InTension NZ is a corrective movement practice based in Tiakitahuna, Palmerston North. Its practitioner, Cara, describes herself as a corrective movement specialist who looks for the root cause of pain and builds an individual programme to retrain how the body moves. The work is offered in two ways: one-to-one support, starting with an initial assessment of 60 to 75 minutes, or online video programmes that clients work through at their own pace. The website says there can be a wait of two to four weeks for appointments, depending on availability, and asks clients to say which days they are generally free, from Monday to Friday. Online consultations are also offered.
Customers describe Cara as thorough and attentive. One had an online consultation for shoulder pain when doing snatches, and said Cara went through the movements to find when it hurt, then gave an exercise programme. Another says Cara took time to assess mobility and pain points, and explained how past injuries had affected their muscles and joints. A third came for knee and ankle pain that was stopping them hiking, and reviewers mention her eye for detail, rehab exercises and knee pain most often.
