Meet the founder
Dr. Christian Rodgers, PT, DPT
I know how frustrating it feels to be sidelined. Injuries as a young athlete first drew me to rehabilitation; later, losing more than 40 pounds through training, nutrition, and consistent habits changed how I thought about lasting progress.
I founded CHROME to bring those experiences together with my work as a physical therapist and certified personal trainer. I want active people to have a place where recovery is connected to strength, performance, and the life they want to keep building.

Before you book
Good questions, clear answers.
Do I need to stop training while I work through pain?
That depends on your symptoms, goals, and what you can tolerate. The evaluation is designed to identify useful adjustments and a starting point; it is not a promise that every activity will be appropriate right away.
What happens after the first visit?
We review what we found and discuss next steps. That might include training changes, exercises, follow-up PT, or a referral when another type of care is appropriate.
Can I work with CHROME if I am not in Scottsdale?
Virtual evaluations and performance coaching are available. The right option depends on your location and needs; the booking page shows current availability.
Is the back pain guide available to purchase?
It is still in development. The $49.99 guide will only be offered for purchase here once its clinical review, checkout, and delivery are ready.
