Chris Jarmey qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1979. He also studied acupuncture and osteopathy in the early 1980's. He is the author of several best-selling books, including The Concise Book of Muscles. Chris teaches body mechanics, bodywork therapy, and anatomy extensively throughout Europe.
