Hi, I'm Christina

I've been a physical therapist for 29 years & am passionate about helping you live an active & healthy life as you age.

5 years ago I discovered how effective a whole body approach is for pain relief, especially when we focus on the details of your walking pattern.

I now get better results faster with my clients whether they are in person or remote, because I look at the way your whole body moves. We focus on the areas that are the most restricted in your body, instead of simply spot treating the area that hurts.

The traditional health care system is not set up for success, but my services are designed to help you take control of your pain without needing so many appointments.

Even if you feel you've tried everything, expect to be pleasantly surprised at the results you get with Foundations PT.

I'm here to support you & equip you to take control of your pain & get you back to doing what you love.

  • We specialize in a natural approach to foot pain that focuses on exercises instead of injections, orthotics or surgery.
