I have been working at KCP Physiotherapy since 2017. I completed my Bachelors Degree in Physiotherapy in 2016, a Postgraduate Diploma in Sports Physiotherapy in 2020 and my Masters in Manipulative Therapy in 2021. I have also completed a Certificate in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (COMT) through the New Zealand Manipulative Association (NZMPA) in 2018 and an advanced sideline injury management course, Immediate Care in Rugby Level 2 through NZ Rugby.
I am heavily involved with rugby out here on the coast, working with the Horowhenua-Kapiti Heartland Team as Lead Physiotherapist from 2017-2020, and then as a playing squad member in 2021. I still play in the local Paraparaumu Premiers and have had my share of injuries along the way.
I believe this first-hand experience of simple sprains or strains to injuries requiring surgery allows me to connect with my patients on a mutual level and successfully get them back to whatever their activity goals are. It doesn't matter if it's a walk on the beach, being able to look after the grandkids, or competing at a high level, I am happily here to help. View details »
I was born in England and raised in Christchurch where I developed a keen interest in everything sports-related, sparking my interest in Physiotherapy. I am a keen runner and enjoy training for various long-distance events, as well as going to the gym in my spare time.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of Otago and continue to upskill myself through courses and by considering the latest research. My treatment philosophy is a combination of hands-on and exercise-based approaches. I believe in providing you with the tools to be able to self-manage as much as possible, streamlining your recovery and allowing you to return to what is most meaningful to you. View details »
I have been a private practice physiotherapist for 12 years.
I have a special interest in the manual therapy side of physio but also enjoy prescribing patients with exercises that will help them at home. I have a special interest in golf, swimming and running related injuries.
My general philosophy for Physiotherapy is that I am not healing you but I can help facilitate the natural healing process. I use a lot of hands on treatment to provide relief but also give advice on how to make things as efficient as possible.
