Dawson, Christina A MD

Pediatric physical therapy allows me to work with children to access their world with greater confidence. I am passionate about working with children and their families in gaining skills to assist them in engaging and participating fully in life. I strive to create an environment for kids that focuses on respect, self-empowerment and fun. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a part of the journey. Outside of work, I enjoy adventuring outdoors with my family and working on my green thumb.

As a Physical Therapist, I enjoy helping patients return to their desired activities and building strong relationships with them while guiding their rehabilitation. My special interests include working with athletes following injury and general orthopedics. Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball and golf, going to the movies, and spending time with my family.

I was drawn to the field of physical therapy after undergoing physical therapy-guided treatment for my own shoulder and knee injuries. I enjoy partnering with clients and empowering them to take an active role in their recovery. I believe in educating clients and creating treatment plans personalized to each individual situation. Aside from physical therapy, I enjoy writing, reading, gaming and spending time with my wife and dog. My personal sports background includes participating in Jiu-jitsu, submission wrestling, Judo tournaments, as well as more casual distance running and obstacle course races.
