Samuel Pham – Physiotherapist

My name is Samuel Pham and have recently graduated this year 2018 from AUT university. I have interests in paediatric care and musculoskeletal injuries and rehab. I have had 2 rugby seasons doing sideline injury management with Waitemata Rugby club dealing with under 21’s through to the premier team. I enjoy dealing with all ages and find being a physiotherapist rewarding when getting patients to reach their goals and getting them back to what they enjoy doing. I take a real interest in getting to know patients and like to have a sense of humour to keep things interesting. I enjoy meeting new patients and do my best job in taking care of them and their injuries by work together in self-management to take control of their own condition.

Interests outside of physiotherapy: I enjoy running, Cuban salsa dancing and going to the gym to keep fit. I have a passion for music, food and have a beautiful daughter who is 5 going on 20.
