times available in some clinics.
It's quality and attention to detail that gets you the best results.

Our rooms are private, quiet, and spacious with a boutique quality that's second to none.
All appointments involve a combination of manual and movement therapy techniques, or dry needling if necessary.

Our small but highly qualified team has over 27 years of physiotherapy experience. We have an elite and varied clientele - from top sports people to nuns, TV personalities to truck drivers. We have a referal network with some of Auckland's top health specialists. If required, we will involve these specialists in your care.
