Steve Smith
Physiotherapist

About

Steve is our musculoskeletal team leader.

Steve graduated with a degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Otago in in 2009. He has been working in private practice in New Zealand ever since, amassing a broad range of experience in injuries to all parts of the body. He has worked in high performance sport settings across different codes from ball sports to ultra endurance events to manage injuries and improve performance. Steve also enjoys the reward of helping those at different stages of life and understands the importance of staying able as we get older, and believes that age is not a reason to be in pain or stop doing things we enjoy.
Steve has a post graduate diploma specialising in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and has an advanced understanding of diagnostics and treatment injuries.

Clinically, he enjoys working with patients to unravel their injuries, get an accurate diagnosis and work through a treatment plan. He loves to continue to expand his skills and experience, and is excited to pass this on to the rest of the team at Active Plus Taranaki.

Outside work, Steve spends time in the outdoors, plays ultimate frisbee and exercises his mind and body with orienteering and adventure racing. He has a young family and loves being a dad.
