Rhea Jacobson DPT MS is a sought-after physical therapist and medical cannabis educator in the Chicagoland area. Using a holistic approach, Dr. Jacobson develops individual, hands-on treatment plans for every client she sees in order to stimulate the body’s own healing abilities, from infants struggling to nurse to adults recovering from trauma.

While firmly grounded in Western medicine, Rhea also has extensive expertise in alternative modalities including cranial and visceral mobilization, as well as myofascial release.

More recently, Dr. Jacobson has expanded her practice to include medical cannabis education. Her passion for cannabis use as medicine has led her to pursue a Master’s Degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics. Dr. Jacobson’s goal is to educate the medical community and consumers about the medicinal and healing properties of cannabis, how it works with the body’s physiological systems, and to dispel the myths and stereotypes associated with cannabis. She has developed an online medical cannabis course: Introduction to Medical Cannabis and the Endocannabinoid System, where she provides reliable, research-based information on the medicinal properties of cannabis.
