Chris Barber BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy MCSP
Chartered and Health Professions Council Registered Physiotherapist
Director APC Ltd
Since graduating from King's College London in 1996 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy, Chris has embarked on a successful career encompassing working in London teaching hospitals, occupational health and private practice. In 1999 Chris established his first private practice in Dulwich and over the years the business has gone from strength to strength. In 2000 Chris was appointed Head Physiotherapist at Blackheath Rugby Club where he has helped the Club achieve their current position in National League 2. Chris then established a second private practice within the facilities at Blackheath.
Recognising the need for evidenced based, effective and affordable physiotherapy Chris incorporated Advanced Physiotherapy Centres Ltd in 2005. Since then the business has acquired two more sites helping achieve Chris' goal of defining the way that 21st century musculoskeletal physiotherapy should be delivered. Chris has developed and refined the APC Ltd injury management protocols to ensure consistency of approach and service levels between our practitioners. Chris has also developed injury prevention, screening and rehabilitation protocols for our associate personal trainers at The Better Body Shop ensuring clients are able to exercise safely at optimal levels .
Chris has completed post-graduate qualifications in musculoskeletal acupuncture (including the world-renowned Gunn-IMS technique) and he enjoys nothing more than the challenge of fixing patients who have failed treatment elsewhere.
Chris is married to Jo and together they have a son Leo. Chris is a former rugby player and can now be found spending his spare time playing golf (badly), running and cycling.
