They were working together at an Ōrewa physiotherapy clinic until recently, when an opportunity arose for them to break off on their own and develop a clinic to provide the quality of patient treatment and education that they felt was important. Ellis and Forde Physio Clinic, which is located down a driveway behind Ōrewa Beach Vets in Florence Ave, includes consulting rooms and a large gym. Tony and Nikki have a focus on muscular skeletal physiotherapy and regularly liaise with each other to determine the best care for their patients.
They work closely with local GPs, specialists/consultants and other health workers and pride themselves on providing the best quality care and rehabilitation. “The main goal is being able to enable patients to get back to their normal lifestyle, be it work, sports or being able to walk in the beautiful coast environment,” Nikki says. The company sponsors tournaments at Ōrewa Bowling Club and provides onsite visits for local companies if needed.
Nikki has lived on the Coast for 18 years and Tony for 14. They moved to New Zealand for the lifestyle, for themselves and their families. Tony is a keen squash player and Nikki is a long term horse enthusiast and they both enjoy fitting those recreational interests into their busy lifestyle.
