Craig McColl
Craig graduated in 2005 and has been working in private practice since and also dabbled in a bit professional rugby. Craig left Southland in 2009 to physio for the Wellington Lions Provincial team, then the Highlanders Super Rugby team and returned home in 2012 to support his local club rugby team – Pirates Old Boys. He has provided his skills to 263 premier games for his beloved club and hung up his boots after 18 seasons of club rugby in 2025.
Craig holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Sports Medicine, Post Graduate Certificates in both Acupuncture and Hand and Upper Limb Rehabilitation. Craig is also a HTNZ registered Hand Therapist and has a keen interest in elbow and hand injuries.
Married to Carole, Craig has 3 daughters all on their own career paths, with his youngest Emma who graduated from the School of Physiotherapy in 2024.
When he’s not helping others achieve their goals, Craig can be found hitting a small white dimpled ball around our local Southland golf courses.
