Testimonials:

“Christine, you don’t just repair muscles but mend my emotions and provide a healing balm to my heart” -Leslie G.


“Christine is an amazing physical therapist and helped me feel like me again, something other health pros were not able to do after a severe injury. Her combination of myofascial release therapy, physical therapy, exercises, etc. were critical in improving my strength, mobility and flexibility. I’m grateful to have worked with her and learned so much.” -Valerie C.

 “I’m an active 39 year old who has experienced sporadic lower back pain for most of my life. After suffering from my worst bout to date and seeing an orthopedist, I finally decided to see a physical therapist. My wife had been seeing Christine for a frozen shoulder and encouraged me to see her for my back. I was a little hesitant and skeptical in the beginning, but after my first appointment I was sold. Christine is a wonderful physical therapist. I was immediately at ease after meeting her and I could feel improvement in my lower back after the first visit. Not only did she therapeutically treat the ailment, but she did a complete diagnosis including determining cause and then set into motion a road to recovery providing out of office exercises and suggestions for a healthier lifestyle.

It’s been almost nine months since my first visit and I’ve not had another lower back flair up. I’ve even lost thirty pounds through exercise and diet due to her suggestions and encouragement. I keep saying to myself what Christine told me on the first day, “every pound lost is worth five pounds to your back”. I have two young sons and I can now go stride for stride with them without any need for a break or limitation from lower back pain. She has truly been a life changer! If you are in need of a physical therapist, there is no one better than Christine Roper.” – 

“Our son had always had low muscle tone in his legs and a unique running gait.  We had been to several specialists who had reassured us there was no medical issue however they were unable to help correct the issue.  Finally, our pediatrician recommended we see Christine. Christine was able to assess our son, work with him monthly and teach us key daily exercises and techniques.  Our son looked forward to going to PT and liked seeing Christine.  He went from a wobbly, hunched over, side to side gait to one that resembles a normal child.  His leg strength became normalized on both sides and he is able to participate like any other boy in team sports.  Christine was able to help when we had gone through literally years of other specialists who could not.” – Bill, Sales Representative, Cardiac Rhythm Management Division, NASPExAM Pacing/ICD
