ABOUT PATRICK

I joined the Lifestyle Physio team in 2021 after graduating from Otago University. I’m originally from Tokoroa but am living in Hamilton.

I am a keen sportsperson and have been involved with Rugby, sevens, touch, rowing, tennis, athletics, swimming and more, I enjoy playing any sport. I am still currently playing rugby and this has fortunately, or unfortunately, given me a firsthand perspective on injuries. And now since working as a physio, given me perspective as both a patient and a clinician so I have a decent grasp of both sides.
Through sport I have gained experience and interest in the musculoskeletal side of physio particularly in sports-related injuries. I enjoy providing education, manual therapy and coming up with an individual programme to suit different needs so the patient is able to be self-sufficient at managing their injury long after coming to the clinic.
