Chris combines his background in athletics with a deep understanding of human movement, biomechanics, and the psychology of motivation to help clients overcome barriers and achieve lasting change. His approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and a commitment to meeting each client where they are—whether they’re elite swimmers, recreational athletes, or individuals recovering from injury.

He holds both a Bachelor’s degree and a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from UNC Chapel Hill, where he developed a strong foundation in clinical reasoning, movement science, and rehabilitative care. His training includes internships at nationally recognized institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, as well as experience in UNC’s home health and the VA’s acute care settings. In Southern Pines, NC, Chris works in a clinical setting focused on chronic pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, and the performance demands of ex-military personnel. These experiences sharpened his ability to manage complex cases and guide clients through both high-performance training and long-term recovery.

Chris’s programming reflects a thoughtful blend of clinical expertise and real-world experience. Having navigated physical setbacks of his own, he brings a deep empathy and insight into the recovery process. This perspective allows him to design adaptable, intelligent programs that support healing, build resilience, and restore confidence—whether the goal is returning to sport, staying pain-free, or simply moving better through daily life.
