Purposeful Training with Rhys Norton
Physio • Performance • Health
Clinic hours:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday 7.30am-4pm
Our philosophy of physiotherapy is to look at the entire person, to look at various factors that can be major factors in pain, injury and recovery such as nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress. We use a combination of hands on physiotherapy techniques (such as massage, needling, cupping and manipulation), exercise prescription (strengthening, mobility, fitness etc) and lifestyle management (nutrition, sleep, stress management) to get the absolute best results for our clients, not just for their current injury or pain, but to create a more balanced, durable, healthy human for the future.
We offer both ACC and private appointments. We can load ACC claims (so no need for a GP referral) and if needed, organise referral for x-rays, ultrasound scans or specialist appointments. We offer longer appointments than most physiotherapists, so that we can be thorough in assessment and provide our clients with the best quality care possible.
Rhys graduated from Otago University in 2014 and has over 10 years of experience in various clinics across Wellington and Hawke’s Bay before recently moving to Waiheke. He completed a Masters degree at AUT in 2021, where he developed skills and knowledge to combine physiotherapy and strength and conditioning principles. He is also trained in Dry Needling, cupping and breath practices such as the Wim Hof Method and the Art of Breath by Brian Mackenzie.
