Applied Kinesiology Chiropractic
Kristina Matthews
Owner
With 15 years of experience in owning chiropractic offices and consulting docs nationwide, Kristina is excited to open her first office in Tennessee. She started as an office manager and has done every job in between. Chiropractic, specifically, muscle testing changed her life. For several years, she watched her son struggle with food and how it was affecting him so greatly. After finding an AK (applied kinesiologist), they were able to work through her son's allergies- his life has been forever changed! Kristina knows first hand what great chiropractic care can do and is passionate about bringing it to our beautiful people of Spring Hill.
She is the mom to two teenage boys that she has homeschooled for 3 years. You're likely to run into her at Hidden Seed Plant Co. or enjoying a Dragon Roll at Thai Sushi.
Dr. Armstrong, DC
Dr. Armstrong graduated from the Southern California University of Health Sciences, Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 2012. During school, he completed a 100-hour course on Applied Kinesiology (AK) and worked with a doctor who specialized in Active Release Technique (ART). He has used AK and myofascial release techniques on his patients to address dysfunction with nutrition, spinal subluxation, posture, and exercise. His own health journey has led him to strive to help people navigate a plethora of health information with an emphasis on holistic, drug-free, and faith-based choices.
He moved across the country over a year ago with his wife Laura and their two beautiful children. Ethan is 9, Aubri is 2 and Olive joined the family at the end of July! They couldn’t be happier to be here in Spring Hill. He's already a regular at The Fainting Goat and has enjoyed perusing Bleu32

Kara Gessler
Assist Auditor
Kara is originally from the Midwest and moved to Thompsons Station in 2017. She graduated from Carroll University with her Masters in Physical Therapy in 1998. Kara worked in both pediatrics and geriatrics, then “retired” to stay home with her children.
Kara has been married to Matt for 24 years and they have 3 children (Grace, Jack, and Beatrice). When she isn’t at Oasis, Kara enjoys walking, yoga, cooking, reading, homeschooling, and spending time with family and friends. You might find Kara enjoying a burger with her family at Jonathan’s or throwing axes with her husband at Faxon’s Hatchet House.
Kara came to Oasis as a patient (for skin issues) and healed much more quickly compared to her previous flare-ups. She was so happy with her care that she became an Oasis employee!
