words cannot truly encapsulate how incredibly gifted Shawn Jackson is…i suffered an injury to my cervical spine three years ago which resulted in herniated discs and on-and-off numbness in my left arm. i had tried everything from chiropractic, a physical therapist in door county, acupuncture, OTC pain meds, natural supplements, massage therapy, ice baths, etc. to no avail. i felt as if i was a prisoner inside my 36 year old body. i couldn’t work, didn’t sleep well (would wake up several times each night to change out ice packs) …basically the pain colored my world bleak, affected my mood and my outlook. it was such a defeating and helpless feeling to start considering the idea i might need surgery. that’s when a friend recommended i give Shawn a try. and what a blessing…
Shawn’s approach is different than anyone i’ve ever seen before but the results do not lie. the best way i could explain his approach is that he gently and methodically unravels the aggravations in your body. he is an innate healer. there have been, in the handful of times in my maybe 10-12 sessions i’ve had with him where i’ll start to get emotional because the difference in pain from when i walk in the door from when i walk out 45 minutes later is so palpable… it’s transformative. when you’ve struggled with any chronic pain and nothing brings relief and then suddenly you don’t have that, well it is quite an overwhelming experience in the best way.
while Shawn doesn’t leave me with a list of exercises to go home with like other PTs do, during our 45 minute sessions weekly, we discuss what i did the week prior to cause a flare up. he helps me brainstorm new ways to approach daily tasks so that i don’t experience a flare-up. learning to re-wire how i do certain activities has been difficult for me at times but i am so elated that i’m not defaulting to surgery to “heal” this but rather using a non-invasive approach. my pain when i started a couple months ago was at a 10. now its at 0 unless i do something strenuous between sessions to flare it up yet even when that happens, the pain doesn’t go above a 3.
one thing that may deter you is that Renew doesn’t take insurance. while i don’t find that Shawn is overpriced in any way, i was a little wary of my out-of-pocket expenses considering i drive 2 hours one way to see him. however, thanks to Shawn, im not seeking out other pricey methods to quell my pain. and honestly, being pain-free nearly all the time is priceless. not only in the sense of eliminating pain, but in the sense that i feel better overall and have my optimism back.
i cannot be more thankful for Shawn and his abilities to help heal. not to mention, he is an incredibly kind person with amazing outlooks on life. and his wife Barb who works at the front desk couldn’t be any kinder of a person either. there is a brightness to both of them and i enjoy my weekly visits not only to help my pain but to chit chat with them as well.

I can’t thank Shawn Jackson, PT, DPT at Renew Physical Therapy enough for the incredible care and support he’s given me. After years of dealing with constant thigh cramps and no real answers, I was referred to Shawn—and it truly changed everything. From the very first appointment, he took the time to really listen, understand my concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan. His unique approach and deep expertise have not only reduced my symptoms significantly, but have also improved my overall well-being. I’m beyond grateful for the compassion, knowledge, and healing he’s brought into my life.
Thank you for making such a difference in my health and my life. I highly recommend Renew Physical Therapy to anyone searching for more than just a diagnosis—but real, lasting healing.
Highly recommend Renew Physical Therapy!

Was referred by an amazing PT, Matt Agen, to Shawn Jackson when we were out of options for my neck. I failed round two of nerve ablation trials and reached out to Renew. Cervical spine issues had me in a miserable state constantly & I was hopeless, absolutely devastated when pain management proved no help. I was getting headaches that pulsed daily while being in constant 7/10 pain. I can gladly say I haven’t had a headache that bad since starting with Shawn less than 2 months ago and pain is finally manageable. It’s been life-changing. I got a new job around the same time while still working the old job and he’s been able to help me adapt to both jobs with my cervical spine issues. I’m so thankful. We still have work to do, but he’s been a source of hope, information, honesty, and unbelievable relief. I can go through life again! Thank you Shawn Jackson!

If I could give Shawn Jackson 6 stars, I would. He has a very different approach to physical therapy and he is simply AMAZING at what he does! I brought my 16 year old son into him due to some hip / back pain that he was dealing with. He wasn't able to wrestle because of how bad the pain got. After two weeks of pushing through the pain and regionals only a couple days away, Shawn got him in on very short notice. Shawn worked on him for about 20 minutes and my sons face said it all after he got up from the table. Almost 0 pain after that one short visit. He went back to Shawn one more time the next day and felt 100 percent for regionals. Shawn has allowed my son to get back on the mat and finish his season out with a podium finish of 4th place at State. Without Sean this wouldn't have been possible. I am very grateful for the gift that God has truly blessed Shawn with.

I was referred to Renew Physical Therapy by a friend who was being treated for migraines by Shawn. I have suffered from migraines for more than 30 years and decided that physical therapy was worth a try. By the end of our first session, Shawn clearly explained to me how and why I get the migraines I have. No other doctor or medical professional I consulted had ever done that; they just asked about my symptoms and then prescribed drugs. I do still occasionally need the drugs, but only once every 4-6 weeks instead of once or twice a week. I also appreciate the fact that I continue to learn from Shawn about this condition as well as benefit from his gentle and effective treatment. Its always a good day when I have an appointment because I know the staff will be friendly and efficient and I'll leave feeling like a new person.

I thought I had plantar fasciitis but he clearly identified the underlying problem and completely corrected it in a few visits...a problem I had been suffering with for many months .

I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone who asked. I have worked with many physical therapists for both knee pain and migraines. We were able to make progress on both things relatively quickly and I felt more relief than ever before for both issues. The unique angle Shawn takes on his patients’ treatment may be just what you need for pains or injuries that haven’t been helped before!
