Christina's mission is to be a resource for the Berkshire community to increase accessibility and education around what sports medicine is, why it’s important, and how holistic alternative modalities aren’t just for professional athletes. 

​With a bachelor's degree in Athletic Training from Salem State University, and a master's degree in Applied Exercise Science, concentration in Human Movement from Concordia University Chicago, Christina has continued her training with additional certifications as a Corrective Exercise Specialist; RockTape, RockPods, and RockBlades Certified FM1-Basic provider; Graston Technique Certified practitioner; Integrative Dry Needling Certified provider; and most recently becoming a certified Owen's Recovery Bloodflow Restriction provider.

​By opening The Recovery Room, Christina and her team offer elite sports medicine for every day athletes, preparing individuals for athletic endeavors or helping to recover from an injury that might be holding them back. The Recovery Room's treatments and unique perspective aim at addressing the root cause rather than just alleviating the symptoms.
