Chris’s Bio:

I love our Central Performance vision of improving the health & lives of our clients & the Surry Hills community. The challenge & fulfilment of building a team that takes each client’s aspirations & goals, whether to win at the elite competitive level or just to feel great & have heaps of energy, & turn them into reality is what really gets me out of bed in the morning.

Working with my wonderful team to develop & deliver our great range of services that I know will keep people more active, and healthier & having fun with their family & friends is the most inspiring part of my work. I also love seeing our athletes at the peak of their performance, especially knowing the work & training they’ve been through to get there.

I have both undergraduate & master’s degrees from Sydney University, & extensive experience in providing physio coverage for representative rugby teams in the UK.

Interests:

I have a special interest in treating headaches and neck pain, and have completed several post-graduate courses in this area. Headaches can be very debilitating for clients and challenging to manage, so being able to provide an effective, long-lasting and drug-free treatment option is very rewarding.

I also love working with our runners, right from recreational to elite levels. Helping them run to the best of their ability, whether that’s competing at the nationals, doing their first marathon, or just running regularly to stay fit and healthy, is such a positive part of my work.

Something Fun:

Together with my lovely wife Jude, my weekends are usually spent having fun & playing sport with my beautiful kids Dan, Fin & Sophie. I love stand-up paddling & think it’s one of the best workouts around!
