CHRISTINE THRIFT, PT

With wide-ranging experience in a variety of therapy settings, Christine specializes in outpatient and acute care physical therapy, with extensive training in vestibular and manual therapy as well. Her care at Ortho Rhode Island includes seeing prehabilitation patients as part of the Total Joint Team, and acting as Physical Therapist in the post-anesthesia care unit at the Ortho RI Surgery Center.

Christine has a passion for the medical complexities of acute care, and believes in addressing the patient as a “whole” person when practicing physical therapy. She listens fully to what patients are experiencing to better help them work toward their goals, and is motivated by the belief that all people want to be heard and want to be treated with kindness and acceptance. Patience and a positive attitude guide her work as a physical therapist.

Outside of her work with patients, Christine is a 200-hour yoga teacher, and enjoy practicing yoga, meditating, hiking, and reading.
