Meet your physical therapists

Dr. Chris McKenzie, PT

He was a sprinter as a Junior in high school, soaring over hurdles at the State track meet and gaining lots of D1 university interest. After a hamstring injury caused a set-back his Senior year, college interest shuttered, and Chris’ dream of a division 1 college scholarship was gone in the blink of an eye…from one. preventable. injury. A repeat injury in college ended his career and Olympic hopes for good. It wasn’t until Chris attended physical therapy school, that he learned he was the victim of poor therapy and sports rehabilitation.

Elizabeth (Betsy) Michel, PT

I’ve always been interested in how things work together in the bigger picture and knew I would find myself working somewhere within the healthcare field. As a biology major in college, I found my first job doing vaccine testing in a lab. While I enjoyed working towards the ultimate goal of helping people, I was unfulfilled working in such a repetitive and seemingly mundane role. I turned away from my job and towards marathon training as my way to satisfy and challenge myself during this time.

“ Working with Dr. Chris Mckenzie has been a thoroughly positive experience… usually, when you go to a doctor or health care professional they are just documenting what you are saying and not even looking at your eyes…. it is so humanizing to have a healthcare professional look at you and listen deeply to you. He is double board-certified as well which makes him stand out the crowded field of pain management. His goal is to give you exercises so you can be pain-free in a handful of visits over a couple of months instead of the usual patient for life model.” ~Jasmine
