Meet Dr. Chris Garcia

Hi, I’m Dr. Chris Garcia, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of experience, including work in professional sports. I’m also the founder of Sports Performance Physical Therapy, where we’ve been helping people in San Diego stay healthy, active, and pain-free for over a decade.

Let me walk you through what happens during a Discovery Visit and why so many people start their recovery journey here.

Who Is the Discovery Visit For?

The Discovery Visit is perfect for you if:

• You want to finally understand why your pain exists and why it keeps coming back
• You’re looking for a simple, step-by-step plan to feel better
• You want expert guidance to help you choose the right treatment and provider

Sound like you? Here’s exactly what to expect.

What Happens During a Discovery Visit?

Your Discovery Visit includes five key steps designed to give you clarity and direction:

1. Get Clear on What’s Going Wrong

We’ll help identify the root cause of your pain—whether it’s in your shoulder, knee, back, or somewhere else. No more guessing.

2. Review Your Options

We’ll walk through your available treatment options, including movement, stretching, and manual therapy—without relying on rest, medications, or surgeries.

3. Set Realistic Recovery Expectations

You’ll understand how long your recovery will take—whether it’s a few weeks or a few months—so you can plan with confidence.

4. Create a Personalized Treatment Plan

We’ll outline a customized plan (e.g., twice a week for 6–8 weeks) and taper as you improve. Plus, you’ll know the cost of care up front—no surprises.

5. Get Simple At-Home Tips

You’ll leave with easy, actionable advice for posture and movement that you can start doing right away, even before formal treatment begins.

Leave With Confidence

By the end of the Discovery Visit, you’ll have a clear plan and the right provider in your corner. You’ll walk out knowing exactly what’s next—and that you’re finally on the right path to recovery.
