Meet Diana Chen, Christchurch Physiotherapist

My name is Diana, founder and lead physiotherapist of Halo Health Physio. I graduated from the University of Otago in 2016 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, and since then I've been committed to helping people move better, recover confidently, and get back to doing what they love. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, returning to sport, or seeking pelvic health support, my goal is to create an individualised treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.

Continued learning has always been a priority for me. I'm one of only a small number of physiotherapists in New Zealand certified in Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), allowing me to assess complex movement patterns and identify the true source of pain or dysfunction. I also hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Acupuncture and have completed further training in women's pelvic health, enabling me to provide evidence-based care across a broad range of musculoskeletal and pelvic health conditions.

Sport has been a significant part of my career. I've had the privilege of working with athletes from recreational to elite levels, including serving as lead physiotherapist for the New Zealand Men's Volleyball team. I've also worked alongside athletes competing in badminton, ice hockey, football, netball, professional arm wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, giving me a strong understanding of the physical demands of different sports and the importance of returning to performance safely.

As a fluent Mandarin speaker, I'm proud to offer physiotherapy consultations in both English and Mandarin, helping ensure patients can communicate comfortably and confidently throughout their rehabilitation.
