Meet Jackie Varnum | Doctor of Physical Therapy, strength coach


We had the good fortune of connecting with Jackie Varnum and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Spectrum Performance helps people move and feel better. We chose “performance” versus “physical therapy” because we offer so much more than your standard PT. Depending on where they are along the spectrum, we are able to help people make steady progress towards their goals. They might have recently suffered an injury, or been dealing with pain for years, or want to shave some time off of their half marathon, or build some muscle; we have the sport and coaching background to help all of these folks while also using our “PT brain” to tailor the plan to their needs! I’ve found that our authentic enthusiasm for helping people do hard things attracts the clients who are ready to make a change and see the results.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Starting the day off with a Banjo coffee from here in Avondale Estates is a must, then heading over to Hell Yea Gluten Free for a pastry (or 4)! We really love all of the green space in Atlanta. So some grass volleyball at Grant Park is right up my alley. Then of course a stroll down the beautiful beltline!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband, Al, has been instrumental in the growth and success of Spectrum Performance. He was one of the biggest cheerleaders when I was on the fence about going out on my own. On the day-to-day he has taken on several unofficial roles as IT support, secretary, business manager, etc. Al is also the lucky recipient of experiments for treatments and exercises we want to introduce!
