Kris is a Lakewood Native, Kris enjoys being able to do what she loves in her home town. Her philosophy matches OST’s with treating the whole person, not just their diagnois. She enjoys working with our patients and the physical therapist to set up a plan and pathway of treatment to restore our patients mobility, flexibility and strength to return them to a healthy and functional lifestyle. If she had to choose, helping people restore function and mobility with post operative rehabilitation would be her favorite conditions to treat. Kris believes exercise is the best prescription for strength, flexibility and mobility. Some of the modalities Kris uses to treat her patients include, but are not limited to: manual therapy, myofascial release, soft tissue mobilization, trigger point release with accupressure, scar tissue release.

Kris started with OST in 2010. What she enjoys most about the environment is that it is positive, compassionate, confident, humble and cheerful. She has been practicing physical therapy since 2006, and she enjoys helping people return to functional and meaningful lives.

When asked why patients should come for physical therapy, Kris said: “We treat the whole person, get great outcomes and have the best manual therapy around. Give us a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!”

Outside of work, Kris enjoys spending time with her husband, Lee. Some of their favorite things to do together are kayaking, off-road Jeep rides, pool aerobics, snow shoeing and long walks.
