Chris Mendias, PhD, ATC is the Director of Rehabilitation at the Performance Medicine Institute. An accomplished rehabilitation clinician scientist, Dr. Mendias earned his undergraduate degree in Biology and Athletic Training and a masters degree in Physiology from the University of Arizona, and his PhD in Molecular and Integrative Physiology from the University of Michigan Medical School. Dr. Mendias served as a member of the sports medicine staff at the University of Arizona and the University of Michigan. Dr. Mendias has advanced our understanding of tissue healing, repair, and rehabilitation with a particular emphasis on hip, pelvis, shoulder and knee injuries. He has published over 90 scientific publications in top research journals, with many focused on pelvic health. Dr. Mendias has served as a Professor at the University of Michigan, with appointments in Orthopaedic Surgery, MedSport, and Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Dr. Mendias was also as a Professor at the Hospital for Special Surgery and Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. He has served as a consultant for pharmaceutical companies, orthopaedic device companies, and professional sports leagues. At the Performance Medicine Institute, we offer a comprehensive Pelvic Health Program that is based on extensive clinical trials and scientific research. We utilize our expertise in neuroscience, connective tissue therapy, and endocrinology to treat muscle, tendon, bone, vascular, nerve and hormonal disorders of the pelvis. This includes erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, pelvic muscle injuries, incontinence, pubalgia, hard flaccid syndrome, penile fractures, prostatitis, urinary retention, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), sports hernias, Peyronie's disease, groin pain, proctalgia fugax, coccydynia, and others. We also help patients who have had prostate or bladder cancer surgery improve pelvic and erectile function, and treat any lasting chronic pain. We work closely with urologists in coordinating surgical and post-operative care. Our practice includes both rehabilitation and medical management of pelvic floor conditions, including medication management, regenerative therapies, and interventional procedures.
