Christopher Davenport Physiotherapist

U.K based Physiotherapist with a holistic approach to client wellbeing and passion for lifestyle medicine. Developing an interest in the relationship between the gut microbiome and musculoskeletal health.

I've gained clinical experience working within the National Health Service and private practice since qualifying as a Physiotherapist in 1997 (Pinderfields College of Physiotherapy - University of Leeds).

Having attended workshops in Visceral, Vascular and Neural Manipulation; also the Manual Articular Approach with the Barral Institute U.K. Craniosacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute U.K.

I apply Visceral Manipulation within my current scope of practice, in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. I'm unfortunately unable to offer this modality in the treatment of non-musculoskeletal conditions at this moment in time.
