"It is very rewarding to help patients return their normal activities. Every patient is unique, and I enjoy working side by side with each patient in order to accomplish his or her goals. I believe physical therapy is not solely for rehabilitation of injury, but to provide others with tools for prevention and generalized health."

Christina's special interests include vestibular rehabilitation, balance and falls, return to sport, return to running, and orthopedics. She is an avid athlete still playing soccer, football, short and long distance running. She completed the Boston Marathon in 2017.

" I find great pleasure in my job watching patient's achieve their goals. One of my jobs as a physical therapist is to provide guidance to help patients succeed in physical therapy and help them return to their prior level of function. I enjoy getting to know my patients and working with them to help establish goals for physical therapy. I enjoy working with patients that include generalized orthopedic conditions, post-operative patients, and balance/fall prevention training."

“Instead of restrictions, patients deserve solutions that allow them to safely continue performing the activities that are most important to them. Every patient has unique goals that he/she is hoping to achieve in physical therapy, and reaching these goals requires a unique and customized regimen. This starts with the physical therapist asking the right questions and listening to the patient closely. I am passionate about working with patients to learn what is important to them, and giving them the tools to take an active role in their recovery. I take pride in collaborating with patients throughout this process, beginning with a hands-on approach, and ultimately progressing to training healthy movement patterns to minimize injury risk in the future.”
