She is a BradCliff Breathwork physiotherapist, an Ovio Mindfulness Facilitator and has completed courses in ACT and trauma-informed rehab.

Meet our Specialist Physiotherapist Dusty Quinn!

In New Zealand, only a small number of physiotherapists have earned the title of Specialist Physiotherapist — and Dusty is proud to be among them.
This distinction is granted by the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand to clinicians who demonstrate the highest levels of clinical expertise, leadership, advanced assessment, and the ability to integrate and apply current research into patient care.
With more than 25 years of experience, Dusty works at the forefront of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, helping people manage complex injuries and persistent pain with clarity and confidence.
His work goes beyond the treatment room — Dusty collaborates closely with Medical Specialists, General Practitioners, and Physiotherapy colleagues, offering expert second opinions and patient management reviews to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Specialist Physiotherapists are leaders in their field.
They don’t just treat injuries — they help solve diagnostic puzzles, guide recovery plans, and bring a fresh, expert perspective to challenging cases.
Dusty’s role is part of a unique ACC-funded initiative that supports multidisciplinary care.
This means that while Dusty may assess and offer recommendations, patients typically return to their primary health provider — now with a clearer plan and direction for care.

Dusty’s input is often sought for:
- Persistent or unresolved musculoskeletal pain
- Complex sports or spinal injuries
- Post-surgical rehabilitation planning
- Second opinions when progress has stalled
- Expert clinical reasoning and diagnosis

By integrating evidence-based knowledge with hands-on experience, Dusty helps patients move forward when progress has plateaued — always in collaboration with the wider health team.

Dusty is also a keen outdoors man and he with his wife Bronagh have traveled, hiked & cycled in Ireland , Africa, India, Japan, Germany, France, Switzerland & of course NZ.
When not hiking he loves kayaking, previously white water but these days you're more likely to see him in a sea kayak with a fishing line out the back!

You will find Dusty at our Centre City Clinic, Centre City New World Mall, 133 Great King St, Dunedin.
