Chris graduated from the University of Brighton with a degree in Physiotherapy and brings extensive experience in private practice, having built a strong reputation at a leading clinic in Outer London where he also played a key role in teaching and mentoring the clinical team. His move to Cornwall Physio reflects his commitment to providing the highest standard of evidence-based care in a clinic that shares his values.

Outside of the clinic, Chris is an avid hiker and weightlifter, and a recent (and enthusiastic) convert to running.
