Sophie grew up in Christchurch and has always had a strong passion for sport and movement. A keen runner from a young age, she went on to represent New Zealand in age-group triathlon and duathlon, giving her a deep understanding of the physical demands of endurance sport and injury management.
She graduated from the University of Otago in 2021 and has since developed experience working with a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries. Sophie has also worked with rugby and football teams in Christchurch, further strengthening her experience in managing acute and sporting injuries. She has a particular interest in lower limb conditions, especially those related to running and athletic performance.
Her approach to physiotherapy is centred around individualised, evidence-based care, helping patients not only recover from injury but return stronger and more confident. She is also trained in dry needling, which she integrates into treatment where appropriate.
