OUR MISSION

“To provide a professional evidence-based physiotherapy service to maximise our patient’s health outcomes. To promote physical strength and good health to better our patients well-being”

OUR VALUES

Vigour Physio first adopted the colours of navy, white and gold within its logo design. These colours were chosen based on its founders’ values and continue today.

Navy = Trust.

Each patient should feel they can trust their physiotherapist to provide a quality treatment/service designed to their needs.

White = Honesty.

Staff should demonstrate honesty with patients to have open conversations to enable the patient to engage in positive behaviours to maximise their health outcomes.

Gold = Success.

At Vigour Physio we want to promote both the success of our patients journey and recognise our own success as physiotherapists. Staff are also asked to continue to strive for further success and continue with lifelong professional development.

VIGOUR TA MOKO

As the “Vigour” brand has continued to grow, we enlisted the help of staff whanau to help develop a design which represents the brand.

The key themes of this design are based around our identity and culture.

The prominent design is of the shape of the mangopare (hammerhead shark). The mangopare is the representation of strength and power. The puhoro design, the long continuous koru which runs through the centre, represents speed, movement and mobility.

• The manaia is depicted within the design as a spiritual kaitiaki (guardian) of our staff and our patients.

• The design also features the ‘urutira’ (dorsal fin) of a shark reflected on itself. The dorsal fin is the small part of the shark you see breaking the surface of the water while the majority of the shark remains hidden. It’s symbolic of the ‘unknown’ and reminds us to always look beyond the surface. It represents the challenge that we put to our staff to constantly strive for success professionally and for our patient.

Our Culture

Our Journey

Vigour Physio began in 2015. The clinic developed after Clarke worked under the CAPE Physio brand in Cambridge since 2010. Having spent many years on the sideline supporting local, regional, and national sports teams and with this passion to help patients achieve their best health outcomes by promoting physical health, the clinic continued to grow. Vigour Physio Cambridge moved to its current location in 2017 with 6 clinic rooms and onsite gym. The clinic currently supports Cambridge High School, Hautapu Sports and Leamington Rugby Club.

Having a large following of patients from Putaruru, following the Covid-19 pandemic we decided to go to the people. In October 2022 Tahere Reha opened Vigour Physio South Waikato. This clinic has grown from strength to strength with 2 clinic rooms and onsite gym. The clinic provides services to Southern United Rugby Club and recently Putaruru Rugby Club.

In October 2023 Vigour Physio acquired SOAR Physio in Te Awamutu and has recently rebranded as Vigour Physiotherapy Te Awamutu. This clinic has a long history of providing quality physiotherapy to the Te Awamutu community based in the Te Awamutu Medical Centre. The clinic has 4 clinic rooms and small exercise room. The clinic provided services to Pirongia Rugby Club and Ohaupo Netball and Rugby Club.
