Ruth Stirling

Biography

 Brand new to New Zealand, I grew up in a little town in Northern Ireland by the sea, the youngest of five children (typical Irish family) sports featured heavily growing up, starting with sports acrobatics at the age of four and hockey at the age of 7 through to finishing university. Throughout school any sport I could get involved in I did, which inevitably lead to a few (a lot) of injuries and subsequently my interest in physiotherapy. For university I jumped the pond to Newcastle upon Tyne on the mainland, taking advantage of the new surroundings and night life. Once I graduated I started working in the local NHS trust, specialising in MSK physiotherapy , working part time with various sports times, including the lower limb rehab for the youth team for Sunderland FC at the famous stadium of light.
