Chrissy spent the first five years of her career working at a large hospital system in St. Louis, rotating through acute care, inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient services.

She was fortunate to spend time working at the renowned Milliken Hand Center in St. Louis, with many great clinicians and surgeons.

Upon moving to Arizona in 2005, Chrissy spent time working as a hand therapist and then transitioned to a role as the onsite physical therapist for a large company in the valley. For the past nine years, she has been working part-time doing both hand therapy and general PT. Her favorite part of her career is getting to meet so many wonderful clients, from all walks of life, and it has been her pleasure to educate and encourage so many clients over the years.
