clinics, who love the one-stop-concept,” adds Regan. “They all love the fact that as long their requirement is covered by ACC the service is free for them. We don’t have a surcharge fee that most clinics have. “I have always had a desire to make physio affordable and accessible for everyone, and we are doing just that. Not everyone can afford $40 for a session.” As the business has developed the one-stop concept has really come to the fore. All the Physio Connect clinics now offer traditional Chinese acupuncture, podiatry and clinical pilates as well as physiotherapy. And all can be free when covered by ACC. Regan and Kim now have a team of 16 spread across the four clinics. They have specialists in all services they provide and have physiotherapists trained in pilates. It is a family business with Kim a key part of the team, working behind the scenes on marketing and administration, while also being hands on with their two young children, Rylee (4) and Cooper (2). It has been Kim who has played a key role in the striking Physio Connect branding and the professional look and feel of all the marketing, promotional material and social media content. The branding was designed by the team at Benefitz who have also gone on to assist Kim with producing virtually all items that feature the branding. This has included signage at all outlets, promo and printed items as well as a great website that really profiles the business well. “We are thrilled with the entire look,” says Kim. “We have been able to apply the new branding to the two more established clinics and it looks particularly good at the two brand new clinics we have set up over the past 12 months at Browns Bay and Milford.” Regan also remains very hands on in the business. The day we were in the clinic I had to wait my turn while he tended to a patient. He sees staying at the coal face as very being important. “I really enjoy the business aspects of running Physio Connect as well as the patient contact. I get a kick out of building and managing the business as well as property-related stuff. Combining the two provides me with great variety so I really do love what I do.” The Physio Connect team also play a part in the community by looking after some sports teams. These include New Zealand Tag teams, the Silverdale Rugby Club and the Mixed Martial Arts Club (MMA) based at the North Shore Events Centre. They also have a close association with Northbridge Retirement Village, offering services to the residents and their hospital patients. So there it is Browns Bay mag readers. If you are looking for a one-stop-shop for injuries, discomfort or rehabilitation, you just found it. It will probably be free! Visit: www.physioconnect.co.nz
