Physical Therapy with Dr. Cristina Zheng, DPT
Dr. Cristina earned her doctorate in physical therapy from the University of St. Augustine. Through her experience in the insurance-based typical physical therapy settings, she recognized that she was limited in how she can better serve her patients. This is when Dr. Cristina founded FiTsiotherapy in order to treat her patients the way she would like to be treated – with personalized and attentive care, more time with her patients, all without the red tape that insurance places in typical physical therapy practices.
She believes in treating the patient as a WHOLE person and understands the importance of the activities and sports they would like to return to. With Dr. Cristina, you will not find the cookie-cutter physical therapy treatments that you would find in typical physical therapy practices. Her treatment approach combines evidence-based methods and sport specific clinical expertise to best address her patients’ needs and the demands of their sport.
Dr. Cristina specializes in treating the active population – athletes, weight-lifters, CrossFitters, weekend warriors, runners, recreational athletes, and fitness enthusiasts. Growing up as an athlete and as a long-time weight-lifter herself, she understands the importance of her patient’s active lifestyles and knows what it takes to help them return to performing optimally.
Her passion for wellness, strength & conditioning, and injury prevention has led her to pursue a career in bridging the gap between fitness, health, and rehab without the limitations from insurance companies.
