Our Why
Christopher Mohr, PT, DPT, OCS, and Peter Erickson, PT, DPT, have their own unique stories that merge together to create the vision and mission of The Summit Physical Therapy.
Christopher Mohr, a former collegiate soccer player, has dedicated over 20 years of his life to healing and serving the people of the Central Valley. With a master's and doctoral degree in physical therapy, Christopher's passion lies in promoting movement, reducing pain, restoring function, and preventing disability for sports and orthopedic injuries. As the co-owner of The Summit Physical Therapy and Director of Clinical Operations, he ensures the highest level of care is provided to patients. Christopher's expertise as a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and his role as the Site Coordinator for Clinical Education exemplifies his commitment to training future physical therapy professionals.
Meanwhile, Peter shares his own Summit Story, which ignited the creation of The Summit. Peter's life took a drastic turn when he fell ill in 2017, experiencing paralysis, confusion, and seizures due to a virus affecting his brain. Throughout this challenging journey, his wife Kristin became his unwavering support, navigating the complex healthcare system and shouldering the responsibility of caring for him and their family. Their firsthand experience highlighted the shortcomings of the healthcare system, where they often encountered indifference and impersonal care. They longed for an environment that prioritized compassion, joy, and personalized treatment.
During his rehabilitation, Peter realized that the existing healthcare system often prioritized the system itself rather than the needs and goals of the individual. Motivated to make a difference, he returned to the field of physical therapy and embarked on a mission to create a transformative healthcare experience. Inspired by his own struggles, Peter envisioned The Summit as a place that went beyond traditional physical therapy. He sought to build a team of professionals who deeply cared about their clients, offering not just healthcare but a holistic approach that addressed the client's goals, empowered them, and simplified the complex healthcare system for their families.
Combining Christopher's expertise and Peter's personal journey, The Summit Physical Therapy was born. The vision was to create a peaceful, joy-filled environment where individuals receive more than healthcare—a place where their lives are restored and their goals are prioritized. The Summit team utilizes cutting-edge tools and a team approach to provide exceptional care that goes beyond physical therapy. It is a place where clients are treated as valued individuals, receiving personalized service and support to achieve monumental, life-changing progress.
Christopher and Peter's stories intertwine to create The Summit's core values of compassion, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, gentleness, kindness, goodness, love, and self-control. These values guide the entire organization as they strive to fulfill their ultimate vision of healing and serving their patients and the community they cherish. The Summit is a testament to their shared passion for making a positive impact on the lives of others, ensuring that the San Joaquin Valley receives exceptional care for years to come.
