Christina received her Master of Physical Therapy Degree from University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.  She also received her undergraduate degree from UOP, where she played Division 1 basketball.  She was exposed to physical therapy after undergoing knee surgery and immediately knew it was a profession she would love.  Since receiving her degree in 1998, she has worked exclusively in outpatient orthopedic physical therapy. Her philosophy is centered on the belief that by correcting faulty movement mechanics you can not only speed healing but prevent injury.  She also prides herself on keeping up to date with current advancements in treatment by attending continuing education courses throughout the year.  She believes in hands on care and spending quality time with her patients.

Christina currently resides in Huntington Beach with her husband Ray, and her daughters Taylor and Keira.  She enjoys many outdoor activities including running, surfing, swimming and camping.
