That Farming Physio
I offer whole person physiotherapy - looking at not just the injury, the parts of the body above and below, but also how you move, sleep, eat and drink. In addition to this, I look at how the central nervous system and viscera impact your movement patterns and will never leave you hanging.

Just like you, I'm out there doing it, farming, physio, family. I'm practical, straightforward and I get stuff done.

Storm has been a dedicated physiotherapist since 2002. After earning her Bachelor of Health Science (Physiotherapy) from AUT, she quickly advanced her education, obtaining a Post Graduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy in 2004. Before she had her family, Storm spent 14 years in private practice, during which she expanded her expertise to include pain management, return-to-work programs, and rehabilitation.
Following the birth of her fourth child, Storm took a five-year hiatus to focus on motherhood and farming. In May 2022, she and her husband purchased a hill country farm in Te Karaka, where they raise sheep and beef.

ACC and INSURANCE
We understand the importance of accessibility to physiotherapy services.
You may qualify for ACC subsidised treatment if your injury has occurred as a consequence of an accident at home, in the car, at work or on the sports field.
You don't need a referral to seek treatment from us - we can register your injury with ACC at the time of your initial consultation.
We do have a surcharge for ACC consultations. If you have already filled out a claim (GP/Previous provider) bring these details along with you, as well as any other letters, referrals or scans you may have.
If you have another insurer, I can provide an invoice for you to send to them after you have paid.
