Christopher is the owner and founder of Foundry Physio, bringing more than a decade of advanced orthopedic and manual physical therapy experience to every patient he treats. He earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Northeastern University in 2014, then completed an orthopedic residency through Evidence in Motion and an Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship at Bellin College — training held by fewer than 1% of physical therapists nationwide.

Through his learning experiences, Chris has developed a profound appreciation for person-centered care, exercise-based interventions, lifestyle medicine, and clinical reasoning for all populations.
Christopher is currently pursuing a Doctor of Science in Physical Therapy (DSc) at Bellin College, with active research on manual therapy education and clinical practice. He’s a published researcher in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy. He is actively involved in professional organizations such as the DC chapter of the American Physical Therapy association, where he currently serves as President-Elect of APTA of DC.
