"The training for this marathon was very tough on my body there were times I thought my body would not make it to race day. Luckily I found muscle doc and after my first session I felt so much relief. I went to see him weekly until race day. He helped me so much by allowing my body to get pain relief and also by body would feel refreshed/stronger after our session allowing me to continue with my training."

"Therapy sessions with Chris Brenner are what keep me injury and pain free so I can compete at the highest national and international level in my sport. My personal trainer referred me to Chris for treatment of chronic back spasms that had plagued me for years in spite of injections, chiropractic treatments and massages. Chris’ persistence in investigating the source of the problem and his targeted treatments have brought the problem under control. Best therapist in San Diego!"

PREHAB THERAPY
Preparation is the secret to high achievement in any area of life – especially physical training and athletics. Many people fail to take this necessary step before staring a training program and later suffer from injuries and slow advancement. Use therapeutic prehab to prep your muscles before engaging in strenuous activities or programs. With the right preparation, you’ll be able to workout with enhanced precision, avoid costly injuries, and produce phenomenal results.
REHAB THERAPY
The damaging effects of an injury can last long after the initial healing. To best protect yourself and your future abilities, start a rehab program immediately after the injury occurs. Delaying treatment leads to reduce mobility, lingering pain, and overall reduced performance as the body learns unwanted muscle memory while compensating for the injury. Repair from the start and ensure an active future.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY
The body is a beautiful machine – and it’s our job to keep it in fine, functioning form. Heavy training, poor sleep, stress, and other lifestyle factors can lead to breakdowns in the system that keep us from living our lives fully. How do we maintain a healthy body and mind to stay in the game? Maintenance treatments.
Maintenance treatments are like tune-ups for your body. We address issues while they are small to prevent bigger problems or injuries down the road. We release built up stress, tension, or knots to keep the body and mind working smoothly. We enhance all aspects health to stay in top shape.

Chris Brenner L.Ac.
FOUNDER OF THE MUSCLE DOC METHOD
I received my Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine in 2016. During my medical training we studied over 300 individual herbs and complex formulas to treat modern diseases. As a student my interest in Sports Medicine began while interning at the University of California’s San Diego Sports Medicine RIMAC Center.
I have over 8 years of clinical experience working with many athletes including olympic, professional mixed martial artists, NPC and IFBB Pro bodybuilders. At the core of the Muscle Doc Method is our belief that injury prevention and wellness through pre-hab is achievable and necessary for athletes and active individuals at all levels. We have the training and experience to properly treat sports injuries with the goal of helping our patients continue their sports activities and helping you recover as quickly as possible.
