Bridging the Gap Between Rehab and Performance
- From Diagnosis to Downward Dog
- From Hamstring Strains to Hanging Ten
- From Jumper’s Knee to Knocking Down Jumpers
- From Diagnosis to Deadlift
- From Plantar Fasciitis to Personal Records
Most healthcare providers are great at diagnosing the issue and getting you out of pain. But then what?
There’s currently a gap between feeling better and actually being ready to get back to the activities you love, lifting, running, hooping, surfing,and training. That gap is where most people stall… or re-injure themselves.
At Human Element PT and Performance, we Bridge That Gap.
We don’t just help you rehab an injury. We build you back stronger, more resilient, and fully capable of chasing performance at the highest level. From the treatment table to the training floor, we’ve got you covered every step of the way.
What Our Clients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 7 reviews Posted on Meagan FrancisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a package of sessions with Chris to address some persistent neck and shoulder pain that had been lingering for well over a year. I'd tried stretching, massage, chiro and all helped in the moment but only working with Chris brought lasting relief! He really listens and works to get at the cause of what's going on, and his approach is a great blend of hands-on treatment and lifestyle/exercise suggestions (I had been trying lifestyle adjustments and exercises at home, but it wasn't enough on its own - I really needed both.) During my last session with Chris he said it was like I had a "whole new neck" and it really feels that way - after just a few months of sessions! Two months later and I still feel great. Highly recommend!Posted on Mercedes SpleseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris was great with showing me how to do my at home exercises! He encouraged me throughout my journey as was always there for support even outside our appointment times! During our one on one appointments, he was great at listening and recieveing information. I felt very comfortable being open and honest about any struggles I may have been facing with my physicality. Within weeks I was feeling 60-70% free of all the pain I was experiencing from plantar fasciatis, chronic sciatica pain, hips and ankles. Now I have a tool box in my back pocket to use when and if those issues continue to pop-up for me. I still have a long way on my health journey but I know it will be much easier with the tools Chris was able to provide me!Posted on Kyle HernandezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Chris for 3+ months after learning about how amazing he was from my spouse who met him in a different setting. In his current venture - Human Element Physical Therapy and Performance - he has provided me with lifelong and life changing results for functional mobility and fitness. The past five years have been real hard and it has impacted my health but I also sustained multiple injuries that prevented me from one of my most cherished outlets: physical fitness. I love running, cycling, hiking, walking my dogs, and weight training. But i lost that. I did start on my PT journey at a different place earlier this year, which helped some but only in one very specific area. After Human Element started, I moved over there and immediately everything was different. This guy is more knowledgeable and passionate about this stuff than anyone I've encountered in the field. More importantly, he also understands "the human element" - setting realistic goals, sometimes life does get in the way, and sometimes you need a little nudge to push you forward; no judgements, no lectures. I have physical issues from my neck to my feet and they are all interleaved and all negatively impact my ability to physically function. That is impossible to get through in traditional PT settings, but this is how Human Element works. They use such a diverse array of techniques, they have even retrained me how to breath appropriately to protect my spine (something we all "know" to do but probably aren't doing it right). In my 4th month working with Chris, my progression is so significant that I have been able to drastically increase the intensity of running and weight lifting, without injury. I feel solid. I feel strong. I have learned so much about my body and this is also critical for long term success. I look forward to continuing my progress and meeting more of my goals. Human Element has shown me that I AM able to put in time to work on myself AND I see results. This has prompted me to expand my wellness to mental health and started that therapy as well... all because The Human Element Physical Therapy and Performance has been such a great experience and SO effective my full mental and physical wellness are positively impacted. Thank you Human Element!Posted on Theresa BurtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Chris for shoulder and neck pain and have made huge progress. His program offers in-person appointments along with an app with personalized workouts, video demonstrations, and check-ins to track progress and maintain accountability. If questions arise, he can be contacted through the app and is very responsive. He is kind and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for physical therapy that truly gives results.Posted on Kyle AmbrosoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've seen PTs and chiropractors a number of times in the past to address some ongoing neck pain, but was never impressed with the process or results. With Chris, the in-person hands-on quality of care easily exceeds anything I've previously experienced. However, the remote support he's able to offer is where this setup really shines. Through the app, I receive customized exercises, videos, messages, etc., with regular chats and calls to ensure I remain on track. His expertise, the focused and dynamic care plan, and the ongoing accountability have already enabled me to progress beyond my expectations.Posted on Tim GodfreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve worked with Chris for about three years in different settings, and his newest venture—Human Element Physical Therapy and Performance—is exceptional. Chris is not only a highly skilled physical therapist, but he also truly understands the human side of PT and performance. His approach is supportive, personalized, and incredibly responsive. Through Human Element, I’ve loved the combination of in-person, hands-on work (second to none!) and the online/distance support. Chris programs my workouts in the app, checks in regularly, and quickly adapts plans when needed. His communication is constant and thoughtful. I honestly thought my time as an “adult athlete” was winding down, but Chris has shown me a future where I can be strong, active, and fulfilled again. I highly recommend Chris and Human Element to anyone looking for that personal touch in PT and performance with real, lasting results.Posted on D SiewertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In March, I broke my shoulder and began physical therapy with Chris. When he opened his own PT business I quickly followed him as the progress I was making was amazing. At his own place he is able to devote 100% attention on you, his software enables you to watch videos of every exercise you do and he sends you individual exercises to do daily. You really are able to have his services daily to further your healing. He individualizes what you do based on your personal goals. His positive and professional attitude is only topped by his knowledge. I highly recommend him for your physical therapy or sports therapy needs.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
