At 87 years old, an avid gardener’s world was turned upside down after a fall in the yard led to a fractured hip and major surgery. Following a long hospital and rehab stay, she turned to Christina and the team at Active Life for help rebuilding her strength.
Over the months of physical therapy, Christina provided constant encouragement, motivation, and hands-on care from exercises to strengthen weakened muscles to techniques that eased pain. With dedication and hard work, she has regained her independence, returned to gardening, and no longer needs a cane to get around.
She proudly says she feels “almost back to new” and plans to continue Christina’s program at her local gym to stay active!
Be Strong, Move Well, Live Fully

❓Why did you choose to become a PT❓
✅ Kenny: I chose to be a PT to guide others on their journey to recovery. I find being an advocate for my patients and helping them unlock their full potential incredibly rewarding. It’s fulfilling to see people overcome challenges and achieve things they once thought were out of reach.

❓ Why is living an active life important to you ❓

Beyond that, it ensures I can continue to enjoy the things I love, whether it’s hiking, running, basketball, or traveling.

💪 PATIENT SUCCESS STORY!!!
After undergoing dual cervical disc replacement surgery, one of our patients came to Active Life with almost no motion left in their neck.
With the steady guidance of Lauren and Christina at our Jacksonville location, progress came step by step, rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence. A breakthrough moment came when dry needling was introduced, dramatically reducing scar tightness and improving neck movement.
After 5 months of dedication, this patient regained significant mobility and is thrilled with their results. We are so proud of your hard work and dedication Laura! 🙌
