Physio By Design is an active rehab physio clinic in Building F at 27–29 William Pickering Drive, Albany, on the North Shore. The clinic has a gym on site, and it combines physiotherapy with strength and conditioning. Chris Johns founded it in 2010 after returning from overseas, and he works with athletes and active people as well as people recovering from injury.
The clinic offers hands-on treatment, soft tissue techniques, strengthening and mobility programmes, and support for work-related injuries, including ergonomics advice. It also runs movement coaching for athletes who want to improve strength and speed. The clinic says its appointments are longer than usual, so there is time for a thorough assessment and a plan built around the person's body and lifestyle. Chris has worked with representative teams, including NZ Breakers, Auckland Huskies and Netball North Harbour, and the clinic says its treatments follow the latest research. For someone in Albany who wants rehab and strength work in the same place, the on-site gym and the active rehab approach are the practical draw.
