Since joining us over a year ago, Olivia, a Physiotherapist from New Zealand has been recognised as our Locum of the Month this June for her exceptional hard work and dedication to her profession.

During her placements in London, Olivia has thoroughly embraced the city lifestyle in her spare time whilst maintaining a ‘work hard, play hard’ ethos as we have received glowing feedback from her placements.

Her Consultant Luke here at JustPhysio added, ‘It has been a great pleasure to work with Olivia. She is always a consistent hard worker.’

We thought we would ask a few questions to get to know more about Olivia…
