Christine received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Stony Brook University in 2010 and her Dual Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Dance from Hunter College in 2006.

She is an orthopedic, manual, physical therapist with a concentration in Dance Medicine and Women’s Health. During her last 5 years of practice she has had opportunities to excel in her concentration of Dance Medicine, yet her practice has expanded, giving her opportunities to work with a very large range of cases. Her case-load includes those with Parkinson’s, orthopedic and surgical traumatic/acute injuries, chronic long-standing injuries and pain, dance specific injuries, maintenance and wellness concerns.

As a manual, orthopedic physical therapist, most of the treatment is one on one, hands-on, yet very interactive. There will be concentration on motor/muscle recruitment and control. Yoga poses and philosophies are often used to bridge the gap between mind and body in preparation for returning to your optimal performance. By blending numerous techniques, Christine has created an entirely specific, individualized system to diagnose and treat your unique self.
