About

The Physio Studio Ashburton is run by Melissa, who was born and raised on a dairy farm in the mighty Manawatu. After graduating first in class from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (First Class Honours) in 2016, Melissa moved to Hamilton to start her career. 

Having treated a wide range of different injuries, Melissa has enjoyed working with the many different clients that have walked through her doors over years. This includes top age group triathletes, recreational to ultra-marathon runners, CrossFit and boxing athletes, the elderly, hobby enthusiasts, and many who experience aches and pains from every day or work-related activities.

Coming from a sporting background, Melissa utilises the knowledge she has gained over the years from her experiences to help deliver quality and personalised treatment. Melissa likes to stay active and if she's not swimming, biking or running, Melissa will be off tramping, adventuring or boating out on the lake.

Having recently moved The Physio Studio down from the North Island, Melissa is excited for a new adventure in the south!
