Welcome to SCI Therapy Academy! My name is Cristina Segredo, and I am a bilingual Doctor of Physical Therapy, licensed in Florida and Georgia, who has been dedicated to changing lives and molding minds in the healthcare and wellness field for over 15 years as both a personal trainer and a physical therapist. I specialize in helping people who have sustained catastrophic injuries return back to living independent and fulfilling lives. I have clinical experience across the healthcare continuum in settings from acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation centers, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and home health. Currently my role is a research physical therapist working with neuromodulation technology, with the focus and goal of advancing the science and evidence-based practice utilized to maximize patient outcomes. As the daughter of an educator, I value education and paying it forward. I have played an integral part in mentoring doctoral students, residents, and fellow colleagues through my roles as a clinical mentor and didactic lecturer in residency programs, as well as in the development and teaching of continuing education courses. I recently combined my expertise as a physical therapist with my passion for fitness and wellness and wrote a book called Ageless Fitness, which serves as a health guide and resource aimed at maintaining fitness and maximizing quality of life in adulthood. I hope to bring part of the knowledge and resources I've developed along the way to a central platform where I can guide my peers in their journeys as lifelong learners.
