Chris is a friendly and very knowledgeable hands-on physiotherapist specialized in shoulders; he facilitated my recovery post shoulder-surgery, where he actively supervised exercises to strengthen in increased fashion the affected shoulder muscles in weekly appointments, including a 10-15min massage of these affected/related muscle groups at the end of each one-hour session. Thanks Chris, much appreciated.

I had an injuryon my mountain bike 2 and half years ago and hurt my lower back badly which led to pain on my left side. I lost counts of how many professionals I was referred to see in the last 2 and half years to find the cause of this excruciating pain to the point I was unable to walk. That included: neuro, back surgeon, got a couple of cortisone injections on the affected area, sports physio, other physios etc). None of them found the cause and kept referring me to someone else. I found Chris online so I rang him and booked an appointment. I was so hoping that he would identify what was wrong with my lower back because no doctors had found the cause of this pain at that point. He was able to identify the issue in the first 5 minutes of our appointment. Chris targeted the issue with a deep tissue massage and some targeted exercises one-a-one for the muscle to release that pressure and start the healing process itself. After 3 visits I was able to start at the gym again as the pain had decreased substantially at that point. I really appreciate all the help Chris has given me and the confidence for me to go back to the gym and exercise again. I am glad I was able to find a professional who cared enough to find the issue, get me back to exercise, back to a normal life and pain free! Thank you very much and I would highly recommend Chris as your Physio! Regards, Priscila.

I highly recommend Chris, especially for his physio knowledge, experience and professional approach. He was spot-on first time with the diagnoses, treatment, and on top of that provided me with a handy rehab training program.
