Your Osteopath:
​Ray’s journey into osteopathy was inspired by his own experience with an osteopath. After receiving treatment for an injury and persistent back pain, he was amazed at how quickly he was able to return to the rugby field. This experience sparked his curiosity, leading him to become a 'student for a day,' where he gained insight into the rigorous five-year Master’s program in osteopathy.
​
With over a decade of experience, Ray is a highly skilled osteopath with a deep commitment to his community. He focuses on identifying the root cause of pain and dysfunction, emphasizing the body's interconnectedness. Dedicated to continuous learning and professional growth, Ray has worked across different regions outside Auckland, treating individuals of all ages and professions, further broadening his expertise.
​
​Passion for Sports & High-Performance Care
Beyond osteopathy, Ray is passionate about sports and the outdoors. He has competed at the national level in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and played in the televised Rugby Sevens, representing North Harbour. His expertise in treating high-performance athletes includes working with:
✔ Shane Young – Former UFC fighter representing New Zealand
✔ Kanah Andrews-Nahu – Olympic weightlifter for New Zealand
✔ Cam McTaggart – Olympic weightlifter for New Zealand
✔ Andrei Paulet – Commonwealth Games Athlete (2010) and Wrestling Coach for Israel Adesanya
​
Ray also collaborates closely with personal trainers and athletes, ensuring they receive the best possible care for injury prevention and recovery.
​
Commitment to Workplace Well-Being
Ray holds a current Annual Practicing Certificate with OCNZ and is ACC-registered, ensuring top-tier care for all his patients. In addition to his clinical work, he conducts workplace assessments and injury prevention training for corporate teams. Learn more about these services on our ‘Services’ page.
​
His passion for education also led him to lecture in anatomy and physiology in 2023—a role he found both challenging and rewarding. Ray remains dedicated to helping individuals move better, feel stronger, and prevent injuries.

Who We Are:
​Better Bodies Osteo is a family-owned and operated clinic founded by Stef and her husband Ray, a passionate and experienced osteopath. With over a decade of hands-on experience, Ray is dedicated to helping people move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
Outside the clinic, they’re proud parents to three energetic kids—Aelah, Aria, and Azaiah—whose curious and adventurous spirits keep life full of joy (and noise!). In summer, the family loves paddle boarding and spending time up north, soaking up the sunshine and making memories together. Ray also enjoys hunting and coaching his son’s rugby team, combining his passion for the outdoors with his love of mentoring and community. Whether it’s heading to church on Sundays, exploring nature, or winding down with a movie night and popcorn, family connection is at the heart of everything they do—both at home and in their approach to care.
