Physiotherapy Papamoa

Physio Clinic in Papamoa

At StepUp Physio, we're all about helping you feel stronger, regain movement, and return to the activities which you enjoy—whether that’s playing sport, moving pain-free, or simply living comfortably. Whether you're managing a recent setback, an ongoing niggle, or preparing for or recovering from surgery, our physiotherapists create a plan designed just for you.

How We Work with You

We take the time to understand what’s happening beneath the surface—not just the symptoms. Through a thorough assessment, we identify the real cause of your discomfort or pain and develop a treatment plan that makes sense for your life. This may include hands-on techniques, guided exercises, movement retraining, or preventive advice—which helps you regain confidence and strength.

This collaborative, whole-person approach recognises that the body works as a connected system. Recovery is most effective when it combines hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, education, and practical lifestyle advice. By addressing both the immediate concern and the underlying causes, physiotherapy supports recovery while building long-term strength, balance, and confidence.

Conditions We Treat

From everyday strains to post-op recovery, we help with:

• Back, neck, shoulder, hip, and knee pain
• Sports injuries like sprains, strains, and overuse conditions
• Arthritis, joint pain, tendinopathies (e.g. tennis/golfer’s elbow, Achilles)
• Post-surgical rehab (joint replacement, spinal, shoulder repairs)
