James Werner, DC, MSc. Sports Med., CSCS
Directory of Rehabilitation at Tread Athletics
Growing up, James Werner was a high-level hockey player, wearing a letter on multiple teams that went to Nationals. Unfortunately, he suffered a string of injuries that culminated in one that knocked him out of the National Championship game. Struggling to understand why he was never the same after his injuries, James set off on a professional journey to give other injured athletes the opportunity to flip the script.
Now a chiropractor and clinician who helps athletes reach peak performance following injuries in their own careers, James has worked with athletes at every level, from high school and college to NHL players, Olympians, and MLB pitchers. As the Director of Rehabilitation at Tread Athletics, James’ expert skillset (D.C., M.Sc. Sports Med., CSCS) plays an integral role in hands-on therapy at Tread HQ, continuing education for our performance department, and the buildout of protocols and resources for remote athletes.
