Testimonial: “Before meeting Kerri, I'd heard of her reputation for unusual skill and expertise through the triathlon community. Since becoming a patient of hers, I've been even more impressed. Kerri's vast knowledge and intelligence helped me expose a particularly elusive injury (eventually confirmed by MRI but not diagnosed by doctors until then). As my physical therapist of choice, Kerri has aided me in racing professionally through injury (sometimes circumstances call for that) and, subsequently, in rehabbing two surgeries. I can say with certainty that had I seen Kerri in the early stages of pain and muscular dysfunction, I would have avoided the severity of my injuries. However, what I've learned from Kerri will help me tremendously as I continue to train, race, and stay healthy in the future.” - Margie Shapiro
