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.

We are an ACC-registered and Southern Cross Easy Claim provider, also working with Careway, private patients, and other insurers. Self-referrals are welcome, no doctor's referral is required, and ACC claims can be lodged directly for eligible injuries.
Physio-led Pilates is evidence-informed and highly effective for rehabilitation, pain management, injury prevention, and performance in both sport and daily life. It can be included as part of your physio rehab or enjoyed in small group classes.
Massage with Tanya is designed to help you recover, improve mobility, and keep performing at your best. With her extensive physiotherapy expertise, treatments may also include assessment, remedial advice, joint mobilisation, stretching, dry needling, or Pilates if needed. If you're simply after a passive massage, this may not be the right service — but if you want expert physio hands with real impact, you'll be in good care.
