- Minimum 3+ years post-registration experience in NZ
- Strong MSK / sports capability
- Confident prescribing + coaching strength as treatment
- New graduates
- Overseas-trained physios requiring supervision or transition pathways
- Clinicians seeking cubicle-based, passive-only workflows
About Pure Performance
Your body should be trained for life, not just treated for pain.
Pure Performance is a performance-driven training facility in Wanaka integrating Foundation Training, Functional Strength, Senior Performance, and physiotherapy within one ecosystem. Clients come to move better, build capacity, and stay resilient.
The Role
You will deliver physiotherapy embedded within the gym environment, collaborating with coaches and guiding clients from pain → capacity → performance using movement quality and strength as clinical tools.
If your ideal day is closed-room sessions with minimal loading, this will not be the right fit.
How Physiotherapy Fits Our Service Pillars
Physiotherapy supports and integrates with the way we coach people to move, train, and live.
Spinal health + movement fundamentals
Restore stability, control, and confidence so clients can train safely and consistently.
Strength that supports real life
Rehab progresses into resilience for sport, work demands, and everyday capability.
Age strong. Move freely.
Maintain posture, balance, bone health, and confidence so people stay independent and active.
