Pathway Physiotherapy
Available Tuesday, Thursday
Contact 0273 593 504
As an avid climber and lover of the outdoors, moving well and keeping strong have always been important to Andy. He qualified as a physiotherapist in the UK in 2007. His climbing and his work made him more curious to understand how to influence the whole body, not just the bits that hurt. He went on to study Tom Myers’ ‘Anatomy Trains’ and Douglas Heel’s ‘Be Activated’ technique.
Andy equips his clients with tools to perform better, and to prevent or manage their injuries. He will look at your whole picture health, going back to basics to identify where your habits, compensations and imbalances may have been tripping you up. With better building blocks, he’ll support your journey to a strong, more able and resilient you.

Craig Dalton Manual Therapy
Available Fridays & Saturdays
Contact 022 123 1998 or info@cdtherapy.co.nz
My name is Craig and I'm from Rugby, Warwickshire (UK). It all began in 2015 when I quit my 10-year engineering career to embark on a career in soft tissue therapy. After injuring my lower back during martial arts training and experiencing the benefits of massage therapy, I made the decision to retrain. In 2017, I qualified with a Diploma in Clinical Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy from the Oxford School of Sports Massage. I am also studying for a Bachelor's Degree in Musculoskeletal Health at the Ara Institute of Canterbury.
As a registered therapist with Massage New Zealand, I am proud to offer my clients the convenience of accessing the Southern Cross Easy-Claim service. This affiliation ensures that individuals can make the most of their healthcare benefits while receiving the professional care I provide.
In my spare time, I enjoy skateboarding, mountain biking, hiking, martial arts, animal flow and a massive geek in board games!

Dorothy Lee
Available Wednesdays
Contact 021 158 1788
Performing ballet from 1985 until 2009, I sustained numerous injuries, and sports massage therapy was the best way for me to recover from them as well as improve my performances. My experience with the ability of sports massage to help with sports injuries, body alignment, improving posture, and optimising blood flow and relaxation has led to my profession and passion. For the past 15+ years I have practiced as a qualified sports massage therapist including deep tissue massage and soft tissue massage and led rehabilitation exercise classes including Yoga & Pilates.
My clients range from office workers and gym goers to elite rugby, baseball and cricket sporting teams. My joy is to see my clients’ recovery as well as to help maintain top condition in order to improve their quality of life and achieve their sporting goals.
