Whether you are experiencing a sports injury, back pain, post-surgical pain or are looking for something more from a customized wellness program, our expert staff will work with you to reach your goals. We don’t just help your problem or critique your form, we change the way you think and feel about movement.
Our staff works with you, one-on-one, to help ease your pain, wherever it is, to increase your strength and improve your mobility—always addressing the issue at its source.

Meet Our Therapists
James Vegher, DPT, DNSP, Co-owner
Dr. Vegher grew up in Los Angeles and attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After graduating in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Therapy, he returned home to work in Neurological Rehabilitation. He worked almost exclusively with patients suffering from the after-effects of stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.
Chris Christensen, DPT, DNSET, CSCS, Co-owner
Dr. Christensen spent much of his high school time in a physical therapy clinic working as an aide for family friends and rehabilitating from athletic injuries. Basketball and baseball allowed him to continue his education at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) where he finished with Bachelor of Science degree in biology.
What We Do
Find Power in Wellness
Dr. James Vegher, DPT, DNSCP and Dr. Chris Christensen, DPT, CSCS, DNSET founded Precision Physical Therapy & Fitness after spending years in traditional rehabilitation facilities. James and Chris struggled to reconcile methods they found to significantly improve the speed and longevity of recovery with traditional, short term physical therapy techniques. By evaluating each client's needs and unique body, Precision's co-owners were able to achieve a high rate of success. They partnered to create an education based environment for both therapists and clients to thrive. Once Precision was established as a uniquely effective rehabilitation staple in the Santa Cruz community, James and Chris went on to create fitness classes that help solidify the movement principles that keep Precision's clients moving well, without pain, for life.
