About Jeremy Whaikawa

Fifteen years of clinical experience. A genuine reason to care.

Physiotherapy found me before I chose it. I have spent most of my life physically active — sport, rugby, strength training, and time alongside some of the best athletes in New Zealand. I know what the body is capable of. I also know what it feels like when it stops working the way it should.

"I came to physiotherapy through injury. Two ACL ruptures and a long rehabilitation taught me more about the body than any textbook could."

Those years on the rehabilitation table sparked a genuine curiosity about how the body heals — and whether it could be done better. That curiosity led me to physiotherapy school in Auckland, and into a career now spanning fifteen years. I have worked with a wide range of patients, from everyday presentations to complex and chronic cases, and I bring the same honest, unhurried attention to each one.

I do not think of physiotherapy as fixing people. I think of it as creating the right conditions for the body to do what it is designed to do — recover, adapt, and move well. My job is to understand what is getting in the way of that, and work through it systematically with the patient.

I am reaching out to GP clinics because I believe good outcomes for patients come from practitioners working together. If you refer a patient to this clinic, you will hear what we found and what we are doing about it.

Our Approach

Patient-centred. Physiotherapy-supported. Systems-based.

Reset  ·  Restore  ·  Rebuild  ·  Recreate

The body is one integrated system. When one area fails, the body compensates — and those compensations create abnormal force through structures, disrupt movement patterns, and make conditions hard to recover from. We identify those compensations, address the root cause, and retrain how the body moves.

Step 1
Reset
Re-establish neuromuscular communication and restore afferent input to the central nervous system. Address inhibited motor control, altered proprioception, and disrupted movement signalling that contribute to pain, guarding, and functional restriction — before progressive loading is introduced.
Step 2
Restore
Improve available joint range of motion, myofascial extensibility, and segmental mobility through targeted manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, and progressive movement retraining. The clinical aim is to optimise movement capacity and reduce the mechanical restrictions driving compensatory patterns — not to achieve a fixed end-range target, but to restore what is available and functional for that individual.
Step 3
Rebuild
Develop neuromuscular stability progressing from static to dynamic load. Address muscle imbalances, lumbopelvic control deficits, and kinetic chain weakness through structured exercise prescription. Static stabilisation is established first — deep segmental activation, postural endurance, and isometric control — before advancing to dynamic loading, perturbation training, and functional strengthening under load.
Step 4
Recreate
Integrate the individual components — neuromuscular control, mobility, and strength — into task-specific and sport-specific movement retraining. Graduated return to participation through progressive functional loading, movement pattern correction, and activity-specific rehabilitation. The goal is restored biomechanical efficiency, confident movement, and durable return to the patient's relevant occupational, recreational, or sporting demands.

Point of Difference

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) — Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy for inflammation reduction, pain management, and tissue repair. We use clinical-grade equipment — the RJ Physio Olympic Laser System and the Lipo Plus Multilase — with evidence for musculoskeletal conditions. Non-invasive, well-tolerated, and used alongside manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation. Not commonly offered by physiotherapy practices in this area.
