BHSc Physiotherapy (1998). PGDip Sports Medicine (2012) World Rugby Medical Educator

Offering Physiotherapy care that is experienced, with over 25 years in Clinical, Occupational and Sports Physiotherapy. I'm a physio geek and use evidence-informed physiotherapy assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, injury prevention and education. I get great results, working with you to overcome your injury concerns. Because of my focus on education and upskilling patients to be self-reliant, fewer appointments are required to get you feeling better and progressing towards recovery and preventing future episodes. Injuries and painful conditions have multiple factors affecting them, including musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, metabolic, and psychological. Physiotherapy is most effective when advice, management of aggravating factors, individually specific care, and appropriate exercise prescription take all of these factors into account. I'm told by my patients that I;m kind, empathetic, and caring, a great communicator, educator, motivator, and stick-figure artist. I really enjoy working with you to help you recover from your injury.

I use manual therapy for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including massage and joint mobilisation techniques. Many conditions show symptom improvement with manual therapy, especially when combined with active rehabilitation. Individual and sport or lifestyle-specific rehabilitation, strengthening, and conditioning programmes are provided. Other treatments may include Dry Needling, Respiratory Physiotherapy, and Pilates. With my background in sports and musculoskeletal injuries from grassroots to Olympics, I have insight and experience to help you reach your goals across many sports. Physios are primary care practitioners in Aotearoa, New Zealand. You can self-refer for Private, ACC, or Insurer appointments. The clinic offers thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis and prognosis, interdisciplinary collaboration, evidence-informed care, claim lodgement, and quick referrals to specialist colleagues when indicated. The clinic is central, in a beautiful historic Parnell villa with views of the Hauraki Gulf from a private, peaceful, light-filled, airy room.
