"My experience was phenomenal. Everyone was so kind and supportive. I finally feel 100% again! Kat is amazing and hopefully I don’t need to go back anytime soon but would gladly do so!"

"When I needed a physical therapist , I asked for recommendations from friends. Christine’s name surfaced several times.Her work with me was amazing right from the start.I measure the competency of medical people by their ability to listen to the patient, assess the situation, come up with a plan and share that plan with the patient. Christine stands at the top of that list in meeting that criteria.Her wealth of knowledge in the field and tailoring what could apply to me was outstanding. She encourages me to practice exercises at home and provided Medridge videos so I could practice at home to do them correctly. Every session is personal for me because of Christine. How lucky for me to have such a professional and caring Physical Therapist."

"Christine is wonderful. She is very easy to work with and so very knowledgeable. She gave me a real understanding of how the area of my body worked and how all the muscles were connected. This helped me understand how the exercises I was doing would help me. I would highly recommend her. She is truly an outstanding physical therapist. My experience was great."

"Christine is awesome! "My experience with her has been incredibly positive. Her expertise, attentiveness, and personalized approach to my rehabilitation has made a significant difference in my recovery. I appreciate her commitment to helping me regain strength and mobility.""

"I've been to several physical therapy practices over the years for various reasons. While none of them were necessarily bad, there was always something I wish had been different: that they'd given me a little more difficult exercises, or perhaps been a little more empathetic and gone easier on a particularly difficult day, or that the office hours allowed more scheduling flexibility. When I injured my shoulder earlier this year, I spent a lot of time researching local practices. I wanted to be certain that not only could I make their office hours work with my crazy schedule, but that the therapists had plenty of knowledge and tools to utilize in helping me to rehabilitate what could be a potentially complex injury. I ultimately chose to book with Independence Physical Therapy, and it has been a great decision. I initially began my work with Jen. She was very nice and knowledgeable, but for whatever reason, I ended up being moved to work with Christine after a couple of appointments. We clicked immediately, and she has been exactly what I need in a physical therapist. She is not only an amazing wealth of knowledge, but knows how to apply that knowledge in the most effective and empathetic ways. If something we're doing isn't working, or I'm struggling with it; she finds a modification or an alternative. If I'm having a particularly rough day, she reminds me that PT doesn't need to be painful and horrible to be effective and we work on less strenuous activities and pain relief measures instead. When I wasn't making improvements that we'd expected and hoped to see and I voiced my concerns, she empathetically agreed instead of telling me a lie to try to make me feel better. Her acknowledgement of the situation helped me feel empowered to push for further testing to determine the exact cause of my pain (which ultimately required scheduling surgery). I have had the pleasure of working with other therapists on the team while Christine was unavailable, and they have all been wonderful as well. Everyone, front desk staff included, has been very helpful and kind. I am currently taking a bit of a sabbatical from PT, awaiting my upcoming surgery. While I am, of course, not looking forward to the recovery process; I feel a little more at ease knowing that Christine and the team at Independence will be there to help guide me through it."
