Chris is a fantastic Physical Therapist!! I started working with Chris a few months ago for lower back pain. Chris has given me so many tools to manage and improve the pain. She also went above and beyond in helping me to loosen tight muscles that contributed to the pain.
Chris cares deeply about helping and her clients and I highly recommend her if you're looking for a PT!

Chris is amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! She really cares about her patients and takes the time to create great exercises specially catered to fit your needs. She's adjusted my movements several times and each time it's made a huge difference (the right muscles began activating). Furthermore, she is extremely knowledgeable and can explain why you might be experiencing certain pain and what you can do to mitigate it and eventually reduce it (if you are diligent about your at-home workouts). Speaking of at home exercises, I really appreciate how patient Chris is, she nudges me

Chris is an excellent physical therapist who is knowledgable, kind, and is able to craft a recovery plan suited to her patients' needs. The space at NOW Physical Therapy is pleasant and has a great variety of recovery tools and devices available. Additionally, Chris & Lisa work effectively as a team to make scheduling and insurance run smoothly, and to provide a welcoming and fun environment for patients.

I have been seeing Chris at NOW for a few months about a back injury and she has been great at taking the time to really understand the nature of the injury and then tailoring a physical therapy program to treat it. Initially I could do very little so she just focused on stretching. massage and some light exercises to treat the injury. But now as the injury has started to heal, she is ramping up exercises and focusing on key muscle groups that have been affected by the injury. She is very knowledgeable about her field and has really helped me to recover and get better fast. I highly recommend her

I started seeing Chris for a neck and shoulder issue. She has been terrific for the following reasons:
She is a very good listener.
She translates the feedback that I provide into appropriate therapy.
She cares about all of the issues affecting me, not just a sore neck.
She is open and friendly.
Most of all, she has helped me feel better.

Chris is a great PT and my daughter has been seeing her for almost 7 years now. Chris is very kind and has so much patience with kids! My daughter completely trusts her and will do what she asks, which says a lot, as she doesn’t listen to some of her other therapists that she sees! When I bring my other kids with me to therapy, Chris loves to have them get involved, which they in turn enjoy. Chris makes PT fun and my daughters weekly appointment is the highlight of her week!

Chris is extremely patient and kind, and has tremendous knowledge to share to help recover from injury. The facilities are top notch - brand new (having opened a few months ago), with every kind of tool, machine, apparatus imaginable to help in recovery from injury. I highly recommend working with Chris for physical therapy!

I've been seeing Chris for years at Children's Hospital as a part of a yearly Hemophilia check-up. I recently had knee surgery, and Chris handled my PT herself here twice a week. The results have been astounding! By every metric, my recovery has been faster and more extensive than what my surgeon thought. Chris worked wonders!

Christine is most definitely a hands-on person for her clients. Not only does she know what activities to do in order to achieve positive results, she is patient, thorough, encouraging, diligent, resourceful, and of course knowledgeable. Every client is different as are their needs, and Christine establishes activities and exercises specific to achieve their desired results. I have already seen positive results and so have found it a true benefit in having am the NOW Physical Therapy nearby and accessible.
