About Dr. Chris
Dr. Christobal Saenz is a sports physical therapist in Austin, Texas, and a board-certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) at Voltex Physical Therapy. He specializes in sports rehabilitation and orthopedic care, helping runners, powerlifters, triathletes and active adults recover from injury, restore performance and get back to doing what they love.
He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from The University of Texas at Austin and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, where he also completed his orthopedic residency and earned his OCS, a credential held by only a small percentage of physical therapists.
Whether you want to return to sport, hit a new PR, train for a race or simply move without pain, Dr. Chris combines evidence-based practice with hands-on care to help you move better, feel better and perform at your best.
His path to PT
Dr. Chris’s path to physical therapy began on the platform. After a powerlifting injury, his own physical therapist guided him back to competitive running and lifting. That experience shaped his mission: to help every client achieve everything they want, the same way it was done for him.
Outside the clinic, he enjoys weightlifting, running, fencing, fire spinning, crafting silver jewelry and reading.
