    Kristine played sports year-round growing up, leading to her love of lifting. Her personal experience with back pain as a high school basketball player led to discouraging doctor visits where she was advised to "just rest" or "quit playing.” Years later, as a personal trainer and eventually a physical therapist, she is passionate about helping athletes achieve their goals, no matter their injury, age, or sport. Her philosophy includes building strong, confident, and empowered patients.

    She spends most of her time treating in the Rock Hill location, with limited hours 2 mornings a week at Studio 1-ON-1 Fitness Training in South End.
