Connor Davidson

I believe health is the level of one’s ability to self-manage and not simply be absent of disease and injury. This comes through the quality of our relationships and the belief in our ability to control our lives. My own health regarding the confidence I carry and the relationships I’ve made through living an active lifestyle is something I feel everyone should have the opportunity to seize. A good physio helps others seek and build these attributes through activity, and from my own passions in movement and teaching, I can’t imagine anything else I’m better suited for.
My mission is to facilitate health through movement, which I believe I can do best with a great team that supports and values each other’s strengths.

Life outside work

I’m obsessed with progress and creative outlets. From chasing personal bests in the gym to making and editing videos. My friends and family ground me and will always come first.

My favourite thing

I’m a morning person (eugghh), as long as I have a great cup of coffee. Being active with the people I love trumps anything else.
