Testimonials

I am a middle aged woman who goes to pilate classes twice a week at Active Physio Albany  My goal is to remain fit and flexible to get the most out of life, and the workouts  deliver that. It was important to me to go to a organisation that I would feel  supported, challenged and be part of a team that was working with me. My physio and Pilates Instructor, Jenny Cooper, has been fantastic, encouraging but at the same time pushing me when needed.

Margaret Latimer Director, Teknatool


In her role as a physiotherapist and pilates instructor Megan has been an essential part of my recovery from a range of injuries.  Her no nonsense, knowledgeable, supportive and practical approach has been invaluable in the four years that I have known her.  I have recommended her to a number of friends and business colleagues and they too have found her fantastic.

Ruth Clavis Director, K2 Consulting Executive Search

 

As a professional tennis player having an injury and time off playing costs me money.  So it’s important that I get the most accurate and thorough diagnosis and treatment. I continue to use Andy because he gives me the confidence that I will be back playing in the quickest possible time. I have travelled extensively and can truly say Andy is world class. As well as his professionalism he has a great sense of humour, making my treatments as enjoyable as is possible.

 

Dan King-Turner - Professional Tennis Player

 

Andy is a very skilled and knowledgable physiotherapist, and the best I have met. I particularly valued Andy's approach which is a mix of understanding my objectives, bringing to the table a depth of knowledge of physiotherapy and options for repairing my shoulder injury and tailoring a repair program to my needs. I am thrilled with the results of his work and advice and my rehabilitation progress. Andy is also obviously passionate about his profession and keeps current and engaged in the latest research. I highly recommend Andy as an expert and competent physiotherapist.

Greg Runnerstrum - Marketing Consultant


(Pink Pilates) This program has been a huge positive focus in a time of extreme stress. Megan was a fantastic support who adapted the program to support my mood and stress at the time. I have loved the interaction with her and an exercise program that suits me and makes me feel better about myself. I have had years of almost constant back pain and this program has had a huge positive effect on reducing the pain I experience and improving my quality of life.

Dr Diane Fraser, Unitech, Auckland
