About

Christopher Richard Lefever, PT, DPT

Hi, my name is Chris Lefever. I'm a board-certified, residency and fellowship trained sports physical therapist who works at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. Originally from Pennsylvania, I graduated from Slippery Rock University in 2016 and have spent my entire career in sports medicine since. I focus my practice mostly on post-operative rehabilitation of the extremity. However, I have additional interests in dry needling, manual therapy and many other areas of PT.
