Chris Fosdick, DPT, CSCS
Clinic Director / Physical Therapist
Every patient has their own unique journey through the healthcare system. Our job as clinicians is to use our expertise to make that journey as comfortable and successful as possible. Meeting everyone where they are, asking where they want to go, and highlighting the path forward is my favorite part of being a physical therapist.
