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.
More Reasons to Work with Foundations PT:
Our unique approach delivers exceptional results.
We specialize in whole body movements based on your walking pattern. This allows you to reinforce the benefits of your exercise program by simply walking around throughout your day....expect walking to feel more effortless.
Gain more confident & youthful posture as a positive side effect of this work, which pays attention to healthy alignment.
We specialize in a natural approach to foot pain that focuses on exercises instead of injections, orthotics or surgery.
Because we use a whole body approach, this method helps with pain anywhere in your body. With special attention paid to your feet & how you move from the ground up.
During PT appointments we work with one person at a time, so your appointment is all about YOU. If you'd like remote support at home or when traveling, we can add that to any session.
You get detailed video instructions for your assigned exercises.
We save you time & money because fewer appointments are needed. Instead of driving to & from multiple appointments with never ending co-pays, invest in one high quality session every few weeks. You won't regret it!
We can work with you 100% remotely if you do not live in the Buffalo area.
