0800 627 497 Over the past 20+ years, we have grown into one of the region’s most trusted physiotherapy providers, proudly serving the communities of Porirua, Whitby, Tawa, and Johnsonville. While our clinics have expanded, our philosophy has remained unchanged: to deliver exceptional clinical care with genuine compassion, professionalism, and a strong community focus.
At North City Physiotherapy, we believe rehabilitation is about more than simply treating pain or injury. It is about helping people move better, function better, regain confidence, and return to the activities that matter most to them — whether that means returning to sport, work, parenting, exercise, or simply daily life without limitation.
We are proud to be a locally owned and operated business, with many of our team living in the same communities we serve. This gives us a deep understanding of our clients, their lifestyles, and the needs of our wider community.
Our Clinics
We provide physiotherapy services across four convenient locations:
- Porirua Clinic
- Whitby Clinic
- Tawa Clinic

Whether you live locally, commute for work, or need care closer to home, our multiple locations make accessing high-quality physiotherapy easier and more convenient.

What to Expect
We believe rehabilitation works best as a partnership.
When you visit North City Physiotherapy, you can expect a thorough assessment, clear diagnosis, honest communication, and a personalised plan for recovery.
Our goal is not just to treat symptoms temporarily, but to understand the root cause of your problem and help create meaningful long-term improvement.
We aim to empower you with education, practical strategies, and guided rehabilitation so you feel confident managing your condition both during and after treatment.
Treatment Planning
A clear treatment plan is central to successful rehabilitation.
Following your assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss your diagnosis, explain contributing factors, and work with you to create a structured rehabilitation plan.
Think of this as your roadmap to recovery.
Your treatment plan may include:
- Hands-on treatment
- Exercise rehabilitation
- Strength and mobility work
- Education and self-management strategies
- Return-to-work or return-to-sport planning
- Ongoing progress reviews
Treatment plans are dynamic and evolve as you improve. We regularly review progress and adjust your rehabilitation to ensure you continue moving towards your goals.
Our Commitment to You
At North City Physiotherapy, we are committed to providing high-quality care, excellent service, and a supportive rehabilitation experience from your first appointment through to discharge.
Our mission is simple: to help our community move well, recover well, and live well.
