ABOUT THE CLINIC DIRECTOR

Christina

IMG_00185_edited_edited_edited_edited.jp

Before beginning her role of Clinic Director of The Training Station PT, Inc., Christina lived all over the U.S. and followed a few different career paths. After graduating from Western Washington University in 1998 with a Bachelor's Degree of Arts in Education with a concentration in Early Childhood Education, Christina married her high school sweetheart, Ian. After Ian joined the Air Force that summer, they moved to Bethesda, Maryland where Ian attended medical school at the Uniformed Services University. During Ian's time in Medical School, Christina obtained her Maryland state teaching credentials and worked as an elementary school teacher for over 7 years in Maryland and then in California while Ian continued his training as a Cardiologist in the Air Force at David Grant Medical Center. Another move took them to San Antonio, Texas, where Christina attended the University of Texas, San Antonio and earned her Master's Degree in Education with a concentration in Health Promotion and Kinesiology. After the birth of their daughter, Teagan in 2007, and then the birth of their son Braden in 2008, Christina took some time off from her professional career and was a stay-at-home mom for almost 12 years, volunteering in various capacities and working as a substitute teacher when time allowed. When Ian's Air Force commitment was complete in 2015, the Riddock family decided to relocate to Bend, Oregon. In 2018, Christina went back to work as a Care Services Coordinator for ALS Northwest and supported people living with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) in Central and Eastern Oregon. After working for ALS Northwest for over 6 years, Christina knew it was time for a change. When her good friend, Lisa, approached Christina with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve as Clinic Director of The Training Station PT, Inc., she knew it was meant to be. Christina enjoys coming to work every day to ensure that The Training Station PT runs smoothly and efficiently so that Lisa can deliver the most comprehensive rehabilitation services to her patients.
