Dr. Jacob Mosko

I grew up in Los Gatos, California, as the middle child of two brothers. Baseball was my passion, but I tore a ligament in my elbow at the age of 13. After nine months of rehab, I fell in love with the prospect of being a physical therapist.

I attended the University of Oregon and received my BS in Human Physiology. While at UO, I competed for two years on the club rowing team and one year on the ski and snowboarding team.

After undergrad, I attended Columbia University for PT school. I participated in research with the baseball team and continued my passion for teaching by volunteering as a teaching assistant in the anatomy lab and with the biomechanics courses.

While at Columbia, I completed 4 clinical rotations to build my clinical experience while working with complex patient presentations. Two of my rotations focused on outpatient orthopedics and sports. My second rotation at New York Presbyterian gave me exposure working with vestibular and neuro-based patients. My only inpatient experience was at OHSU in Portland, Oregon, working in the acute care trauma wing. Each of my clinical instructors made a meaningful contribution to my career by encouraging me to never stop learning.

My core values are equity, access to care, respect for oneself and others, honesty, and accountability.

I specialize in weight lifting, biomechanical analysis, running analysis, sports-focused rehab, and overhead athlete arm care (baseball, tennis, volleyball, etc). I also enjoy treating generalized back pain, chronic pain, acute overuse injuries, post-operative care, and rehab focused on functional tasks like gardening and doing laundry.

Working at Forefront Physical Therapy gives me the freedom to utilize a large range of equipment in a high energy work environment. Forefront also provides incredible mentorship and growth opportunities and lets me live and work in an excellent location.
