Our Team
Tim Dalman
Tim participated in competitive sports from a young age and, through his personal experiences of physiotherapy, was inspired to go into the profession. Tim’s 10 years of playing competitive football helped him fully understand a patient’s frustrations and need for good rehabilitation following an injury. He puts an emphasis on listening to each individual issue and refuses to put any one injury into a set treatment box. He is driven to make the best diagnosis with his skills and is gratified by great results!
Tim graduated from Otago University in 2006 and completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Sports Medicine in 2009. He has qualifications in Clinical Pilates and Trigger Point Dry Needling and has experience working alongside some of New Zealand’s leading physiotherapists and elite sports teams. One of Tim’s main priorities is to keep up with medical best practice and provide his patient’s with the most up-to-date knowledge and treatment options. Alongside spending time with his family, playing golf, running and going to the gym, Tim spends his free time supporting local community sporting events, as well as working as a member of the Wellington sports medicine committee.

Gina has been into sport from a young age, playing ice hockey from primary, and almost every sport in her school through secondary. She played competitive hockey and football until she came to NZ in 2009.
Gina followed her interest in sport into her post-secondary education, graduating in 2007 from Queen’s University in Canada with her Bachelor of Life Science, Bachelor of Physical Education, and Masters of Science in Physical Therapy. She began her career in a multidisciplinary clinic in Canada, and continued here in NZ, loving working in a team environment. Gina has taken a number of treatment based courses here in NZ, gained qualifications in dry needling and is a credentialed therapist with the McKenzie institute.
Struggling to find any ice in Wellington until quite recently, Gina found CrossFit, and has been coaching at CrossFit Central Wellington since 2012. She’s gained her Level 2 Certificate, her mobility certificate, and attended the “Aerobic Capacity” course. This has allowed her to develop a unique knowledge of the requirements of these athletes as well as the skills to assist in movement assessment, technique correction, scaling options, and return to activity programs.
Gina continues to coach and participate in CrossFit, coach and play ice hockey, and take care of her 1 year old (a sport in and of itself!). She has a clear passion for teaching and works hard with patients to fix the cause of their pain, not just treat the pain itself.
