“Christina really pays close attention to your injuries by completing thorough assessments and monitoring for pain symptoms. She is super easy going and builds an exercise plan which will allow for progressive strengthening, even for those with chronic pain, there is still hope for continuous improvement when under her care. She is flexible and communicates back and forth with her clients to tackle pain areas and to make sure schedules align. Would definitely recommend her to everyone that comes across her, you won't be disappointed!”
