Chris Christensen, DPT, DNSET, CSCS, Co-owner

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.
