BHSc Physiotherapy, Post-surgical rehabilitation, ACL and tendinopathy management, Strength training and education

Hamish is an intermediate physiotherapist with a strong focus on patient-centred, evidence-based care. His key clinical interests include post-surgical rehabilitation, tendinopathies, and helping clients build confidence with strength training, particularly those who are new to exercise. He also has extensive experience managing a broad range of shoulder, gym-related, and running injuries. Collaboration and critical thinking are central to his practice, and he takes pride in tailoring treatment plans to each client’s unique goals.

Since completing his Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy at AUT in 2022, Hamish has continued to develop his clinical expertise across a range of musculoskeletal conditions. Prior to becoming a physiotherapist, he worked for eight years as a Massage Therapist, where he developed strong hands-on skills and gained valuable experience working with professional sports teams. His physiotherapy approach combines exercise rehabilitation with the selective use of manual therapy, always guided by current evidence and individual client goals.

Hamish is committed to ongoing professional development, having completed advanced training in shoulder and ACL rehabilitation with internationally recognised experts, as well as observing surgeries to deepen his clinical understanding and enhance his rehabilitation approach.

At Rehab Co, Hamish runs Grey Matters, a strength and balance class for adults aged 60+, and enjoys helping clients grow stronger, more capable, and more confident through exercise.

Outside of work, Hamish enjoys playing guitar and golf. He is currently training for a half-marathon while continuing to lift weights, and values staying active as both a personal passion and a way to deepen his understanding of exercise and performance.
