About Me:
My name is Cristina Jesurun and I’m a doctor of Physical Therapy in Austin, Texas. I’m the founder and owner of Dancer’s Choice Physical Therapy. My journey into physical therapy began when I realized I make sense of most things in the physical (and non-physical) world via my understanding of movement and the human body. I love incorporating all the facets of my education in my PT practice-prior to becoming a PT I studied to become a licensed a massage therapist and a certified Pilates instructor. I’m also a life long dancer, runner (road & trail), and lover of yoga. I love working to understand how each individual’s body works in their own unique way and devising personalized rehab plans for each individual.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with dancers of all levels, from beginners to professionals, helping them overcome injuries and enhance their performance. I’ve experienced firsthand the physical demands and challenges that come with being a dance athlete and performer. And I too have avoided going to the doctor for fear of finding out what’s really happened or that I’ll be told to stop dancing. But crowdsourcing for the answer, crossing our fingers, and just dancing through the pain is not sustainable. I strive to encourage change in that old dance model and to support my fellow dancers in maintaining their health and achieving their goals.
Why I Became a Physical Therapist for Dancers:
My mission is to bridge the gap between dance and medicine, providing dancers with the specialized care they need to thrive. I understand the unique physical and emotional demands of dance, and I am committed to offering personalized treatment plans that address each dancer's specific needs. This includes taking into consideration the dancer’s current class, rehearsal and performance schedule, as well as providing guidance and education that dancers can continue to apply throughout their dance career.
