Shriram Balachandran
Physiotherapist
Hi, I’m Shriram,
My friends like to call me Ram (like ‘Ram-en’ noodles in case u weren’t sure how to pronounce that). A proud Aucklander born and raised, and studied a Bachelor of Health Science (Physiotherapy) at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in 2024. My passion for physiotherapy stems from a lifelong involvement in sport — growing up, I played competitive cricket and badminton at both school and club levels, and enjoyed my time on the field with football and hockey over the years.
These experiences gave me a strong appreciation for the importance of injury prevention, recovery, and performance, which naturally led me to pursue a career in physiotherapy. I am particularly interested in combining prehabilitation and rehabilitation techniques, tailoring each plan to the individual’s goals, and helping athletes return to their sport stronger and more resilient after injury.
My approach to physiotherapy is holistic. I look at the bigger picture of health and well-being while focusing on recovery and enhancing overall movement and function. I’m committed to using the latest evidence-based treatment methods and exercise prescriptions to deliver the best possible patient outcomes. Whether you’re chasing a return to competitive sport or simply aiming to move better and feel stronger, I’m here to help guide you every step of the journey (and hopefully have a little fun along the way)!
