How did he get started in Physical Therapy? "I had my first taste of physical therapy as a patient when I was 14 years old. I accidentally fell while jumping over some trash cans late one night when I was out jogging. I hurt my shoulder and ended up having surgery to repair a torn labrum. I went to several weeks of physical therapy and was fascinated by all of it. That is when I decided to become a physical therapist."

 

Dr. Chris Knudsen has a treatment philosophy that centers on the patient. He enjoys helping people and listening to their stories. After more than 20 years of treating patients, he says his favorite part of his job is when he gets to see his patients smile. They smile when they see that there is hope for them and they have the potential to be pain-free.
