About ACE Physio

My passion for sports began early, growing up playing tennis and golf. This love for physical activity naturally led me to a career in physiotherapy - combining my interest in movement and performance with a deep commitment to helping others recover, improve, and reach their full potential.

​

I graduated with a First Class Honours Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy from the University of East Anglia, UK, in 2015, and went on to specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy in 2016. Alongside my clinical practice, I gained valuable experience working in the physiotherapy department at Norwich City Football Club. There, I was involved in the acute management of sports injuries, the progression of tailored exercise programmes, and guiding players through high-level 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.
