He is one of the leading sports injury specialists in the region having amassed over a decade of experience in elite sport with teams including Bradford City AFC, Rotherham United and Wakefield Wildcats RFC. After 15 years treating elite footballers and NHS patients, Chris opened CR Physiotherapy Clinic to bring that standard of care to Wharfedale.

Client Reviews
★★★★★ VERIFIED GOOGLE REVIEW
"After struggling with lower back pain and a calf injury, I decided I needed help getting back to running. Following an in-depth assessment, Chris formulated a clear plan with easy-to-follow exercises that fitted around my working week. Dry needling and massage significantly improved my symptoms and I'm now getting back to running again."

"After surgery on a torn hamstring, I visited CR Physiotherapy Clinic in Menston and Chris sorted me out brilliantly. Professional, knowledgeable physio with great manual therapy and exercises that actually worked. Highly recommend this local physio clinic if you're in Ilkley, Menston or Guiseley."

I’ve seen so many different physios but Chris is the first I’ve been able to trust. He is extremely knowledgeable and works through a thorough long term plan for getting me back to triathlon and fixing the issue long term, and understands the importance of returning to sport. He explains everything really clearly, and helps me understand the recovery process and what muscles I need to focus on rather than just telling me to do some exercises without a reason why.
I’m really happy with my progress, and the exercises and advice has worked really well for me. He also puts up with my attitude of not being able to sit still and AcCidEntiAlLy running and cycling silly distances, but he’s always helped me get back on track if my injury ever flares back up.
Don’t ever leave Leeds please and thank you.
