Jean Coletti, PT is a graduate of West Virginia University in Exercise Physiology and from the University of Pittsburgh for her Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy. She has worked as a physical therapist in several different states as both staff and management. Her treatment focus includes lymphatic disorders, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, manual therapy and dry needling.  Ms. Coletti has been certified in Manual Lymph Drainage and Combined Decongestive Therapy and treating lymphatic disorders for 19 years. Her certification is through the Dr. Vodder School of North America in Victoria, BC, Canada. This is Dr. Vodder’s original method and is the most rigorous training in the field of lymphatic system treatment. She is required to recertify every two years  to keep the method true and to keep up on the latest research. Ms. Coletti began lymphedema programs at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL, Ruby Memorial Cancer Center at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV and at CarePartners Outpatient Rehabilitation in Asheville, NC.  As well as treating lymphedema, Ms. Coletti has developed a sincere interest in treating and supporting those with Fat Disorders, like Dercum’s Disease and Lipedema. Her self-education and mentoring by those with these disorders led her to the purchase of a CVAC unit through 8th Element. Ms. Coletti has begun to collect a team of health professionals to assist these clients. She hopes that Asheville will become a destination for the care and management of these orphan diseases.
