Cristina Olteanu ,PT
Physical Therapist
My practice focuses on spinal stabilizaiton based on the philosophy that core strength and stability is the basis for the heatlh of the entire musculo-skeletal system. I treat a variety of musculo-skeletal injuries including work and sports related injuries as well as accident related injuries. I believe that each patient is a unique individual that needs specialized and individualized rehabilitation program. I also strongle beieve in actively including patiens in their recovering progress as we address not just one isolated problem but hteir overall health and goals.
In the eight years I have been with Chicago Physical Therapy and Rehab our staff has grown from one therapist to five trained professionals with many years of experience in the Physical Therapy field. As the director of our department I strongle believe in continuing education as a life long commitment to delivering the best healthcare available. I have continued to take doctorate level cours at Chicago Medical School and Natinal Univertisyt of Health Science as well as seminars in rehabilitation, kinisiotaping, craniosacral, and lymph drainage therapy. These course have allowed me to refine my evaluative and treatment skills.
It is a priviledge to share my knowledge and skills with my patients and to work with a dedicated and outmost professional staff at Chicago Physical Therapy and Rehab.
