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.
