Christopher Ripley

Chris has a lifelong passion for sports, health, and fitness. Raised in Dubuque, Iowa, he played football and basketball throughout his childhood and into high school. His desire to serve others naturally led him toward a career in healthcare, where he found physical therapy to be the ideal blend of helping people and staying connected to movement and sport.

Chris earned his Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, in 2022. He then relocated to Goodyear, Arizona, to complete his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Franklin Pierce University in 2024. Driven by a strong commitment to continued learning and clinical excellence, Chris joined MTI as part of the Sports Residency Program, where he continues to refine his skills in working with active individuals and athletes.

Chris values the unique role physical therapists play in building meaningful relationships with patients, tailoring recovery plans to individual goals, and empowering people with the tools to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle long after treatment ends.

Outside of the clinic, Chris enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking with his girlfriend, and playing basketball. He’s also a proud Wisconsin sports fan—go Packers, Bucks, Brewers, and Badgers!
