Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist – Full Time

With continued growth across the Canterbury region, Active Health is looking for an experienced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist (minimum 3 years) to join our team during an exciting phase of expansion.

This is a role for someone who wants more than just a treatment room — it’s an opportunity to work within high-performance, genuinely multidisciplinary environments, alongside leading clinicians, and to grow your career in a forward-thinking organisation.

Active Health operates across three distinct and complementary Christchurch sites, offering variety, opportunity, and clinical exposure:

• Parakiore Sports & Recreation Centre (new flagship site)
  A major new development bringing together Sports Physicians, Podiatrists, Respiratory Physiotherapist, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Massage Therapists, Pelvic Health Physiotherapists, Cancer Rehab Physiotherapists  under one roof. A true hub for high-quality, collaborative care.
• New Brighton Clinic
  Integrated within a large multi-disciplinary General Practice team, providing strong referral pathways and holistic patient care.
• St Albans Clinic
  Our large established site, connected to a gym, servicing an active community and long-standing patient base.

This role suits a physiotherapist who enjoys variety, teamwork, and clinical excellence, and who wants to be part of something that is actively evolving.
