Our Team
Heydon Drury
BPhty, PNZ
While I am originally from Cambridge, UK, I have been lucky enough to call New Zealand my home since 2023. I’ve tried my hand at most sports and found my passion in CrossFit and Basketball.
​
Physio came naturally to me as it combined my love of sports, science and helping people! I really enjoy helping people with a mix of hands-on therapy, exercise based rehab and some good laughs along the way!
My current clinical favorites are anything knee, shoulder or running related. Since moving to New Zealand, I have now also found myself learning to surf and working towards progressing my PADI scuba diving qualifications.
​
I look forward to seeing anyone in the clinic or on the gym floor with me!
Nicola Brown
AUT - Advanced Massage Therapy
Hey, I’m Nic, a massage therapist who enjoys helping athletes and active people move better, recover faster, and feel amazing.
I completed my AUT Sports Massage and Sports Massage Advanced certificates in 2016 and have since worked with a wide range of clients, from the general population through to athletes in rugby, motocross, CrossFit, and beyond.
Every session is tailored to you, whether you’re shaking out tight muscles or just needing some ‘you time.’ Massage is a perfect complement to your training or physio sessions, and I make sure it’s both effective and enjoyable.
Portia Olney-Kemp
BPhty, PNZ
(Currently on maternity leave)
Born in Northland, I have grown up in a very active sporting community competing in a range of sports from athletics, triathlons, hockey and surfing. Following a nasty Achillies injury at the age of 12, I knew becoming a physiotherapist was what I wanted to do. Exercise and movement have always played a significant role in my life, and I love to utilise this alongside manual therapy techniques as key principles in my physiotherapy management. I enjoy challenging people of all abilities to promote optimal and healthy movement.
As a locum Physiotherapist, I look forward to meeting and working with you here at Physio Lab before I tackle my next challenge of motherhood. Outside of work you’ll find me surfing, beach walking, in the gym or outside some of Mount’s best local foodie spots.

Luke Burgess is a senior physiotherapist with 10 years clinical experience following his undergraduate degree in Physiotherapy. He has since completed a post-graduate diploma in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy.
A few notable sports teams Luke has worked with includes; New Zealand All Whites and age-group football teams, Manchester City Academy and LUGI handball team in Sweden.
Having worked in musculoskeletal private practice and in high performance sporting environments, he has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the human body and how it functions.
​
Luke has a special interest in spinal injuries and sport specific injuries. He is a great listener and works together with his clients to achieve their goals, whether it be sporting success or simply regaining painfree function at the injury site.
​
When Luke isn't in the clinic he can be found running the streets of the mount or on one of the local golf courses. Working in a crossfit gym has him participating in the classes occasionally too.
