Nat is a physiotherapist and running specialist who doesn’t just talk the talk, or walk the walk for that matter, she runs!

 

With an impressive resume including working as a physiotherapist at the Olympics, running the 3000km Te Araroa Trail and competing in gruelling adventure races herself, Nat has a tonne of experience to help her clients get strong and achieve their PBs. 

If you’re a runner, chances are you’ve injured yourself at some point. Whether you rolled an ankle on a loose stone or got an RSI (repetitive strain injury), it seems when we take the pretty basic human skill of running to the next level we open ourselves up to a world of pain and often are left puzzled on where we went wrong.
