About Vital Fortitude Rehab
We are honored to be recognized as one of the best physical therapy clinics in San Diego.
Why do we do what we do?
Our healthcare system functions more as a sick-care system–where symptoms are treated, but not always the underlying cause. This leaves us dependent on endless drugs, injections and surgeries (all of which can be life-saving and necessary in certain cases).
At Vital Fortitude, we vehemently espouse the notion that we are stronger as a community and as a nation when we have agency and control over our health.
We will stop at nothing to help as many people as we can to experience the life-changing effects of holistic treatments that give the individual an understanding of their body, and the tools to affect how it functions and feels.
At Vital Fortitude Rehab And Performance, we understand that physical pain and limitations can hinder your ability to lead a fulfilling life. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of physical therapy services to help you recover and regain your strength. Our skilled therapists use hands-on techniques and the latest evidence-based practices to guide you toward optimal health.
Dr. C. Evan Johnson
Dr. Evan works at Vital Fortitude which is one of the best accredited physical therapy clinics in San Diego.
Christopher Evan Johnson, PT, DPT is a physical therapist who obtained both his B.S. and Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees from Long Beach State University.
After working in traditional physical therapy clinics for two years, Dr. Evan Johnson became disenchanted with the restrictions facing healthcare today, including long wait times to see patients and pressure to see as many people as possible throughout the day without an emphasis on helping them solve the actual problem.
His life purpose is to guide others to understand the factors that coincide with pain or injury, and overcome them holistically.
“When a condition or injury is understood at an experiential level, we are empowered to overcome it with our own agency; giving us greater freedom in life.”

FAQ
What to expect
During our one hour initial evaluation, we will complete an assessment, perform any necessary treatment/exercises, discuss a plan of care (including how to modify current crossfit/weightlifting training), and design a rehab game plan.
I strongly believe everyone has the power to overcome injuries with a little guidance, consistent work, and patience. I don’t want you to have to see me twice a week for the rest of your life. I’m here to be your guide, to help you heal yourself.
Insurance
Over the last several years, insurance companies have reduced payment to physical therapists significantly and increased the burden of paperwork. Because of this many physical therapy clinics have chosen to reduce costs by decreasing time with a qualified therapist to 20 minutes or less and using aides for exercise supervision and passive modalities. These are the reasons I left the clinic environment and have committed to provide quality individualized care here at ATR. I will be working directly with you during our scheduled time and will not let an insurance company dictate how we want to work together.

The CrossFit class is grounded under one basic principle: Position = Power. We teach you how to use techniques to get yourself into better positions, so you are automatically stronger and faster without doing any additional exercise. You will learn a variety of flexibility, massage, and joint mobility techniques to improve your athletic performance, extend your athletic career, treat body stiffness and achy joints, and rehabilitate injuries.
After seeing thousands of athletes move in our group classes and visit our deep tissue therapy office, we saw a clear pattern for healthy performance. We learned that 90% of the most common injuries are preventable and that athletes simply lacked an understanding of simple mechanics and the tools to improve those mechanics through increased flexibility and range of motion.
We teach athletes how to fix their individual nagging aches and pains, prevent injury, and improve athletic performance. Humans have been evolving for millions of years and the human body is extraordinarily engineered. However, none of us were ever given the tools for how to perform basic maintenance on ourselves… until now!
For any issues requiring a specialist, ATR has two of the best in the business to help you! Check out Kelley Schlager for more info.
