Meet Dr. Fish

P.E.A.K. Physical Therapy and Performance Training was founded by Kristan L Fish, Doctor of Physical Therapy. She is the owner, physical therapist, and director. Dr. Fish realizes that clients' needs in the outpatient and home environments are often not being met and they are receiving generic treatments that are often dictated by insurance companies' increased regulations.

Dr. Fish graduated Cum Laude from the University of Maryland Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science in 2008.

Her previous work experience includes Neuroscience Team Coordinator at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. In this role, Dr. Fish evaluated and treated adult and pediatric patients with a variety of neurological, cardiac, oncology, medical, surgical and orthopedic conditions in the acute care environment. She assisted in the development of a Neurology Physical Therapy Residency program between The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Delaware. She educated staff on the JFK Coma Recovery Scale, implemented a new protocol to track progress of coma and traumatic brain injury patients, and created a score sheet form to ease therapist use. She served as the Stroke Team therapy liaison that included coordinating stroke education hours and attending monthly stroke working group meetings with physicians, nurses, and other relevant personnel. She organized and participated in JCAHO stroke screenings with the multidisciplinary Stroke Team. She hosted more than 10 student observers from several physical therapy schools.

Currently Dr. Fish serves as an Academic Advisor for a Transitional DPT program where she advises physical therapists with Bachelors and Masters degrees in completing their case study Capstone Projects in order to fulfill the requirements of obtaining a t-DPT degree.

She advised the author of an article that was published in the Winter 2017 edition of the Home Health Section of the APTA's Quarterly Report titled "Patient and Caregiver Training for an 84-Year Old Man with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) Following a Tibial/Fibular Fracture: A Case Report.”

Her most recent achievement is she produced and starred in the Smart Start training series DVD bundle and digital streaming workouts for Cubii.

Dr. Fish lives in Dayton, MD with her husband, two sons, and Golden Retriever. In her spare time she enjoys exercising, cooking, fishing, traveling, and watching her boys play sports.
