PATIENT EXPERIENCES



Trusted care, in patients’ own words.

5.0-star rating on Google

Chris was friendly, respectful, and super easy to work with! He listened carefully and did a comprehensive exam to identify all potential deficits and gave me a good plan to follow. Would recommend, he caught on quick to the functions of my weird sport (roller derby).”

Chris is very competent and sets up exercise programs that are easy to follow. He’s super knowledgeable and is ADHD friendly! I started going to him for some gnarly tendonitis in my arms and he had me functioning in a very short period of time. I am recommending him to everyone!”

My Experience with Chris has been terrific so far, I have been struggling with back pain for several months and have tried chiro, massage and cortisone shots with no real reduction in pain.
In just 2 sessions Chris has come up with a great treatment plan that I 'm already feeling a reduction in pain. He is very easy to talk to and is a great one on one therapist.”
