Claire Kristl, PT, MPA, GCS
Claire has been practicing physical therapy in Monterey County since 1986. She graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1982, obtained her masters degree in public administration with an emphasis in healthcare in 2000 from Golden Gate University and became a Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist in 2009. She is LSVT Big certified (a Parkinson’s disease protocol). She is a master clinician who treats the whole body by carefully obtaining one’s personal history, assessing biomechanics that are impeding function and crafting a personal rehabilitation program for each client. Her objective is to return clients to their maximal functional level while meeting their personal goals whether it is competing in a triathlon, recovering from surgery or remaining independent at home. Claire is a life long athlete, wife, mother of 3 boys and is always up for an adventure.
Janelle Lemons, PT, DPT
Coming to the peninsula in 2016 on a travel assignment, Janelle fell in love with the area and the people. She has been treating and training patients since she earned her doctorate of physical therapy in 2012, developing her expertise working with amateur and professional athletes, from San Diego to New York City. She is TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certified, and finds assisting people to get back on the golf course as enjoyable as helping patients stand from a chair or climb steps into their home. She spans her expertise into a variety of settings including endurance challenges, hospitals, and the high school training room. Janelle enjoys swimming, surfing, running, biking and relaxing with family & friends.
