During the Olympic year, Mick also contracted to work with the French, Dutch and Canadian national triathlon teams. Passionate about sport and new challenges, Mick likes to encourage others to discover the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle. During his studies, Mick completed a promising thesis on the management of cycling discomfort through a combination of 'Bike Fit' and osteopathic treatment.

In terms of your management, Mick will try and understand what your injury/discomfort means to you and develop a personalized treatment plan going forward.
From 2013 - 2019, Mick was the treatment provider and manager of the Taranaki Mountain Airs in the National Basketball League. Outside of work Mick likes to try his hand in several sports, basketball, surfing, rugby, soccer, wake-boarding, snowboarding and competing in the odd multisport event/triathlon - ranging from sprint distance to Ironman. Participating in a range of sports is Micks way of being able to understand what his athletic patients go through and how their injuries may have come about.

Craniosacral and Fascia Therapist
Caroline Petit DOF (currently on extended annual leave)

Of all the therapies, Caroline found osteopathy was the more holistic approach that leads to healing both the body and, in consequence, the mind because, in her opinion, they are both deeply related.
For a better understanding of how the mind works, Caroline has studied meditation, with over 100 days of meditation retreats behind her. Caroline also experimented with different mind based therapies that adds to her practice, a broader understanding of her patient's complaints and helps her to optimize the healing process. Caroline specializes in cranial, functional, and fascial osteopathy and she looks forward to helping you heal.
Outside of work Caroline enjoy hobbies such as rock-climbing, dancing, and tennis, which was a big part of her life growing up in Paris. She also loves being in nature, especially hiking or cycling.

Cam Walsh BPHTY (Physiotherapy)

Cam has always been interested in healthcare from an early age, with a family working in the industry and from an innate interest of helping others. This interest was directed specifically towards physiotherapy in his teens, having suffered numerous personal sporting injuries which required a hefty amount of time spent at the local physiotherapy clinic. It was there he learnt to appreciate how much influence his Physiotherapist could have on keeping him on the Rugby field and more importantly helping him prevent injuries from re-occurring.
He completed his Physiotherapy degree in Otago University in 2007. After fine-tuning his trade for a few years in Wellington, he spent the last 7 years in Sydney before making the move back to New Plymouth with his partner and 7 month old son.
His initial attraction to become a Physiotherapist was Sports Physiotherapy and this remains his passion to this day. Cam has done and continues to play a lot of sports himself. Over the years he has worked for a number of teams, mostly Rugby Union and Rugby League, netball and basketball. His Physiotherapy background is varied, with vast experience treating everything from long-term chronic injuries to acute sprains/strains or conditions created by sedentary work conditions or simply postural imbalances. His preferred treatment areas are necks (including headaches), shoulders, knees and ankles/feet. He treats very biomechanically and holistically, looking at the body as a whole.
In his spare time he finds it difficult to stay still, so if he’s not exercising or playing rugby, he will be exploring the great outdoor adventures the Naki has to offer.

Michelle Bourke BPHTY (Physiotherapy)

Michelle graduated from University of Otago in 2004 and feels very fortunate to still love what she does. She has worked in a variety of physio settings from Wellington to London and even onboard a superyacht before finally settling down in New Plymouth to raise her family. She enjoys treating a range of conditions from acute injuries to long term recurrent issues in which she feels biomechanics have a huge part to play. She has become increasingly aware of the impact stress, sleep, diet and exercise can have on inflammation and pain and is passionate about encouraging people to thrive rather than survive. Her treatments are specific to the individual using hands-on techniques, dry needling and exercise rehabilitation. To assist in addressing the overall picture she has completed certificates in breathing dysfunction and nutrition coaching.
Michelle’s main sporting passion was always netball but recently she would more likely be found trail running, swimming or in a Pilates class. She is kept busy in and around home with her husband and 4 children who all love being out and about in this beautiful region.
