Dr. Christopher “Marv” Marvin, DC is a performance-based chiropractic clinician practicing in Seabrook, TX, specializing in nutrition, fitness, human performance, and rehabilitation.
Dr. Marv has been immersed in health, wellness, and fitness for over 18 years. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Sonoma State University and his Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College West in San Jose, California, graduating as class valedictorian.
Dr. Marv developed extensive experience in both physical therapy and strength & conditioning environments early in his career, working in an acute physical therapy clinic before becoming a fitness coach and specialist in corporate gym settings and then owning and operating a private training studio. There, he specialized in one-on-one coaching, online programming, and educational content creation.
He has since expanded his impact into the athletic performance world, writing the strength & conditioning program for Alvin Community College Baseball, where his programming contributed to increased team performance and a reduction in injuries over the season. He is also the team chiropractor for both the men’s and women’s Bay Area Rugby Clubs.
Dr. Marv has worked with elite strength athletes on some of the biggest stages in the world, including the Arnold Sports Festival World’s Strongest Firefighter competition, and was one of only four chiropractors to work the Official Strongman Games World Finals, treating top competitors in the sport.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Marv is a recognized educator and content creator. He has hosted seminars at over 20 locations, appeared on multiple podcasts covering topics ranging from bodybuilding and rehab science to business and marketing, and is the creator of “Bodybuilding Anatomy & Meathead Biomechanics 101” course through his Educated Meathead platform. He also develops comprehensive training programs spanning beginner to advanced levels for bodybuilding, general fitness, and athletic performance.
He previously co-hosted the advanced bodybuilding training podcast ‘Between Two Dumbbells‘ that is still on YouTube if you’re a lifting enthusiast looking to dive deeper into training, biomechanics, and hypertrophy.With over a decade of study in evidence-based nutrition and supplementation, Dr. Marv integrates performance nutrition strategies into his patient care to help individuals optimize both recovery and long-term outcomes.
While he may look like Superman, his story tells a different side of resilience. Dr. Marv has personally undergone nine surgeries, experienced multiple fractures, muscle and ligament tears, a head injury, and chronic pain conditions. He has been on the patient side of the system—seeing over 30 doctors for a single injury and even being told his pain was fabricated.
He was repeatedly advised to give up the activities he loved—soccer, basketball, triathlons, and eventually lifting weights and playing guitar. That final recommendation became the turning point.
Instead of accepting limitations, Dr. Marv built a career around challenging them.
That journey led to the creation of Coastal Performance Chiropractic, where his core message to every patient is simple:
“You are NOT broken, and you are NOT fragile.”
His approach—Performance-Driven Healthcare—blends advanced manual therapy, cutting-edge technology, strength & conditioning principles, and patient education to restore both function and confidence.
In his free time, Dr. Marv continues to build The Educated Meathead platform, continues to podcast frequently, works events such as strongman and powerlifting meets, bodybuilding shows, the Crossfit Open, etc. and enjoys training, traveling, and spending time on the beach with his partner.
