Advanced Men and Women's Pelvic Floor Health Physio
Hi, I'm Zee, a senior physiotherapist at Return To Form. 13 years ago I set out to provide a better physio experience in my part of Auckland.
I have a hands-on holistic approach combining my acupuncture, Pilates, and general physio skills for your needs. I specialise and have extensive knowledge with pregnancy, women and men’s pelvic floor health, clinical Pilates, and cancer rehabilitation. My goal is to prepare you for what lies ahead and to get your body to work with you, not against you.
I once had a 31 year old new mum-to-be come in for an appointment for a rather difficult pregnancy. Even though Mary wanted to be physically active, she was hesitant, which was understandable. So I assessed her and guided her with safe movement and exercises to get her in good form, be comfortable with her body, build up her strength, and get rid of any aches and pains. We prepared her for her big day and she's been happy and active ever since, even with bubba at her hip.
I love being able to make a difference in someone's life. Let me made a difference for yours.

Meet Kazuki Jahana, a graduate of the University of Otago. Kazuki is passionate about problem solving and helping patients understand what's going on with their bodies. He believes that educating patients about their pain is the first step to their rehabilitation journey.
Kazuki has a broad range of experience, having worked in MSK, neurorehab, frailty ward in the hospital, and as a caregiver doing home visits. This wealth of experience has given him a well-rounded understanding of the different challenges that patients face and how to help them.
Kazuki is a compassionate and dedicated physiotherapist who is eager to help patients get back to what they love doing. He takes a holistic approach to patient care and works with patients to find the best solution for them.
In his personal life, Kazuki is a former competitive swimmer and now maintains his fitness at the gym. If you're looking for a fresh, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic physiotherapist, book with Kazuki at Return to Form Physio in Ponsonby today!
Senior Acupuncturist
I am Sharon Shan Qu, a licensed acupuncturist, working with the Ponsonby community for over 6 years. I specialise in the treatment of ACC injuries, pain management, and internal disorders such as insomnia, stress, depression, obesity, pregnancy, and menstrual disorders.
One of my recent success stories is that of Sara, who suffered from constant anxiety attacks and had negative side effects from the antidepressants she was prescribed. After three months of acupuncture treatments with me, Sara was able to stay home alone, drive, and take care of her children. She may not be 100% well yet but she's on her way to getting her life back.
I understand that seeking treatment can be daunting, but I assure you that I will work with you every step of the way to ensure that you receive the care and support you need. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate acupuncturist, I would be honoured to work with you. Contact me today to schedule an appointment and start your journey towards optimal health and wellness.
I received my master's degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from Hunan University of Chinese Medicine in 2012. Since then, I have dedicated myself to helping my patients achieve optimal health and wellness. My professional interests include the rehabilitation of patients and helping them improve their symptoms.
I believe that the key to good health and wellness goes beyond the treatment room. That is why I maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise and gardening. These personal interests help me stay in top physical and mental shape, which allows me to better serve my patients.
Acupuncturist
I am Tom Lee, a licensed acupuncturist, working with Return to Form since June 2023. I have been an acupuncturist for 12 years. I hold qualifications from South Korea and New Zealand and am proudly registered with NZRA (New Zealand Register of Acupuncturists Inc). I am an ACC Treatment Provider. My passion is using acupuncture to help solve people joint and muscle pain.
Jane is one of my patients. She had lower back pain, but she did not want acupuncture treatment because she was afraid of needles. One day she visited the clinic because she had an acute upset stomach. So I treated her with acupuncture. Since then, she has no fear of needles and has also been treated for lower back pain. Now she believes in acupuncture and contacts whenever she has a problem for counselling and treatment. I emphasise the importance of safe and painless needling.
In my treatments, I combine various techniques, including needling, moxibustion, cupping, and electric stimulation. I firmly believe in the innate healing abilities of our bodies and see Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a powerful catalyst for self-healing. I understand that TCM treatment extends beyond addressing physical ailments; it also provides effective relief for anxiety and depression, promoting a sense of calmness in the mind.
Massage Therapist/Admin Team
I am Rebekah and I am a massage therapist at Return to Form. I am currently in my third year of studying physiotherapy at Auckland University of Technology.
I value being able to exercise and move my body as I come from a background of sports and my own injuries. I understand the challenges when injuries limit this and I want to support people through their recovery so they can get back to doing what they love.
One client I helped was a lady who struggled with ongoing back stiffness. After one session of massage she was already feeling freer through her back. As part as my follow up care I gave her some exercises and stretches to help with her ongoing back stiffness.
I have a certificate in sports massage where I have been trained in full body massage techniques and soft tissue therapy.
When I’m not working or studying, you will find me out running or in the gym. I love to keep up my training for Ultimate Frisbee which I play competitively, although I will be competitive about any sport I am playing.
If you’re looking for a friendly and passionate massage therapist, book in with Rebekah today!
