Joanne Hornsby

My name is Joanne Hornsby and I am the owner of Physio4all. Originally from Northern England, I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with an honours degree in Sport & Exercise Science in 1999.  Determined to work towards working in the private sector and following my interest in sports related health care, I successfully built up my own sports massage clinic before furthering my qualifications – later graduating from Bradford University in 2003 with an honours degree in physiotherapy.

​

I have 13 years experience working in the private sector, during which I set up successful private practices in England before relocating to New Zealand in 2010. Soon after arriving in New Zealand i began practicing on the North Shore of Auckland and founded ‘Physio4all’ in 2014.  Physio4all has rapidly grown and now offers two professional and convenient practices in Browns Bay and Takapuna.

​

I have treated many athletes, including working closely with UK athletics as well as professional rugby league and squash players. I am particularly passionate about working closely with children- advising of good posture and providing screening assessments and strengthening programs for them.

​

My special interests incorporate squash and tennis injuries, complex lumbar, pelvis and cervical problems, shoulder injuries, management of hip and knee injuries & replacements, tendinopathies and all soft tissue injuries.   My approach and beliefs are based on manual therapy, muscle energy techniques, fascia release, deep soft tissue massage and exercise rehabilitation.

​

I am also a fully qualified Oncology Massage Therapist which enables me to provide massage therapy techniques to work safely with the complications of cancer and cancer treatment.

I continually undertake post-graduate training courses and am eager to find opportunities to enhance my professional development.
