Senior Physiotherapist · Premier Wellness Orewa
Briana brings strong private-practice physiotherapy experience to the Hibiscus Coast — combining hands-on manual therapy, Western medicine acupuncture dry needling and progressive exercise rehabilitation to get you back to the activities you love. Whether you're a CrossFit athlete, recovering from surgery, navigating pregnancy-related pain or working through a stubborn back or neck injury, Briana takes a thorough, root-cause approach.
Briana developed a passion for biomechanics and the human body through her involvement in sport from a young age. After a significant knee injury while playing netball, she experienced rehabilitation firsthand — an experience that shaped her into a compassionate and empathetic clinician who understands the recovery journey from both sides.
Since graduating from the Auckland University of Technology in 2019 with a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy, Briana has worked across Auckland's North Shore in private practice, treating a wide range of musculoskeletal and sports injuries. Her clinical approach blends manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and clear patient education to deliver meaningful, long-term outcomes.
She has a particular interest in supporting CrossFit athletes, runners and active individuals — drawing on her own background in CrossFit and running — as well as guiding patients through pre and post-operative rehabilitation, and helping mums work through pregnancy-related groin, hip and back pain.
