complementary medicine, she traveled to Germany for two months to study in a clinic known for its manual therapy and complementary medicine, Klinic Bavaria.  To further strengthen her manual therapy skills she has completed courses in the Maitland technique, Kinesio-Tex taping, Graston, Cupping, Holistic Treatment of Pain, myofascial release, pilates, mechanics of running, the movement system and women’s health classes. She has also had training in Vestibular rehabilitation.  Furthermore, she has had a special interest in learning about the demands of dance and gymnastics and has treated a number of athletes in these sports.  She is also a first responder.  Lastly, she has been active in Crossfit for over 3 years and practices Olympic Lifting.

     Christine has had experience working in many physical therapy settings.  She has worked in acute care, outpatient, and home care.  Gaining experience in each of these areas has allowed Christine to have a complete “medical picture” of the care that a patient would receive during each of these phases.  Furthermore, she has acted as the director of an outpatient facility in Madison, NJ where she learned the “nuts & bolts” of running a physical therapy clinic. Although experience and a strong medical background are crucial to becoming an effective physical therapist, Christine feels it is equally important to spend one-on-one time with her patients to ensure all of their questions are answered to the best of her ability.

     Christine has completed two research studies entitled the “The Effects of Segmental Breathing on the Slow Vital Capacity and Function of an 85 Year Old Client With Severe Osteoporosis,” and “Does Pre-Operative Diagnosis Effect Post Operative Outcomes Following Total Shoulder Replacement?”

     Christine’s commitment to wellness and fitness began at an early age.  She grew up in the beautiful landscapes of New England which offered endless opportunities to spend time outdoors skiing, hiking, biking, and running.  During high school she began volunteering at an outpatient physical therapy clinic and became introduced to the exciting opportunities that a career in physical therapy could offer. Her natural interest in wellness combined with her volunteer experiences made a career in physical therapy an obvious choice.
