🌟 Meet the newest member of our AOST family — Chris McKallen, PT, DPT!

Chris earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Ithaca College in 2017 and brings extensive experience in both post-operative rehab and outpatient orthopedics across New York and Maryland.

A lifelong athlete with a passion for movement, Chris grew up competing in hockey and lacrosse, while also diving into action sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, and dirt biking. Today, that same passion fuels his mission to help patients recover and return to the activities they love most.

When he’s not working with patients, you can find Chris hiking local trails, snowboarding in PA, reading fantasy novels by the pool, or training at Standard Jiu Jitsu.

Help us give Chris a warm welcome to the AOST team! 🙌

💡 Did you know that collaboration between orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists can make a huge difference in recovery outcomes?

Research and clinical experience show that when these specialists work together, patients:
✔️ Recover faster
✔️ Regain function more safely
✔️ Return to daily activities and sports with fewer setbacks

At Aligned Orthopedic & Sports Therapy, our team has real-time access to medical records and direct communication with surgeons. This allows us to adjust treatment plans based on what was repaired in surgery—protecting the healing area, preventing harmful movements, and accelerating the path to full recovery.

🤝 Better teamwork = better outcomes.
