Arianna Wood | South Island Physiotherapy

Hi there! My name is Arianna, and I am one of the physiotherapists here at South Island Physio.

I have experienced injuries and pain over the years myself, so I understand how discouraging it can be when we feel limited to participate in activities that bring us joy. My role is to show up curious, work with you to identify your goals, and guide you along the way. Your role is to show up and be willing to put in some work, and together we’ll make a plan to bring your body back to its confident, capable and thriving self.

Physiotherapists are teachers as much as we are healers and I aim to not only help you feel better but empower you with knowledge to move through your injury and get you back to an active lifestyle. Whether that is lifting your grandchildren or setting a personal best in your sport; it’s these moments of success that I’m interested in.

My journey in this role started with completing my Bachelor of Kinesiology here in Victoria. I then decided to combine my interest in movement and the body with my love of travel, and moved to Ireland where I completed my Masters of Physiotherapy with honours distinction.

When I’m not working, you can find me moving in various ways. I love hiking, weight lifting, doing yoga and walking for hours exploring new places and finding amazing food around the world. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me and I look forward to getting to know more about you as we get you back to thoughtless, fearless movement!

She took the time to listen to my issues and asked the appropriate questions to help her understand how she could best be of help to my needs. Emily physically showed me what exercises to work on to help me with my injury . I felt like I had known Emily for a long time.
She was very thorough and a great listener. I would highly recommend Emily .

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Emily Ervine! I saw her for an arm issue related to golf and had a great experience. She did a very thorough assessment, used IMS/dry needling, and gave me specific exercises tailored to my situation. I noticed a significant improvement right away.

Emily is an excellent communicator and her golf/sports background was a huge plus — she immediately understood how my injury related to my swing and what I was trying to get back to. The whole treatment plan felt very personalized and practical. One of the best physio experiences I’ve had.
