Chris is an exercise physiologist who specialises in helping clients manage and treat chronic pain and injuries. He is currently completing his PhD researching the most effective exercise options to reduce low back pain and strengthen the spine. While presenting his research, Chris has been fortunate to share the stage with world-leading experts in pain research. Driven by a passion for sharing knowledge, Chris teaches within the Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Deakin University.

Alongside research and teaching, Chris owns The Healesville Wellness Factory and Yarra Valley Wellness Clinic. He founded the business over ten years ago with the mission to empower people in pain to be more active and live a healthy life. His experience with exercise rehab, particularly Clinical Pilates, comes from working in many of Melbourne's top exercise physiology clinics. Growing up in the Yarra Valley, Chris wanted to bring this high standard of treatment and offer it within his community.

When not spending time with his new baby, Chris loves to be active and outdoors with hiking, running and golf. He prioritises his own self-care with a focus on good sleep, daily exercise and regular mindfulness practice.
