Physiotherapist

TAURANGA – Girven 

MSc.(Phty) Post Grad Cert Sp & Ex Sci. Strength & Conditioning Coach

I have 30 years experience as a physiotherapist, and 18 years practising acupuncture. After qualifying I undertook a post graduate diploma in Manipulative Physiotherapy before completing my Masters Degree. I also became a Physio Registered Acupuncturist and have since taught on their post graduate program. Over the last 20 years I have had a strong sports interest. This has led me to work with international football teams from two countries, as well as being a physiotherapist for a number of New Zealand teams both locally and overseas. My sports work led me to develop an interest in Sports Science. I recently gained my Level 1 Australian Strength & Conditioning qualification, which complements previous post graduate training in Sports Biomechanics and Physical Conditioning. Using my knowledge from physio and sports science, niggly and repetitive problems can be understood and helped. My motto “Prevention to Performance” encompasses my strengths – injury prevention, rehabilitation and exercise prescription/conditioning, and you don’t need to be an elite athlete to benefit from my knowledge.
