MEET THE TEAM

Our collective of expert health professionals are passionate about helping people to get well and stay well

OUR TEAM

Auckland Physiotherapy takes a holistic approach to getting you better. Our physiotherapists are complemented by The Health Collective, offering Massage Therapy, Clinical Pilates, Podiatry, Health Coaching, Running Coaching, and Personal Training — all under one roof in the Foundation Precinct, nestled between Newmarket, Parnell, and Remuera. Our purpose-built facility includes a fully equipped gym, two boutique Pilates studios, and modern objective testing equipment — so we can get you back to what you love, faster.

The right level of expertise matters. A more experienced clinician can often diagnose and treat you more accurately in fewer sessions — saving you time and money. We've structured our team into four tiers so you're always matched to the practitioner best suited to your condition and budget. If you're not progressing as expected at any level, we escalate internally at no extra charge — and if specialist input is needed, we'll facilitate that referral rather than leaving you to start over elsewhere.

Not sure where to start? Call us on 09 366 4480 or book a free consultation and we'll guide you to the right fit. Learn more about how we work via The Collective Method.

Physiotherapist
Sprains, strains & acute sports injuries

Ideal for first-time injuries — sprains, strains, and acute sports injuries. Our physiotherapists will assess and treat you in the same session, and most patients recover straightforwardly at this level. If your recovery isn't progressing as expected, a senior clinician reviews your case at no extra charge, so you're never left wondering why things aren't improving.

Complex & ongoing issues that haven't resolved

For recurring injuries or persistent pain that hasn't improved despite previous treatment, our Masters-qualified physiotherapists are the experts to see. With a minimum of 13 years' experience and a Master's degree in Physiotherapy, they bring exceptional depth of knowledge to the most challenging cases — and frequently achieve results where earlier treatment has stalled.
