A big thank you to our Te Mata patients for bearing with us as we carry out some essential work on the clinic roof. We apologise for the distraction - we know it’s been noisy at times

Josh and his crew from Premium Roofing have been making the most of the recent fine weather to get this job done as quickly as possible. All going well, work should be finished by the end of this week.

A depleted Hawks team lost against Taranaki yesterday. Great defence but the shots just wouldn't drop. Congrats to the Rapid League who won 33-22. It's a must win needed for the Hawks against Southland Sharks in Napier this Friday afternoon.

Ann Phillips has recently joined our team at the Royston Centre in Hastings. Ann worked as a legal secretary for many years in Wellington before leaving New Zealand to follow her husband on transfer to the USA for four years.

On their return to New Zealand they settled in Auckland for three years where Ann worked as a PA for an Auckland barrister. In 2019 the couple relocated to Hawke’s Bay and Ann was ready for a change. She spent some time working as the receptionist at an accountancy practice and recently joined Focus Health. Here, she traded legalese for medical terminology, undertook three weeks of training at our Napier clinic and has now settled into her front-of-house role at Royston.

Outside of work, Ann enjoys her garden, travelling, and her West Highland Terrier called Boston.

Molly graduated with a first class BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy from Sheffield Hallam University. After graduating, she worked for York Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for two years on rotation, and in MSK outpatients.

Here she gained broad experience in many aspects of healthcare, working on medical and surgical wards, acute elderly, and stroke rehabilitation. It was a great opportunity to apply her knowledge in a real-world hospital setting.

After that, Molly switched to the private sector, working in a private MSK practice while completing further study at the University of Liverpool - where she gained an MSc with distinction in Veterinary Physiotherapy.

A keen sportsperson (hockey and netball) and self-confessed animal lover, Molly competed in eventing in the UK. Eventing is often referred to as the "triathlon" of horse riding, combining dressage, cross-country and show jumping, and testing the skill and endurance of both horse and rider. In her most recent competitions, she rode a former racehorse called Rosie.

These days she balances her work between human and animal physiology, working two days as an animal physiotherapist. Strange as it might sound, this work has helped her fine tune her people skills. "Animals can't talk, so you have get good at reading them. It's the same for us humans - someone's posture and movement can reveal a lot about their underlying condition."

We're so glad Molly made the decision to move to New Zealand late last year. She now works at our Onekawa clinic in Napier on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
