CAROL RISTAU, P.T., RCST®

Carol graduated from UC Fresno in 1974 with a degree in Physical Therapy (P.T.). Her work experience is varied and includes Maricopa Medical Center, acute care and rehabilitation hospitals, a gym setting, private clinics and pain management practices. Carol also served as Western Regional Manager and Liaison for the Chronic Pain Program in a managed-care setting and a specialized Senior Physical Therapist in a Team Managed Center community.   In 1982 she began taking courses in craniosacral and myofascial techniques to broaden her scope of knowledge. She found that by consistently applying these techniques, her patients progressed to a higher functional level than with traditional therapies. In 1997 she partnered with Sari Lewis to launch Resolution Therapies.  During the next 7 years, Resolution Therapies became a premier facility in the valley for hands on techniques.  In July of 2003 Carol relocated to McDonald Drive to fulfill her dream of developing a facility where practitioners are comfortable working side by side focusing people towards their optimum health goal. 

In June, 2003, Carol completed a 700 hour program in biodynamic craniosacral therapy.   The letters RCST® behind her name stands for Registered Craniosacral Therapist. 

Carol is married to Ron and has two daughters, Andrea and Bethany. The Ristau’s have been active in foster care and the AFS foreign-exchange program.
