Christa Abels, MS, AT

"I became an athletic trainer because of the quick thinking required to be an AT and being able to make an impact in young athlete's lives. I have seen myself progress through physical therapy when I was younger, so it is enjoyable to watch patients achieve their goals though therapy as well."

Christa holds a bachelor's degree in athletic training from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL, and a master's degree in athletic training from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI.

She loves working with athletes of all ages and sports. Christa enjoys going reading books, cooking, and watching Chicago Blackhawks games.
