In 2017, Cristina came back to Austin and was grateful to be immediately welcomed back by her dance family. Since returning she has performed again in Austin's Frontera Fest, Austin Dance Fest, Seam, the ACC Faculty and Guest Show, and Dance Carousel. Her other interests include trail running, stand-up paddle boarding, hiking and doing yoga from time to time.

 

As a PT and a lifelong dancer, Cristina is able to understand the lifestyle and demands that dancers face, and the difficulty associated with pain and injury. As dancers we feel injury in our physical body but also feel it as a threat to our ability to move with passion. This practice is based on the belief that we do not have to stop dancing, ever. Cristina is not in the business of telling you to "just stop doing that" as is often the case with doctors and PTs that just don't get it. She is committed to helping you continue to dance pain free at peak performance. She aims to give you the peace of mind that comes from really understanding what is going on in your body when you have pain or injury, so you can stop wondering, worrying and wasting your time trying this, that, and the other that isn't even helping. She will create a treatment plan specifically for you, taking into consideration your dance class and rehearsal schedule, to help you keep dancing pain free and get you back to dancing full out ASAP!
