Christine graduated from Chapman University in 2008 with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She was introduced to Counterstrain during her first year as a physical therapist. After a few years of being an orthopedic physical therapist, her interest branched out to pelvic health physical therapy. During this time, she encountered her first Fascial Counterstrain treatment and was amazed with how much the body could respond to gentle yet effective techniques. She decided this would be the next step in her physical therapy career and has dedicated her time and focus towards the mastery of Fascial Counterstrain.
