PHYSIOTHERAPIST

After growing up in sunny Gisborne, David made the move south to complete a Bachelor of Physiotherapy through the University of Otago. His passion for providing high quality Physiotherapy services not only stems from his own experiences with previous sporting injuries, but also the desire to help people return to their baseline level of function, and often beyond this. His drive to achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients has seen him undergo a post-graduate qualification in orthopaedic Manual Therapy.

David has a wealth of experience in private practise, sporting and vocational environments within NZ, but also overseas in Bristol, England. While in the UK, he was the lead Physiotherapist in a high-performance sports role for Bristol University Rugby. Prior to this, David had worked for various rugby clubs within Christchurch. He is also an Occupational Physiotherapist, experienced in providing worksite assessment and return to work planning services. 

When he is not working, you will probably find him enjoying the array of golf courses the Christchurch has to offer. He also likes to keep active by running, surfing and going to the gym.

Campbell was fortunate enough to grow up in the sunny Bay of Plenty which meant a lot of my childhood was spent outside playing sport. Unfortunately, all this activity also came with its fair share of injuries which meant plenty of trips to the physio over the years. Working closely alongside the Physiotherapist during the rehabilitation process gave me a real appreciation for the profession. Funnily enough, I think most physio’s seem to have come into this career through a similar path!

I’ve worked in a mix of Private Practice and professional sport over the last couple of years, specifically with the Canterbury Kings and NZ Under 19’s Cricket team. This has given me a wealth of experience in treating both common everyday conditions we see in the general population as well as injuries experienced by high performance athletes.

I believe in working closely alongside my patient to help formulate a rehab plan that aligns with their lifestyle, while keeping the patient’s goals at the forefront of all decision-making. After all, the best feeling as a Physio is helping people get back to doing what they love!
