Meet Christen

Christen Key received her Bachelors of Science degree in Health and Exercise Science from Syracuse University. While at Syracuse, she was a full-scholarship D1 athlete that competed in the 100m and 200m dash for the Track and Field team. Following her undergraduate studies, she went on to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Miami.

In 2014 she embarked upon the amazing opportunity to volunteer with the US Olympic Team, in Colorado Springs, CO. During her time at the Olympic Training Center, she provided sideline care for the men’s gymnastics team and administered first aid care during the 2014 IBSA World Judo Championship for the visually impaired. She then relocated to New York where she took her skills to Broadway, treating performers before they hit the big stage.

As a Board-Certified Clinical Sports Specialist, she has worked on shows such as Matilda, Kinky Boots, Cirque Du Soleil, Paramour, On Your Feet, and The Color Purple. Christen has been able to uniquely combine her knowledge as a physical therapist with that of an athlete to devise treatment protocols that are distinctive and functional in nature.

Currently, Christen lives in Noe Valley, San Francisco with her husband and two young children. In her spare time, she enjoys yoga, going on bike rides with her family and non-profit board service.
