Dr. Chris Whalen, DC
Owner | Founder | Coach
I am a lifelong athlete, sports and rehabilitation chiropractor, and performance coach who helps busy adults build strength, resilience, and long-term health without their lives revolving around the gym.
Since 2015, I have worked with a wide range of individuals. Professional football players and professional wrestlers focused on performance. Parents rebuilding their bodies after years of putting others first. Older adults managing joint replacements, cardiac devices, and chronic limitations while still wanting to feel capable and confident in their bodies. The common thread across all of them was not motivation or discipline. It was time.
I live the same reality as my clients. I work full time as a sports and rehab chiropractor. I run this coaching business and manage every client personally. I have been injured and broken more times than I can count. I am married, a father, and still train consistently for endurance events, strength goals, and long-term health. I do not believe in perfect schedules or ideal conditions. I believe in systems that work inside real life.
My specialty is helping people who feel stretched thin but still want more from their health and performance. If your days are full, your calendar is packed, and you are tired of programs that require everything to be perfect, you are exactly who I coach. There is always a way forward when the plan fits the person.
My coaching goal has three parts
Help you understand what actually matters for your goals
Guide you with a clear, adaptable plan
Create permanent change that does not disappear when life gets busy
Training philosophy
The best program is one that works with your lifestyle, not one that forces your lifestyle to bend around the program.
