Physiotherapy is my passion, I want to help people achieve their goals, whether that is reducing pain or returning to sport. While studying Physiotherapy at the University of Otago I worked as a support worker, this experience instilled a greater respect for the Otago community and help me focus on patient outcomes. Physiotherapy is an expanding profession, I love to learn, adapt, and provide the best treatment I can for each individual. Due to my own previous injuries, I enjoy making and progressing rehabilitation for knees and shoulders, but I am interested in any presentation. I am a big fan of wide range of sport from Tennis to Basketball and strive to get people returning to active movement in life or in sport. View details »
