09 273 3051Shaun is a physiotherapist in East Auckland with a strong focus on active rehabilitation and restoring meaningful function for his patients. He graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy with Merit from the University of Otago in 2021, and brings a practical, patient-centred approach to his work at Evolve Physiotherapy.
Shaun understands that his patients want to get back to the activities, hobbies and tasks that matter most to them, and he keeps that goal front of mind throughout the rehabilitation process. He uses manual therapy techniques to support recovery and places particular emphasis on active rehabilitation, helping patients build beyond their pre-injury state rather than simply returning to it.
Clinical background
During the final year of his undergraduate training, Shaun gained hospital experience at Midcentral Hospital in Palmerston North, working across the Acute Surgical Ward, Stroke Rehabilitation Unit and Child Development Services. This gave him broad exposure to a wide range of conditions and developed the case management skills that underpin effective clinical practice.
Since joining Evolve Physiotherapy, Shaun has developed a particular interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and back pain management. He believes that addressing the underlying factors contributing to injury, rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, is key to reducing recurrence and supporting long-term health.

Outside the clinic, Shaun enjoys the gym, fishing, watching sport and exploring New Zealand with his mates.
