About Me
MY NAME IS Craig O’Connor
I have successfully earned a Master's degree, with my thesis concentrating on "Kapa Haka and its correlated health and well-being advantages for Kaihaka" (Kapa Haka performers). My academic journey at Unitec was distinguished by the receipt of several Ministry of Health scholarships, including a Men’s Health scholarship, which financially supported my initiative aimed at delivering healthcare services tailored for tradespeople. Furthermore, I have augmented my academic achievements by completing a postgraduate certificate in Acupuncture at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in recent years.
Born and bred on the beautiful East coast of New Zealand, I love spearfishing or getting out for a surf. I am also a keen Judoka, (a person who does Judo).

What I do
As a Structural Osteopath Consultant, my primary emphasis lies in the meticulous examination of biomechanics to enhance the functional movement capabilities of the human body, facilitating optimal performance in daily activities. Employing rigorous movement screening processes, I tailor treatments utilising a diverse array of techniques, including soft tissue manipulation, mobilisation, massage, acupuncture, and the provision of expert guidance on customised exercise regimens.
My professional experience extends to collaborating with athletes across various sporting disciplines, with a specialised focus on injury prevention and rehabilitation. Notably, I have had the privilege of working with elite athletes on an international scale, particularly in sports such as Netball, CrossFit, Running, and Olympic weightlifting.
