Natalya Hounsell Master of Physiotherapy Practice

Physiotherapist


Natalya graduated in 2024 with a Master of Science in Physiotherapy Practice from the University of Auckland. Alongside physiotherapy, she is an experienced Reformer Pilates instructor, leading both group and one-on-one sessions.

Natalya's approach to care combines manual therapy, exercise-based rehabilitation, and Pilates principles, delivering personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual. While she is passionate about treating a range of sports-related injuries, her experience as a keen trail runner has fuelled a special interest in managing running injuries and helping athletes return to peak performance.

  • "If you have issues with your footwear, running or walking biomechanics, or any pain in your feet – call me for an appointment today. I am a podiatrist specialising in sports podiatry, I can customise orthotics for you, prescribe exercises and advise you on the best way of managing your pain."

  • "As a fully qualified sonographer I spend all day scanning my client’s injuries. Our appointments take only 20 minutes and I feed back my findings directly to your physiotherapist or doctor. This helps them plan your injury management. Ask you physio today if you need an ultra sound scan to help with your injury."

  • "Having experienced headache’s and neck pain myself I have become an expert at treating them. I have qualified with my post-graduate diploma in manipulative therapy, and love sorting out my client’s stiff and painful necks, helping them with their posture and returning them to work."

  • "I enjoy treating knees, and here at RJ Physio we see many knee injuries and clients suffering from knee pain. Having a great knowledge of how the knee works and wonderful facilities at RJ Physio, including two gyms and a Pilates studio, anyone with a knee problem should see the team. Call me today to see if can help you with your knee pain."
