Chris McCarthyHead Of Exercise Physiology

Qualifications & Education

• Bachelor of Exercise Physiology (UNSW)

Chris’s Bio:

I have always been fascinated with the body’s movement, particularly during exercise, and coming from a family of health professionals, it was only a matter of time before I ventured into the field for myself. This led me to completing a Bachelor of Exercise Physiology from UNSW, which I completed in 2017. Some of you may recognise me from my time at Central Performance as a prac student, and I’m now proud to say I’ve worked my way up to becoming head of exercise physiology in this fantastic team!

As an Exercise Physiologist, I get great joy from watching my clients achieve their goals through exercise whilst building lasting relationships with them, and enjoy the challenge of providing stimulating yet effective treatment in order to do this. I love working with clients in order to get them back on track to exercising post injury, and have experience in doing this with clients from a Cardiorespiratory and Musculoskeletal background.

Interests:

Chronic lower back pain, mental health and cardiovascular rehabilitation

Something Fun:

I can balance a broom on one finger whilst riding a tricycle. It’s more difficult than it sounds.
