Customer Feedback I have been using the Physiotherapy services at HealthZone since 2003. I have always found the standard of treatment and advice to be of an extremely high level. I believe that the professionals working at HealthZone Physio are World class and they are a great asset to NZ athletes.- Tom Ashley (Olympic Gold Medalist Boardsailor) View our Team Members Profile Pages  I have been lucky enough to have had physiotherapy treatment from David since 2005. From my very first appointment I was blown away by the amount of time he spent investigating my individual injury needs. Appointments were never rushed, and always extremely thorough; and I have always felt that getting on top of my injury in the quickest time possible was his number one priority.Over the past five years, not only has David been able to sort out every single one of my injuries but he has also contributed greatly to enhancing my over all paddling ability. His years of experience are evident in his skill at injury diagnosis and helping me to improve underlying imbalances to prevent further injury. I have 100 per cent confidence in his ability and know that any injury, no matter how obscure, David will get to the bottom of it and he will always get me on the fast track to recovery! After five years in and out of the HealthZone complex I have got to know the extended HealthZone team pretty well. There is always a positive vibe and the receptionists are friendly and willing to help point you in the right direction. A real benefit to me of HealthZone is the number of top medical practitioners working under the same roof, which makes it easy to access a broad range of expertise within the one complex. While I prefer to spend as little time as possible sorting out injuries, David and the HealthZone team make being injured a much less painful process! - Erin Taylor (Olympic Kayaking) When I first met Tim I was in a wheelchair following complications from surgery.I was only able to walk very short distances with the help of crutches and with considerable discomfort. Six months later, I am now able to walk short distances unaided with minimal discomfort and have started to take control of my life again. Tim deserves a lot of credit for my continuing recovery. I have had intensive physiotherapy from him to aid strengthening and stretching and also acupuncture for pain relief.Throughout this time Tim has always been very approachable, caring, positive, honest, encouraging and professional with a good sense of humour. I am still having ongoing treatment from him and would happily endorse him to anyone needing physiotherapy. - Trish Barnsley View Tim's Profile Page My first ever experience of physiotherapy happened twelve years ago when, on a friend’s recommendation, I found my way in a pretty miserable state following spinal surgery, to David Abercrombie. There, I quickly found a thoroughly professional therapist who quickly gave me the confidence to know that someone understood exactly what my problem was, and that considerable improvement was attainable. I gained much security in the knowledge that I had a mentor whose word I totally trusted. This was again put to the test six years ago after a knee joint replacement. I moved with David to HealthZone in the Millenium complex and have found the same degree of professionalism, warmth and mentoring in the other physios practising alongside David. With their ongoing help, I now do five dance classes a week, two sessions of Pilates, walk regularly, and have been able to return to tennis. All this at 73 years of age! The friendly staff behind the counter give the waiting area a nice welcoming atmosphere – a pleasure to be there, and the waits are never very long. I highly, and unreservedly recommend HealthZone Physiotherapy at the Millennium Institute of Sport and Health. Very Sincerely - Sally R. Tetro Takapuna I was originally referred to James by my coach and training partner who had spoken highly of his skills as a physio. I experienced first hand James ability to repair the injuries that were incurred by my training. James was prepared to investigate the causes of my injuries which meant the injuries had little chance of reoccurring. Not only were my injuries gone but James wanted to enhance my abilities as an athlete. Each appointment I feel as though I leave with a sense of security because I trust James is a capable physiotherapist. - Lisa Carrington View James' Profile Page I was fortunate enough to hop on Tania’s massage table 3 years ago for a pre race massage at Ironman New Zealand and knew instantly in that moment that I had struck gold! Since that initial meeting a weekly massage session with Tania is a firm fixture in my schedule as an Ironman athlete and I view it as a critical component of my demanding training regime. Working with Tania on a weekly basis helps to maintain and improve my power and performance, maximises my recovery time and minimises my risk of injury. Tania’s holistic client focused approach means that she takes the time to understand the demands of my sport, training load and race schedule in order to optimise the benefits of each session. Tania is exceptionally talented and I would recommend her without hesitation to any athlete looking to improve their performance both in training and on race day! - Laura-Clare Whelan View Tania's Profile Page |
