Ella Smith
Physiotherapist

About

Ella graduated from Auckland University of Technology (AUT) with a Bachelor of Health Science (Physiotherapy) in 2024. During her studies, she gained valuable experience through student placements in both public and community healthcare settings, seeing a wide variety of patients. She has continued to build her clinical skills since graduating, completing a dry needling course to further enhance her treatment skills.

Her interest in physiotherapy stems from her personal experiences of overcoming sports-related injuries. These experiences, alongside time spent in a hospital environment, highlighted the diverse areas physiotherapists can work in.

In addition to physiotherapy, Ella is a figure skating coach. Over the years she has worked with students of all ages and skill levels, helping them build confidence, develop technical skills, and achieve their personal goals. Outside of her profession, Ella stays active through figure skating and rock climbing, and enjoys spending quality time with friends and family and unwinding with a good book.

Ella is enthusiastic about helping others regain their function, improve their quality of life, and achieve their personal goals. She has a particular passion for supporting athletes and physically active patients, helping them return to sport, prevent injuries, and perform at their best. She looks forward to working with you!
