Tamsin Mafi
B.Sc, Dip.Physio, Dip.MT
Prior to working at KHC I spent 16 years working at Linton Military Camp. At least half of this time we were based in the rehab gym so have considerable experience with rehabilitation in general. Due to the common presentation of shoulder injuries, the team and I have attended numerous post grad courses and workshops and have developed some effective treatment and rehabilitation strategies as a result. Before studying physiotherapy I gained a degree in Mathematics and Psychology.

I am the tall, fresh-faced physio tucked away at the end of the Rata pod hallway. I am coming into my fourth year of work as a physiotherapist. Previously I have worked in Auckland for two years in a typical private musculoskeletal clinic, and for one year at TBI Health in Palmerston North doing a host of contract related work including early intervention, chronic pain management, post-surgical and return to work rehabilitation. I have plenty of experience with many different injuries, ranging from acute sporting injuries, to back pain/sciatica, to run-of-the-mill every day injuries. I have a biopsychosocial approach with my patients, treating them as a person, not just an injury.

Gemma Fisher
I graduated from Manchester University with a BSc with Hon in 2003. I worked in a large UK hospital for 5 years gaining experience through many specialties. These included Respiratory, Palliative, on-call work, Cardiac, Rehab, Amputee, Paediatrics, Mental Health and Musculoskeletal. On arriving in NZ in 2009 I was based with the NZDF at Linton military camp where I treated mainly MSK injuries and gained valuable experience in Rehabilitation enabling soldiers to return to their full duties.
Following my maternity leave and becoming a mum to two beautiful girls, I am now working more in a community role providing both a service for the Youth Prison and also an onsite physio service to the Regional Distribution Centre which includes Pre Employment and workplace assessments. I also provide sick and holiday cover here in the clinic to the Kauri Physio team.
Joy Vanderpoel
BSc,BPhysEd,DipTchg,DipPhysio,PGDipMT,PGDipSportsMed,PGCertRehab
Most of my career has been working with Military populations, developing a strong focus on the rehabilitation required to return soldiers to optimum function. Over the past 2 years I have changed my focus to optimizing patients’ return to work under the ACC Stay At Work and Back To Work contracts. The research shows clear benefits to the individual, the employer and to society of returning the injured worker to the workplace as soon as safe to do so. Rehabilitation is a key focus of this process and Kauri Physio is able to provide a home exercise programme, gym or pool based programme depending on the individual needs.
