Budi is a musculoskeletal physiotherapist with a special interest in diagnostics. Budi came from the sunny country of Indonesia and has lived in multiple countries which gave him the opportunity to be fluent in English, Malay and Indonesian but he has now lived in New Zealand for over a decade.

His journey until this point has been relatively unusual for most health professionals as his initial education and training were aimed for engineering students which developed his analytical and problem solving skills but continued onto Biomedical Sciences. Whilst he was invested in biomedical knowledge, he ultimately decided that he enjoyed helping people directly rather than through research and lab work which drove him into Physiotherapy.

 

Beyond his initial training and qualifications, he has completed various post-graduate courses and training both in diagnostics and treatment. His training puts him in a unique position to utilise various diagnostic tools yet understand each of their limitations providing a more accurate diagnosis allowing for more efficient physiotherapy management.
