Karen Rein is originally from Canada and attended the University of Virginia on a tennis scholarship, where she received her Bachelor of Science.

She treats all types of musculoskeletal injuries and has a strong interest in shoulder rehab after spending 13 years at a shoulder specialty clinic in Scottsdale.
