Re-Energise Physio Papamoa services their local community with the most high quality and affordable physiotherapy service since opening its doors in August 2015. Alex is the Director and lead Physiotherapist, joined by our other experienced, knowledgeable and welcoming physios; Samantha, Luke, Emma and Lisa.
Re-Energise Physio believe that physiotherapy is about educating our Papamoa community about their injuries, providing the most appropriate and effective forms of rehabilitation, and then teaching how to prevent re-injury with personalised take home exercise programmes.
We at Re-Energise Physio Papamoa feel that the transfer of energy between you and your physiotherapist is an integral part to your healing. Whether it be from the hands of the physio as they use experienced massage techniques, an U/S machine, needling, or just the general positive energy that is flowing around our clinical rooms.
Allow us to help you become Re-Energised and get back to your daily activities, effectively and pain free.
Alex is the Director of Re-Energise Physio and our Lead physiotherapist.
Originally from the UK, he completed his first degree in Geography in 2003. He then proceeded to work for the UK Police as an Intelligence Analyst profiling criminals for the Terrorist Unit and Drugs team. After spreading his wings and traveling, he attended a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Thailand where he discovered his calling for helping people and decided to study Physiotherapy.
Since gaining his physiotherapy qualification he managed clinics for two of the biggest companies in Auckland before moving to Papamoa five years ago. He has experience working with many sports teams including Crossfit athletes, Prems Rugby, Rugby League, Soccer, NPC netball, basketball, and NZ representative swimmers.
Alex has an extensive background in swimming; as an athlete and coach and has been competing at a high level for over 25 years and still dabbles in a bit of open water competition.
The combination of his analytical skills and technical eye for biomechanics has enabled Alex to become effective at diagnosing and finding the most effective treatments for your injuries.
Alex spends his spare time enjoying the Papamoa lifestyle with his wife Kathryn and their young family; daughter Amber and newest addition Avery.
Samantha joined our team in 2017. She developed an interest in physiotherapy after multiple visits to a physiotherapist in her youth for recurring hip injuries.
Her experience ranges from working with older adults, post-surgical clients, children and those with neurological conditions. Samantha enjoys being able to work with people to help them achieve their goals.
Samantha enjoys running and spending time at the beach soaking up the sunshine. She spent the majority of her teenage years playing hockey and tennis which she hopes to continue in the future.
She has a passion for being creative in the kitchen baking up delicious treats utilising her previous experience in hospitality along with being pretty handy on the house renovation front.
Luke moved to the Mount Maunganui region drawn by it’s friendly and laid back culture. Luke has experience in back and neck pain clinics in Wellington whilst at the same time working alongside rugby, basketball and soccer teams.
Luke combines different types of treatments in his sessions and frequently utilises his skills in dry needling (western acupuncture), manual therapy, and exercise prescription.
Luke also likes to keep active and is currently participating in Tauranga men’s basketball as well as learning to surf. Luke has also recently added yoga to his exercise and gym routine which he enjoys.
Luke is an enthusiastic young man who likes to have a yarn about travelling and sport along with sharing his newly acquired ‘Dad tips.’
Emma is a UK trained Physiotherapist who has recently moved to Tauranga. As a keen player of different sports and love of science she knew that Physiotherapy was the job for her.
Her experience includes extensive work in the NHS within a variety of different specialties. These include community, oncology and haematology, respiratory, trauma, post-surgical, paediatrics, older adults, outpatients within a large hospital and smaller community hospital, and hands and rheumatology. She also has experience running a variety of different rehabilitation exercises classes with a range of ability levels. Emma loves the rehabilitation process and enjoys the reward of getting people back to the activities they love.
Emma loves surfing, running and dabbling in lots of different sports and activities such has tramping and squash. She grew up in Cornwall, UK which is a coastal location with lots of beaches and is enjoying the similar vibes in the Mount (but with much better weather!)
Lisa is an Australian trained Physiotherapist who decided to travel across the ditch and find new roots. She has a keen interest in musculoskeletal and neuro rehabilitation physiotherapy. She believes that along with quality hands-on care, exercise and active management are paramount to holistic physiotherapy treatment.
Lisa’s passion for physiotherapy stems from her own active lifestyle. She comes from a background in netball; having played at a high level for the past 10 years, and a love for snowboarding and water sports. After battling chronic back pain and suffering multiple soft tissue injuries, Lisa decided to retire from netball and focus on her career in physiotherapy.
Outside of the clinic, Lisa loves challenging herself in CrossFit training as well as going up Mount Maunganui, and playing social soccer. She hopes to get back into playing netball soon!

Sheree has her fingers in a lot of pies here at Re-Energise Physio; not only does she do the day to day admin, she shares the Business Manager role with Kathryn and is the Nana to Alex and Kathryn’s children (who are just the light of her life!)
Kathryn is the (behind the scenes) Business Manager of Re-Energise Physio.
Seamlessly juggling her energies between our clinic, her job and her young family, Kathryn instigates and develops the social media, advertising and day to day aspects of our business.
She is actively involved in the local CrossFit gym (as a member and participant of competitions.) She is also a qualified teacher of Performing Arts and one day might enter ‘stage right’ again in the future.
