Chris was drawn to becoming a physiotherapist from the start. Chris is a person who is all about community, helping others and improving the lives and well-being of those who entrust him with his care and expertise.
Chris became a physiotherapist to aid people in his West Auckland community and beyond to help people regain strength, mobility, and freedom from pain and injury. A highlight of Chris's studies is the time he spent in Northland which afforded him a huge variety of practice in hospital and private settings while honing in on his musculoskeletal treatment and rehabilitation. Chris enjoyed spending time learning, growing and expanding his knowledge base reading him to join us here at Viva.
