Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Chris a number of times for different running injuries and each time the approach has been spot on. The focus is on proper, progressive strength work to address the imbalances that lead to injury, rather than endless band exercises. That’s made a huge difference in both recovery and preventing issues from coming back. I’ve been set up with clear, practical plans that fit into training and have kept me running pain-free. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend Chris highly enough, he is a brilliant and very knowledgeable physio. Chris worked with me to develop multiple exercises routines which have made a huge difference to the issue I went with. The treatments have also been great - 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Chris highly enough. I could barely walk two weeks ago and now I’m ready to take on the gym! The approach is very professional and methodical, I will definitely be coming back again if I have any issues - thank you Chris for getting me back on my feet :)
Fantastic experience: Had my first session with Chris yesterday and it was a great experience. He took the time to understand my issue thoroughly, explained everything clearly, and we now have a solid plan in place moving forward. Feeling confident and optimistic about the progress to come!
Fantastic experience: Chris is seriously a wizard. I was referred to Chris after going to many different physios and getting no results/answers. After only one session I had a completely different direction and some light at the end of the tunnel, he sent me to get some scans, referred me on to a specialist and was able to put me onto a proper rehab program that made a huge difference. I have now been going to Chris for any niggles for about 9 years! He's very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I cannot rate him highly enough. If you are after a great physio (that also happens to be a mad Geelong Cats fan!) Chris is your man!
Fantastic experience: I came to Chris with a chronic problem of constant pain in my shoulders and neck that I had had for some years. Chris fixed it entirely with exercises and massage. I now never feel a twinge in that area but I do the relevant exercises every day of my life. Thank you Chris.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing David Barros (Osteo) the last few weeks for a back injury and sore neck. He has provided me with the knowledge and exercises to strengthen my back and neck, and I have already had huge improvements with very little to no pain. He has also provided manual therapy which has helped relieve tension and pain in the affected areas. David is very professional and friendly. He checks in with my progress and always answers any questions I have. Would highly recommend David to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Chris has been fantastic in getting my knee pain under control. I am back in the gym and able to do all movements with no restrictions and no pain!! Something I hadn’t been able to do for years. Chris is so knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been going to CB Physio for over a year now for recovery from quite a serious knee injury. Dave the Osteo, helped me gain strength in my leg prior to me having my surgery to help with the muscle loss I was going to have after surgery till I could start training and strengthening again. After my surgery Dave has worked in with my surgeon to continually modify my training plan to gain maximum value for the different stages of my recovery. Dave has a passion for the fitness and health industry and and is always expanding his own knowledge and skills which then translates into a more personalised training and management plan. (Dave even attended my surgery as a visitor, to gain further knowledge into the process of a knee reconstruction). When I first attended CB Physio, I spent my first few sessions with Chris who also has an amazing level of knowledge and also a great ability to really personalise plans and exercises to suit each individual. Working shiftwork that changes reguarly Dave is extemely accomodating and will go out of his way to fit in with my schedule even with very minimal notice and will make sure that my exercises and sessions are always timely and fit with my always changing needs. I highly recommend both Chris and Dave for any injury/recovery needs. Above and beyond what you may expect is what you will get.
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience with Chris, very friendly and smart guy. Helped me with my shoulder and hip problems, giving me clear advice and tips on the exercises prescribed, highly recommended !!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Chris for years now and he has worked wonders with my neck and shoulder pain and migraines. He’s professional, warm and kind and I would recommend him for anyone
Fantastic experience: Chris is a master of his craft. Extremely knowledgeable, genuine, thorough and competent. The level of care provided is second to none. My go-to physio every time.
Fantastic experience: Appreciated the time Chris took to take me through my MRI results and explain them I detail (and in layman’s terms) so I was able to make a clear decision on my available options for recovery. Along with his guidance I’m confident I will reach my goals in a fairly short timeline given the injury.
Fantastic experience: Started seeing Chris late August for my mum for a Back injury He performed a thorough physical examination and recommended a Scan for further evaluation. After the Results of the Scan Chris explained the results of the Scans in great detail and depth in easy to understand language and recommended a treatment plan. Coming up to 6 months of regular treatment both in clinic and at home with the right education and exercises, and my mum is pretty much back to pre injury. I highly recommend Chris to ANYONE looking for a Physiotherapist for ANY reason.
Fantastic experience: I first saw Chris approx 5 years ago when training for my first half marathon and have been seeing him ever since. He has helped me overcome many health and physical challenges from multiple PEs to completing my first marathon 11 months later. I would not have been able to get to the start line let alone finish my marathon without his expertise. My legs have recovered well thanks to his magic hands No challenge too great. Very grateful
Fantastic experience: Broke ankle and stretched a few ligaments playing bball. Went to CB Physio on a recommend and was very happy with the results.

Fantastic experience: I can't thank CB Physiotherapy enough for their exceptional care and expertise at the clinic! After suffering a knee injury, I was feeling discouraged, but the strategies and guidance were game-changers. With Chris’ help, I not only regained my mobility but also learned effective techniques to prevent future injuries. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Fantastic experience: I saw Chris relating to a shoulder injury. He was extremely thorough and explained everything in a way I could easily understand. I felt very comfortable and he clearly has a wide range of knowledge. I will be recommending him to my friends and family.
Fantastic experience: David was extreamly thorough in finding exactly what was contributing to my injury and discomfort. We had an in depth conversation and assessment about my training and what movements were leading to my pain. This led to finding alternative movements and focusing on improving my technique along with some rehab work which resulted in a faster recovery time, getting me back to my full training schedule. David was very accommodating with booking times, and his deatailed emails for rehab communicated with both myself and my trainer has got me back on track.
Fantastic experience: Chris is an absolutely fantastic physio. He genuinely cares about his clients and makes sure to follow up on recovery. 10/10 reccomend going here.
Fantastic experience: Have worked through rehabilitating multiple injuries with Chris over the last two years. From Achilles, to back and both shoulders. Every time the approach is methodical and the plan easy to follow. I always feel equipped with the knowledge and confident to implement the rehabilitation exercises to achieve my goals of moving and training pain free. Thanks Chris!
Fantastic experience: Chris is a thorough professional and has been incredibly helpful with my recovery over the last few months. Well thought through, incredibly experienced and practical. Love that all my programs and discussions were emailed to me so I could refer to the exercises etc. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend I have seen both Chris (the physio) and David (the osteo) who are both super easy to talk to and professional at all times.

I couldn't recommend Chris any higher, not only in his service but his communication and genuine 'care' as well. Thanks Chris!!!!!! :D
