Miss Aimee Didierjean

Miss Aimee Didierjean

Physiotherapist

Aimee graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (with Credit), completing her final-year placements in Otautahi Christchurch. Born and raised in Christchurch, Aimee grew up as a high-performance artistic gymnast, which sparked her interest in physiotherapy after working closely with physios through her own injuries. Aimee enjoys working with musculoskeletal injuries, particularly supporting people returning to sport or work. She has a strong interest in manual therapy and exercise prescription, and enjoys breaking down movement patterns before rebuilding them in a functional, progressive way. She values individualised care and working alongside clients to support confident recovery. Outside of work, Aimee enjoys the gym, hiking, and getting outdoors — especially beach sunsets — and is actively involved in athlete advocacy through Gymnastics New Zealand and the NZ Sport Integrity Commission.
