About ACE Physio

My interest in sports began early, playing tennis and golf, which sparked my passion for physical activity. This led me to pursue a career in physiotherapy, where I can combine my love for sports with a commitment to helping others recover, improve, and reach their full potential.

​

I received a Bachelor of Science with First class honours in Physiotherapy from the University of East Anglia, UK, in 2015 and specialised in musculoskeletal physiotherapy in 2016. Alongside my everyday clinical work, I also worked for Norwich City Football Club in their physiotherapy department. This involved the acute management of sporting injuries, progression of players’ exercise programmes and taking players through high end rehabilitation.

​

I moved to Christchurch in 2017, gaining experience in sports rehabilitation at a private practice. Most recently, I worked as a Physiotherapist and Clinical Educator at the University of Otago, supervising 4th-year physiotherapy students on musculoskeletal placements. In 2022, I earned a Post Graduate Certificate in Sports Physiotherapy from the University of Otago.

​

I am the onsite physiotherapist at Wilding Park, the home of Canterbury tennis. As well as the physiotherapist at the Junior ITF (Under 18) international tennis tournaments which are held in Christchurch each year.

​

I played junior elite-level tennis in the UK and now compete at the premier interclub level for both Cashmere Tennis Club and Christchurch Golf Club, in addition to participating in regional and national golf events across New Zealand.
