Method Performance and Rehabilitation is a Lower Hutt clinic offering an integrated approach to health and athletic performance, combining physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and strength and conditioning into one service. The team describes its mission as challenging traditional norms in New Zealand health and performance care, aiming to empower clients through a science-backed, evidence-informed approach.
The clinic's practitioners work across disciplines rather than in silos, drawing on experience from elite sport and research environments to deliver integrated support for injury rehabilitation, pain management, movement quality, and long-term athletic development. Method's facility features specialist equipment including VALD ForceDecks, NordBord, ForceFrame, and flywheel systems, used for high-performance training, testing, rehabilitation and recovery.
The team includes Directors Joel Marshall, Brogan Treanor and Dave Sturrock, physiotherapists Teresa Rogers, Dhvanil Gandhi, Alec Cannons, Marisa van der Meer and Mike Ngan Kee, and strength and conditioning coaches Alisa Thia, Dan Hardie and Nathan Roberts. Method emphasises one-on-one, individualised sessions designed to build strong coach-athlete relationships, whether clients compete in team sports, athletics, endurance events, or simply train for personal performance.
Method Performance and Rehabilitation positions itself as a challenger to how health and performance care is typically delivered in New Zealand. Based in Lower Hutt, the clinic brings physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and strength and conditioning together into a single, integrated service — something the team describes as rarely found combined in the NZ market.
Rather than practitioners working in isolation, Method's team blends knowledge across physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and strength and conditioning, collaborating on each client's care. The team's combined background spans elite sport, performance rehabilitation, and applied sports science, allowing them to support every stage of an athlete's journey — from injury management and return to play through to athletic development and performance optimisation.
Method frames its approach around staying evidence-informed and data-driven, summed up in the line "if you're not measuring, you're not managing." The clinic uses cutting-edge sports technology — including VALD ForceDecks, NordBord, ForceFrame, and flywheel systems — to provide precise testing and measurement of athletic performance, removing guesswork from training and recovery decisions.
Method's in-clinic offerings cover three main services. Physiotherapy (available for both ACC and private bookings) is priced at $99 and supports injury rehabilitation, pain management, movement quality, and long-term performance, drawing on the team's elite sporting knowledge and evidence-based treatment. Performance Testing & Measurement, priced at $149, gives clients objective feedback on strength, speed, power, endurance, and movement quality using the clinic's specialist equipment. Strength and Conditioning sessions, at $199, combine expert programming, performance testing, and targeted training strategies to build strength, speed, and resilience while working toward specific goals — whether that's returning from injury or chasing higher performance.
Method emphasises one-on-one sessions designed to build strong coach-athlete relationships, tailoring each session to the client's specific goals — whether they compete in team sports, athletics, endurance events, or simply train for personal performance. This personalised approach underpins the clinic's broader commitment to purposeful, uncompromising care.
Method is led by Directors Joel Marshall, Brogan Treanor and Dave Sturrock. The clinical team includes physiotherapists Teresa Rogers, Dhvanil Gandhi, Alec Cannons, Marisa van der Meer and Mike Ngan Kee, alongside strength and conditioning coaches Alisa Thia, Dan Hardie and Nathan Roberts.
