Chris Barrett

Specialist Spinal PhysiotherapistPrincipal Physiotherapist

Chris is your back expert!

After years of practice as a physiotherapist in private hospitals and repairing rugby league players from butting heads and body slams in Sheffield UK, he decided Perth was the place to be, back in 1982.

By 1986 he completed another qualification with Graduate Diploma in Manipulative Physiotherapy. And before he knew it, he was back in the hospitals at the Mount Physiotherapy that became Specialist Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy.

Chris worked with more young, bruised and battered bodies for the West Coast Eagles between 1993 to 1999 and in the midst of it completed a Masters of Physiotherapy in 1995, investigating complex spinal movement.

But his real accomplishment came when he completed his specialisation to become a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist in 2007.

The one thing that Chris has learnt through all of his years is how to have a “Good Back” rather than a bad one. He also just happens to know how you can have a good one too.

Ross Clifford

Specialist Sport PhysiotherapistPrincipal Physiotherapist

Ross is a Perth boy born and bred, finishing his physiotherapy degree with honours at Curtin University in 1992. But back then, his passion was surfing and completed a comparative research project investigating low back pain in surfers and surf lifesavers.

He went on to complete a post graduate degree in Sports Physiotherapy and ended up working with Chris at the Mount Hospital Physiotherapy from 1992.

Between 1995 and 2003 Ross was the physiotherapist for the Western Warriors cricket team where he used his Sports training to analyse causative factors of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, to fasten recovery through targeted manual therapy and rehabilitation exercises.

Not to be outdone by Chris, Ross also completed his Specialisation at Australian College of Physiotherapists as a Specialist Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist in 2009.

And putting Ross in clearly the winner’s circle he is now a Councillor for the Australian College of Physiotherapists, a member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association Professional Standards Committee and a member of the APA National Sports Physiotherapy Committee.
