We identify root causes like spinal stiffness or muscle imbalances, then apply targeted techniques to relieve pain and restore mobility. Clients benefit from tailored rehabilitation plans that prevent future flare-ups.

I went to Chris with pain in my hip that had been bothering me for a while a few weeks before my first ultra marathon. Chris was excellent and provided me with some great advice and rehab exercises to enable me to run pain free again so quickly! I highly recommend Chris to anyone - he is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

A few years ago i had a terrible experience with Physio and actively avoided it as a result. i was forced to visit Physio7 before my insurer would consider surgery. i am so glad i did, Chris is great and has totally changed my opinion, even better he has got me to the point where surgery probably wont be needed

I started going to see Chris in September last year due to issues with my lower back. The sessions were really good and I always left feeling better than when I went in. Chris also advised some stretches and exercises to do outside of the sessions to help strengthen and help prevent the issue reoccurring. I would really recommend this place.
