Bodywork Wise

Keeping bodyworkers' bodies working

About Dr. Christine Richards, PT, OCS, CMPT

I have always been passionate about bodywork and consider it a great privilege to be a hands-on healer! As a sufferer of chronic pain myself, perfecting my body mechanics has been the key to my nearly 20-year career, and the reason I know I can keep going for another 20+ years! I find great joy and fulfillment in teaching and mentoring other bodyworkers, including massage therapists, physical therapists, students, and others. Let me help you work wiser and extend your career!
