KEVIN
Physiotherapist
- Masters in Physiotherapy

There are times when Kevin does things like live and travel in a van for 12 months, while exploring the UK with his wife during a belated gap year. The rest of the time, Kevin is either hitting the mountain bike trails, playing video games with his mates, or enjoying good food and coffee.
‘Back by popular demand’, Kevin returned to the Active Recovery team after originally joining as a fresh-faced new graduate. While he was away, he was set on revolutionising the hospital physiotherapy world. But he couldn’t resist his passion of helping people with pain to change their lives. And he’s never looked back.

KIM

SHANE
RECEPTIONIST
- Semi Professional Gamer
- Food Lover
Shane has been a dedicated attendee of physiotherapy sessions at Active Recovery for the past seven years, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to overcoming the challenges life has thrown his way. With a resilient mentality, he has triumphed over numerous obstacles.
Recognising Shane’s potential, Active Recovery has provided him with an opportunity to work as an Admin Assistant, allowing him to familiarise himself with a task-oriented role. Although Shane is still relatively new to the work environment and tends to be shy, his contribution to our Practice Manager, Kim, has been invaluable.
Aside from his professional journey, Shane possesses a passion for food, to the extent that if given a superpower, he wishes to be able to indulge in as much food as he desires without the consequences of weight gain.
