Ms Claire Vanderpoel
Physiotherapist
With around 10 years experience in private practice Physio, Claire starts at Recharge suitably recharged after some time away from work, exploring South America. This has ReDefined her perspectives on well-being and she is excited to return to being a health professional. Helping people reach their goals, educating them about their injuries, their bodies and applying a holistic approach alongside the diverse team at Ashley Place. A Kiwi from Poneke, Claire studied at Otago University. She has since completed Dry Needling and APPI Pilates certifications, worked in England for 3 years and has been lead Physio for premier club rugby teams. Her focus remains on the individual - recognising that for 2 different people, the same injury affects them differently and the desirable outcomes will vary. Therefore, she will spend time understanding your specific situation, providing relevant and evidence based management without forgetting the bigger picture, outside the injury diagnosis. Claire's favourite place to be is in nature - camping, tramping, surfing or simply being outside. She also loves cooking with her partner and learning things - whether Physio/health related, a new song on the ukulele or new words in a different language (with Spanish going well and now back in Aotearoa she's excited to return to te reo Maori studies).
