At last, we’re moving ahead with the old clinic building at 38A Gorge Road (the correct legal address), and it’s exciting to see it starting to take shape.Juliet Fraser take a moment to thank some truly wonderful people who have helped make this possible. A special thank you to Juliet Fraser for her kindness, support, and encouragement throughout the journey.

Thanks also to Chris Arnold and his fantastic team, especially Big John and also Paddy and his team. Thanks to Jason Reid, and Pete Rogers, whose hard work and willingness to help have been greatly appreciated.

One of the things I’ve learned through the challenges of the last year is just how special the Queenstown community really is. During difficult times, good people step forward, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have so many of them around me.

Thank you all for your friendship, support, and belief in what comes next. It means more than you know.

It will be a great place for people to stay in the future … spreading the good feeling of what it was…

Back pain?

Your body may not need more stretching.

It may need better control.

When the pelvis tilts too far forward or backward, the muscles and joints of the lower back can become overloaded.

Assessment. Treatment. Rehabilitation.

Not either or, both! Hands on improve pain and create a window for movement and life. Exercise builds capacity. Pain science + manual therapy, hands on + exercise for the win!!!🏆

Manual Therapy vs. Exercise for Neck Pain 📊

Here’s a great infographic summarizing the TAMERE RCT study (2026) on chronic nonspecific neck pain.

The Takeaway: There was no significant difference in pain reduction between the therapist-led and exercise groups, but both showed significant improvements in function and quality of life.

Clinical Implications: It highlights a complementary "eclectic approach"—using manual therapy early on to modulate pain ("opening the functional window"), followed by active exercise to reinforce movement and build long-term resilience ("building the house"). Check out the full breakdown below! 👇
