Cayman Islands Physiotherapist

Christine Gibbs graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology from California State University, Fresno. She continued her education at CSUF and graduated Magna Cum Laude with great distinction, earning a Master of Physical Therapy degree in 2001.  Throughout her career, she has worked in a variety of settings and has treated all body parts from head to toe.
