Meet Chris
Osteopath
Osteopath, S&C Coach, Remedial Massage Therapist, Teaching Scholar (SCU)
I am an Osteopath and Remedial Massage therapist with a passion for strength and conditioning and sports. I have been treating since 2008 and have provided remedial massage to elite sporting teams, including the NRL State of Origin Teams, Melbourne Storm, Gold Coast Titans, and Western Force Rugby. I have an interest in helping treat sporting injuries and assisting in return to sport and prevention of injury, as well as assisting in the management of all pain presentations.
I am currently in clinic Monday and Friday and spend the rest of my week in the role of teaching scholar for Southern Cross University, in the Osteopathy faculty.
I have a keen interest in strength and conditioning, and bodybuilding, giving me a strong awareness of the body and its ability to adapt to various forms of training and load. I am continually building my exercise and rehabilitation experience and incorporate this knowledge of exercise into my management plans. With a belief that regular and varied movement forms the basis of a healthy lifestyle. I am passionate about helping others become more active or return to activities they enjoy. With that being said, I am also aware that not everyone wants to introduce strength training into their current lifestyle. Therefore, my advice and recommendations about exercise and physical activity are always tailored to the individual in front of me.
I am passionate about manual therapy and exploring the research surrounding its mechanisms and effects in relation to pain. I have a keen interest in keeping up to date with research in clinical practice, and health. With a passion for the fitness industry and a constant thirst for knowledge, I am continually striving to find the best ways to help those that see me.
