Emergency Care
After 4 years of getting his medical training and experience at what is now known as the New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City, Chris later worked in homecare then in private practices as an orthopedic and sports PT. In the late â€˜90s, Chris worked at the famed Westside Dance Physical Therapy practice that had a retainer with the New York City Ballet to provide services for both the School of American Ballet and the professional company of dancers. There, Chris received specialized training and expertise in the sub-specialty of dance sports medicine and physical therapy. During his 4 years there, Chris was on call at the State Theater in the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts to provide maintenance and emergency care for dancers in performance. He supervised medical care for half the dance company that went on tour in Brazil in 1997. Looking for new adventure after returning home, Chris joined his brother in Arizona to explore opportunities in the beautiful Southwest.

Sports Medicine
The Fredericks are on retainer by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as their resident stretching and flexibility subject matter experts (or SMEs). After thoroughly researching SME candidates for this post, the Fredericks came out on top, meeting all stringent requirements in the vetting process. As one of the largest and most respected educators in the fitness industry, NASM is a major influencer to professionals in what is cutting edge and scientifically credible.
Physical Therapy
Despite showing early promise in dance by receiving scholarships and getting employment as a dancer, Chris had a career ending injury. Devastated by having his dream dashed, Chris explored many other career options before being accepted at the Hunter College program in physical therapy, graduating in 1989.
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
The science and ongoing research of our connective tissue system (commonly called the fascial system) has produced new models of anatomy and physiology that are shifting old paradigms not only in stretching but in many fields like physical medicine and manual therapy. Proving that a muscle cannot lengthen, strengthen, or functionally do anything in isolation is only one of many discoveries that have led to great advances in the effectiveness of fascial stretching and other therapies.
