JF Physio was founded by Matthew Yee. Having founded the dance community Jam Fam, he had a strong passion to make physiotherapy and acupuncture services more accessible to the community by starting his own clinic and combining his love for patient care and dance together.
Matt's story
Back in 2005, Matthew suffered a severe back injury from an accident which led him to experience his first physiotherapy treatment. The treatment allowed him to go from being in extreme pain and hardly able to walk – to a full recovery. That incident motivated and inspired him to become a physiotherapist. His passion is to help people recover from injuries in the way he did.
Dance Physio
Matthew doesn’t just treat dancers; he is deeply embedded in the Auckland dance scene. As an active dancer, instructor, and choreographer working with groups in Kinetic Studio, he has extensive experience treating all styles of dance -from classical ballet and contemporary to studio choreography and K-pop. Because he understands the specific physical demands and biomechanics behind every movement, he provides targeted rehabilitation and movement analysis. Whether dancers are preparing for a major video project, gearing up for a showcase, or recovering from a rehearsal injury, Matthew’s goal is to get them back to the studio safely and performing at their peak.
Community
As the founder of a dance community in Auckland ( Jam Fam NZ ) and a former competitive dancer, Matt gained valuable experience as a physiotherapist by treating many individuals from the dance communities including: Jam Fam, Prestige, Crave NZ, AUDA, MDC and The Spreading Tree Studio throughout his career.
