Welcome to Step Up Physio, your dedicated physiotherapy clinic in Papamoa. We are committed to helping you recover from pain, regain strength, and prevent future injuries through personalised, patient-centered care.
At Step Up Physio, every new patient receives a one-hour initial consultation, allowing us to conduct a thorough assessment and gain a clear understanding of your condition. Follow-up appointments are 45–60 minutes, giving us enough time to provide hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and guidance designed for your long-term recovery and wellbeing.
Our approach goes beyond just relieving pain. We focus on improving strength, restoring mobility, and preventing re-injury, ensuring that you not only recover but also perform better in your daily life and activities. We take the time to listen, educate, and tailor treatment plans specifically for you, because we believe that quality care requires time and attention.
At Step Up Physio, we combine professional expertise, evidence-based practice, and a compassionate approach to help each patient move confidently, live actively, and stay strong for the future.
