Dr. Chris Hildenbrand

Dr. Chris is a Colorado native who grew up in Colorado Springs and now lives in Aurora with his wife, Sarah, and their dog, Ambey. He grew up in a very active household and became most passionate about basketball and snowboarding, playing Division Two college basketball before a torn-up left ankle sparked his passion for helping people come back better than before their injury.

Chris earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from South College in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2024, and fell in love with orthopedics and sports along the way. He holds the Performance Rehab Authority (PRA) and Barbell Rehab Sports Performance (BRS) certifications. He is client-goal oriented, focused on getting rid of pain, restoring movement, and rebuilding strength and resilience. His philosophy: pain is the first to go and the last to come back. He loves working with basketball players, snow sport enthusiasts, competitive athletes, and everyday movers.

Outside the clinic, Chris enjoys park days with Sarah and Ambey, coaching and playing basketball, and snowboarding the back bowls of Keystone. Fun fact: he’s a big Star Wars fan, always willing to discuss, debate, or educate.
