Dr. Chris Munoz

I've been in the health and fitness industry since 2017. After attaining my Bachelors in Health and Exercise Science, I became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and completed a strength and conditioning internship at Ski and Snowboard Club Vail. During that internship, I fell in love with working with return-to-sport athletes and wanted to bridge the gap between strength and conditioning and physical therapy, which led me to enroll in the physical therapy program at Regis University. Upon graduation, I worked as a sports PT treating patients ranging from pediatric to professional athletes before joining the team at The Fitness Lab.

I strongly emphasize that education and proactivity are key components to establishing an effective treatment plan. I believe each patient's plan should be individualized, based on the best available evidence, and patient goal directed. My advanced training post-graduation has included Titleist Professional Institute Medical 2, dry needling level 1, Selective Functional Movement Assessment, Isometric Strength Training, and Sports Performance. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, I tend to take a more active approach to help patients get back to the activities they love.

Load The Tissue

Tissues respond to the load you apply to them. Strengthening is the way.
