Professional Philosophy
The intent of her work is to facilitate the
highest level of physical function and motor competence
contributing to the greatest possible quality of life for
an individual with special needs. The focus of her treatment
involves creating a trusting relationship where the client
feels free to experience new and challenging sensori-motor
activities in a safe environment. Christine has an eclectic
treatment approach that combines the principles of NDT,
manual therapies, postural alignment, biofeedback and a
variety of alternative and traditional methods. |

Client
Base
Christine Egan's clients vary in age from a
few weeks of age to early twenties. She works with a few adults,
most of who have CP. She treats a wide spectrum of disabilities
from very mild impairment to severe and multiple handicapping
conditions. In the mild group, consultation, short term treatment
and orthotic devices might be a standard course of therapy.
More involved clients may benefit from weekly therapy, positioning
and adaptive equipment, and home exercise or TES programs.
In all cases she is focused on maximizing the client's potential
for functional movement.
Christine's practice includes three additional pediatric physical therapists. Meet them here. |
