The journey from Active Physio to Active⁺

Over thirty years ago, Gill Webb hung out her Active Physio sign on Manukau Rd in central Auckland in a tiny one room practice. Shaped by overseas experience, Gill had a vision to delivery health and wellness services that were needed and trusted by the community. It wasn’t long before Active Physio expanded across the North Island, as other Physios embraced her vision and came on board as Active Physio Franchises.

As we grew to understand the needs of the communities we represented, we attracted other allied health and exercise professionals which enabled us to fulfil the original vision of delivering holistic solutions to our clients’ problems and promote preventative injury and wellness services. Today we are known as Active⁺, the “plus” being that we are not only a physio brand, we are now also a major interdisciplinary rehabilitation supplier who offer comprehensive rehabilitation services through over 1400+ clinicians across Aotearoa.

After nearly 30 years of providing healthcare to New Zealanders, with our recent addition of Southern Cross Healthcare as a partner, and our expansion into new regions and services, it still feels like we have only just begun. We look forward to continuing our journey with all New Zealanders to provide better health outcomes for all.
