Restore Physio & Pilates was established in 2022 by Physiotherapist, Victoria McKechnie. Victoria’s vision is to provide the people of Warkworth and its surrounding regions with access to the highest standard of Physiotherapy and Health care, in a calm and relaxing environment.
Victoria’s passion for health and wellbeing led her to pursue her career as a Physiotherapist, initially completing her undergraduate degree in Physiotherapy and a decade later earning her Masters Degree in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy from Auckland University of Technology. Her extensive experience spans various healthcare settings, including hospitals and private practice. This wide-ranging foundation of Physiotherapy knowledge and expertise has been instrumental in her role as a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist.
Throughout her years of practice, Victoria continued to expand her education and training in the realm of exercise and movement. She delved into a spectrum of approaches, ranging from gym-based strength and conditioning training to mat and reformer Pilates. In this exploration, Victoria discovered the immense value and restorative benefits of gaining and maintaining movement and mobility, as well as strength and function in order to recover well from injury and be able to live a happy and fulfilling life.
And so, Restore Physio & Pilates was born; Warkworth’s first Physio Clinic with in-house Pilates and Yoga studio! The term ‘Restore’ perfectly encapsulates the essence of Victoria’s mission - to bring back or re-establish well-being, to return individuals to their former state of health, and to facilitate treatment when necessary.
Restore has now expanded to include experienced senior Physiotherapist Rebecca Doyle, the highly trained and well-known local Pilates instructor Nicole O’Donnell, and established Yoga instructor Wendy Douglas.
Restore offers both ACC and Private Physiotherapy appointments, Physio-led mat and reformer Pilates classes, personalised one-on- one sessions, and specific classes for men, mums and bubs, and over 65s. They work across all age ranges from the young sporting athlete to the older person, including arthritis management and falls prevention.
What sets Restore apart is their dedication to keeping class sizes small, ensuring that their instructors can provide individualised attention and guidance. This, in turn, maximises the benefits of each session. For more information about the services they offer and their class timetable, visit their website. You can contact them through their website, book appointments online, or call to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine the best options for your needs.
