Smithson Valley Physical Therapy
Jessica McCleary, PT, DPT Physical Therapist

Jessica McCleary, PT, DPT, is originally from Montana and now brings her energy and expertise to our team. She completed her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at the University of Texas at San Antonio and earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine. Jessica was inspired to become a physical therapist after her own powerful recovery—she went from being nearly unable to walk to running a full marathon, thanks to the care she received. She is certified in Functional Dry Needling and enjoys treating a wide range of conditions. What she loves most about being a PT is getting to know her patients and helping them return to the activities they love. Outside the clinic, Jessica enjoys traveling with her family, baking, and snuggling her dogs. She’s also a U.S. Army veteran who served as an Arabic linguist—and yes, she’s jumped out of perfectly good airplanes! Jessica’s approach to care focuses on education: she believes in helping her patients understand how their bodies work and guiding them through the “why” behind their recovery, so they can return to the life they love with confidence.
