Our Team

Jodi graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (with distinction) from Otago University in 2014.  Her passion for continual learning has resulted in her attaining the NZMPA accredited certificate of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, a Postgraduate certificate in acupuncture, a Postgraduate diploma in Health Science and a Masters of Health Practice, all with distinction.   

Jodi has proudly worked with rugby, football, and ice hockey teams for the past 14 years, her love for sport extending from her own achievements with the NZ under 17 Football Ferns and a college football scholarship resulting in two years playing abroad in New York. She was recently honored to be the reserve physiotherapist for the world university games.  She has a special interest in enhancing muscular performance and identifying movement patterns holding athletes back from reaching their potential. Although her boots have since been hung up, she still enjoys maintaining a healthy lifestyle through social sport, CrossFit, and running after her young children. 

An avid Hurricanes supporter, Jodi is committed to never converting to Canterbury after moving to Christchurch with her husband in 2019 to run the South Island branch of Performance Plus Physio. 

Diana graduated from Otago University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. Her drive to help others attain and maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle through identification and correction of faulty movement patterns prompted her to become one of only a handful of New Zealand physiotherapists to be selective functional movement assessment certified. Diana is proactive in staying up to date in the ever-changing medical world, advancing on her dry needling qualifications by completing a Postgraduate certificate in acupuncture in 2020, as well as recently completing her certificate in pelvic women’s health.

Diana is passionate about working with athletes from all different sporting codes and has enjoyed being the lead sports physiotherapist for a variety of teams; most recently working alongside the NZ Men’s and Women’s volleyball team. She has had a wide range of sporting exposure working with ice hockey, netball, football, and Brazilian Jiujitsu athletes. In addition, Diana speaks fluent Mandarin, removing any communication barriers for Chinese patients requiring physiotherapy consultations.

Diana enjoys her own bouldering, Jiu Jitsu, and fitnss training, singing Karaoke and spending time with her husband, 2 beautiful daughters, and dog Bailey. She is a proud Cantabrian and avid Crusader’s supporter.

Sophie graduated from the University of Otago in 2019. Originally from Dunedin, Sophie moved up to Christchurch to finish her studies, saying she would only be here a year, Sophie fell in love with the city and has called Christchurch her second home ever since.

Sophie is passionate about working together with athletes to help them achieve their rehabilitation goals, improve their performance and address the causative factors to injury. As a previous New Zealand representative in Rhythmic Gymnastics, Sophie’s work interests include working with young female athletes and ankle injuries. Sophie has undertaken training in Dry Needling and believes in the use of a combination of hands on treatment and exercise prescription to help people get back to their best.

Outside of work, you will find Sophie getting out an exploring Christchurch’s beautiful scenery with friends, baking, and continuing her quest to find the best cup of coffee and cheese scone in Christchurch.

Matthew is our office manager but mostly works as a superstar Osteopath. After completing a diploma in Sport and Exercise Science in 2012 he worked as a personal trainer before progressing through to strength and conditioning for rowing teams to an Olympic weightlifting coach.  Matthew subsequently completed a certificate in therapeutic massage in 2019 through the Wellington School of Massage Therapy. Working as a massage therapist inspired him to want to help people even more and so he graduated with his Osteopath Degree and Post Graduate Diploma in 2023.

Matthew is excited to start working out of the 351 Lincoln Road clinic in the near future!

Outside of work, Matthew loves to stay active through functional fitness training and spend time with his wife Jodi and two young children.
