Our approach

A clinic built around hands-on, evidence-led care.

Physio Impact is a friendly, professional physiotherapy clinic with two locations in Central Auckland — our main rooms in Eden Terrace, and a satellite at Carbon Method CrossFit in Mt Eden. We work with everyday clients, weekend athletes, and high-performance international athletes and sports teams.

Our physiotherapists are trained in manual therapy, dry needling and Western acupuncture, and exercise rehabilitation. We pair hands-on treatment with targeted, individualised rehab plans so the gains made in the clinic translate into lasting strength, mobility, and confidence in your activity of choice.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing an acute injury, or building toward a sporting goal, we take the time to understand what you're trying to get back to — and design treatment around it.

01

Assess

A thorough diagnostic assessment to understand the injury and what's driving it.

02

Treat

Hands-on manual therapy, mobilisation, acupuncture or dry needling as appropriate.

03

Rehabilitate

A tailored exercise plan that restores strength, resilience and reduces re-injury risk.

Services

Four disciplines, one coordinated plan.

Our physiotherapists draw on manual therapy, acupuncture, exercise rehabilitation and massage. Most clients move between these as their recovery progresses — all guided by a single, integrated treatment plan.
