Hi, I'm Amber Christopher, PT, DPT. I have been a physical therapist since 1999! I began my physical therapy career working for a large pediatric hospital system in Dallas, TX and gained invaluable experience in the acute care and outpatient settings.

I "retired" from PT for a few years to work in vocational youth ministry and when I returned to the physical therapy profession, I practiced in the home health setting. I grew to love seeing aging adults in their home as I felt like I could truly understand and help them achieve their functional goals. I continued to work for home health companies and felt the work was rewarding, but I always felt like I had more to offer to my clients. I grew frustrated when my patients' insurance benefits ran out, leading to long therapy hold periods or to the loss of therapy completely until the next calendar year, even though the patients still needed these services.

​

I quickly realized that the current model of physical therapy is not providing patients with the comprehensive care that they need and deserve. By using a mobile concierge physical therapy model, I could provide one-on-one, personalized care for a full hour at a time. I could dedicate more time to my patients and see them through their entire course of care in order to ensure their individualized goals were met. I could help fill in the gaps where our healthcare system fails. When I saw the results my patients were having, I was captivated and that’s when I developed Arise Physical Therapy and Wellness concierge services.​
