therapy and had an orthopedic surgeon telling me my only options were hip injections or surgery for hip pain I was experiencing while working out. Neither option sounded great, so when I met Jared for an injury screen at my gym, I was excited to learn I might have another option.

I've been working with Jared for the past 5 months and have experienced significant improvements in a number of ailments I've developed while working out. He's extremely knowledgeable and uses a number of techniques I haven't previously seen in PT (cupping, dry needling, blood flow restriction). The hour long sessions allow for enough time to talk about what's going well (or not), for Jared to assess any issues that have come up, and move on to therapy/exercises without feeling rushed. I don't typically write reviews, but the care I have received from Jared deserves this excellent review!"

"Dr. Jared is exactly what we all want from our wellness practitioners - truly personalized, one-on-one treatment.



I recently went to him for a shoulder injury, and saw results within the first two months. He's since also treated me for a sciatica related issue. He takes the time to get to know you, your body, your lifestyle, daily routines, etc., and then puts a customized plan in place. Every session I have, I feel that I'm his only patient because he instantly remembers everything about me, my history and my progress. He focuses on healing and carefully strengthening the right areas, to prevent the same problems from recurring again.

I highly recommend Dr Jarod if you are looking to heal and strengthen a problem area, because he'll help you do it the right way - and you will not feel like a number, I can promise you that."

"I started coming to First In for shoulder and hip pain. Doc Jared has been absolutely amazing to work with! He tailors each movement to best help me build back strength to properly workout without hurting myself. He’s always one step ahead with a back up plan in case I am unable to do something. He takes the time to explain everything to ensure I know how each movement is helping to build the strength in each problem area. I cannot recommend him enough! I have seen other physical therapists in the past and left with no progress. Since starting here I have had no pain in working out. With my hectic work schedule he has even helped to create at-home work out plans to assist me in keeping active while still working on building strength and mobility."

"Dr. Jarod is an exceptional professional whose expertise, dedication, and personable nature have made a significant impact on my fitness journey. From day one, his deep knowledge, clear communication, and personalized approach made me feel confident and motivated. He takes the time to understand your individual goals, provides tailored guidance, and creates a supportive environment that pushes you to achieve real results. Thanks to his coaching, my strength, endurance, and overall well-being have improved tremendously. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and will absolutely continue working with him — I can’t recommend Dr. Jarod highly enough."

"I started working with Dr. Jared because I was in a ton of pain and couldn’t function in my day-to-day life. Whether it was work, exercise, or just trying to relax, everything hurt and I felt stuck.

After a few months of working with him, I finally feel like I’m getting my life back. I’m able to move again without pain and actually focus on building strength instead of just trying to get by.

I’m still working with Dr. Jared through a strengthening program he offers after the initial treatment, and it’s been a game changer. If you’re dealing with pain and want to actually make progress, I’d highly recommend him."

"Very professional, and has been patiently helping me with a nagging pinched nerve episode. I feel overall stronger and more mobile than before starting the Physical Therapy sessions."
