James Vegher, DPT, DNSCP and Chris Christensen, DPT, CSCS, DNSET, Precision's co-owners, partnered to open Precision Physical Therapy & Fitness after years treating in physical therapy environments where they struggled to reconcile less traditional methods that improved speed of recovery and rendered long term results with the physical therapy techniques they learned as new graduates. Their goal is to create a teaching and learning environment based on natural human movement where neither therapists nor patients are stifled by preconceptions about physical therapy. James and Chris believe every patient should leave therapy having met their goals, with a better understanding of their body and tools to stay pain-free for life.
