Representing the top 0.5% of his profession in Australia, Chris brings over two decades of elite high-performance experience to the clinic, most notably serving as the team physiotherapist for Red Bull Racing from 2005 to 2021. His extensive career in elite sport includes tenures with the Australian Men’s Gymnastics Team, the Australian Aerial Skiing national program, and providing care for multiple X Games extreme athletes.

In clinical practice, Chris has a particular affinity for managing complex cases and difficult presentations that require a high level of diagnostic expertise. He specialises in treating injuries of the wrist, hand, and fingers, as well as the lumbar spine. His approach is heavily informed by his work with gymnasts, acrobats, and aerial skiers, leading to a deep interest in stress fractures of the lower back and complex sporting injuries.

Chris is a recognised leader in the physiotherapy profession, currently serving as the Chief Examiner for Sports and Exercise at the Australian College of Physiotherapists. He plays a vital role in shaping the next generation of practitioners as a member of the Board of Examiners and as a Censor for the Specialisation training program.
