After graduating with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (distinction) from the University of Otago in 2005, Aroha has worked in musculoskeletal physiotherapy both here and in Melbourne. She offers a range of hands on manual therapy techniques, which she incorporates with clear patient education and exercise prescription (including Pilates) to empower patients in getting back to activities they love.

Having also worked in chronic pain and neuro-rehabilitation settings, she appreciates the importance of a holistic approach. She joined our team in January 2022.

Outside of physiotherapy, Aroha enjoys spending time with her partner and two children, being outdoors including mountain biking and gardening, and thinks hard about treading lightly on the earth.
