The Waiheke Physio Service
Looking for Physio in the privacy of your own home?
Or a Waiheke Physio and bespoke Pilates environment?
Our Waiheke Physio service was born from a combination of COVID 19 isolation and the desire to raise our kids the Kiwi way
The Waiheke Physio clinic is our exciting new addition to Balance In Motion Physio, helping us to be one of the only international Physiotherapy Companies on the planet. The clinic offers the knowledge and experience of a Physio with 19 years of helping Wimbledon Tennis Finalists, Olympic Gold Medallists, Professional Rugby Players and Professional athletes in London, Sydney, and now New Zealand.
Our expansion into New Zealand came from our director moving his young family to Waiheke Island and his inability to travel to back into Sydney in the foreseeable future (and his daughters instructions to spend less time in Sydney!) We believe that we are all athletes and our job is to help you reach better heights with your body.
Our Waiheke Physio clinic located in the beautiful Oneroa village. Located in the old vet clinic at 3 Tui Street, Oneroa. The Pilates studio has the latest reformers, wunda chair, trap table and spring board for a varied Pilates experience. The clinic is equipped with a treadmill for digital analysis of running and walking technique, and an infrared sauna.
Our appointments are 60 minutes of ‘one on one’ time to help us truly Solve the problem rather than a rushed 20 minute band aid approach Help you become happier within your body faster with a better understanding of your problem and solutions. Get on and train for whatever your next big physical goal is We are highly unique to New Zealand as the only Connect Therapy Physiotherapy clinic.
This style of Physiotherapy created by Dr LJ of Canada is used by many Sports Physiotherapists and professional sporting organisations around the world including the Manchester City Soccer team who had the lowest number of injuries last year and quickest return to sport from injuries in the Premiership.
The Connect Therapy model looks at your whole body, the systems involved, and your past injuries - rather than just looking at the source of the pain to fully correct your issues and provide a “band aid” solution.”We don’t do old school machines, heat packs or ice packs - just evidence based hands on Physio with the latest research based rehab programs from the US, Canada and Australia. If you would prefer to have your Physiotherapy (or Pilates) session in the privacy of your home then this be arranged by simply clicking booking online OR calling us directly on 0204189 4158 to schedule your time. We look forward to helping you perform better, get back to feeling good in your body again, or get back to doing whatever it is that makes you a fit, happy and healthy person.
About Nick Torrance
Nick Torrance, his wife Carla, two young kids and dog moved to the Island having spent 19 years away living in London and Sydney - where Nick worked closely with his mentor, the world famous, ground breaking Physio Dr Lj Lee.
“10 years ago I was exhausted. I’d been seeing 20 patients a day every 20 mins feeling like I worked in a sweatshop. I had found Connect Therapy (our approach) which looked at the whole body, previous injuries and other body systems.
It just made sense that the body and its systems were so closely linked and it didn’t make sense that a sore shoulder is always a sore shoulder because of a shoulder problem. It made sense that a twisted pelvis from a bike crash, a previous broken ankle, broken hips or a constantly stiff neck could have a powerful relationship on the shoulder.
Treating these rather than repeating the same thing with the shoulder led to far better results. People who had been in pain for years were significantly better after treatment, from taking a more holistic approach.
“I just wanted the time and space to apply this new system of Physio, and do it well.”
To make a real difference in people's lives.
I decided to do things differently and use the Connect Therapy system only, have longer treatment times with my patients to properly figure out someone's body and subsequent injuries. Working with Dr LJ Lee on her many courses allowed me to seek out the most committed and passionate Connect Physiotherapists and to build a team. I opened first in the heart of exercise mad Bondi Beach, and the second location in Sydney's CBD where our Pilates Clinic is also located.
Along the way I looked after Wimbledon finalists, professional rugby players, Australian olympic athletes, professional triathletes and a few interesting politicians. However I believe there is an inner athlete in all of us!
So the dream was always Waiheke...
We had bought a little house in Palm Beach and wanted to raise our kids the way we had been brought up, The kiwi way - running around in bare feet with the most beautiful playground on the planet. Working in Sydney fortnightly and living on Waiheke was going so well, life was great….and then Covid 19 happened.
As the borders shut between NZ and Australia I felt good knowing we were in the safest place on the planet. My kids sat me down and said now you can work here Dad...you don’t need to go back and forth to Australia for work all the time.
So as we are about to open Balance In Motion Physio Waiheke I think how grateful I am to be here.
I look forward to meeting you, sitting down and figuring out a plan to reverse engineer whatever you want to be able to do with your body...whether that’s Get back to running, walking or training harder. Whether that’s just been able to sit or sleep without pain and whether that pain is a 7/10 out of 10 or simply mildly annoying, I’ve got you.
