The Art and Science of Change: Chris Gaurin on Modern Performance Therapy

Send us a text

This week, I sit down with Chris Gaurin.  Chris is a San Diego–based performance therapist whose unique journey blends athletic performance, rehabilitation, education, and artistic storytelling. Growing up in a deeply creative family of musicians and writers, Chris sees movement as a universal language—an expression of human potential.

After developing an early passion for training during his high-school football years, Chris spent over a decade navigating the fitness and performance world. His path included mentorship from industry leaders, immersion in corporate wellness environments, and hands-on experience collaborating with speed and performance specialists.

As a Director of Education, Chris has taught and mentored practitioners at multiple levels, and has spoken for organizations including Google, where he makes complex performance principles accessible and actionable.

His evolution from fitness coach to integrative therapist led him into the clinical setting as a San Diego referral for the Postural Restoration Institute. Today, Chris works to blend manual therapy, neuromechanics, and athlete-driven change into a non-siloed model of performance care—grounded in curiosity, informed by neuroscience, and shaped by his creative approach to learning and teaching.

Enjoy!
