| Chris Cothern, MSPT, CSCS Chris has a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and Microbiology with a minor in Psychology, a Masters Degree in physical therapy, and is currently a candidate for a Doctorate degree in physical therapy with sports physical and manual therapy emphasis. The final project for his Doctorate is on an ACL Segway program for post-surgical athletes. He is also a past Arkansas state director for the National Strength and Conditioning Association and a frequent health and fitness contributor in Vype magazine. He designed a senior fitness class for his local church and now oversees a Silver Sneakers fitness program. Chris has developed AthletiCorePlus Training, which is a program for the core muscles to assist in preventing and treating back injuries in active individuals and improving performance in athletes. Chris is the founder and owner of AthletePlus Sports Performance and Physical Therapy, located in Springdale, AR. College and pro athletes such as Todd Day and Chrys Chukhuma have trained with Chris. With a very successful speed training program, Chris and his trainers have trained athletes that have signed with teams in the SEC, PAC-10, and many other conferences. He has also consulted with colleges on injury prevention programs. Low Back Pain: Chris has developed a lumbar stabilization program that every patient should enroll. The small endurance muscles weaken after an injury, just like the muscles weaken after a knee or ankle injury. Most patients do not strengthen the proper muscles after their pain reduces and they are more likely to have low back pain again in the future. A Sample of Chris' experience: * Orthopedic rehabilitation for shoulder, knee, ankle, hip, and back utilizing manual therapy theories and treatment with an exercise base. * Providing medical coverage for local high school and junior high football games and practices. * Evaluation and treatment of patients that involve spinal cord injuries, total knee and hip surgery, multiple fractures, & status post surgery ACL. * Providing care for a diverse caseload including general orthopedic/sports, pediatric, hand, and senior adults. |
