Owner/Founder Presidio Sport & Medicine
 
Chris Chorak is the founder of Presidio Sport & Medicine, an active lifestyle and wellness clinic that specializes in more than just physical therapy.

Drawing from more than 15 years of physical therapy and athletic training experience, Chorak founded Presidio Sport & Medicine in 1997 with the mission of treating the patient holistically. Her goal is to take each patient beyond recovery and return them to optimal physical and mental health. Prior to starting PSM, Chorak worked with such organizations as Advantage Fitness, Ultrahealth and ProActive Fitness.

Chorak is noted for her active involvement in the community. She co-created The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team-In-Training Triathlon program and provides free injury consultation to programs such as TNT and AIDS Marathon. She has been found volunteering at the Hawaii Ironman Medical Tent for years. Chorak is also a regular lecturer on topics such as injury prevention, race-day nutrition, the importance of core strength, and the biomechanics of swimming, cycling and running.

As an endurance athlete, aquatic running specialist and former triathlete, Chorak has completed over 100 triathlons and open water swims, including the prestigious Ironman and Escape from Alcatraz races. Chorak is a recent mother of twin boys, and finds balancing work, family and her own well-being a very rewarding challenge. Chorak graduated from Northwestern School of Medicine in 1988 with a degree in Physical Therapy and earned her undergraduate degree in Athletic Training from Purdue University. She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association and holds a physical therapy license from the state of California.
