Harry Fitzgerald
Senior Physiotherapist

About

Harry graduated from Otago University with his physiotherapy degree at the end of 2016. After 4 years of studying in the cold south he decided to head north in search of a warmer climate, settling in Whanganui. Having joined Active+ at the start of 2017, Harry is keen to live up to, and exceed, the high quality of practice set by the rest of the Active+ physiotherapy team.

Harry is passionate about helping people enhance their lives through physical wellness. He has previously taught Pilates group classes in both Whanganui and Marton. He has a special interest in vestibular and concussion rehab but has experience across all areas of musculoskeletal physiotherapy.

Since 2014 Harry worked as an on-field medic, supporting many rugby teams at all levels of the sport. From the Otago Boys 1^st and 2^nd XV teams, to the Tawa Rugby Club’s premier men’s in Wellington and has more recently worked closely with the Whanganui Men's Heartland Rugby team.

In 2020 Harry completed his Post Graduate studies in Acupuncture, having used various simple needling techniques since he started practicing in 2017. He is now incorporating more complex methods of Western Medical Acupuncture to complement his solid foundation of manual therapy techniques and exercise prescription. 

Outside of work he spends his time watching motorsport with his family, training in the gym with his wife and has been exploring his creative side by focusing on his art and miniature painting.
