Welcome! I am Jered Hartman, Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner/founder of Hart Strength & Rehab PLLC. With over 12 years of experience as a physical therapist at UW Health in the Rockford, Illinois region, I am bringing a patient-first, results-driven approach to care back to a community that means so much to me. Originally from Freeport, Illinois, I proudly graduated from Freeport High School as a Pretzel. My background as an athlete and personal experiences with injury recovery have helped shape my philosophy of care—focused on individualized treatment, clear communication, and empowering patients throughout their rehabilitation journey. I specialize in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation, and utilize evidence-based treatments such as dry needling and blood flow restriction therapy to improve outcomes and accelerate recovery. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, lifting weights and coaching my 4 daughters in basketball, soccer, and track.
