Physiotherapist Pieta Valentine is from a medical family and trained in Otago, New Zealand before travelling across Asia and Europe then working in London and Canada before setting up her first physio practice in Sydney, Australia.
Settling back in Christchurch in the early 1990s, she witnessed the thousands struck with painful OOS/RSI conditions from the stress of computers introduced into government departments.
Because of this, she set up clinic and company self-management programmes all around the city.
Physiotherapists are problem solvers, enabling patients to self manage through effort and hard work. This ethos Pieta has applied to all her work endeavours.
