The Level4 Physio, Wellness & Performance Team Members are leading experts in Physical Therapy, Women’s Health and Overall Wellness, with a primary focus on active, healthy lifestyles and maximizing performance.

During the 2018 Pan American Beach Handball Championships, a four-day tournament in Oceanside, CA, Dr. Chris and Dr. Nick served as our official medical care providers, and treated athletes for all over the Americas including members of our own men’s and women’s teams. Dr. Chris also served the Athletic Trainer for the Women’s Team and was critical in helping our veteran defensive specialist and team captain Marilyn Elder come back from a game-time neck injury. Says Marilyn, “If it had not been for Dr. Chris and Level4PT, my Pan Am journey may have ended with me cheering from the sideline. His gentle, calming words helped me get through the initial shock, and his expert neck and shoulder treatment helped me come back faster than I expected.” Dr. Chris is known as a leading spinal / shoulder and sports performance enhancement specialist in the San Diego area, with special areas of interest in rehabilitation of overhead throwing athletes and sport-related spinal, ankle and knee injuries and prevention.
