Charissa L. Chaban, MPT, ATC

So, after high school, she attended UC Irvine to receive her Bachelors in Biological Sciences and Dance, then went on to receive her Masters in Physical Therapy from California State University, Fresno.

Charissa has worked in Hawaii and as a traveler throughout California, deciding in 2009 that ESPT was the clinic for her to settle down at. She is also a Certified Athletic Trainer and has worked with numerous athletes in a variety of sports. She is a certified Polestar Pilates instructor in mat and all apparatus and is available for individual sessions.
