Dr. Chris Raynor

With over two decades of experience in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, Dr. Raynor has dedicated his career to keeping people active, injury-free, and performing at their best.
His philosophy is simple: better movement leads to better health. That’s why he created Human 2.0—a space where cutting-edge rehabilitation meets strength and mobility training. From high-performance athletes to everyday movers, Dr. Raynor believes everyone deserves access to the tools and knowledge to optimize their movement for life. As an ex-CIS and CFL athlete, he has a keen understanding of the physical demands athletes face.
At Human 2.0, Dr. Raynor leads a team of expert practitioners, integrating manual therapists, exercise therapy, and education to bridge the gap between injury recovery and long-term performance. Whether he’s in the operating room, the clinic, or on YouTube breaking down movement mechanics, his mission remains the same: help people move better, recover faster, and build resilience for the future.
