London trained, Dr Chris Jensen brings an international flavour to the Kinetikos team. Travelling to the UK initially for travel and to work as a head chef, Chris rediscovered a passion for human movements which led him to studying at the London School of Osteopathy. Having completed his studies, Chris holds a Masters of Osteopathy and has five years’ experience working in a busy Brisbane clinic.
Chris’s interest in human movements began in his teenage years competing in athletics, cycling and triathlons. Chris took this interest to university initially studying Human movements and psychology, but it was his passion for food that led him to defer these studies and begin his career as a chef. After working in restaurants in Brisbane, Chris travelled to London to further his cheffing career. What was intended to be a two year working holiday turned into a ten year career and life change, with Chris returning to Australia in 2014 with his wife and young son.
