Habit Health Petone: Physiotherapy & Occupational Health on Cuba Street, Lower Hutt

On Cuba Street in the heart of Petone, Habit Health Petone supports individuals, whānau and local workplaces across the Lower Hutt region. The clinic brings physiotherapy and occupational health services together under one roof, with a clear focus on recovery, wellbeing and helping people return to work safely. As a trusted ACC provider, the team is focused on sustainable, meaningful outcomes rather than quick fixes — and if you're not sure where to start, they'll guide you to the right service.

Physiotherapy without the hurdles

One of the things patients appreciate most is how straightforward it is to get care. No GP referral is needed — you can book directly online or call the clinic, and as a trusted ACC provider, injury claims can be handled at the clinic. Appointments come with personalised treatment plans tailored to your needs, backed by Habit Health's Physio Money Back Promise.

The physiotherapy team helps with a wide range of concerns: sports physiotherapy, ACC physiotherapy, post-surgical recovery, injury prevention, pain management, mobility and strength support, and workplace injury rehabilitation. Whether you've picked up a sports injury, are recovering after surgery, managing persistent pain, or rebuilding strength and movement, treatment is shaped around your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Supporting local workplaces

Occupational health is the other side of the clinic's work. Habit Health Petone partners with businesses across the region to keep employees healthy, safe and at work. Services include ergonomic workstation assessments, tailored return-to-work rehabilitation plans, early intervention programmes (Resolve), corporate massage, flu vaccinations, health and safety education, general wellbeing assessments, injury management and recovery support, task analysis and functional assessments, equipment and workstation modifications, the Stay at Work (SAW) Programme, and medical clearance updates.

The thread running through all of it is early, practical support — catching problems before they become long-term injuries and helping people stay connected to their jobs while they recover. For employers, it means one local point of contact for everything from a flu vaccination programme to a full return-to-work plan.

A team rooted in the community

The team lives and works in the Petone community and is passionate about supporting people to achieve their goals. Luis Azevedo leads the physiotherapy team as Lead Physiotherapist, alongside Vicky Moore as Clinical Lead. Staff physiotherapists Kayla Williams, Nish John and Sean Sharp handle day-to-day injury care and rehabilitation, while Senior Vocational Consultant Adrienne Heath brings specialist expertise in vocational rehabilitation — helping people return to meaningful work after injury or illness.

That mix of skills matters, because recovery is rarely just physical. Having physiotherapists, a clinical lead and a vocational consultant under the same roof means care plans can address the whole picture, including the path back to work.
