Hi, I’m Jack Roberts

“I grew up in the UK as a lover of all sports, including football, rugby, tennis, golf, basketball & athletics. Being so keen into sport, I was often receiving Physiotherapy for various injuries which gave me an insight into the role of a physio at a young age.

Since graduating as a Sports Therapist in 2016, I have had the opportunity to work in elite level football with AFC Bournemouth Academy and Plymouth Argyle first team, as well as gaining a vast range of experience working in public health settings as part of a hospital-based Trauma & Orthopaedic therapy team as a Physiotherapy assistant for several years.

I graduated as a Physiotherapist in 2022 and have gained further experience in the UK’s NHS/public health system, which has further developed and broadened my skills as a physiotherapist including experience working with people with Respiratory, Neurological and Musculoskeletal conditions.

I moved to New Zealand, and enjoyed travelling your beautiful country in my camper van prior to starting with the very welcoming team in You First Physio. “
