Britney Cariño graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology at Gonzaga University in 2016 then went on to pursue her Master of Arts and Doctorate of Occupational Science and Therapy at the University of Southern California in 2019.  Here, she systematically developed, tested, and optimized a physical activity smartphone application tailored for older adults. In tandem, she conducted and published research on the use of mobile health interventions to address sedentary behaviors in older adults. Britney began her career in post-acute care within the greater Sacramento area where she completed competency training in physical agent modalities; served as a Regional Director for the Occupational Therapy Association of California and founded an educational series for state practitioners to further their professional development.

Britney has a passion for working with individuals across the lifespan who present with a variety of neurological and physical needs that may encompass things like spasticity management, motor, and sensory re-training, return to driving, and pre-work conditioning. She enjoys working with patients and their support system to modify functional every-day tasks to achieve their goals and values patient intuition and input for a successful plan of care. During off-hours, Britney loves to teach fitness classes, play with her two dogs and binge watch National Geographic documentaries.
