Dr Christopher Jones

I am a Consultant in Musculoskeletal, Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) and the current Head of Performance Medicine at Chelsea FC Academy. I previously worked at a FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence, in central London which specialised in the non surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions. Alongside this I have worked as Club Doctor in professional football with Charlton Athletic Football Club and Leyton Orient Football Club.

I have a wealth of experience in managing sports injuries, in both elite and non-elite athletes and specialise in non-surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions. I am passionate about using exercise as a treatment to recover from musculoskeletal injury and medical conditions. I am qualified in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound and have also undergone further training in biomechanics and kinetic assessment.

Supporting patients through being active is a method I promote in their recovery. I have worked on the 'Moving Medicine' resource to create a paediatric obesity and physical activity module. This is an educational programme led by Sport England and Public Health England to raise awareness of the benefits of being active.

I graduated in Medicine in 2007 from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne and underwent training in General Practice. I moved to London in 2013 and was awarded a Master’s degree in Sports Medicine, Exercise and Health from University College London in 2015. Subsequently I have been awarded a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) in Sport and Exercise Medicine and am fellow of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine.
