WHO is Eagle Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy?
Michael Bleffert, PT - Charise Cook, MEd - Christi Lundberg, PT
Michael Bleffert, Charise Cook, Christi Lundberg	Christi Lundberg, PT and Michael Bleffert, PT opened EOSPT in July of 2000. They wanted to open a more specialized physical therapy clinic to emphasize their unique training and experience. Christi and Michael specialize in "Orthopedic Manual Therapy." This is a method of treatment that emphasizes a true "hands-on" approach which focuses on evaluation and assessment as much as treatment. This gives them the ability to assess the cause of the injury, and then apply the most appropriate and effective treatment. But where were they before they came to Idaho? They moved here from the San Francisco area, where they had been working for 3 years at a large outpatient clinic. They spent many vacations in this area and eventually moved to Idaho in July of 1998 to be closer to their parents who had relocated to Idaho Falls and Jackson, WY. Originally, Michael was born in Staten Island, New York and raised in New Jersey. Christi was born and raised in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Funny they should eventually have parents that live within 100 miles of each other. Christi and Michael first met at the University of California at Davis while on the mens' and women's crew (rowing) team. They both earned degrees in Exercise Physiology at UC Davis before heading off to graduate school on different sides of the USA. Christi attended Duke University in North Carolina for her Master's degree in Physical Therapy (PT). She enjoyed a well-rounded PT education along with season tickets to the Duke Men's Basketball games (Go Duke!). Michael earned his Master's degree in PT from Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles, CA. He was one of 10 men admitted to the first graduate program at the all-women undergraduate college (Go women warriors?). In 1995 they moved to Sacramento, CA to attend a year-long course in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT). The clinic and its instructors were dedicated to the practice of OMT, specializing in the treatment of the spine, as well as all other joints. They absorbed as much as they could and are better physical therapists for that year of hard study and training. Christi and Michael are grateful for the opportunities they've had to advance their Physical Therapy training. They look forward to continuing to share their expertise and skills with everyone in Teton Valley! Charise Cook joined EOSPT in January of 2002 working primarily as our "Accounts Manager" handling all billing and insurance claims. Charise lived in Jackson, WY, working as a physical therapy aide, prior to moving to Teton Valley with her husband. She has her Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology from Bowling Green State University and has been assisting many of our clients with their exercise programs. She also has started a diabetic counseling and exercise program for our diabetic clients.
