Krista Simon, Physical Therapist

Krista Simon has been improving the quality of life for the active athlete since 1996. As an experienced licensed physical therapist, she has treated a wide variety of neurological, orthopedic, geriatric and pediatric patients over the years. Her passion for running, as well as her love of fitness in general, has been the impetus for her focus on the niche of sports medicine rehab.

Krista specializes in the biomechanics of the lower extremities and human gait. This allows her to expertly assess each patient’s unique situation, dysfunction or abnormality, and appropriately determine their needs. By treating the cause, as well as the symptoms, Krista can more effectively and quickly get her patients back to the level of activity they strive for. Her background within a range of settings has strengthened her ability to evaluate and treat each patient as more than just a specific diagnosis, and she is dedicated to improving the overall physical health and mechanics of each and every patient.

Krista graduated from an accelerated Masters program at Boston University and is currently working towards a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She was an all-state varsity soccer player in high school and is an avid marathon runner. Krista has participated in the New York, Boston, and Chicago marathons, is a past participant of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training Program, and is a member of the New York Road Runners. These experiences have provided her with a better perspective on how to treat both the competitive and recreational athlete.
