Caverhill off to Germany
Caribou resident Stephanie Caverhill is heading to Germany Dec. 28 to serve as a massage therapist for the United States Nordic Ski Team during the two-week Tour de Ski.
Caverhill, who along with her husband Troy own Northern Physical Therapy in Presque Isle, had received a tip from a client that the U.S. Ski Team was looking for a massage therapist. She pursued it, first contacting coach Chris Grover and then going through a credentialing process, a background check and a review of letters of recommendation.
“I finally got the okay from the team physical therapist, Tara Fontenot, that I was cleared to join them,” Caverhill said. “I feel very honored to have been considered for this position and am looking forward to going.”
Caverhill will return Jan. 10, 2011.
