Being an athlete means you are going to have many issues, some more then others, but the one thing that is really important is that you keep on top of injuries and/or prevent them from happening in the first place. Unfortunately it took me 3 years of racing professionally to find out about Bureta physio. Three years of imbalances, unnecessary pain and surgeries. After seeing the team at Bureta for the first time it was like I had finally found the light at the end of the tunnel. Without doubt I can say Bureta Physio are THE BEST at what they do in the Country. I went to them for one specific problem, and Jacinta and Kate ended up fixing so much more then what I came for. I even came to some fitness classes where people three times my age were making me look weak! Thanks Bureta for all of your time and skills, I am a better bike rider because of you

Bureta Physio have really supported me during my early years of triathlon. Coming from a swimming background I find a new issue most weeks, due to running being so much harder on the body! They have treated me for various injuries, or just the weekly niggle and have helped me to find solutions, preventions and a plan to build a stronger and more robust body. Everyone at Bureta Physio is so friendly and helpful, but it’s the cheerful atmosphere and vibe that you get from just being there, is what I love most. The staff and patients are so energetic and passionate about sport and life that it creates such a motivating environment to be in, especially when the going is tough and your are dealing with setback injuries. Not only are they fantastic at looking outside the box to fix whatever problem you may have but they really go that extra mile to make sure you get the best treatment and prevention possible. Thank you Jax and Kate and the team at Bureta Physio (including my awesome sister Rachel) for helping athletes like me get past injuries and become stronger and faster for it! We couldn’t do it without you!

As a young athlete I was exceptionally tall for my age and this meant my body struggled to keep up with my growth rate leading to many injuries. As a 13 year old I was competing at a regional level in Swimming, Basketball, Volleyball and Netball. After battling for a couple a years to stay injury free it was recommended that I went to Bureta Physio for a biomechanical analysis to see if anything could be done to prevent these injuries from happening before they had occurred. After seeing the team at Bureta Physio I soon realised that a lot could be done to improve by overall strength which would eventually reduce my risk of injuries related to the biomechanics of my body. As I was still too young to start working on strength at a gym Jacinta, Kate and Donna all worked to set me a programme that could be completed at home and in the clinic without the use of weights. Within months I was seeing huge improvements; I was not only stronger but also had better body awareness. These factors meant that I was having fewer injuries and performing better on the sports field. Over my college years I have pursued my chosen sports – Basketball and Volleyball – and have been lucky enough to represent New Zealand in both codes. To this day I continue to work on my strength as Blair has been working with me at Snap Fitness. Because of the staff at Bureta Physio conditioning has become a significant aspect of my training programme. Without the support of the team at Bureta Physio I doubt that I would have been able to go on to represent New Zealand or be planning on chasing my dreams in Basketball over in the United States. Thank you for all that you have done for me
