Chris (Chick) Jones
Chris Jones is a sporty minded former chartered accountant from Wales. When he came to Australia he transitioned into becoming a Chek Professional and 15 years ago, with some colleagues opened a physical training studio, Primal Movement on Sydney’s Northern Beaches where he is still practicing today.
Chris is now the sole owner of Primal Movement and is a husband to Nicky and Father of two beautiful children.
Close to three years ago Chris was holidaying with his young family when he was caught in a significant windstorm, where he sustained life threatening injuries when a large tree fell on him. Whilst trapped for two hours under the tree and the subsequent rebuilding of his pelvis and some of his internal organs, Chris found and drew upon his quiet and humble inner strength to not only survive the injuries, but to walk again and return to his family and the job he loves.
This episode of Raw- Heart and Soul is personal and at times I found it difficult to keep my emotions under control. Chris is part of my Chek family, and when the news of his accident came through, I understood just what a serious position he was in. And I worried for his life and his family, and if he survived, how he would recover.
We talk about the methods he instinctively used in order to stay alive until help arrived, the pain and trauma he experienced during and after the accident and how he found the drive to put everything he had into his rehabilitation, when the outcomes where completely unknown.
Please join me in sharing what is an ongoing journey of learning about what I would say is courage, but what I know Chris would disagree and say is, just doing what he had to do.
