About Us
At SoreBods we offer a hands on approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal pain whatever the origin. We provide cover under ACC for the treatment of injuries suffered by accident and provide exercise rehabilitation to aid recovery and programs for return to sports and restoration of lifestyle.
Osteopathy is often associated with musculoskeletal medicine – treating work injuries, arthritis and joint pain, sport injuries, back and neck pain, tension headaches, pregnancy and babies and other joint or muscle disorders.
Our Belief
While Osteopathy is amazing in so many ways, we also know that sometimes other factors need taking into account. At Sorebods we work with you to optimise your body in every way - restoring movement, reducing pain, strengthening and conditioning, postural alignment at your desk and car, exercise ideas & diet advice etc. Often simple changes or additions to your daily life can have massive impacts in how you feel.

Vicki Cox
Vicki’s background in health and well-being has derived from an early interest in yoga movement and philosophy and ayurvedic therapy, which she studied while travelling in India in the 2008. After living in the UK and Europe for 15 years, she returned to the southern lands where she became interested in osteopathy and its holistic approach to individual well-being, having many similarities to the yogic view of health and healing.
Vicki treats with a personalised hands on approach, looking at global musculoskeletal movement to address areas of discomfort and restriction at a local level. She believes with the right encouragement and a mindful attitude, a person can optimize their quality of movement allowing for the enjoyment of pain-free adventures in life. She has experience in treating a broad variety of musculoskeletal conditions ranging from acute sports and recreational injury, to chronic and age related biomechanical changes.
Presently, she divides her osteopathic practice between Birkenhead and Pt Chev. Outside of the practice Vicki, her family and friends, make the most of the many activities that the great outdoors of Aotearoa has to offer, both coastal and in the snowy mountains.
