Felipe Valdebenito

Prekure Certified Health Coach

Physiotherapist, Massage Therapist, Prekure Health Coach, Strength Trainer

Felipe graduated as a Physiotherapist in 2014 from Universidad de la Frontera in the south of Chile. He has worked across a range of rehabilitation settings and brings nearly five years of experience as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist in private practice before moving to New Zealand.

In Chile, Felipe treated a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, supporting people with work-related injuries, desk-based postural concerns, and physically demanding roles. He also worked extensively with sports-related injuries, particularly in football and basketball. Alongside this, he prescribed exercise programmes for older adults to improve strength, mobility, and daily function, and completed a Diploma in Geriatric Science, reflecting his strong interest in healthy ageing and long-term independence.

Since relocating to New Zealand, Felipe has gained five years of experience as a remedial Massage Therapist, specialising in deep tissue, remedial, and sports massage. With a solid foundation in anatomy and biomechanics, he has a deep understanding of musculoskeletal injuries and the body’s needs, allowing him to integrate hands-on treatment with effective movement-based care.

Felipe is also qualified as a Health Coach through Prekure, strengthening his ability to support behaviour change and guide clients toward sustainable improvements in overall wellbeing. He offers 1:1 Strength Training for individuals looking to improve their total body condition with minimal barriers, using readily available and affordable equipment only where necessary.

Felipe is known for his hands-on, practical approach, combining manual therapy with clear, tailored exercise guidance that aligns with each person’s goals and lifestyle. His non-judgmental and positive outlook helps clients feel at ease and supported throughout their care.

Outside of work, Felipe enjoys an active lifestyle, including strength training, running, hiking, and CrossFit. His passion for movement, continuous learning, and holistic care makes him a valuable member of the arc Team.
