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.
