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. 

I am originally from Central Otago, and graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy before beginning my career in private musculoskeletal physiotherapy.

With experience working with Otago NPC Development Rugby, I particularly enjoy working with rugby players, while always having a soft spot for dancers and gymnasts due to my background in artistic gymnastics.

I am passionate about helping people get back to doing what they love, or helping them discover a new interest in physical activity, whether that’s returning to sport, getting back to training, or simply feeling better in everyday life. I have a particular interest in how the body moves and enjoy looking beyond where someone feels pain to understand the underlying factors contributing to their symptoms to achieve their goals.

Outside of physio, you’ll usually find me running, in the gym, or with an iced latte at the beach.
