Dr. Chris Garcia · Sports Physical Therapist · San Diego

I help active adults get back to the things they’ve given up — and I help the physical therapists who treat them get better results.

Olympic Training Center. Ohio State sports residency. Wimbledon, the NFL Combine, the Paralympics. These days most of my work is with people recovering after stem cell injections — from clinics all over the world.

Found me through my YouTube videos on stem cell recovery? The program you heard me talk about lives on its own site.

Most visitors right now

I’ve had stem cell injections — or I’m about to.

The injection is only half the job. What you do over the next six months decides how much you get out of it. My team at Stem Cell Recovery Experts builds that plan with you, week by week.

  • Virtual, wherever you are in the world
  • In person in San Diego
  • Built around the procedure you already had

About me

San Diego’s first residency-trained sports clinical specialist. Now I spend my days on the part of recovery most people get left alone with.

I spent three years at the US Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista and fifteen months in the sports residency at Ohio State. Then I opened my own practice.

For over a decade I’ve watched people pay for regenerative procedures and then get sent home with a rest period and a date to come back. Nobody tells them what they’re cleared to do in between. That gap is what my team and I fill now.
