Chris Cranston is a licensed physical therapist (MPT) and certified canine rehabilitation practitioner (CCRP) whose lifelong love for animals has driven her to apply her skills and knowledge to animal rehabilitation in the Boston area. Prior to opening FlowDog, she founded Cranston Pet Rehabilitation, an in-home physical therapy practice that serviced pets in the comfort of their own home. In addition to running Cranston Pet Rehabilitation, Chris was the Operations Director of the physical therapy service at Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital and prior to this worked for Sterling Impression Animal Rehabiliation Center of New England.  

In 2004 Chris earned her Certification as a Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner from the University of Tennessee. She was one of the first 100 in the United States to earn the distinction.  She also has a Masters of Physical Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Iowa.  

   

Chris has 13 years of experience in human physical therapy including hospital-based rehabilitation, outpatient orthopedics, and sports medicine. Prior to moving to the Boston area, she was manager of the Sports Medicine Department at Wardenburg Health Center at the University of Colorado - Boulder. Chris also enjoys teaching and was a member of the clinical faculty in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.   

  

Chris, an animal lover her whole life, had many "pets" growing up in rural Iowa. These ranged from turtles, ducks, salamanders, and hermit crabs to the more traditional dogs, cats, and rabbits. She understands the owner-pet bond and does everything in her power to foster that relationship in her practice.
