I’m originally from South Korea and moved to New Zealand in early 2019. My wife, 3-year-old son and I have settled down in Levin. Prior to that, I lived in Australia for 4 years to have various experiences which I believed developed me into who I am now.
I have 2 physio degrees, from Korea (2014) and my Bachelor of Physiotherapy (AUT 2023). I also, have a diploma of remedial massage from Australia (2018). I have an interest in hands-on treatment skills which I believe, combined with my formal degree and further study plan will continue to develop my skills. I’d like to study specialized musculoskeletal physiotherapy in the future. I strongly believe that a combination of exercises and hands-on treatments are the most important for healing and rehabilitation.
I enjoy playing and watching football, and I’m a big fan of the English Premier League! I'm currently playing football for Levin AFC.
I also enjoy camping with my family and often travel around for a few nights staying at various campsites. One of my life goals is to travel all around New Zealand and explore the beautiful nature! View details »
I graduated as a physiotherapist from Otago University in 2016 and in addition have a post-graduate certificate in sport and exercise. I’m a big believer in both mental and physical exercise as it not only aligns with the evidence but because it puts you in control of your recovery.
When I’m not working as a physiotherapist you can find me on the sidelines of the football field where I serve as manager (and occasional player) for a semi-social team in Waikanae. Football aside, my main passion is reading anything and everything and spending time with my wife Claudia, and fur baby Labrador Zizou.

I started KCP Physiotherapy quite a few years ago at Don Oliver’s Fitness City and then moved to Kapiti Road. Transit NZ purchased my site for the state highway over pass so we moved into the Kapiti Aquatic Centre as a main sponsor. I have a long history looking after numerous sports teams across numerous codes. I have completed three Post Graduate Diplomas and have my Masters degree in Physiotherapy (endorsed in acupuncture). I have significant experience with needling, manipulative therapy and exercise prescription. In my spare time I love exercise, I spent many years sport fighting, weightlifting and in the last 8 years have been doing CrossFit. As I age (very slowly...) my main focus is complex chronic injuries. These days I mostly only work early mornings. View details »
