Who we are

We are a dynamic and experienced team of physiotherapy professionals, leaders in the field of physiotherapy as well as competitive athletes. We use our strengths across our different areas of expertise to improve client outcomes. We believe in a continuum of care from early management to complete rehabilitation and return to function.

We are one of the largest providers of private physiotherapy in the South Island. With multiple branches throughout Canterbury, we operate in community clinics within or near medical centres or in large modern gyms used for exercise and rehabilitation.

Founded by Marie and Graeme Nuttridge, pioneers in the field of physiotherapy, Physiosouth was established as a client-centric community clinic. Today Physiosouth is managed by a team of experienced clinicians who uphold this core value and strive towards providing expert service, cutting-edge treatment and rehabilitation methods through professional development and an evidence-based approach.

Who we are

Our Physiotherapists

Our team is handpicked for their excellent technical knowledge, their kind and empathetic nature, and their ability to work with you in planning and supporting you to realise your activity goals. We have regular interdisciplinary clinical meetings and professional development pathways to ensure they maintain and develop their competence and professional skills in line with continually evolving best practice guidelines.

Our Senior Physiotherapists have at least five years of experience in a variety of clinical settings, further enhancing their skills, knowledge, and expertise. They also may have a post-graduate qualification, recognising areas of specific interest to provide support and guidance in facilitating recovery from injuries.

Our Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACP) have at least ten years of experience, earned a Master’s degree, and demonstrate advanced clinical assessment, diagnostic, and recovery management planning skills. They all contribute to the profession through mentoring and developing leadership skills.
