Bio

Dr. Carrie Cameron has always been fascinated with mixing the world of art with science, which is reflected in her professional skills and demonstrated in the positive outcomes of her patients.  The foundation of her clinical approach is the belief that the body is beautifully made and masterfully crafted to do amazing things. As a result of her passion for sports and dance medicine, she has a history of successfully guiding athletes and dancers through an injury and back to personal peak performance.  She utilizes treatment techniques across a multidisciplinary spectrum tailored to treat the person as a whole.  These techniques include manual therapy, exercise prescription and biomechanics that not only help her patients reach their healthy living goals, but contribute to a foundation of sustainable performance.

Her career has taken her to both coasts and across the country working with athletes, dancers and performers at all levels.  After returning home to the Reno/Tahoe area, Dr. Cameron founded Sports & Performance Physical Therapy to bring dance and sports medicine to the area’s vast community of performers and athletes.

In her spare time, Carrie enjoys the outdoors with her wonderful husband, Marshall and their son, William. She appreciates her daily run for both its physical and mental joys and fits in a 5K or half marathon when she can.

Geneva Winters found her love of movement through growing up dancing both modern and ballet methods.  It was that passion for movement and the body that led her to pursue a career in Physical Therapy.  She attended Goucher College and received her Bachelor of Arts in Dance Science in 2015.  She then went on to complete her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2018.   Geneva was eager to continue her focused studies of orthopedics and dance medicine and sought out opportunities to grow her knowledge.  She completed research in the study of cardiovascular endurance of college dancers, which she later went on to present at the Performing Arts Medical Association (PAMA) conference in 2017. She also completed the Essentials of Performing Arts Medicine course through PAMA and received her certificate.
