Physio Zone is a family-owned physiotherapy clinic at 177A Marua Road in Mount Wellington, run by a husband and wife physiotherapy team, Shakeela and Tim Eason. The clinic is ACC registered, offers flexible hours, and is an easy-claim provider for Southern Cross Health Society members. It has a special interest in sports injuries, back pain and post-operative rehabilitation, and treats everyone from people training for a marathon to weekend players and people recovering from surgery. The first consultation covers the injury, general health and a full examination of movement, strength and manual tests, and the treatment is then built into a customised rehab plan. That plan can include manual therapy, exercise prescription, and dry needling used alongside treatment to ease muscle tension. Whiplash after a car accident or sports knock is also treated here.
Shakeela and Tim have each worked for years in private practice and hospital settings in Auckland, and Tim trained with musculoskeletal specialists in London before returning to New Zealand. The clinic's aim is a sport-specific programme that gets people back to their activity in a safe, graded way and works on the factors that reduce the risk of re-injury afterwards.
