Meet Jeannie

Jeannie Newton, DPT, is the owner of Higher Form Physical Therapy and Pilates. She spent 11 years as a professional dancer before graduating with her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Belmont University in 2002, giving her a deep, firsthand understanding of the physical demands of competitive and professional dance.

Jeannie specializes in working with competitive dancers and dance teams, supporting recovery from dance-related injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and vestibular conditions including dizziness and balance challenges. She is Pilates certified and teaches private Pilates sessions, integrating Pilates with evidence-based physical therapy to support a safe and confident return to performance.

Her approach focuses on restoring strength, control, and technique so dancers can return to training and competition feeling resilient, confident, and prepared to perform at their highest level. Sessions at Higher Form help treat and relieve: headaches, TMJ, dizziness/vertigo/BPPV, cervical/neck pain. Including treatment for shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, hip, knee, and ankle/foot.

What Patients Say

“As a local high school football coach, I refer many of my players to Higher Form PT and their recovery results always benefit from time spent with Jeannie! I would recommend Higher Form to athletes young and old.”

– Coach Cliff

“I am on my feet all day at work and as a result suffer from lower back and hip pain. Jeannie has been incredible in helping me to overcome this pain and be more active in my daily life!”

– Bailey

“Thank you for all you’ve done to help me and my recovery. 2 and 1/2 years ago, I could not walk without any pain. Now I swim, bike and do strength training. AND I am able to live a life without many physical limitations. I do count myself as one of your “successes”!”

– Michael
