Chris initially became interested in Physical Therapy after undergoing multiple knee surgeries for sports injuries he suffered in high school and college. His own experiences have given him a great interest in the sports medicine and orthopaedic area, especially in rehabilitating the knee. He takes a biomechanical approach to treating people’s physical problems. He not only focuses on the direct problem, but problems in other areas of the body that could contribute to the initial complaint.
