Kris, the owner of Monarch Physical Therapy, Inc., has been a physical therapist since 1998. She became a certified lymphedema therapist in 2000 and since then has started two hospital-based physical therapy oncology programs as well as two private practices.
Her passion for treating oncology survivors stems from her personal experience with losing her mother to breast cancer. She has developed a comprehensive treatment plan for caring for the oncology patient from preoperative education classes to returning to sports and recreational activities upon recovery.
Kris comes to YOU for treatment! All visits are approximately one hour and performed by Kris only.
Her recent interest in "Aging-in-Place" began when COVID restrictions in facilities limited her patient's contact with family and loved ones. There were many declines due to the isolation and lonliness they experienced. She has recently completed a certification in helping the elderly (and their families) find ways in keeping folks at home during their later years.
